The stock market is chaos, driven by bias and a bunch of unknown and unknowable variables.

A simple example with 3 players.

• P1 thinks stock A is a good buy (for whatever reason) at $1/unit. P1 decides to buy putting upward pressure on the price.
• P2 has been holding a bunch of A for a while and has a number ($1) in mind to sell at, P1 can’t know this information. This sale puts downward pressure on the price.
• If P1 & P2 have the same number of shares, the pressures are equal, and the price doesn’t move. If they don’t the price moves either up or down.
• P3 has been watching A, sees that it moves and decides that this is a good time to buy, (going down its a bargain, going up its on the rise get in early), putting further upward pressure on the stock.

Each action by the different players causes something to happen to the price, no-one can know all the internal thought patterns of all the other interested parties, and thus can never have perfect information. And even with perfect information, it may not be possible to predict, as some stocks interact in non-predictable ways.

e.g. Nvidia goes up, TSMC usually goes up, but not always. TSMC going down can be caused by Nvidia, but also thousands of other things also.

Conclusion: can the stock market be predicted? General trends - Yes, specific stock movements - No!

Reading order

I’d start with either The Watch, or The Witches. Both are great, I’d avoid The Unseen University initially, his writing gets significantly better so the early books are harder to read.

Replied to wrong comment

Much better to use a mountain bike track, those skinny road bike tires are no good for riding over big bumps.

That is the English spelling of a word.

Poe’s law…

I don’t think you are saying what you think you are saying…

I just added it to fdroid… So that is nice

So I installed futo, I’m typing this edit using it.

The swiping is a little more precise, requiring a bit more precision on my part.

It just depends on what your goals are…

I’d prefer that we had more integrity in our leadership.

I like it that the site says the max length…this is not common. I wish it was.

On the internet, nobody knows that you are a horse.

Whilst I appreciate the Python reference.

I believe the meme is implying a far more intimate fart, as in contact between the farter and the fartee.

Or conversely, they are doing their jobs extremely well.

Nice catch! Autocorrect is a pain…

I’ve been loosely following this for years. Great to see it getting close to the deployable state.

Also the eventual stem cell treatment for replacing damaged Inner ear cells

Water (and other liquids) make solid things wet.

If you put water and oil in a container and they separate, the interface between them is not wet.

Humid air can make things wet, but that only happens when the moisture in the air condenses onto a solid surface. Humid air will not make the surface of a lake wet even though water is condensing out of the air onto that surface.

I know, I mean when you are too evil for even Nestle and really any oil company. You need to take a serious look in the mirror.

I feel there is a “No it’s them that are wrong” meme in here somewhere.
