✅ Consistency before virality:
130 posts failed, not didn’t perform well actually failed getting mostly around 1000 views until 131st post hit 1.1 million views and got me more than 7000 followers.
Most people quit before they hit 20 posts as per a study of creators.

✅ Momentum is real:
After that viral post, something shifted, every reel started hitting 20k+ views and 30-40 new followers per post became normal.
The algorithm doesn’t reward one good post, it rewards the proof you can do it again.

Pourquoi écrêter systématiquement ses gagnants est un non-sens boursier ?
L'idée paraît prudente, presque sage : dès qu'une ligne affiche +20%, +30% ou +50%, on encaisse tout ou partie de la plus-value, et l'on conserve le reste du portefeuille tel quel.
En pratique, cette règle séduit parce qu'elle donne une impression de discipline, de contrôle et de matérialisation du gain.
Pourtant, d'un point de vue financier, statistique et académique, cette mécanique est profondément contestable.

Elle revient le plus souvent à vendre ses meilleurs actifs trop tôt, à conserver trop longtemps des positions médiocres, et donc à affaiblir exactement ce qui fait la performance de long terme en Bourse : la captation des très gros gagnants. La littérature ne permet pas de dire qu’une telle règle condamne mécaniquement chaque investisseur à sous-performer chaque année. En revanche, elle montre clairement qu'écrêter arbitrairement les gagnants tout en ne touchant pas au reste réduit l'espérance de performance à long terme et rend plus difficile la surperformance face à un benchmark.
La première raison tient à la nature profondément asymétrique des rendements boursiers. Sur une action, la perte maximale est bornée : dans le pire des cas, un investisseur peut perdre 100% de sa mise si l'entreprise fait faillite. En revanche, le gain potentiel n'a pas de plafond théorique : une ligne peut faire +100%, +500%, +2 000% ou davantage.
You saw a perfect Nifty trade... and decided how many lots to buy in 5 seconds.
That decision matters more than the trade itself.
Kelly Criterion fixes this. 🧵

Imagine you’re trading Nifty setups and backtesting shows:
• Win rate = 50%
• Risk:Reward = 1:2
So for every ₹1 risked, you make ₹2 when right.
Now the real question: how much should you bet per trade?
• Win rate = 50%
• Risk:Reward = 1:2
So for every ₹1 risked, you make ₹2 when right.
Now the real question: how much should you bet per trade?
Kelly Formula: f = (p × b − q) / b
Where:
• p = win probability
• q = loss probability
• b = reward-to-risk

En liga der for 20 år siden forstod man ikke kunne konkurrere på penge imod PL og derfor fokuserede på talenter og global markedsføring, og i anden omgang implementerede økonomiske regler, der via CvC tvang klubberne i at fokusere på infrastruktur bredt.
Det var der lige for snuden. Up for grabs i maj 2020.

Here are 7 more things I've learned about going viral as a solo dev:
1. Think like a streamer, not a developer.
Developers think about features, mechanics, and devlogs. Streamers think about reactions, funny moments and what makes someone share a video with a friend.
No one cares about your game. They care about how it makes them feel.

2. Consistency is overrated. Hits matter.
Every guru says "post 3 times a day." I post when I have something genuinely good. One viral hit will do more for you than 100 mediocre posts. Quality compounds. Quantity just exhausts you.

With less than 24 hours left until Hungarians head to the polls, I figured it is a good moment to take one final look at what Viktor Orbán has achieved in his 16 years of uninterrupted, near absolute reign in Hungary, by comparing Hungary’s performance with that of Romania.🧵
In 2010, just as Orban started his second reign, the country stood as the 53rd least corrupt country in the world, while Romania was ranked as 75th.
In 2026, after nearly 16 years of Viktor Orban, Hungary succeeded in being ranked as significantly more corrupt than Romania.
In 2026, after nearly 16 years of Viktor Orban, Hungary succeeded in being ranked as significantly more corrupt than Romania.
Pre-Orban Hungary could at the very least pride itself in having a minimum wage about twice that of Romania, even more, at various points in time.
In 2026, thanks to Viktor Orban's sovereign economic genius, the average wage in Hungary and Romania stands about equal.

