- Started Black Mirror from the beginning. I had only seen maybe 1-2 episodes (and the movie).
- This channel is crazy: https://www.youtube.com/user/24619carlos.
- Tradebot.
- https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt-group/tradebot/issues/5.
- Added fetch/analysis/sort for dividend and yield %.
- Some are as high as >20%, but it’s obviously dependent upon price. Some good standards are around 4-5 (verizon, ibm, etc). The securities in the S&P500 average out to about 2% right now.
- Banner. Ross 12 Remy 13 Franky 14 Art 15. Only two weeks still available.
- Only about 10% of both Portugal and Brazil speak Spanish. It’s pretty similar to Portuguese tho.
- Categorization is generally good. We can lump objects into groups, and that is a convenience. It’s efficient. It saves time. Those waterbreathing soap bars are fish, those large horseless cars are vans, etc.
- There’s nothing wrong with this, when it’s applied to objects. To companies. To Food.
- There is a problem with this, when it’s applied to people, because then the group identity is considered before the individual. A stranger sees a tribe, a color, a language, before a person. It is no longer an efficient shortcut, but is instead a presumption; a presumption about something that can change, a complex human being with free will.
- This applies to good and bad judgement; I don’t like X race, I am patriotic toward Y nation. They’re the same presumption, the same categorization, and both ultimately become a bias surrounding an irrelevant generalization.
- Awesome warriors story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHeAHaxW0nI.
- Jim Simons is the founder of RenTech. Net worth >21b. Went to Berkeley and MIT for math.
- Mackenzie Bezos (ex-wife) is the 15th richest american at 36b, all from the divorce settlement. 4th richest woman in the world.
- Supercontest. Updated last week’s single pick for Jeremy.
- select * from picks where user_id = 6 order by id desc;
- update picks set team = ‘DOLPHINS’ where id = 5927;
- UFC in Sao Paulo.
- Kaep did a practice workout today. Switched locations at the end, but footage should go to all 32 teams. Curious if anyone tries to pick him up, considering the underperformance of many starters right now.
- Made pistachio butter. As of right now, pecan butter is still king but I’ll try a bit tomorrow after it cools/settles/separates.
