Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

in bitcoinwisdom, we can choose "candlestick" or "candlestickHLC"  Does anyone know the difference?  Coinhamster: you are saying that candlestickHLC is explanation 1, but then what is "candlestick"?

pure example of why control and centralisation is useless and can be avoided with minimum harm:

Blind luck? You can't really call a roundabout centralisation.
Not the best example of subsidiarity since I'm guessing quite a few people have ended up in hospital on that road. Just not in the ~20 frames of that gif.

Funny thing is, at least traffic is moving.

no this is stupid as shit

it would flow much better if organized

i can;t believe this shit

Actually, take a look at this: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~aim/oldsim/

Play around with the simulation to get a feel for it.

Multiagent Traffic Management:
A Reservation-Based Intersection Control Mechanism

Traffic Light - cars must obey the traffic signals. Using this system, cars are delayed by an average of 9.45 seconds relative to how quickly they could travel without an intersection present.The traffic light has these parameters:

    Period: 30 seconds
    Alpha (fraction of period the light is green in the East/West direction): .45
    Beta (fraction of period the light is red in all directions between greens): .05

Reservation System - cars can reserve time slots in the intersection. The granularity of the reservation system for this simulation is 4 (i.e. the system consists of a 4 x 4 grid of reservation tiles). Using this system, cars are delayed an average of 0.076 seconds - significantly less than when using a traffic light.


tl;dr Decentralized autonomous traffic can be much more efficient than traffic lights.

trying to get me to run java code ah... no way! lol

idk man I think I'd rather wait 10 seconds then have to face that *lets cut everyone off because we want to get to where we are going* intersection  

edit: ok if i save over 60 seconds it might be worth it.

problem solved!

pretty sure this is it, in the next few hours 450 resistance will become support

Let me say I didn't manage to actually RUN the simulation. Chrome does not know Java is installed, tried installing it from Chrome's install link and nothing. Opera, Firefox and IE(!) know it's installed but is apparently blocked by some security setting SOMEWHERE because the code isn't signed. (IE didn't even know that, only reported SecurityException's). Found the option in Java settings (Control Panel, i know i know) and set it to "lowest" which apparently means only a allow/block prompt for unsigned code. Now none of the browsers is able to put the goddam parameters in the applet so I get some "height = 0" exception. What the fuck, man? Is Java completely dead like ActiveX already?

To each their own, that's 10 seconds (more in practice) for every intersection you ever drive through. It adds up. Also, I'm much more annoyed by traffic lights waiting than, say, crowded and slowish traffic.

EDIT: to continue the circle jerk with an actual example of real and not simulated traffic light masturbation

Relax, I'm running a usable Windows 7 in a vBox on unusable Debian. That's the spirit. If you respect real security practices, you only browse with Lynx on handmade hardware

Is your strategy to keep saying it all the way down until the inevitable time when you are correct?

Then of course the classic follow-up: "called it!"

[nioc]

i gotta say im still quite convinced about that :

Decentralized autonomous traffic can be much more efficient than traffic lights.

you guys that seem not to agree didnt come up with as much material to support your point of view.

wow how do they know which light is for them ?

Really hard to drive there...

and back to the topic I see price went up a bit which is really good.

once resistance becomes support (450) bears are going to have to think long and hard about what they are shorting...

It is pretty annoying but I prefer this kind of prediction than I think the price is going to stay between 440 and 460 for a few months : how unlikely is that!

My predictions are usually that it will go up tremendously

"autonomous traffic"

Troll harder. Even grandpa can see the functional traffic lights in there. If anything, you prove people do dumb shit when presented with traffic lights.

no ya, your right!



its a revelation!
