You should check out Overwatch, which I consider to be TF3. They reimplemented many characters 1:1 including soldier (pharah), medic (mercy), demo (junkrat), engi (torj), as well as the 2 point capture and pushthecart modes.

Valorant, a beta game from Riot, is then a blend of overwatch + csgo, making it closer to tf2 6s.

>"The above analysis is trivially simple. Just data preprocessing simple correlations and filtering, using the most high-level overview the data allows for regarding food intake and health. The possible effect of different foods on longevity. No massaging of the data, no exposure to birthday paradox spuriousness, no statistical tricks, questionable adjustments for, etc"

There is also no controlling for anything! It seems a no-brainer that higher "Saturated Fat" and "Animal Protein" intakes correlate with higher income/access to modern health care infrastructure. Which means the author is really measuring an underlying latent "prosperity" variable. The author almost groks it with:

>"The correlations speak for themselves, the top X correlations for longevity are relatively strongly correlated amongst themselves. It is likely that multiple of these columns are indeed major contributors to longevity, yet given the inter-food correlations, it is quite impossible to isolate these from the variables that are just along for the ride."

Once the author controls for the prosperity that is the causal for all the correlated "dependent" variables, it might turn out that a Vegan diet is better than a non-Vegan diet. Or it might not. But this piece adds no value to the conversation, IMHO.

*As lspears points out, even worse is the wrong endpoint. Prob of making it to 80 != lower chance of death from Western diseases (heart attack/cancer).

I'll pile on if that's alright.

Do (did?) you work for bloomberg? Very similar to their old online style - I like it!

Its a decent assumption at this stage in the VC cycle, especially when an established player (doordash v postmates) has a surprising multiple - Uber is a great example: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-11-16/softbank-...

These are the newly considered coins. If you look at the "full list" at the bottom of the post you will see XLM (and ADA) are shown.

The star of my favorite "mystery illness" article:

“Polio outbreak. Memba District. 38 cases. Reflexes increased.”

You have a skewed perspective of what HFT is - Flash Boys probably contributed to this. That is a sensationalist novel and widely derided within the actual market making community. For example, fiber optic cables were outdated by microwave feeds several years before the book came out.

In fact, the most common form of HFT is low-latency market making, which directly increases liquidity and lowers spreads for market participants.

Anecdotally, I've noticed the onion uses certain phrases over and over again in articles - "area man" comes to mind.

Did you really train it to detect satire, or just the onion writer's conventions? How does it perform when trained on onion articles and tested against some non-onion satire publication?

Ripple is a great litmus test for people who are FOMO buying.

In this market, when the median top 200 coin under $0.1 went 100x [1], there are easier and "safer"[2] ways to generate returns.

It doesn't even do its job the best. Stellar Lumens (xlm) is a fork and doesn't have the centralized aspect or the 60% supply overhang. Raiblocks (XRB) will eat its lunch in terms of tx speed/fees if the tech doesn't blow up first.
