Just received my ExFi airdrop today but received considerably less than expected. Initially the ratio was 235:1 then it was changed to 309:1 and now 393:1. Not complaining because it's free but would like to hear if anyone knows why they reduced the distribution ratio.

Hello,

The next snapshot is rapidly approaching. What do you think will happen? I bet on a 2.3 ratio and I hope we'll get news about the future of moons again!

Remember to open your vaults and to be ready for November distribution!

I also hope we'll get news about use cases ! I really hope moons will have more use in the future !

What are your bets on the ratio ? On the gov polls?

Are you surprised the Snapshot is that soon ? If yes, it is because the Snapshot uses the Lunar calendar and lunar months are shorter !

As I was learning more about conducting F tests in R, I realized an assumption made running this test is that the two data sets must follow a normal distribution. However, when I looked up the F distribution online, it shows that it is positive/right skewed. Assuming the two data sets analyzed do have equal variances, would the test statistic follow a normal or skewed distribution?

Thank you, I am just conceptually stuck as to how this can be!

I hope you are all satisfied with the results of your snapshot. Here's how I came up with this ratio of 0.1885 Total moon to be distributed: 1,667,300.7 Total karma gain by all the users: 8,847,200 ( this includes the 20% bonus for those who Hodl their moons and 5% for those who voted in governance polls)

Hence, Total Karma gained devided by the Total moon to distribute gives us the moon karma ratio

1,667,300.7moon/8,847,200karma=0.18845518356

If you wanna calculate the total amount of moons you'll receive, just multiply your total karma by 0.1885.

I hope this was helpful.

Suggested idea for distribution

TL;DR: Equation based on average karma per post. The more karma you get on the majority of your posts, the better. You don't need to be posting 24/7 anymore to get a good distribution. Quantity counts for only 20% of the equation.

The bigger the proportion of your posts get high karma, the better your distribution.

Meaning, someone who doesn't post every single day, but has strong karma ratio for most of their posts and comments, will be getting a bigger distribution, than someone who posts 30 times a day with low karma ratio for most of their content.

But I do have a portion of the system that still partially rewards quantity, and a minimum of posting.

So you'll still want to post regularly and more than 25 times a month, to get the maximum benefit.

The complete formula

I will explain how it works and how I came up with all the numbers, but here it is:

if total posts and/or comments >25, then:

(([total karma*80%]/total number of posts and comments)*4) + (([total karma*80%]/5) )= Final karma

if total posts and/or comments = or <25, then:

[([total karma*80%]/total number of posts and comments0*4) 80%) + (([total karma*20%]/5)] * [1/(26/ total number of comments and posts)] = Final karma

Example1: 15,000 karma with 115 comments and posts. Final ratio= 1,017.39

Example 2: 15,000 karma with 1,500 comments and posts. Final ratio= 632.00

Example 3: 10,000 karma with 64 comments and posts. Final ratio= 900.00

Example 4: 10,000 karma with 250 comments and posts. Final ratio= 528.00

Example 5: 2,000 karma with 48 comments and posts. Final ratio= 213.33

Example 6: 2,000 karma with 150 comments and posts. Final ratio = 122.66

Example 7: 100 karma with 26 comments and posts. Final ratio= 16.3

Example 8: 100 karma with 5 comments and posts. Final ratio= 12.92 (under 25 posts the ratio becomes increasingly lower. See reason below).

Here's what it all means, and how I came up with all these numbers:

The first half of the mechanism:

Part of the calculation will have the total karma divided by posts. Your average karma strength.

Example 1: If you earned 1,380 karma for only 43 posts, you have an average karma strength of 32 for your distribution.

Example 2: If you earned 1,380 karma for 221 posts, you have an average karma of 6.2 for your distribution.

In those specific cases the moon ratio will be of course far higher, something like 45:1 for instance, but still fr

Daily has huge effect on moons ratio and we all know this. Daily keeps getting around 35-50k comments for the last week. If this continues like that, next moons ratio will be below 0.2. My guess is 0.15

I have never been a part of a situation like this. My interpretation of the presentation is that TYDE shares will be given to BBIG investors on a 1:1 scale which means that we get 1 share of TYDE for every BBIG share that we own before Oct. 15th. If the valuation is decent then it's basically free money right...? It seems like I am missing something very obvious. Anyone have a good explanation for this?

What is the Karma/Donut distribution ratio. I earned 388 karma and earned 327 Donuts last distribution. I assume this is the correct ratio but I'm not entirely sure.

I tried a single tree playthrough and it wasn't good having no stamina and I could not find a forge recipe for 8 hours and I was walking everywhere.

