Can x and y both be allomorphs of z, but not allomorphs of each other?

Alright. Here's another post with all the languages of my fantasy world Almar. There's a few new ones since last time, and others have seen some work since last. The sample text is different this time, with this one emphasising:

• Pronouns
• Ditransitives
• Complement clauses

Why 12 languages, Sarradena?:

My intent with these languages is - God willing - for use in a graphic novel. The languages are intended as an aesthetic tool - to create a sense of life, scope and depth to the world. Background chatter, untranslated dialogue, to show vast distances travelled, different people meeting.

The approach with all of these languages (bar a single exception) is naturalism. Some languages are based heavily on real life languages, while others are more or less independent inventions. In theory - each and every one of them is made with a very specific purpose in the story. Shúyh is spoken by a single major character, for instance, and Míca by various characters in Part III.

The story and world are both slowly coming together. But it's a massive and terrifying beast with a great deal of moving parts that all have to fit neatly together, and there's still the pesky business of finding an artist and the whole publishing thing. And I have a novel to finish, so it's still a few years off, I think.

I haven't made any recordings for most of the languages. Dunno that I will.

I'll showcase each language by showing its translation of the phrase:

"I know that she won't give the stone to you (two)"

Note that I did copy a bunch of lore text and such from the last post because I'm lazy.

Kelnaran

Valfuan -> Trans-Irisian -> Kelnaric -> Kelnaran

Spoken by the Kelnarans, a human people and a major imperial power in the world of Almar. The Kelnarans rule their vast colonial empire from their home island of Kelnara. To imagine the Kelnarans, imagine a black-bearded, olive-skinned nobleman clad in an ornate golden uniform, wielding a massive saber and striding galantly and triumphantly across the bodies of those he has subjugated.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Since one of the main criticisms that CCP defenders have is that player feedback is abusive and non-constructive, here's a pseudo effortpost on the issues with Capital Industry from the perspectives of the official best poster in r/eve

1. Volume of Capital Components prevents collaboration

One of the stated goals of the capital industrial change is to make it harder for one player to build everything, and distribute the process of building capital ships among more players. In order for this to happen, players presumably have to trade capital components between each other, then bring those capital components to a different system for final assembly if the players do their building in different systems for index purposes.

The sheer volume of Capital Components makes this very difficult. Every capital component is 10,000 M3 in size, you can only fit 33-36 in one Jump Freighter, and a single Revelation requires ~190 Capital Components (1,900,000 M3), or ~6 Jump Freighter loads just for the Capital Parts. In contrast, the raw materials to build those parts only needs 1 Jump Freighter to carry, EVE industry is filled with these types of things where things get bigger as you build them. This means that by building all capital components in house, the player can save 5 Jump Freighter trips, a large competitive advantage over those who choose to outsource capital parts. This was never an issue before, since the simple Bill of Materials (BOM) for capital ships made it easy for one player to manage everything themselves and the parts would never leave the system they were built in (or in the older days, leave the POS where they were built). At the current this volume is largely preventing capitals ship parts from being traded and players from collaborating.

Proposed Solution

• Reduce the Volume of all Capital Components from 10,000 M3 to 1,000 M3

• Reduce the Volume of Core Temperature Regulator from 1,000 M3 to 100 M3

• Reduce the Volume of Capital Core Temperature Regulator from 28,000 M3 to 10,000 M3

• Reduce the Volume of Life Support Backup Unit from 100 M3 to 10 M3

• Reduce the Volume of Auto-Integrity Preservation Seal from 45 M3 to 5 M3

I apologize for the clickbaity title, but I wanted to make a post that hopefully provides some insight for anyone looking to become a DE in a FAANG-like company. I know for many people that's the dream, and for good reason. Meta was a fantastic company to work for; it just wasn't for me. I've attempted to explain why below.

It's Just Metrics

I'm a person that really enjoys working with data early in its lifecycle, closer to the collection, processing, and storage phases. However, DEs at Meta (and from what I've heard all FAANG-like companies) are involved much later in that lifecycle, in the analysis and visualization stages. In my opinion, DEs at FAANG are actually Analytics Engineers, and a lot of the work you'll do will involve building dashboards, tweaking metrics, and maintaining pipelines that have already been built. Because the company's data infra is so mature, there's not a lot of pioneering work to be done, so if you're looking to build something, you might have better luck at a smaller company.

