Think of the word "awesome" - it generally correlates with positive sentiments (except in situations where awesome is used in its original meaning, then it's more neutral). Adding a "not" in front or behind the word "awesome" changes the sentiment of the phrase.
You can do sentiment analysis without using a NLP pipeline - there is no need to extract POS-tags, entities or dependencies if you have no need for them. In fact, you can just take a bunch of word vectors, and then average them over a sentence. Then softmax said average vector to your classes, and you'd get a very servicable sentiment analysis that would work 90% of the time. If you go down this path, I suggest using facebook's fasttext library which is..fast, and covers a lot of the challenges I mention below.

SegWit transactions take less space, are chaper and SegWit block is max 2gb. SegWit allows lightning network that makes transactions extra cheap and fast. We don't need any other increases in blocksize, because we have to keep bitcoin decentralized and runnable at any home PC. So we have to save space. The issue is the precedent, not the 2MB increase. Miners cannot be allowed to hard fork without the users' support. 2MB may be fine but if we accept the precedent, then we'll have 8/16/32MB blocks soon, and maybe eventually inflation.

I think bitcoin have good future, so many people put their investment into bitcoin. The fact bitcoin increasing price from early 2017 until now it's one of the prove it. So don't have doubt about future of bitcoin.
The dominance of the semiconductors as a group is going nowhere, as long as chips are needed to mine blockchain. Then we can talk about artificial intelligence, machine learning, video games, autonomous driving, and every other currently pertinent technology business line under development.

Sound like a dream. But imagine if a small PORTION of the total notional value of all derivative contracts ~$1.2 QUADRILLION (cause no one really knows the exact notional amount) flowed into bitcoin. Global debt stands at around $200 trillion, global equity markets around $80 trillion. Those amounts don't even include narrow money supply in the US of ~$3 trillion. The fed won't even publish M3 figures anymore. now add to this figure the narrow money supply of other nations around the world, more trillions.I was a hardcore gold bug before i found bitcoin, gold stands at around ~$8 trillion.
Add up all those trillions and another quadrillion worth of derivatives and some of these lofty valuations of bitcoin don't sound so far fetched. These figures don't even include transaction volume in these markets, just the market caps themselves! Personally, if bitcoin hits $100,000 i'd sell ten coins, keep my day job, ball out like a boss, and hodl the rest of my stash till i die.

Bitcoins are a crypto-currency.  That means they can be used like a currency, but don't physically exist like dollar bills.  They are an online currency which can be used to buy things.  They are digital cash that exist as bits on people's computers.  You can't put them in a drawer, like dollar bills or gold Krugerrands.  Bitcoins are used to complete transactions - just like any currency.  Even though they are virtual, rather than physical, they are used like cash when transferred between people through the web.
Being virtual is not inherently a bad thing.  The dollars on our financial institution statement, viewed online, are considered real money, even though those are just digital dollars.  The fact that Bitcoins aren't available in physical form is not really a downside, any more than the numbers on your financial statement are not available as physical currency either. Just like we use credit cards or debit cards to transfer value, Bitcoins can be spent in many locations, just like dollars.

We noticed more miners converting to gold on vaultoro instead of fiat. They give bitcoin to another trader and that trader gives them allocated gold. They then trade that gold back for bitcoin when they need to pay bills. Interesting bank independent times. The idea that big miners will go broke if halving doesn't bring a price increase is a laughable misconception of the reality. it will however, possibly force the small miners to move their equipments to big farms and increase the centralization of mining, which is a serious problem.

Well he discovered the cycle by noticing trends in history before he realised he was looking at an actual mathematically precise global cycle. What you're saying is kind of like saying the number Pi itself is arbitrary. You're entering into the realm of asking why the universe is constructed in ways that continually manifest out of mathematical constants like the number Pi. If you're asking specifically why it's Pi * 1000, and not Pi * 10000 or Pi * 100, the answer to that is that the cycle is fractal. If you continuously multiply or divide the timespan of 3141 days by pi you will get more numbers that he has found correlating trends for as well (approximate 8.6 year cycles within 27 year cycles within 86 year cycles, etc.) If you appreciate the fact that the universe is cyclical and fractal in it's very nature, the idea that the collective activity and behaviour of the entire human race would manifest itself in a pattern doesn't really seem that far fetched.

