Maybe all the insider trading going on is part of why the chances for regular investors to beat the market are so slim.


I doubt it.. I suspect that most of us would trade just as poorly if we knew Q results ahead of the announcement :)

Because it maybe up a bit or down a bit, but that's all going to measured relative to assumptions the market has and those assumptions aren't public either.


This is super cool and almost makes it possible building PWAs that only need a dumb http server to deliver the app as a bunch of static files and still allow users to synchronize data between their devices. It still depends on the tracker but if the user could change the tracker it sounds like it's currently the best way to get clients to communicate with each other without depending on a server provided by the PWA.


There is a reason why it was renamed from "My Computer" to "This PC".


If they are people, do three strike laws apply to them?


Does it actually work though? Ironically my experience is that windows api + proton are a more stable target than anything linux native. Even valve doesn't get it always right when shipping linux versions of their own games. See https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=30358... for example.


It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.


I have no clue how accurate that is https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Unity/


Finally someone is filling the knowledge gap identified by https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC300808/


> Advocates of evidence based medicine have criticised the adoption of interventions evaluated by using only observational data. We think that everyone might benefit if the most radical protagonists of evidence based medicine organised and participated in a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled, crossover trial of the parachute

“Oh yeah, tough guy? Jump out of this airplane.”


> “Indeed, in seminal work published in the BMJ in 2003, a systematic search by Smith and Pell for randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of parachutes during gravitational challenge yielded no published studies.1 In part, our study was designed as a response to their call to (broken) arms in order to address this critical knowledge gap.


Pomodoro never has worked for me. The productive periods always seem to end just when I'm in a flow state and the short breaks aren't long enough to do anything really recreational and fun. I now just track my productive and procrastinating time and try to keep them somewhat in balance. For that I hacked together a trivially simple PWA at https://timeth.at/. That way I can chug along for as long as it's comfortable to do something useful without interruption, and also get to enjoy some procrastination time without feeling guilty. I just need a gentle reminder from time to time not to spend 8 hours straight binge watching some show or waste the entire game playing video games.


Maybe they stick around for only 4 years too.