It's All Tables

A lot of the data at Meta is generated in-house, by the products that they've developed. This means that any data generated or collected is made available through the logs, which are then parsed and stored in tables. There are no APIs to connect to, CSVs to ingest, or tools that need to be connected so they can share data. It's just tables. The pipelines that parse the logs have, for the most part, already been built, and thus your job as a DE is to work with the tables that are created every night. I found this incredibly boring because I get more joy/satisfaction out of working with really dirty, raw data. That's where I feel I can add value. But data at Meta is already pretty clean just due to the nature of how it's generated and collected. If your joy/satisfaction comes from helping Data Scientists make the most of the data that's available, then FAANG is definitely for you. But if you get your satisfaction from making unusable data usable, then this likely isn't what you're looking for.

It's the Wrong Kind of Scale

I think one of the appeals to working as a DE in FAANG is that there is just so much data! The idea of working with petabytes of data brings thoughts of how to work at such a large scale, and it all sounds really exciting. That was certainly the case for me. The problem, though, is that this has all pretty much been solved in FAANG, and it's being solved by SWEs, not DEs. Distributed computing, hyper-efficien

So there I was, looking intensely at Minecraft textures as I'm cooking up a larger post, when I realized something:

If you look past the bright orange veins on magma blocks, it's literally just netherack underneath. This makes a great deal of sense when you recall magma blocks' origins: as a nether exclusive block back in the frostburn update.

If you remove the magma lines, it's clearly netherack at its heart.

However, in more recent updates, it has been spawning in the overworld more often, particularly in water features, and the netherack texture contrasts hard with the surrounding stone. (Given the nether's primary color is red, and the overworld underground's is gray)

Thus, my proposition: Two magma blocks, one for the overworld, one for the nether.

Overworld Magma could be called Tuff Magma Block, and the texture could look like a tuff block underneath instead. Its shade of gray blends better with standard stone while remaining somewhat distinct. (Something about normal stone with magma lines just looks wrong in my opinion, tuff's extra texture makes it work a bit better)

A color comparison against normal stone. Obviously this wouldn't be the final texture, given I have a serious lack of artistic skill.

The Magma we currently know could be renamed Netherack Magma, to distinguish it.

To craft the distinct versions, you craft the magma cream around the block used as a base.

Tuff magma would appear in water features, and Netherack Magma would appear in the nether and near broken nether portals.

With a more overworld-centric magma block in place, we could probably add a unique distribution for it, such as in areas around lava aquifers, rather than simply at the bottoms of water aquifers.

The mechanical difference I can think of off the top of my head would be that Tuff Magma wouldn't have infinite burn like the netherack based one does. But one could probably come up with other ways to mechanically differentiate the two, if such a thing is desired.

(I don't know, maybe you can't crouch to avoid damage on netherack magma, but fire protection enchants automatically block the damage on it specifically or something, some kind of wacky change like that.)

Papa Cohen owns his shares in an LLC

There has been a lot of debate over the effectiveness of direct registering shares held in IRA accounts, how best to do so, and if it's even possible. I've found an interesting option that seems to be optimal given each concern brought forth. For those concerned over whether or not having a custodian in charge of your IRA will impact the ability of these shares to be lent, this appears to solve that problem. For those who wish to avoid any hefty tax or other penalties associated with cashing out your retirement account and wiring the funds over to buy, direct register, and lump them with the rest of your shares, this appears to solve that problem as well.

It turns out that there is more than one type of Self-Directed IRA account. The one causing concern for some is the "Custodian Controlled Self-Directed IRA". In these accounts, the custodian does everything on your behalf at your direction. The concern is that because this custodian is essentially holding the shares for you, it may be possible for them to continue lending them behind your back. There is a cool way to get around this though, like there is with most things in the financial world.