Use your preferred world difficulty settings, this is meant to get you out of a rut and step things up slightly, but not punish you.

I decided to use a die (yes you pedants my title is using the plural incorrectly but deal with it) which I had on my desk to give me a small chance to spread some skill points around. I experimented with different ratios, 5:1 points in the primary tree for every 1 wildcard point was still too tedious, so I settled on a 4:1 ratio.

I've settled on this after about 16 hours of playtesting.

Rules:

1: Pick a primary skill tree, you can roll the dice for it or pick one. 4 out of every 5 points will be spent in this tree.

2: every skill point, just before you apply it roll the dice: 1 = wildcard point you can put anywhere to get that sweet bicycle or a little bit of health regen, 2345 = spend in primary skill tree. 6 = roll it again (or if you want to try 5:1 ratio spend it in your primary tree).

3: You are allowed to use everything you find, but you can't buy off-skill weapons. No buying a shotgun for horde night unless you're in the shotgun tree. No buying an $800 AK47 on day 2 if you're a perception character. I'm undecided on buying skill books from the trader, choosing not to just forces grind really.

Day 20 edit: Stick with the 1:5 ratio. 1:4 is too generous.

As per the title, it was 0.51 last time. Maybe 0.3-0.4 this time? I'm not sure the number of new subscribers has continued to grow as quickly as it did in January and Feb. As the number of moon holders grows I wonder if will be necessary to develop new features for using moons other than buying premium (which currently isn't a very effective utilization given the price of a moon).

So I am happy to get the moons in this round and anything is better than nothing. Just asking to clarify the ratio, it was 0.88 as per the distribution post. What I got is around at 0.45 ratio, can someone please explain? Am I missing something?

Donut distribution is currently calculated based on post karma (42.75% or 1.72m $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), comment karma (42.75% or 1.72m $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), shared between mods (4.5% or 180k $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), and staking as a Uniswap v2 DONUT/ETH LP (10% or 400k $DONUT/month).

This poll is to adjust the weighting for post vs comment karma from the current even split to 25/75 (post/comment). If adopted post karma would reduce to 21.375%, or 855k of total distributed $DONUT & $CONTRIB, and comment karma would increase to 64.125%, or 2.565m of total distributed $DONUT & $CONTRIB.

We finally got confirmation from the flare team you will receive 1.0073 FLR for every 1 XRP you held during the snapshot.

Houston Rockets exec Daryl Morey may be a polarizing figure, but he's unquestionably an important one in terms of basketball history. He's a revolutionary voice for modern, analytical, smart basketball.

One of the primary philosophies for Morey and the Rockets is to take "good shots." In terms of the percentages and the basic math, that tends to mean free throws and three pointers. Two pointers are far less efficient (in general), and have been discouraged by the team as much as possible.

If Daryl Morey is the epitome of the new school, then we can use Zoolander's manager Maury Ballstein as the epitome of "old school." Maury (RIP, Jerry Stiller) represented a simpler time, back when squeezing tushies and hanging with Billy Zane was still cool. Presumably, Maury Ballstein would be the type of cat who'd sit courtside at a Knicks game and grumble about how much better basketball used to be back in the days of post up shots and postgame cocaine parties.

So how do we determine which teams are "Morey Ball" and which teams are "Maury Ballstein"?

We'll use a simple formula, since I'm no Daryl Morey math major. We'll add up the "good shots" (FTA + 3PA) and divide it by "bad shots" (2PA.) No doubt, this is an oversimplification. Not all two-pointers are created equal; there's a huge difference between a Zion Williamson dunk and a Carmelo Anthony long two. But hey, if you want to dig deeper and go study the shot charts, feel free. The rest of us are ready to see these ratios.

MOREYBALL TEAMS

(1) Houston: 1.51

They're still miles ahead of the curve here. It's the perfect combination between organizational fanaticism and a superstar in James Harden who excels at this style of play.

(2) Dallas: 1.33

Going full "Morey" has worked out for them; they have the # 1 overall offense in the league.

(3) Minnesota: 1.25

This may be a surprising place for them, but remember that top exec Gersson Rosas came over from Houston, and has a believer at coach in 34-year-old Ryan Saunders.

(4) Miami: 1.21

Jimmy Butler has done a good job hammering his way to the line and helping this team rank top 5 in free throw attempts; that also opens the court up for their shooters to take advantage.

(5) Milwaukee: 1.19

If you thought Jimmy Butler's style of play helped Miami, apply that to Giannis and Milwaukee and multiply it by III.

