TRIANGLE MASTERCLASS - a thread.

what's the simplest, most effective method of trading a market that trends as hard as cryptocurrencies?

trendlines.

one trendline on its own is strong, but when you put two together you quickly realize just how powerful this simple tool can be.

i've been using triangles for as long as i can remember.

it seems dumb, and almost counter-intuitive to approach such a complex game like trading with such a simple approach like shapes...but maybe when markets start acting stupid its okay to dumb down our approach.

look, not all triangles are the same.

anybody can draw some lines on a chart any way they'd like. sometimes, we let our bias affect our charts rather than the other way around.

i personally have done this more times than i can count.

you see...triangles (and analysis as a whole) is not necessarily intended to make trading easier as much as it is to make trading simple.

you want a fluid bias that can change easily, rather than one relying on 10 steps of conflicting confirmation before entering a new trade

trendlines enable us to maintain a fluid bias.

i mean, how much simpler can it be than "above this line bullish, below this line bearish" ? 😂

one trendline on its own can be enough to make a good trade, but when you put two together it can turn a good trade into a great one.

1. There's been a lot of news lately about people in the Autonomous Vehicle industry realizing the problem they're trying to solve is much trickier than they initially hoped.

I think there’s a good analogy in a similar technology: self-checkouts.

2. Self-checkouts have been around a while. Companies have been working on them since 1984, and they’ve been in stores around the country for nearly two decades. As you well know if you’ve used one, they also still kinda suck.

3. This is not for a lack of financial incentives! A company that could figure the technology out would be able to replace billions a year in labor. Even a marginal improvement on the tech would be incredibly valuable as current systems feature staggering losses to shoplifters

4. It’s not as if “scanning items at a checkout” is an especially daunting task. It’s considered unskilled labor. Teenagers do it.

5. Turns out that making an automated system that’s 95% as good as a human is relatively easy and one that’s 100% as good as a human is very hard. I think it’s becoming clear that autonomous vehicles are going to turn out like this

THREAD (WOW!)

1) If you want to watch a Coordinated Media Disinformation Campaign play out (just like the Trump-Russia Collision Hoax), there's one playing out right now in real

2) @TWPundit Exclusively Reported 10/13

"expect to see multiple...stories related to Turkey which will...be tied together by a massive “bombshell” piece in the @nytimes ...near election day in a well-coordinated smear campaign"
Yep, the piece just

3) The Turkey Disinformation Campaign is following the exact same playbook as the 2016 Trump-Russia Collision Hoax, and with all the same

4) In 2016, there were 3 separate stories related to Russia’s connection to @realDonaldTrump that dropped on Oct 31st.

Article #1 from Soros-funded @MotherJones by @DavidCornDC about @carterwpage alleging he was a secret Russian operative. Fake

5) Article #2 from @FinancialTimes about @SergeiMillian and his connection to Trump Tower projects

~8yrs ago (Dec’12) I got a job @Google. Those were still early days of cloud. I joined GCP @<150M ARR & left @~4B (excld GSuite). Learned from some of the smartest ppl in tech. But we also got a LOT wrong that took yrs to fix. Much of it now public, but here’s my ring-side view👇

By 2008, Google had everything going for it w.r.t. Cloud and we should’ve been the market leaders, but we were either too early to market or too late. What did we do wrong? (1) bad timing (2) worse productization & (3) worst GTM.

We were 1st to “containers” (lxc) & container management (Borg) - since '03/04. But Docker took LXC, added cluster management, & launched 1st. Mesosphere launched DCOS. A lot of chairs were thrown around re: google losing this early battle, though K8 won the war, eventually 👏

We were 1st to “serverless” (AppEngine). GAE was our beachhead -- it was the biggest revenue source early on but the world wasn’t ready for serverless primitives. We also didn’t build auxiliary products fast enough. Clients that outgrew GAE wanted “building block” IaaS offerings.

1st to hadoop (map-reduce ‘04) but our hosted Hadoop launched in ‘15. AWS EMR was ~200M ARR by then. 1st to cloud storage (GFS ’03), but didn’t offer a filestore till ‘18! Customers were asking for it since 2014. Didn’t launch archival storage or direct interconnect till v. late.

