Have they brought in online tests since the pandemic? I remember having to sit in interviews being given things like the p=np problem and asked to solve it. (potentially unsolvable, the test was your analytics).

If anyone wants to open a connection with me, here is my LN address over TOR. I have more than 0.3 BTC outgoing capacity, with up to 0.15 in a single channel.

Thanks I've added it!

I'll sort the reference tomorrow, I might have got your username wrong as I couldn't copy and paste..
That's a lot of capacity for a node also!

Is there a ticker for Norway's high cap stocks? Sweden and Denmark both seem to go off the top 30 which seems to not be many industries covered imo...

Is there no possibility Norway could adopt another Scandinavian currency or issue bonds. I don't like the idea of countries turning over to Euros as the krone has some age/history to it.

What currency do you expect Australia to turn to? Euros, Sterling?

On a similar point, Sweden's stock market looks to be doing quite well but it was stagnant for a long time (1999-2011) and might go back to that at some point.

There's the new government wonder diet that can reduce fat apparently so they might be trying to make things work that way.

I don't know what's considered fat anymore either to them that have been causing a lot of cases. I'd say 25-30 bmis and higher make people more susceptible although it might just be based on an ability to walk up and down stairs at a reasonable pace without getting out of breath now. I did think gaining weight made your immune system stronger so I'm a bit confused now.

I'd rather not be in contact with the virus because I'd then be more likely to pass it on (obviously) and result in someone else's death.

The government also continue to have meetings of more than 6 people without social distancing, and given the sacrifices some are making, seems extremely stupid. There's no reason the commons can't do a session online.

They're deleted because you look to just be spamming the topic.
If you were scammed, go to the reputation board and make a post there.

IF you make a post on their Ann thread YOU BUMP. THE THREAD TO THE TOP OF THE LIST. so you're potentially helping more people get scammed.

Did you get a reason for your ban in he ban message.

It might be worth saying POSTING anywhere outside this topic would be considered ban evasion and may get your old account permabanned instead.
3447  Other / Off-topic / Re: Any girls had similar experiences online on bitcoin forums on: September 12, 2020, 11:27:03 AM
I know there are a lot of girls on this forum, they just don't mention it in their profiles or anywhere (but some do).

I think this is an issue with reddit (it might not be the whole of reddit) but they definitely have a large "incel" community. Getting girls interested in the physical sciences is generally hard and that's how a lot of us come here from (afaik).

Just reply to stuff as you feel comfortable doing here, I don't think anyone of a high rank at least really cares that much.

Afaik with online translators there are 2 main problems:
Interfamily translation is hard to do
Spelling mistakes arent normally translated.

There are families like germanic languages (brittonic and nordic languages with German and Dutch are an example of one's in the same family) these are often easy to translate into the other as there isn't too much complex about the word ordering between them.

But trying to go from Indonesia to a britonnic language is going to be difficult for the translator to handle, you might be better off asking someone to translate for you.
3449  Economy / Economics / [edit resuming] Oxford-zenica coronavirus vaccine temporarily paused on: September 11, 2020, 04:00:34 PM
Just checked the news and apparently it's set to resume in a couple of days.

I think my last topic on the Russian vaccine seemed to go well and I'm not sure if ahyone wants an update so I thought I'd post this.

It seems good for safety of the vaccines that come out of the UK for covid since it has been paused over safety concerns.
1 of the 30 000 participants in the trial for the vaccine was taken ill so the entire testing process has been paused (probably until they find out what was the cause of the patient's conditions). The symptoms were a condition that caused inflation of nervous system tissue imo which could have A LOT of causes. This was the vaccine with the highest progress in trials though so it could now be overtaken.

Ps let me know if I should move this somewhere I can't decide where to put it.
3450  Other / Serious discussion / [UK] Who will the government blame next for spreading the virus on: September 11, 2020, 03:54:30 PM
So far we've had:
Nurses for going into care homes and hospitals and doing work
Police for having to enforce by consent (because apparently the government don't want to keep the peace)
Young people (after telling them all food in restaurants was half off and the virus troubles were over - and then sent them back to school/college/University).

I can imagine there's more I've missed...
3451  Economy / Economics / Re: UK economy continues to rebound upwards - but yet to cross pre covid levels. on: September 11, 2020, 03:46:53 PM
Pretty fast recover this time. Money printer is working but what did it cost?

Not sure they printed it, they borrowed £1+ trillion as if they were trying to make it worse than the last crisis debt wise... I think they were at a breakeven before this so they might have spent the other trillion they recovered too.

Not that debts really that bad if it's heald by other countries - they'll be deswaded from sanctioning you if you owe them and are paying.
3452  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: 2fa account - rare problem on: September 11, 2020, 03:42:12 PM
I don't think it's possible. Uou could try contacting their support email but realistically you'd need to get their server to comply with whatever you set up...

