Idiots and their math

If they expect to HODL or whatever for 30-40 years doesn’t that mean they’ll be 60-70 years old if they are 30 years old now. They do know their age isn’t infinite right? And if you sell at the end range of 40 years how do you know it’s at the ATH point. And assuming you sell at 40 years at ATH, you might be dead before you enjoy it?

The “cover me” confusion

Recently, I played with a player in a tournament for the first time. He said his ankle was a bit injured so he insisted I “cover him”.

Now, with any other players I was thinking because they are injured I would help them cover the back since there’s a bit more area to cover. I thought this assumption was correct. l so I didn’t question it.

But when playing with this dude, everytime we lost a point he was doing the “it’s your fault” attitude and waving me to cover the front. Even when he < half court lift, he expect me to cover the front. I had to move back as to not get hit. Needless to say a lot of confusion on who gets what.

Anyways, after about 4 matches together I finally asked him whether he wanted me to “set” the play for him instead and for him to “cover” the back. And he replied “yes, I just want to stay back and smash”. Me setting the play for him is very different than “cover me”.

We immediately started playing better after I changed my usual backcourt dominant play to front court.

I guess my question to you guys is when they say “cover me”. What does that mean for you guys and what are the assumptions you make about that statement especially when your partner doesn’t specify what they mean up front. Is it standard for the “cover me” to mean covert the front court?

Edit: I also realize why he used “cover me” instead of communicating properly. It’s a bit embarrassing to asked in MD to play mixed style?

Wondering what’s the best hardware stack to build a system where a bunch of devices (say boxes) when they get loaded onto a car can detect a base station inside a car and emit their ID to the base station. The base station (could be connected to a phone/app) then submits all of their IDs that say they were present at that location and have been picked up.

I guess I’m trying to defer the GPS location onto the phone.

Would this solution be better, in terms of cost? As opposed to just a GPS tracker for each device that just pings its location to a central station?

I don’t need indoor accuracy (I guess no need for BLE/beacons from what I’m reading). But I do need where in the world location those boxes left the warehouse kind of data.

I’m a programmer, and would like to try making a POC for this? Any suggesting/advice?
