A Netflix user will browse the app for 90 seconds and leave if they find nothing.

Thumbnail artwork is actually NFLX's most effective lever to influence a viewer's choice. A user will look at one for only 1.8 seconds, so NFLX spends huge to optimize them.

Here's a breakdown🧵

1/ Spoiler alert: humans are visual animals.

Our eyes move 3-4x per second to process information and we can analyze an image in as little as 13 milliseconds.

2/ In 2014, Netflix consumer research showed that thumbnail artwork:

◻️ is "the biggest influencer...to watch content"
◻️ is the focus of 82% of browsing time

A user looks at one for only 1.8 seconds. If they can't find Netflix content in 90 seconds, they'll leave the app.

3/ Consequently, Netflix uses an elaborate thumbnail selection process for each of its 200m+ users.

The process is called aestethic visual analysis (AVA), which starts by pulling all the frames from a video.

For reference: a 1hr episode of "Stranger Things" has 86k frames.

4/ In a process known as "Frame Annotation", each frame is tagged with metadata identifying key variables:

◻️ Saliency
◻️ Frame #
◻️ Brightness / Contrast
◻️ Nudity probability
◻️ Face / skin tone

Think crypto is confusing?

You're right.

Let's make it easier.

Here's Crypto Terminology 101: 🧵

Altcoin:

Any coin that's not #Bitcoin

Ether (#ETH) is the second most popular coin overall and the most well-known Altcoin.

Ether is the native cryptocurrency on the Ethereum blockchain.

There are thousands of other altcoins, but for now, this is the one to know.

Bitcoin: (#BTC)

The first decentralized digital currency.

Launched in 2009 by an unknown person or organization known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto."

It is the most famous, and most valuable cryptocurrency.

Blockchain:

The core tech behind Bitcoin and most other cryptocurrencies.

An open, distributed, general ledger where transactions are organized into blocks which are then connected using cryptography.

Coin:

A store of digital value that lives on a blockchain.

Some blockchains, such as Bitcoin, use the same name for both the network and the coin.

Stable coins are another type of cryptocurrency which are backed by fiat currency (e.g the US dollar) or commodities such as Gold.

कब तक नेहरू - गांधी की अंध पूजा ?

हमारे देश की पाठ्य-पुस्तकों में जवाहरलाल नेहरू का गुण-गान होते रहना कम्युनिस्ट देशों वाली परंपरा की नकल है। अन्य देशों में किसी की ऐसी पूजा नहीं होती जैसी यहाँ गाँधी-नेहरू की होती है।

Cont 👇

अतः जैसे रूसियों, चीनियों ने वह बंद किया, हमें भी कर लेना चाहिए। वस्तुतः खुद नेहरू ने जीवन-भर जिन बातों को सब से अधिक दुहराया था, उसमें यह भी एक था – ‘हमें रूस से सीखना चाहिए’ और सचमुच नेहरू और पीछे-पीछे पूरे भारत ने कम्युनिस्ट रूस से अनेकों नारे और हानिकारक चीजें सीखीं।

👇👇

तब क्या अब कुछ अच्छा नहीं सीखना चाहिए?

जिस तरह रूसियों ने लेनिन-पूजा बंद कर दी, हमें भी नेहरू और गाँधी-पूजा खत्म करनी चाहिए। यह तुलना अनोखी नहीं है। यहाँ पैंतीस-चालीस साल पहले नेहरू की लेनिन से तुलना बड़ी ठसक से होती थी।

👇👇

नेता और प्रोफेसर इस पर लेख, पुस्तकें लिखते थे, और सरकार से ईनाम पाते थे। तब रूस में लेनिन और यहाँ नेहरू की महानता एक स्वयं-सिद्धि थी। दोनों को अपने-अपने देश का प्रथम मार्गदर्शक, महामानव, दार्शनिक, आदि बताने का चलन था। फिर समय आया कि रूसियों ने लेनिन-पूजा बंद कर दी।

👇👇

वही स्थिति चीन में माओ की हुई। आज उन देशों में अपने उन कथित मार्गदर्शकों की जयंती तक मनना बंद हो चुका है। रूस और चीन में इस अंध-पूजा के पटाक्षेप के लिए कोई जोर-जबर्दस्ती नहीं हुई। जनता ने सर्वसम्मति से उस कथित महानता का अध्याय बंद किया।

भव्य माँ कामाख्या मंदिर, जाग्रत 4 आदि महा शक्तिपीठों मे से एक है🙏🏻

असम के दिसपुर मे नीलांचल या नीलशैल पर्वतमाला के शीर्ष पर स्थित मां भगवती कामाख्या का सिद्ध शक्तिपीठ सती के 51 शक्तिपीठ में सर्वोच्च स्थान रखता है।

इस #Thread मे देवी माँ से जुड़ी एक अनोखा तथा रौचक बात जानिए ...

मुख्यमंदिर में देवीमाँ की कोई मूर्ति-चित्र नहीं हैं,वल्कि एक कुंड है जो हमेशा फूलों से ढका रहता है।
चमत्कारी इस स्‍थान पर भगवती की महामुद्रा अर्थत योनि-कुण्ड स्थित है। यहां देवी के गर्भ और योनि को मंदिर के गर्भगृह में रखा गया है।

तथा यहाँ सिर्फ देवीकुंड की ही पूजा होती है
🙏🏻🙏🏻

योनी भाग के यहां होने से माता यहां रजस्वला भी होती हैं।
दुर्गा पूजा,पोहान बिया,दुर्गादेऊल,वसंती पूजा,मदानदेऊल,अम्बुवासी व मनासा पूजा पर इस मंदिर का अलग ही महत्व है।
उन दिनों यहां लगता है अम्बुवाची मेला।
अम्बूवाची पर्व के दौरान मंदिर के गर्भगृह के दरवाजे स्वत: ही बंद हो जाते हैं🙏🏻

अम्बुबाची मेला के दौरान पास में स्थित ब्रह्मपुत्र नद के शाखा का पानी तीन दिन के लिए लाल हो जाता है।
यह लाल रंग कामाख्या देवी के मासिक धर्म से होता है।
फिर तीन दिन बाद दर्शन के लिए यहां भक्तों की भीड़ मंदिर में उमड़ पड़ती है,मंदिर के अनोखे प्रसाद के लिए...