Why To Avoid Western Style Birthday Celebrations ?

We all agree that Birthday is a very special and auspicious day for all of us.

If it is so special then why do we celebrate it in inauspicious way?
@Anshulspiritual @mysql_sync
@Vedicphilosophy

👇👇

Birthdays celebrated as per tithi (a lunar day) are very pious, because we receive a lot of Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) on this day. This Chaitanya should be utilized to the fullest.
@nsbchd @khanna248 @nehasaini0204

👇👇

Let us understand few things which can be avoided during birthday celebrations & receive maximum blessings from Bhagawan:-

1. Never wish or celebrate birthdays at midnight, instead this should be done after sunrise. @Poornimachouha8 @Vaidyvoice

👇👇

Please understand that as per Hindu Culture a day starts from sunrise and not from midnight. During midnight the Tamas and Rajas particles (negative particles) are highly predominant in the atmosphere and also there is lots of..
@SuvarnBharat @vijayashreenair

👇👇

negative energy is present in the atmosphere during midnight. So doing any auspicious celebrations/giving greetings during such time doesn't give good results to the individual.On the other hand the time after sunrise is considered as the time of spiritual practice..+

According to Adhi Parva in Mahabharata, Guru Dronacharya (Drona means pot, Acharya means Scholar) was not born in a womb of a woman but he was born in a Drona, a pot made up of sand when Rishi Bhardwaj stored his semen in a pot and kept it in his ashram. After a while,

Dronacharya was born. That's why Drona has no mother in Mahabharat. This can be considered as a reference to a similar technique like the use of cloning, test-tube, or artificial womb used today in the modern world. Similarly, the test-tube technique can be stated on the birth

of Kauravas. Rishi Dwaipayan(Ved Vyasa) gave a boon to Gandhari that she would be blessed with 100 sons equal in might to her lord and accomplishments. Gandhari's pregnancy went on for two years without any sign of delivery. Hearing of the birth of five divine-looking sons of

Kunti, Gandhari became furious with her condition and hit her abdomen hard. Soon after, she delivered not even one son, but a hard lump of mass which horrified everyone. Gandhari went to Dwaipayana and complained about the lump of mass, and doubted the rishi's boon, to which

Dwaipayana affirmed he had never spoken a lie even in jest. He then asked Gandhari to cut the lump of mass into 100 pieces and place it in 100 different pots filled with clarified butter and wait. On Gandhari's request of a daughter, the pieces were cut into 101.

Vaikom Ashtami : Today

Vaikathashtami is celebrated at Vaikom Mahadeva temple of Kottayam, Kerala, which is observed on Ashtami of Malayalam month of Vrishchikam. It is on this day Paramashiva along with Parvati Devi gave Darshan to Vyagarapada Muni.
@LostTemple7

This place was called as Vyagrapadapuram which later came to known as Vaikom. Muruga ( Udayanapuram) who came after destroying Tarakasura is welcomed by Paramashiva (Vaikathappan) here. Vaikathappan is not offered any special poojas or Neivedyam on this day as it is said that

Paramashiva observes vratham for his Son's ( Muruga) Victory. He waits for his Son's arrival after victory. Later, Muruga from Udayanapuram
Temple arrive after defeating Tarakasura. Paramashiva welcomes his son in a grand manner.

Later after all rituals Udayanapurathappan returns which is very emotional. Vaikathashtami is 13day function in which 12th day is Ashtami.

Om Namah Shivaye

A Conspiracy Thread: The Sentient World Simulation

In 2007, the Department of Defense worked with researchers at Purdue University to create SEAS, or the Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations. SEAS uses data from the internet to create realistically detailed models of the world which are used to predict the future.

We’re told SEAS is now capable of running real-time simulations of up to 62 nations and that it’s been used by Fortune 500 companies for strategic planning, or in other words, manipulating the market. Nevertheless, there are plans to turn SEAS into something even more advanced.