Enter the "'Checkbook Control' Self-Directed IRA". Also called a Self-Directed IRA LLC, Self-Directed LLC, Checkbook Control IRA, etc., this is a special type of IRA account that essentially came out of the court case Swanson v. Commissioner, 106 T.C. 76 (1996). The interesting bit here in these cases is that Mr. Swanson caused his IRAs to form and own two companies. He made himself director of these companies, and then directed the custodian of his IRAs to purchase all of the original issue stock in the companies he created. This left his IRA accounts holding all of the shares in his companies, letting him retain full control of the companies he created. This also injected his companies with all the cash in his IRA accounts. Remember, those companies sold stock to his IRA accounts, so it makes sense that the companies that sold stock should receive money for it, right? This was all upheld as being legal by the courts. The only part the courts didn't like was that one of the companies was basically intermingling funds with a p

tl;dr: KLab has recovered from past financial losses by restructuring itself and releasing killer games. As part of KLab’s recovery plan from its huge financial loss in 2021, KLab had reviewed every existing game in its portfolio. From the review, KLab have decided to sell off SIFAS over other games for a range of reasons, including bleak future growth, intense competition and overlap in SIFAS’ genres and cost inefficiency.

In the last post, I presented data that described Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS’ (SIFAS’) decline in revenue and player numbers and explained why SIFAS is in decline. These declines have happened in the backdrop of KLab’s precarious financial situation which have recorded losses in 2021. To recoup these losses, KLab has launched a recovery plan that involves releasing new games, restructuring costs and reviewing its existing games. In reviewing their existing games, KLab has viewed SIFAS as a game that will neither be popular nor profitable in the future, motivating its sell-off to MyNet Games. In light of this event, in this post, I will provide more background on KLab’s financial situation, how KLab has resolved financial losses in the past, and how both are linked to KLab’s decision to move on from SIFAS.

KLab’s current financial situation

Net profit/loss in KLab for each quarter of 2020/2021 (excluding 4Q 2021)

Revenues and total costs in KLab for each quarter of 2020/2021 (excluding 4Q 2021)

Since the 4th quarter of 2020, KLab has been suffering losses in each quarter. Compared to their respective quarters in 2020, quarters in 2021 had lower revenues and expenses. However, revenues declined more quickly than expenses, resulting in KLab recording a loss in each quarter of 2021. Consequently, as of the end of the 3rd quarter of 2021, KLab has recorded a loss of 1.767 billion Japanese yen in 2021, and is projected to lose around 2.3 billion Japanese yen by the end of 2021.

Do your worst!

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has renewed his feud with the NSW government, saying the state had “comprehensively failed” its people and was responsible for a wave of Covid infections around the country.

Speaking after he flagged a $2.4bn forecast operating surplus for this financial year — a windfall that will do nothing to dampen Mr Perrottet’s calls for an overhaul of the GST carve-up methodology — Mr McGowan said NSW was trying to blame other states for its failures.

“NSW are the architects of their position,” he said. “The government in NSW failed. They don't like to hear it and the commentators in NSW don't like to hear it, but they did.” He highlighted the contrast between the forecast deficit announced by NSW today, and the $32bn net debt carried by WA, as a sign of the eastern state’s “failures”.

“They announced today a deficit of nearly $20bn. Their one-year deficit in NSW is two-thirds of the entire state debt of Western Australia that has been racked up over the last 120 years and they've achieved that in one year. They’ve failed comprehensively,” he said.

He said NSW’s financial problems stemmed from their failure to adequately lock down when Covid was gaining a foothold earlier this year.

“They were out there saying gold standard contact tracing would solve the problem. Well, it didn’t. Then they paid the price, and the rest of the country paid the price as well,” he said.

“They infected Victoria twice, they infected New Zealand. They did it to us, but we did what had to be done in late June and we got rid of the virus here, which of course no one over there acknowledges or remembers.

“They failed comprehensively on multiple fronts. Virus management, economic management, financial management. They are going to cause generations of people from the great state of NSW to have to pay off their debt because of their failures. They shouldn't blame others for that.”

Mr Perrottet described Mr McGowan as the “Gollum of Australian politics” earlier this year over the WA leader’s determination to hold on to the state’s share of the GST.