If you still have your seed, you might be able to sign something for them to transfer the 2fa credit to a segwit account.
3453  Economy / Economics / Re: UK economy continues to rebound upwards - but yet to cross pre covid levels. on: September 11, 2020, 10:38:48 AM
I think the furlough plan should be replaced by something else. Maybe a job retention scheme in a few sectors such as hospitality and tourism.

There's been a lot of free money being handed out so I'm not sure I was fully on board with the furlough scheme to start with (it mightve been wiser to have a system where you upload your outgoings for the month and reclaiming that (with a budget of 60-80%). The furlough scheme itself puts doctors and nurses in a situation where they're essentially volunteers imo too along with other sectors that have had to maintain their operations.

3454  Other / Meta / Re: Why does the hyperlink button create a hyperlink in that format? on: September 11, 2020, 09:54:41 AM
Do newbies not just copy and paste links themselves on their own and rely on the post interpreter to manage it?

I don't think anyone's actively looked for an insert link button without already being familiar with bbcode.

It might be an idea to get an anchor button though...?
3455  Other / Meta / Re: Why does SMF create post have an Insert Flash button? on: September 11, 2020, 01:33:00 AM
Do people actively use flash player for graphics now? I thought it was a security risk at least to leave it on your machine (or not set the permission to allow or deny it). I see he button though, can't find any flash animation I could just chuck in it that I feel is safe though to test it. If the button went I'm sure we'd get used to the new ui pretty quickly.

Can you give an example of the text allign thing too? I think the BBCode interpreter is either very complex or so few lines it'd be hard to set such constraints but I could be wrong.
3456  Economy / Economics / Re: Real estate vs. Bitcoin on: September 11, 2020, 12:15:25 AM
I don't know if real estate is declining here yet but I do think it'll come at some point and it's probably overdue in some places.

I was just reading this article :
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/10/manhattan-rental-market-plunges-leaving-15000-empty-apartments.html
Probably some types of properties in large cities in central areas are in for a price correction, at least temporarily but what I see around me is a huge demand for houses in the metropolitan areas of the city, just beyond the city ring ways.

I was looking at house prices in certain parts of the UK and they've at least tripled in a lot of places in the past 20 years... Which seems quite a dramatic rise.

If you think that's bad, how about 5-10 times, apartments going up from the equivalent of 500 euros per sqm2 to an average of 4000.

Yeah I think a lot of Europe is a leveraged version of the west, when they're doing well  house prices skyrocket..

I think there are also places in Spain that could still be quite cheap. (probably due to the lack of tourism there and the fact a lot of people think they're without clean running water).

I did just check the area I live in in a major city also and there seem to be about 70 property listings (in the UK unoccupied properties have a 200% council tax burden because some areas were just holding houses and producing monopolies that drove up prices so far and left semi affordable housing very scarce).
I was flicking through them and some don't even have prices yet (but this could just be because they've been rushed to the market).. It might be a nice time to buy soon (6-12 months) in that case unless cities are back to full capacity in a few months.
3457  Economy / Speculation / Re: If market crashes, BTC will crash twice as hard. on: September 10, 2020, 10:33:09 PM
For the record, bitcoin drop to as low as $3k in March, wiping out more than 50%, so yes it is technically a crash. But it has recovered nicely, even getting as high as $12400, however the price is not sustainable. And recently we have around 15% crash going into $10k. But remember this crashes, like in March was due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we could say the oil wars.

However, as I have mentioned, even if bitcoin crashes, if had recovered to more than x3, so it crash twice as hard, but rebounded while traditional markets is still on the recovery and majority of them are underperforming.

The S&P and the dax both recovered pretty fast though?

They were back to aths afaik when bitcoin reached 12k. And both have taken a recent hit.



The stock market should take a slow bleed imo after a crash and bitcoin should take a slow recovery if it crashes - that's what I'm expecting anyway.

Essentially "our staff don't know how to securely use computers and download random stuff from suspicious emails and our admin decided it'd be a great idea to not maintain a good enough level of backups and connect all the devices together for even less security"...

I hope they don't produce nuclear electricity anyway otherwise I'd have bigger concerns...

I didn't know where the 0.618 actually came from (thought it was something to do with the sequence but) the 34/55 =0.618 is quite nice....
1 / 1.618 = 0.618

When you solve the quadratic equation x2 - x - 1 = 0, you get [1 +- sqrt(5)]/2, of which the positive gives you the golden ratio. And obviously, since 1.618 is the multiplier for ascending terms, the other direction would give you the reciprocal.

The negative gives −0.61803398874989484820458683436563811772 too...

And yeah the reciprocal is 0.618.