Developers say their goal is to turn SEAS into a Sentient World Simulation, or a “continuously running, continually updated mirror model of the real world.” However, some conspiracy theorists claim the SWS is already live and running inside a network of quantum computers.

Researchers like Seth Lloyd have suggested that the entire universe could be simulated inside a quantum computer. According to Geordie Rose, the co-founder of D-Wave Systems, a company that creates these machines, they can even tap into parallel worlds and other dimensions.

If an employer is willing to be abusive to you prior to hiring you, when you have maximum leverage and they are maximally incentivized to play nice, I think that gives you *extremely actionable* signal as to how they'll treat you when you're working there and dependent on them.

For candidates: evaluate prospective employers accordingly.

For startups employing e.g. engineers: given that your candidates should evaluate you accordingly, be *extra special* careful to operate like professionals with regards to e.g. interviewing, offers, and negotiation.

"Can you be more explicit about 'abusive' here?"

Not without violating a confidence, but as someone who has been on hiring side of table and is a capitalist, there are *clearly* things you could do which would be "sharp operating, but we're all sharp operators" in some contexts.

Hiring employees is often not one of those contexts. The nature of the relationship, the asymmetry in power, and the social contract strongly counsel you to be a lot better there than you are minimally required by law / contract.

A thing which aesthetically frustrates me is that a lot of the things I've heard companies do here serve *no legitimate business purpose.* In some cases it's getting tens of dollars of advantage. TENS! On an engineering candidate!

STORY OF DEVI KANNAGI

Kannagi is worshipped as Devi in many areas. She is the epitome of chastity. In Kerela, she is worshipped as Bhadrakali and Attukal Devi.
For Sinhalese Buddhists of Sri Lanka, she is Devi Pattini and Kannaki Amman for the Sri Lankan Tamil Hindus.

Kannagi was the wife of Kovalan, a merchant from Kaveripattinam. He left Kannagi for a dancer Madhavi and spent all his wealth on her. Kovalan, later, returned to Kannagi when he was penniless. The only asset left was a pair of anklets filled with rubies.
@GampaSD @RajeAiyer

Both went to Madurai which was ruled by Pandyan Nedunj Cheliyan 1. Kovalan wanted to sell the anklets and restart his life. However, around the time he set out to sell the anklets, one anklet (out of a pair) was stolen from the queen by someone and it resembled Kannagi’s anklet.

Kovalan was caught and beheaded without any trial. Furious Kannagi reached the court and broke open the anklet to prove Kovalan’s innocence. She flung her anklet and cursed that the entire city would burn. The entire city caught fire and her curse became a reality
@DubeyYash1911

After this, Kannagi on her way to Kodungalloor in Kerala, gave "Darsan" to the natives at Attukal in Thiruvananthapuram. It is said that the Devi finally reached Kodungalloor and settled at Kodungalloor Devi Mandir.

Kannagi is also the main character of the epic Silapathikaram.

Count Giancarlo Cicogna was a member of the Ciga hotels clan. He was with Ghislaine Maxwell for 4 years. He was 'the man who moulded the Ghislaine we now see. He told her where to get her hair cut, and what to wear.'

There is a very Ghislaine like character named Madam Anais in the movie La Belle De Jour who runs a Brothel. The film was produced by Marina Cicogna.

Private View of 'Once Upon Time' an Exhibition of Photographs by Marina Cicogna Sponsored by Fiat at the Little Black Gallery,

My view Marina Cicogna looks like Dottie in the Disney Channel series WandaVision.

NY Times covered a story of Countess Marina Cicogna, a woman with a very intetesting life. I am sure she knows many secrets and that gives her power over people of influence.

JAGANNATH PRABHU AND BANDHU MOHANTY

In Jajpur (Odisha) lived a great Bhakta of Jagannath Prabhu. His name was Bandhu Mohanti.
Bandhu was very poor but always reassured his wife that he had a great friend who would take care of them.
@Shawshanko

Once, Bandhu had to face extreme hardships. His wife asked him to go to his rich friend. She did not know that Bandhu saw Jagannath Prabhu as his greatest friend.
Bandhu had no option left but to take his family to Puri. They reached Puri with great discomfort.
@SriRamya21

As it was night, Bandhu told his wife that it was not right to go to someone’s house at that hour.
So they stayed on the pavement. While Bandhu was asleep, a beautiful, dark man came to his wife with lots of food on a gold tray and disappeared.