WA is guaranteed to retain at least 70c of every dollar of GST revenue it raises under a deal struck between the McGowan and Turnbull governments back in 2018.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese have ruled out heeding Mr Perrottet’s call for an early review of the GST distribution methodology.

The lyrics of Side Effects are simultaneously straightforward but lend themselves to multiple interpretations. It could be about a mental disorder itself, an addiction, struggling to adjust to medication/find the medication that works, fear of recovery, fear that recovery is unattainable, overdose, etc. etc. I'm using the trigger warning flair here because of the dark tone and discussion of mental health; it should be fine but you can't be too careful.

Lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance... I listen to Side Effects way too much to not write a post covering literally everything about it. And since my semester was pushed back a week, I had time to write this so here's a couple of thousand words talking about it. I loved this song even back when I avoided Stray Kids at all costs, I'm long overdue for this.

The only thing is that the analysis of the lyrics ended up being enough for its own post. So I'll get to everything else some other time.

TW: Mental illness, medication/pills, panic attacks

And just to note: I use CCL for lyrics.

Repetition is used in the lyrics in a manner that mirrors the repetitive nature of the genre: psytrance. But the tone and delivery of the lines changes throughout the song in order to mirror the thoughts and emotions of the narrator shifting. Let's go somewhat chronogically, and start at the beginning:

>[Seungmin] nal mitgoseo nal deonjyeosseo
>
>hajiman wae hwipsseulligo isseulkka
>
>[Chan] nal mitgoseo nal deonjyeosseo
>
>hajiman wae apeugiman han geolkka

The first instance of this verse is delivered by Seungmin then Chan, and then inverted the second time it’s repeated, which is after the first chorus. The former is much darker, gravelly, mumbled, despondent and apathetic. The translation of the line is: “I believed in myself and threw myself in / But why am I being swept away? / I believed in myself and threw myself in / But why does it only hurt?” When in the second delivery of these lines, the vocals are much more clear and hopeful.

This illustrates a progression from the narrator trying to hide their feelings, internalizing them and absorbing the pain, to them expressing how they feel more outwardly. The change in the instrumental supports this and gives the impression that the narrator is seeking help for their struggle, or perhaps is hopeful that there’s a

INTRODUCTION

This post will attempt to explain the differences in how Filipinos and Indonesians see ethnicity and the nature of the two societies. A couple of years ago I did some posts on the Philippines and Indonesia like TL: DR Reasons for the failure of the Philippines’s foreign policy,

The post will be organized as follows

1. LATITUDINAL VS LONGITUDINAL ARCHIPELAGIC STATE
2. AUSTRONESIAN CORE
   1. ETHNICITY AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
3. ETHNO-CULTURAL DIAGRAM
4. RELIGIOUS-CULTURAL LAYERS
5. MULTIPLE SOCIETIES VS MAINSTREAM FILIPINO SOCIETY
6. HIGHLAND AND LOWLAND SOCIETIES
7. BLOOD, LOCATION, AND CULTURE

Many, like Samuel Huntington's in his book Clash of Civilization (1996) label Indonesia as Islamic, and the Philippines as Western, but beyond these simple labels, people are left hanging. Little is done to describe the structure of the societies, how ethnic groups and religious minorities are organized. The four takeaways from this post are:

• Indonesia is a longitudinal archipelagic state-aligned by trade and a shared lingua franca. The Philippines is a latitudinal archipelagic state orientated loosely by trade with China, and later on, shared religion.
• In Maritime Southeast Asia, there are cultural layers, such as Sanskritization, Islam, and Christianity.
• The Indonesian state believes Indonesia consists of multiple societies. While most Filipinos and the Philippines state assume there is mainstream Filipino society.
• The Indonesian state defines ethnicity by blood and keeps detailed records of regions' ethnic composition. The Philippines' state doesn't keep such data.

This post will be the beginning of a series of posts I will do about Indonesia and the Philippines. The purpose of this particular post is to provide a very rough framework for looking at ethnicity, culture, and religion in Indonesia and the Philippines. I won't get into the "why", that will be for subsequent posts.