(6) Brooklyn: 1.19

*(Former) coach Kenny Atkinson still pl

Now that the snap shot has been taken lets talk about the distribution ratio for XRP holders that will be allocated spark based on the snapshot.

Flare stated:

"100 Billion Spark tokens will be created to mirror the quantity of XRP that exists. There are approximately 45 Bn XRP tokens that do not belong to Ripple labs. The objective of the distribution is that XRP holders other than Ripple can claim approximately a 1:1 amount of Spark to their XRP holding. 45 Bn Spark will be claimable by XRP holders (stripping out known Ripple labs addresses). 25 Bn Spark will go to Flare Networks Limited which is Flare’s for-profit organization. 30 Bn Spark will go to the Flare foundation. "

45 billion Spark will be claimable by XRP holders.

The 55 billion belonging to Ripple i believe is both their escrowed and non escrowed holdings.

Of the 45 billion that potentially will be distributed the categories that I believe will not receive spark and therefore ADD to the ratio is:
-Ex Ripple employees(Jed McCaleb/ ??others??)

-Ripple employees (Brad Garlinghouse/Chris Larson/Arthur Britto/David Schwartz/??others??)

-Non participating Exchanges(??)

I would expect between Jed/ripple employees/non participating exchanges close to 20 billion will be reallocated. So the ratio will be closer to 1:2 xrp:spark

Once the 6 months window starting from the Flare network go live date any unclaimed Spark will be burnt. I expect at least 10-20% of XRP wallets will not claim. Consider just the 300million XRP belonging to late Mathew Mellon that is rumoured to be gone for good due to loss of keys. At a rate of 1:2 that alone is 600million Spark that will be burnt. There will be a bunch of other lost keys and a whole heap of people who hold and will not be aware of the drop, and no doubt there will be other holders that can not be bothered/leave it to late.

As always i may be way off on my thoughts so please let me know where i have gone wrong.

Problem 2: Remember Prof. Flutzinfurber? Despite the amused derision of the rest of his department, he still maintains he’s discovered a new fermion. To “prove” this to his colleagues he designs a thermodynamic system of the particles in equilibrium in which he can measure t he ratio of the number of the particles in a higher energy state to the number in lower energy state, 𝑛(𝐸2)/𝑛(𝐸1) , and has asked you to calculate what the result should be if the particles are fermions. Here are the full details of the system Prof Flutzinfurber has prepared:

The temperature of the system when the measurement is performed is 1250 K

•Particles in the system are in only one of two possible energy states 𝐸1=1.73 eV and 𝐸2=4.22 eV.

•If the particles are fermions, the ratio of the density of states at the two different energies is 𝑔(𝐸2)/𝑔(𝐸1)=4

•The normalization constant for the Fermi-Dirac distribution for the system is 𝐵fd=1.15×10−7

a. What do you predict the ratio 𝑛(𝐸2)/𝑛(𝐸1) to be if the particles are fermions?

b. The result of Prof. Flutzinfurber’s measurement is 𝑛(𝐸2)/𝑛(𝐸1)=13.7 . What are you going to tell Prof. Flutzinfurber about whether or not the evidence supports that the particles are fermions?

I have n(E2)/n(E1)=4 for part a, is this correct?

What would I say for part b?

Hello everyone,

I used a negative binomial model (glm.nb from MASS package) to predict (with a 95% confidence interval) the population of species "X" in 400 points. I also have data about the median number of species "Y" located in these 400 locations (with a 95% confidence interval). Now, how can I calculate the ratio of "X / Y" for these 400 points in a way that the result has also a 95% confidence interval? Any thoughts would be so appreciated.

Donut distribution is currently calculated based on post karma (42.75% or 1.72m $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), comment karma (42.75% or 1.72m $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), shared between mods (4.5% or 180k $DONUT & $CONTRIB per month), and staking as a Uniswap v2 DONUT/ETH LP (10% or 400k $DONUT/month).

This proposal is for a poll to adjust the weighting for post vs comment karma from the current even split to 25/75 (post/comment). If adopted post karma would reduce to 21.375%, or 855k of total distributed $DONUT & $CONTRIB, and comment karma would increase to 64.125%, or 2.565m of total distributed $DONUT & $CONTRIB.

The poll options will be:

"Yes, I support changing distribution based on post and comment karma from 42.75% each to 21.375% / 64.125% (post / comment)"

or

"No"

This governance poll proposal will remain up for at least 2 days and will be linked from a comment in the daily as per governance guidelines. Also per guidelines, 2 mods to need sign off that the poll is clear, actionable, and non-biased in presentation.
