I responded to one of their sales emails saying that I liked their service because it was free, and I wasn't interested in paying for their advice. Haven't heard from them since, but have been using the free service for years.

The "Invisible Deck" is a very famous trick. It can be purchased[1] for about $10 and just about anyone can master it in about 10 minutes. With the standard method, you don't need to memorize the deck or flip the card. [1] h

I think the bull case may be more about their future sources of revenue. If crypto succeeds, exchanging it with fiat may end up being only a relatively small amount of the economic activity. Traditional brokers are not likely to be able to

This sounds like a case of blaming the user for poor UX design. If the users that the system is designed for are constantly making the same "basic mistakes", then the system isn't designed well for them.

It took me 4 tries to beat it, and I have a rating of 1300 on lichess.org and 1100 on chess.com. In an effort to guestimate its strength a little more accurately, I had it play the first 4 levels of bots on lichess.org. It comfortably beat

Not a single wafer, but the sensor built for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is a ~64x64cm 3.2-gigapixel CCD, made of 189 4x4cm chips on the same sensor bed[0]. I suspect the cost was in the millions of dollars for the one-of-a-kind sen

Sure it's not without cost, but in most cases the cost is not very high. Remember you don't need to throw away the whole frame, only the pixels that were obstructed. One track across a frame will obstruct less than 1% of the data

Well reports are that the Medallion Fund is capped at $10B with a 66% annual return before fees and a 39% annual return after fees, so the other funds would need to underperform by an average of at least $3.9B per year. If we include the fe

Thanks, I didn't know that. Do you know if there were any other funds by him at the time? I could also create a dozen funds that do randomly different things and just close the ones that didn't do well to get me started.