I decided to do this post, because Indonesia's importance to the Philippines is understated, and its importance will increase markedly after Indonesia moves its

TLDR Version
I'm launching my first programming course about learning to program with the Go programming language, which's been in development for nearly a year.

What's inside:

• ~26h of educational videos
• 75 non-trivial exercises to apply what you've learnt
• 4 game projects to boost your portfolio - Snake, Pong, Hangman, Zombie Attack

Here's the link: https://www.udemy.com/course/learn-programming-with-go/?couponCode=GOLANGROCKS

Longer version
Hey folks, over the last few years I've been involved with Go development both professionally and in some of my side projects.

Throughout this time, I've shared some of my learnings via blog posts on my website - https://pmihaylov.com, and also shared some of those articles in this subreddit. Having come from a C/C++ background, I have to say that I have been quite surprised with how welcoming the Go community is and how much support I've received along the way in contrast to my previous experience \w programming communities. Some of my pieces were found to be helpful and they've been praised a lot. Others, not so much, for which I've received constructive criticism, but I've never felt personally attacked or offended in any way.

For all that, I am very grateful and I hope we continue to grow gracefully as a community, staying positive, kind and welcoming to newcomers to the Go ecosystem.

Despite that, one thing I did struggle with in the beginning was the lack of beginner-friendly content on learning Go. Back then, I already had several years of experience behind my back, and yet, it was still a bumpy ride. I can only imagine what it's like to learn Go as your first programming language.

I've also written about my learning experience in this article which was positively received in this subreddit and overall I had the feeling other people have had similar experience. One of the claims I made in the article was that if you're just getting started with programming, Go is probably not a good first language to pick up. Not because it's a complicated language, but because I've failed to find good beginner-friendly content online.

Hence, for nearly a year now, I've been preparing my first online programming course which is called "Learn Programming with Go, One Game at a Time". It's meant to bridge this gap. It's not a course about Go. It's a course about learning programming using Go.

It covers a lot of core CS concepts such as how

puts us in a position to be laser-like

focused

on both identifying opportunities and

managing the risks of the portfolio

so unlike

most of your traditional asset managers

we're in a very different business in

terms of having to be just continually

focused

on how do you have in the marketplace

a competitive advantage in identifying

mispriced assets and opportunities

around the world

so that brings us back to the core of

our market making business which is

around predictive analytics

in the hedge fund we spend an incredible

amount of time forecasting

where we think for example the price of

natural gas will be in the united states

where the 10-year bond yield will be a

month forward think about that mindset

of forecasting

future prices

and bring it into a very short-term

horizon say the next

and then apply those forecasts

and thinking about how you manage the

risk inherent

in a portfolio that is given to you in

your capacity of providing liquidity to

the marketplace

so at 100 000 feet we're in the

forecasting business

and in the hedge fund our forecasts tend

to be

forecast that are measured over weeks or

months

and in the market making business those

forecasts are thought of as being

measured in the course of of minutes

hours or days

but at the core of both of these

businesses is very much a focus on

predicting what the future will be

so for example in the market making

business you'll see technologies like

machine learning being used

⚠️ IN CASE YOU DIDN'T READ THE TITLE: POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR THE ANIME ⚠️

I’ll be making a post for everything we know about the anime very soon. Keep an eye for my comment under this post as I’ll add a link to that post once it’s up.

This post specifically will be a deep dive into the leaks that have to do with the pacing of Season 4 Part 2. I'll be establishing a quantifiable method of looking at how long certain chapters take to adapt and then combining that information with the leaks to speculate on and analyze the upcoming episodes. Note that when I say pacing I mean adaptational pacing, ie. if manga content is cut, adapted or added to, and NOT the actual flow of the story.

Here’s a guide for the different sections:

- The purpose of this post

- The leaks

- Looking at the upcoming episodes

- Conclusion

- TL;DR

Because of how comprehensive this post is, unless you’re really into this topic then my recommendation is scroll down to the TL;DR to hear my point, and if you want a more intensive breakdown on everything then read from the beginning.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS POST

This is somewhat of a sequel to the post I made a little over a year ago, for Season 4 Part 1. You can check that out here.