मां को जब तीन दिन रजस्वला होता है,तो सफेद रंग का कपड़ा गर्भगृह में महामुद्रा के आस-पास बिछाया जाता है।

तीन दिन बाद जब मंदिर के पट खुलते हैं,तब वह वस्त्र माता के रज से रक्तवर्ण व गीला होता है।
इस कपड़ें को अम्बुवाची वस्त्र कहते है,
जिसे भक्तों को प्रसाद के रूप में बांटते है...🙏🏻

Plan of a fortified Capital city as described by Kautilya in Arthashastra. #Thread
++

The king shall build his capital at the center of his kingdom near a water source and fortify it with moats, Rampart and high Parapet walls encircling the city. ++

Design of Ramparts, Parapets and towers on top of them is described in detail. ++

Inside of the fortification there will be roads, gates, aqueducts & drainages. The Royal residences and residential areas for different Varnas are also described in detail. See city plan image in first tweet of this this thread. ++

Temples to gods like Siva, Lakshmi, Vaishravana, Ashvins & Kali are built at city center. Tutelary deities are installed at different parts of the city and guardian deities at the gates. ++

My peoples, the time has come for a MEGATHREAD.

In 40 tweets I will explain another 40 concepts you should know.

Strap in. Here we go:

Abstraction: There are scales of explanation. A human can be considered a person, mammal, collection of cells, collection of stardust. Sometimes the reason people can't see eye to eye is that they're unwittingly considering things at different levels of abstraction.

Scope Neglect: We evolved for the small scale of tribal life, so we can't comprehend the big numbers that recently entered human life. We can appreciate the difference between 50 and 100, but not a million and a billion. It's why we often treat geopolitics like family politics.

The Law of Very Large Numbers: Given a wide enough dataset, any pattern can be observed. A million to one odds happen 8 times a day in NYC (population 8 million). The world hasn't become crazier, we're just seeing more of everything.

Benford's Law: Numbers in natural sets of data are not uniformly distributed (e.g. 30% of numbers have 1 as their first digit). Used by the IRS and other tax agencies to determine if you've lied about your finances.

Some ofthe biggest breakouts occur after Volatility Contraction, the analogy is that more a spring is pressed, higher it jumps whenever it gets released.

There is a VCP Scanner on chartink (Not mine). This may also be used to find potential Breakouts.

(1/3)

I am using only one indicator in the chart.
i.e DC(20) = Donchain Channel
I use 3 min chart and the DC period is 20, so DC high is basically the last 1 hour high & DC low is the last 1 hour low.
The middle line is the median of high and low.

(2/3)

Donchian channels are mainly used to identify the breakout of nifty/BNF.
We can take directional bias based on the indicator.
If nifty is breaking DC high, can take bullish view.
if it is breaking DC down, can take bearish view.
if it is in between, can trade range-bound.

(3/3)

We can monitor nifty/banknifty futures with volume along with DC.
If the volume is 1.5 to 2 times the average volume and if DC high/low is taken out then it can be a strong bullish/bearish signal.

How To Find Market Leaders During Corrections (Thread)

Market pullbacks and corrections are a natural process that may feel painful at first, but they set the stage for new true market leaders to emerge.

During a pullback the first thing you want to do is protect your capital and manage risk. You should rank your holdings and cut the lowest quality first.

How to grade your holdings with @mwebster1971

Protecting your capital and naturally transitioning to higher cash levels keeps you focused and objective, allowing you to begin the fun part, the treasure hunt for the next uptrend’s golden opportunities.

During a correction, institutions take the market weakness as an opportunity to add to their highest conviction holdings. This support will show up in the price charts as stocks with promise buck the overall market downtrend.

Mahabharata starts with the following verse:

🌺नारायणम नमसकृत्य
नरम चैव नरोत्तमम,
देविम सरस्वतिम चैव
ततो जयमुदिरायत।।🌺

“‘Jaya’ must be recited after having bowed in obeisance before Narayana and also Nara, the supreme human being, and also the goddess Sarasvati.”

Narayan, the supreme lord and Nara, the exalted human being, are together worshipped along with goddess Saraswati, before reciting the Epic. The Mahabharata identifies Krishna with Narayana and Arjuna with Nara in the divine pair.

The legend of Nara-Narayana is also told in the scripture Bhagavata Purana. Nara and Narayana were both considered as Gods and Rishis, who took birth as sons of Dharma through his wife Murti who was a daughter of Daksha.

Nara and Narayana travelled to the hermitage of Badri in their golden wagons and engaged in fierce austerities there.

Badrinath Mandir's sanctorium, to the far right side of the stone image of Badri-Vishala
(or Badri-Narayana), are the images of Nara and Narayana.

Also, the Nara and Narayana peaks tower over Badrinath.

The Swaminarayan sect worships Nara-Narayana Deva and they are believed to reside at Badrikashram and to be the prime controllers of the destiny of all beings, depending on their karma.