When Bandhu came to know this, he was ecstatic with joy.
However, in the morning aarti, a gold tray was found missing in Puri Mandir. It was found with Bandhu and he was put in prison.
Same night, the King had a dream in which Jagannath Prabhu asked him to release Bandhu.

Prabhu asked the King to take care of Bandhu.
The King released him and gave him the service of Prabhu as a cook in the Mandir.
Even now, descendents of Bandhu Mohanty are the main cooks in the Mandir kitchen and daily offer food to Jagannath on a golden Tray.

Jai Jagannath🙏🏻

A few words on the passing of William Goldman: In addition to being a legendary screenwriter, he was a friend and mentor to so many other writers, offering guidance and support, directly influencing hundreds of films beyond his own work...

In 2009 a few of us organized an outdoor screening to commentate the 40th anniversary of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” at the Tribeca Film Festival. Writers such as Tony Gilroy, Aaron Sorkin, David Koepp & Scott Frank each spoke to praise Bill...

As each discussed how Bill had been instrumental in inspiring, teaching and supporting them, it really sank in as to what an extraordinary impact this man has had on the landscape of cinema...

Also at that screening we’re 5,000 people who had come to watch one of their favorite movies on a chilly April night by the Hudson River. Bill touched millions that never got the chance to know him personally, but got to know his films like close, enduring friends...

There are few screenwriter who have made the impact William Goldman has - on the form, on the culture, and on fellow writers. He is a world treasure. And though he is no longer with us, his films will be with us as long as people still have a love for cinema...

Aathi Kumbeshwara swamy #Temple - Mahadev Shiva is the main deity here. Aathi is primordial origin implies ancient. The Kumbeswarar is in Shiva Linga form which is a formless form - called aaru (formless)+uru (form)=aaruuru. @LostTemple7

The shape of lingam is of very special significance its in conical shaped lingam, This is unique in the world. The #Sattology derives the meaning of the shape & the name. The city name #Kumbakonam itself derived from the name of Mahadev - Kumba @Itishree001 @almightykarthik

& the slight angle of the Linga, hence the name "#Kumbakonam".
It is one of the 127 temples on the southern banks of river #Cauvery. It's mentioned as, 'Thirukkudamooku' in 'Thevaram',at present its called #Kumbakonam. It is a prime #Temple @Elf_of_Shiva_ @hathyogi31 @RajeAiyer

amidst many temples in #kumbakonam. The presiding Murti is 'Adhikumbheswara' & His consort is 'Mangalambika'. It is also one of the 64 saktibheta sthala.
The presiding deity is revered in the 7th century Tamil Shaiva canonical work, the Tevaram, @KanchiMatham

written by Tamil sage poets known as the #Nayanmars & classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. The temple complex covers an area of 30,181 sq ft & houses four Gopurams. The tallest is the Eastern Gopuram, with 11 stories & a height of 128 feet. The temple is approached @Jayalko1

The Finger Names in ‘Sanskrit’ are, Thumb is called ‘Angushtha’, Pointing finger is called ‘Tarjani’, Middle finger is ‘Madhyama’, Ring finger is ‘Anamika’ and the Smallest finger is called ‘Kanishtika’.

Mudras are hand gestures used in yoga and meditation, which mean ‘mark’ or ‘seal’ in Sanskrit. In the Mudra philosophy, it is believed that our 5 fingers correspond to the 5 elements of the universe -

Thumb - fire, Index finger Varuna (Air) Middle finger- Akasha (Space), Ring finger - Prithvi (Earth), Little Finger -Jal(Water).

Practitioners believe that when the finger representing a particular element is brought into contact with the thumb, that element is brought into

balance, creating a stabilizing effect on the entire body. Mudras start electromagnetic currents in the body, create balance and promote health. Regular practice of these mudras can help create a balance between these five elements in the body.