Like the previous post, there are three main functions of this post:

• Summarize the current speculative information out there regarding which episodes will cover which chapters
• Assess the value of this pacing
• Give an overall understanding of a good adaptational rate in the context of the AoT anime

The initial post came about because I saw a need to explain how the leaks for Part 1 indicated the anime would rush through the manga content. I anticipated the main leak regarding the pacing (Episode 16 covering Chapter 122) being wrong and emphasized this many times, but in spite of that it was worthwhile to make the post anyway as many people seemed to be under the impression that 2 chapters per episode (Or "2x pacing" for short) was the general pacing for the anime. The point was to convey how if Part 1 was indeed doing a 2x adaptation, we should anticipate a lot of skipped content. Likewise, this post is inspired by many people assuming the contrastingly slow pacing of the leaks for Part 2 is a good sign. It very well could be depending on what you want out of an anime adaptation, but overall I want

###What's the poll?

####We can use the Flair system to give Moons bonuses or penalties to encourage the best kind of posts that all visitors to the sub enjoy and benefit from. Moons awarded should be proportional to effort spent.

###How?

####A few of us Mods recently changed the flair system to be less specific and get rid of some of the older and irrelevant flairs. We currently award 10% (x0.1) of moons to Comedy posts and Media posts. I propose that we choose some sensible "Moons Multipliers" to all of our flairs.

###What's the benefit?

####Some of the best and most helpful posts on this subreddit are when redditors sit down and perform awesome write-ups. I've seen tonnes of helpful threads such as a full documentation of the best Liquidity Farming platforms, users that create tools for the community to use, and in-depth, thoughtful debates. I believe we can further incentivize these posts by awarding Multipliers to each flair to curate the content this community provides to what's beneficial, and not link farming or lazy comedy posts with minor alterations.

###What's the drawback?

####A hell of a lot of posts get submitted daily to this subreddit. 4 figures per day sometimes. And as this has the potential to award users more Moons than normal for their posts, you can bet your ass some gaming of the system will go down. Here's some thoughts I've had for you to digest;

• While users can game the system, we only need to consider the handful of posts that reach the front page. I couldn't care less if someone awarded their 16 karma post a 1.25x Multiplier flair.

• Incorrectly flaired and popular posts are inherently viewable and we already have "incorrect flair" reporting, plus the ability to change flairs.

• Users can't change flair after set, so they can't game posts after they've become popular.

• This could cause a reduced diversity of posts, but the types of posts that earn bonus moons do require extra effort.

###Proposed Multipliers

####I've posted this a few times in the Meta sub and the current flairs & their proposed multipliers are well accepted. There's always room for improvement however.

Hi Apes,

I posted this 3 months ago when DRS was still in its infancy, and it did not get a lot of traction, so another ape asked me to repost it for visibility (thx u/AzureFenrir) Here goes!

Tired Canadian ape here.

TLDR: Canadian banks have set-up a backup plan in case their over-leveraged tits go up, buy-ins, where they use your money to bail themselves out. Also, in case they become insolvent, each investing account is insured for up to $1,000,000, or the value of the shares in the account at time of the bank's default.

If a client bought one hundred shares of Company X at $50 per share through a member firm, and the share value on the day of the member firm’s insolvency was $30, CIPF’s objective would be returning the one hundred shares to the client because that’s the property in the client’s account at the date of insolvency. If the one hundred shares are missing from the account, CIPF would provide compensation based on the value of the missing shares on the day of the firm’s insolvency. In this example, that’s $30 per share.

(To further clarify, if the value of the 100 shares were $50 million each, then CIPF would provide compensation to their maximum insured limit of $1 million per account.)

Me: Ummm …. Why would the shares be missing?
TD Lawyer: I don’t know. Maybe because they weren’t delivered in time before the other company went bankrupt.
Me: As in “failure to deliver”??
TD Lawyer: Yes.

Preface:

Something in the back of my mind was always bothering me: what of all the shares left behind with my broker (TD Waterhouse) in my registered accounts? I had very little shares in my cash account (2%) and initiated a DRS mid-sept.