Investing and gambling both involve risk and choice. Interestingly, both the gambler and the investor must decide how much they want to risk. Some traders typically risk 2-5% of their capital base on any particular trade. Longer-term investors constantly hear the virtues of diversification across different asset classes. This, in essence, is a risk management strategy, and spreading your dollars across different investments will likely help minimize potential losses.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Is Bitcoin Gambling Industry So Successful in the World? on: October 05, 2017, 05:22:46 PM
Anonymity is the major reason why many prefer Bitcoin. Maintaining it in the e-Wallet is completely anonymous. For instance, depositing and withdrawing through Bitcoin eWallet is anonymous on its own, but in a really great Bitcoin casino, the process of signing up also is completely anonymous. Sites with features like these are the ones that attract many players. Cause gambling is still illegal at some countries, so this is the best feature to free gambling.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can you tell if you are suffering from gambling addiction? on: October 05, 2017, 05:18:06 PM
Most view gambling as a vice, even an illness. I'm proud of my affliction. For me, the beauty of gambling lies in its sheer irrationality. While some successful gamers rely on complex schemes to improve their odds, real gamblers never try to count cards or read a strategy guide. I couldn't tell you the chances of drawing a straight flush, and that's why I like to wager that I'll pull one. Every card dealt promises unbounded opportunity. Every hand is like a fresh start on life. Of course the rush I feel in the casino might just be from the second-hand smoke, but I'd like to believe it lies in this dance with fate.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Benefits from Gambling on: October 05, 2017, 05:14:28 PM
When you can attract thousands of people from outside your area to come and do business with you, some of the money they bring will be spent on local businesses around you. Also, you’ll spend the money you earn, thus contributing back to the economy. Many casinos have created vast opportunities for their local communities through hiring of employees, contracting with local businesses, and drawing in large numbers of people who stay overnight at local hotels. So while most of those people may go home losers, they will have injected new wealth into the local communities.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can maths help you win in gambling ? on: October 05, 2017, 05:03:41 PM
I just read one article that's about math can help you win at roulette game then i want ask with you all, did you believe math can affect to gambling games? i'm not expert in math so i don't know


this is the article that i readed.
http://theconversation.com/can-maths-help-you-win-at-roulette-69440
Yes ,maybe maths can help but not all the time. Albert Einstein supposedly once said: 'No one can win at roulette unless he steals money from the table while the croupier isn't looking.' Although I wouldn't normally question Einstein, this statement isn't true.  In fact, you can use Einstein's specialist subject, physics, to help you win. Or you can find a biased wheel that makes some numbers more likely to come up.
What Einstein actually meant was that there is no mathematical trick that can help you win at roulette.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots Strategies? on: October 05, 2017, 04:54:51 PM
Many people believe that playing slots is one of the simplest forms of gambling, this may be true in regards to the manual aspect but there is also strategical thinking involved when playing slots. Because most players do not understand how to win at slot machines, it causes negative assumptions like the simplicity behind the game, the  high probability of winning and the theory that no strategies are needed to win. Just because slot machines are the loudest and brightest game in any casino does not mean winning is easy. Yes, luck plays a huge role in slot success–but slot machine strategies can maximize your chances to win.
14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Price and development process on: October 04, 2017, 06:44:55 AM
I know what the current price of bitcoin is. That's most of the reason why Waves was dropping before. Bitcoin price isn't a sole reflection on Waves price though.
I've been in the crypto space for a long time. I've watched ETH have its boom from mere dollars... I remember 400 dollar bitcoin... I bought into Litecoin when it was 3 dollars. Don't need any instruction on how to view it's price thanks though. Things are going the way that we can't predict. So just live with it.
15  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you Do When You Run Out of Money to BUY During Such a Great Opportunity? on: October 04, 2017, 06:43:20 AM
I think most poeple in this situation will do the samething as me. They will find a person who will give them a loan with lowest fee. But business with loans are really a pressure , you could lose an opportunity then you can get another in future. But when you lost your trusts cause didn't pay the loans in time you will lose more than just an opportunity . So be careful !
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your reason to gamble? Fun or profit? on: October 04, 2017, 06:40:46 AM
At always, my purpose when i come to gambling is for fun only , it make things are becoming more attracted. Bringing more fun to watching it. But then things are more evil, greedy inside of me is raising day by day which lead to the problem:"i was addicted to gambling". I want to earn profit from gambling and it harms me much. For sometimes , i'm feeling like i'm in hell. Nothing in my hand left because i lost everything. But for now things are good, cause i don't bet anymore. Things now are just work work and work harder.
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you manage ur emotions? on: October 04, 2017, 06:34:07 AM
The best way to manage your emotion is : Understand your emotional needs. In order to manage your emotions, you need to fully understand them. All of us have certain emotional needs that are just as important as our physical needs. Spend some time taking an inventory of the emotional needs that are most important to you.

Make money from money actually is right but not simple that you have money and you will earn money from it for real, you could lose all the money which you spend to earn profit money. Except having money, you have to prepare a good plan with good stragedy and manage it perfectly. In investing or trading , you need to choose the right advise which bring you to heaven with your own money.

Coinbase gave me a Shift VISA card. I keep a portion of my BTC in a Coinbase account, and just use the card for purchases. All the buying/selling is taken care of automatically and records are kept on the Coinbase website. Whether you like Coinbase or not, you've got to admit that ' s pretty convenient.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Has South Korea banned ICOs? What is implication on Crypto market ? on: October 04, 2017, 06:22:13 AM
Yes, here is the official new: "South Korea bans all new cryptocurrency sales   South Korea bans all new cryptocurrency sales. South Korea's financial regulator on Friday said it will ban raising money through all forms of virtual currencies, a move that follows similar restrictions in China on initial coin offerings. The Financial Services Commission said all kinds of initial coin offerings (ICO) will be banned as trading of virtual currencies needs to be tightly controlled and monitored."
