I've used models and tried to find exploitable edge from historical price data as in intention to do some automated trading. Edges that survives end-to-end fees are not that common and even if you find one, it might not beat holding Bitcoin for example. I could still find some opportunities but those were rare occasions, like 3-5 trades per year. I doubt that models could do better without guidance, not that I have that much expertise in these areas.

I did not dig that deep into prediction markets or sports betting, perhaps those would have more exploitable statistical angles.

I'm now building research archive from stock equities. I collected all publicly traded companies and what they have published, like: annual financials, interim financials, guidance information, corporate actions, prices. I have that data indexed in a database and I can do deep research on that easily. I asked a couple of models to find companies with best risk-reward for the end of the next quarter. The test has just started so can't say for sure how far just basic fundamental analysis gets me.

I could not find an easy way to make a profit so I'm doubtful that model on its own could very easily do it. Perhaps there are some ways though, like Silk Road was all online, so perhpas, theoretically, with abliterated model and little engouragement, it could rent VPS and hide that behind VPN port redirection and serve onion service for drug market. I don't think it's likely to happen but maybe not entirely impossible.

This might not be exactly what you meant or wanted, but I use OpenSnitch, which alerts me about all new connections. I also use temporary disposable virtual machines in QubesOS to isolate those kinds of activities from my more vulnerable systems.

I'm having lots of problems with fingerprinting protection on Librewolf and ungoogled-chromium. I use uBlock Origin and JShelter extensions on both. I'm always getting "your browser is out of date" despite always having the most newest versions.

Some sites like Stackexchange will work after just reloading the page. And rest of the sites usually work when I remove Javascript protection and Fingerprint detection from JShelter. Sill not all of them. So, they maybe/probably want to reliably fingerprint my browser to let me continue.

If I use crappy fingerprint protection, I'm not having problems but if I actually randomize some values then sites wont work. JShelter deterministicly randomizes some values using session identifier and eTLD+1 domain as a key to avoid breaking site functionality but apparently Cloudflare is beeing really picky. Tor browser is not having these problems but it uses different strategy to protect itself from fingerprinting and doesn't randomize values but tries to have unified values across different users making identification impossible.

I would expect large majority to have a decent fixed price data packages. However there are people that have slow speeds and/or expensive metered data plans, so I wouldn't get too frisky. Overall bandwidth is usually the bottleneck, so yes.

In practice, it kind of is. Because of the caching. This mechanism also adapts to possible future changes. Today jQuery is popular, tomorrow it might be something else.

How else are they going to track everyone?

Jolla has quit doing mobile devices. Market was too fast evolving for a small company. They are purely in OS business now. Supported hardware coverage is not too wide yet though.

When I'm tired and/or lazy I seem to lack a ability to accept the truth. I seek for easy solution instead of actually doing what I already know I supposed to do. Luckily nowadays I am able to recognize this and call it a day.

Metabolism gets used to aerobic exercise quickly so it is not good for loosing fat. High intensity training (HIT) burns more fat overall.

Timing on carbohydrates is important also. Eat them when you need them like around exercise, before work or in the morning. After your glucose storage is full extra energy will be stored as fat.

How well fat will burn depends mostly how good shape your metabolism is. If your metabolism is slow when you start dieting it will only get slower and you really have to starve yourself to lose weight.

Slowly increasing carbohydrates when not loosing weight and exercise is good way to speed up your metabolism so you are able to loose that fat after you gain some.

Cardio exercises are last resort at the end of the diet when your metabolism is really slow and you want to eat something.

So while eat less than you use is good starting point to loose weight. You can make it so much easier to your self with exercise and proper food.

Is there some indication that this could happen?

Microsoft has track record by not making smart choices.