I read from Dr. T's book, chapter 18 how some US brokers screwed over their clients and deleted shares out of existence. I was told CMKM was a failed stock, and the fact shares were deleted was normal.

I posted here and got downvoted to hell. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/prg9bw/will_brokers_delete_phantom_shares/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Whatever, I kept digging.

For the naysayers, here are my "credentials" at the time of writing this guide:

• I am currently sitting at the final checkpoint of Division1 and am intentionally quitting games (giving away the wins when I do) to prevent myself from being promoted into Elite.
  • "But wahoos, why aren't you in the Elite division?" Because I prefer my balls to not be sweaty 100% of the time, but that's just me.
• It kinda sucks that there isn't a Weekend League leaderboard anymore. This picture of me having 4 TOTW packs saved up will have to suffice as proof that I finished at Rank 1 for both of the first two Weekend Leagues
  • "But wahoos, how is a picture of 4 TOTW packs proof?" Well, rank 2 in WL gives you 1 TOTW pack as a reward and rank 1 in WL gives you 2 TOTW packs as a reward. So you see, that is proof.
• "But wahoos, what about your qualifiers?"
  • I went 8-0, 8-1, and 8-1 in qualifiers. I gave away a win in the 8-0 qualifier.
  • I don't have proof of this. Do you really need it? C'mon man

This is your obligatory warning that no, this is not a meta setup. This is a VERY lengthy guide in which I will cover player types to use, instructions, tactics, team examples for multiple budget levels, and more. I spent a hefty amount of time learning the game mechanics this year, testing out the tactic changes, etc so please feel free to comment with any questions you may have.

So, with all that said, and proof provided, please sit back and lemme tell you somethin

Susan: Jag & Bradley would you mind introducing yourself?

Bradley: Yeah, sure. You want to go first Jag?

Jag: Yeah, sure. My name is Jagdeep Sidhu. I’ve been in the space since 2013 with about 25 years of software experience. I’m the Syscoin core developer, and CTO of Blockchain Foundry which is a for profit public company listed in the Toronto security exchange. We’re in Toronto, and development happens mostly in Vancouver. The Syscoin Community or Foundation was established for us to do research on Blockchain Foundry.
We accept votes for changes. For example, if a new change was to happen we would vote on that in the foundation. The foundation is established in Netherlands. We established it around 2017, so mainly we’ve been in the space from 2013 and we’ve seen all of the ups and downs of this space and we’re at a really good point now. We realise scalability if the next step.

Susan: Yeah thank you. Thanks Jag. Bradley would you mind introducing yourself?

Bradley: I’m Bradley Stephenson. I’ve been in the SYScommunity since late 2016. I joined the Foundation around late 2018, early 2019 and essentially what the Foundation is.. its the off-chain governance for the Syscoin Protocol. Our first and foremost priority is to stay open, public, and decentralised as a base layer. We have Blockchain Foundry members, you know, on our Foundation board as well. Our foundation is built and structured in such a way where no external part has majority influence over decisions that are made within the Foundation. We are careful about that, and we plan accordingly. You know, me personally I learned about bitcoin back in late 2011.

Susan: Wow that’s so early.

Bradley: yeah, I didn’t fully understand Bitcoin then. A couple of years later I started understanding the significance of the technology. I stated getting more involved owning bitcoin, and experiment with it in 2014. I’ve gotten more involved since then. I see the significance it represented for the world and the future of the human race. Here I be.

Susan: Great introduction. So we all know that great projects start with a problem, what problem do you see in the current blockchain space?

Bradley: Okay, what I see is the problem which is on the edge of being solved. And it has existed since the beginning of, you know, Bitcoin main-chain. Even more so it’s the stability issue in particular for centralised computation. Which ETH has faced over the years. Syscoin, having been around since 2014, which

You have no running water or electricity, no mechanical tools. You still get around by horse because cars are a foreign imposition and you don't trust them; too new. Besides, you could never afford one anyway. You remember being stunned the first time you heard a radio, and it's still the most advanced entertainment system you can get your head around. Your entire life has been lived within a few-mile radius of your wet field.