לפני כמה זמן נתקלתי בפוסט של @ElbazYonatan על אל-חסן אבן אל-היית׳ם, שהזכיר לי בעיה מעניינת שהוא פתר. שכחתי מזה. היום שאלה בגאומטריה של הבן שלי הזכירה לי את זה שוב, אז הנה שרשור קצר על ה״סהרונים של אל-חסן״.
מתחילים פשוט: מסרטטים משולש ישר זווית כלשהו, וחוסמים אותו בתוך מעגל👇
מתחילים פשוט: מסרטטים משולש ישר זווית כלשהו, וחוסמים אותו בתוך מעגל👇
על שני הניצבים של המשולש, בונים חצי מעגל, כך שכל ניצב הוא הקוטר בחצי המעגל המתאים.
בשטח של חצי המעגלים הללו, שבולט מחוץ למעגל המעגל הגדול, קיבלנו שני סהרונים (צבועים בוורד).
השאלה היא, למה שווה השטח הכולל שלהם?
אז הכי קשה, זה למצוא את התשובה. מי שרוצה להתחיל עם זה, מוזמן. זה באמת רמה של תותחי על חלל. בשלב הבא זה יותר קל>>

1/ The removal/reassignment of Dr Fulton Mangwanya as CIO Director General this week has fascinated me.
Full disclosure: I have a long-standing obsession with intelligence, security & the hidden architecture of state power.
So let's talk about ALL the CIO DGs since independence.

2/ First, what is the CIO?
Zimbabwe's civilian intelligence agency. Internal security. Counterintelligence. Political intelligence. Executive protection.
It reports directly to President. Not Parliament. Not Cabinet. President alone. DG is his most intimate institutional weapon.

Then kept his job when RGM came to power in 1980.

El 11 de abril de 1870 era asesinado el general Justo José de Urquiza en el Palacio San José ubicado a 30km de Concepción del Uruguay, en Entre Ríos. Héroe de Caseros y gran impulsor de la Organización Nacional mediante su apoyo a la sanción de la Constitución Nacional de 1853, Urquiza fue el primer presidente constitucional de la Argentina entre 1854 y 1860 y gobernador de la provincia de Entre Ríos en varías oportunidades.
Urquiza nació en la Estancia El Talar de Arroyo Largo, propiedad de su padre, el vasco José Narciso de Urquiza Álzaga, en el actual departamento de Uruguay, en Entre Ríos. Su madre era la porteña María Cándida García González, hija del marino sevillano Juan Antonio García Abrego y de María Gervasia González Monzón, descendiente de los primeros pobladores ibéricos del Río de la Plata.
Sus padres se dedicaron a la actividad rural y a la función pública, siendo fieles al Reino de España incluso después de la Revolución de Mayo en 1810, por lo cual emigraron a la Banda Oriental. La familia Urquiza regresó a Entre Ríos en 1812 y cinco años más tarde, el joven Justo José fue enviado al Colegio de San Carlos en Buenos Aires, tras lo cual se estableció en Concepción del Uruguay, dedicándose con éxito a actividades rurales y comerciales, para la cual demostró una enorme capacidad. Su hermano mayor, Cipriano de Urquiza, fue secretario y luego ministro del caudillo entrerriano, Francisco Ramírez.

Su hermano mayor, Cipriano de Urquiza, fue secretario y luego ministro del caudillo entrerriano, Francisco Ramírez.
Con una fortuna consolidada en la década de 1820, Urquiza incursionó en la política durante un período tumultuoso en la historia Entre Ríos, alineándose con el Partido Federal. Su participación se intensificó, y en 1826 fue elegido diputado en el congreso provincial, oponiéndose a la Constitución de 1826. A partir de 1828, asumió el cargo de comandante militar y civil de Concepción del Uruguay. Urquiza apoyo a figuras como Juan Lavalle y Ricardo López Jordán (h) en 1830. Sin embargo, tras el fracaso de estas incursiones, apoyó otra en 1831 que, al fracasar también, lo obligó a refugiarse en Santa Fe bajo la protección de Estanislao López. Más tarde, acompañó a Pascual Echagüe en una campaña militar que llevó a Echagüe a la gobernación de Entre Ríos, estableciendo un período de paz bajo la influencia de Juan Manuel de Rosas.
Creo que a todos les súper encantó el revival de Malcolm, menos a mí

Partiendo de que no me gustó la premisa de que Malcolm escondiera a su hija por tantos años.
Esperaba una especie de avance, tal vez no ocultarla pero simplemente no querer relacionarse con la familia. Así se sintió como la traición de que Francis se emancipara.

A ver sí, estuvo muy bonita la nostalgia de ver a la mayoría de regreso.
La calidad de los actores es impecable, aún tienen esa química entre ellos, y los personajes, en especial Reese, Francis y Lois, conservan la misma esencia de la serie original.