Until one morning, a second sun is born on the horizon and you look into the distance to see a city evaporate--followed by the loudest noise any living human has heard, a solid mass of sound and force so immense it physically knocks you out. ...Because, while you were hucking rice into a sack for subsistence, some guys on the opposite side of the planet were figuring out how to manipulate matter at the existential level.

The contrast between how fast tech advances and how unevenly it's distributed is weird to think about, that's all.

What is a rollup?

A rollup is essentially a separate blockchain, but with a couple of modifications. Like Ethereum, a rollup protocol has a “virtual machine” that executes smart contract code. The rollup’s virtual machine operates independently from Ethereum’s own virtual machine (the “EVM”), but it is managed by an Ethereum smart contract. This connection allows rollups and Ethereum to communicate. A rollup executes transactions and processes data, and Ethereum receives and stores the results.

On a technical level, the crucial difference between a rollup chain and other more conventional blockchains is the way in which new blocks are produced.

Normally, a blockchain is maintained by a distributed network of parties (“miners” or “validators,” depending on the kind of chain). These parties produce blocks jointly via consensus. In simple terms, the parties vote on how to process a set of transactions—or in other words, how to construct the next block. The block with majority support is the one that is written permanently onto the chain.

By contrast, a rollup chain does not operate via majority rule. Instead, a single party monitoring the state of the rollup can send what’s called an “assertion” back to Ethereum about how the transactions ought to be processed. Importantly, Ethereum will accept or reject this assertion independently of whether a majority of the other rollup parties support this assertion. In practice, what this usually means is that a single party on the rollup is designated the task of processing transactions and producing blocks.

TL:DR

Rollups are solutions that perform transaction execution outside Layer 1 but make transaction data available on Layer 1. By moving computation offchain, they free up more space onchain. Onchain data availability is crucial, since it allows Ethereum to double check the integrity of rollup transactions.

4 Types of Solutions

Optimistic roll-ups

• In optimistic rollups, batches of transaction data are posted to the main chain and presumed to be valid (optimistic) but can be challenged. Theoretically, anyone can challenge them by submitting a claim, also known as fraud proof, to prove that a batch committed to the chain contained invalid state transitions. If the fraud proof is valid, these invalid state transitions would be rolled back.
• The challenge with optimistic roll-ups, from a usability perspective, is that batches posted to the main chai

Papa Cohen owns his shares in an LLC

There has been a lot of debate over the effectiveness of direct registering shares held in IRA accounts, how best to do so, and if it's even possible. I've found an interesting option that seems to be optimal given each concern brought forth. For those concerned over whether or not having a custodian in charge of your IRA will impact the ability of these shares to be lent, this appears to solve that problem. For those who wish to avoid any hefty tax or other penalties associated with cashing out your retirement account and wiring the funds over to buy, direct register, and lump them with the rest of your shares, this appears to solve that problem as well.

It turns out that there is more than one type of Self-Directed IRA account. The one causing concern for some is the "Custodian Controlled Self-Directed IRA". In these accounts, the custodian does everything on your behalf at your direction. The concern is that because this custodian is essentially holding the shares for you, it may be possible for them to continue lending them behind your back. There is a cool way to get around this though, like there is with most things in the financial world.

Enter the "'Checkbook Control' Self-Directed IRA". Also called a Self-Directed IRA LLC, Self-Directed LLC, Checkbook Control IRA, etc., this is a special type of IRA account that essentially came out of the court case Swanson v. Commissioner, 106 T.C. 76 (1996). The interesting bit here in these cases is that Mr. Swanson caused his IRAs to form and own two companies. He made himself director of these companies, and then directed the custodian of his IRAs to purchase all of the original issue stock in the companies he created. This left his IRA accounts holding all of the shares in his companies, letting him retain full control of the companies he created. This also injected his companies with all the cash in his IRA accounts. Remember, those companies sold stock to his IRA accounts, so it makes sense that the companies that sold stock should receive money for it, right? This was all upheld as being legal by the courts. The only part the courts didn't like was that one of the companies was basically intermingling funds with a property sale that Mr. Swanson was
