I am a creative writer and designer looking for a remote work/freelance opportunity that will allow me to work as a force multiplier for the benefit of a project. Experience in publishing for both web and print.
I agree with the OP's point, but you mentioned 2008 and what happens after that and I'm saying you can diversify in a way that handles those kinds of economic events. (The strategy I mentioned also got really lucky in the 70s and held up cumulatively since then. Of course you can make it unlucky by picking different dates, too e.g. ignore the 70s or 2001 or 2008.)

The chart page doesn't explain things very well, so it takes a bit to unpack, but the point of the chart is actually to give a better idea of comparative performance over a time period rather than focusing on a particular number like average return. Basically it's dividing the current value of one portfolio by the other at each point. The ratio shows the ebb and flow of the two portfolios against each other. John Bogle's speech [1] and this forum [2] probably explain it better.

EDIT: cleaned up the first paragraph.
I thought this to be really interesting. I found this article making good points and it is incredible that the maiden name is more important that the password itself. Seems backwards in my opinion.
Another interesting project in the same space is DGraph (https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph), built by a former Google employee who worked on Knowledge Graph and thus likely a former colleague of the author of Cayley.

A interesting feature of DGraph (vs Cayley) is that instead of using its own query language it uses a language based on Facebook's GraphQL.
I think they are talking about beautiful natural places where you can spend sometimes alone. It's my biased interpretation, living in London I don't care about musicals, museums (just because they are always full of people) or anything with concrete in it or crowded, I just want a beautiful place where I can spend some time alone.
I still use the old and known fonts such as Arial and Times New Roman. In my opinion no new font can ever replace the oldies.
Probably about as much as you see from him on the subject of Russia and China. The Intercept is about as unbiased as Fox News - lots of criticism directed towards the US and its allies, silence on every other country.
Don't forget the countries it toppled.
Does any other provider (Mailgun? SendGrid?) support EU standard clauses and send them on request? Mandrill does this. EU startups are out of options otherwise.
I agree based on my experience reading these types of comparisons. I've never thought there was any ambiguity to saying "1.6 times faster." It means performance_1 = performance_0 * 1.6.
I have a co-worker that refuses to use any chat service at work. You have to email him if you need him and he will get back to you very quickly if he's not busy. That forces us to make a real case before emailing him because emails are more like a serious business!

Email from Mailgun's shared IPs is being flagged as spam by Hotmail and AOL, which may indicate insufficient warmup with those services (e.g. Hotmail is not familiar with some of their shared IPs yet, and suspects them of sending spam until proven otherwise).

Both. I have a 7 month old and just finished working on a decently sized project (amp-analytics[1]). Both my team and manager have been super supportive through the process. I don't remember when I worked full 40 hours a week (that does not mean the work did not get done. Just that I could work when the child allowed me to.) Except for working from home on occasions (1-2 days a month), I didn't work remotely much so I do not know the policies around it.

Couldn't agree more. I was sending a couple of thousand emails a month with mandrill for free. Would have happily paid 9.95 a month. But when I got their email, and read their blogpost, it was completely unclear what I had to pay. The message I got from them was, "sorry, don't want your business."

With this, and Kimono, in one week, I am moving to amamzon ses, though it has very few reporting features. Sorry Sendgrid/Mailgun, but TWICE burnt, and all that...

Getting out of London into proper countryside does take some time. One of the things I missed when I moved to London from Manchester was being able to take a train to the edge of town and walk out into the Peak District. Now that I live in San Francisco I can easily drive out somewhere nice, but still miss being able to take the train and enjoy a couple of pints at the end of my hike!

The main characters are mostly cyborgs. They speak to each other remotely through telepathy-style wireless SSL-of-the-future. Remote exploits of people's heads are rare in the world canon, but are a focus of the story. So, they are a frequent topic of the series.
I think that is just a habit(or reflective of my state of mind). They do not sacrifice employees for good reviews on Hacker News (at least not that I am aware of...).

More people submitted a post here than upvoted. That kills the thread.
> We also have to port our own servers to another service, and fast.

Once you've done that you should look at what other services you rely significantly upon and see about mitigating the risk there by having an alternative ready to go (or even sharing the load).

At a previous startup we realised we relied wholly upon Mandrill and so reimplemented the sending code so that half of the emails went out via Mandrill and the other half by SendGrid. A stunt like the above just requires a quick reconfigure to make all emails go via the alternative provider whilst we (with less panic) add another new alternative provider to share the load. It also helps build up a positive reputation before cutting over straight away.

(This wasn't about splitting the emails amongst free tiers to keep it free, we were far away from moving up to a paid tier even with all emails going through one provider.)
And while this may sound far fetched, the lack of transparency hurt the cause of the executives. "If you aren't hiding something, why are you hiding something?"
Well, yes, but hasn't the same led to bit rot? Admitedly, I haven't looked at wx in a looong time. But when I was, I was looking at WxPython, and IIRC at the time there was an issue with wx being 32-bit only with no visible progress towards 64 bit. That scratched wxPython off my list for that project. (I admit my data is stale here, so, if you can refresh my cache, please do.)
An important point for this is that the answers seem to be stored in plaintext (by companies) so you also shouldn't use the same one in multiple places. Simply substituting easily researched information for less easily researched information only solves half the problem.
Even ignoring how the money is used, some of the recent donation drives have been really off-putting. Multiple times I've been scanning an article on my phone to find the section I need, only for the page to grey-out and become non-interact-able because a donation request banner[1] has loaded over the top of the article. It's not a huge deal (scroll to the top, close it, and continue), but annoying your users is a pretty poor way to solicit donations IMO.

It's helpful to know that on most services the maiden name can be thought of as a second password. Only on some credit-related services does the answer actually matter, it seems.

And then there are those of us who have hyphenated surnames, where the maiden name is there for all to see. I wish my name weren't hyphenated, but I'm stuck with it. It's always silly when someone asks for maiden name: I've already given it to you...

Hyphenated names are also longer, making it a perpetual challenge to fit my name on forms. On standardized tests I was always penalized a minute or more as I spent time scratching in all of the letters of my name. Then there are the fields where the hyphen is not allowed, so I have to enter something that is not my legal name, or even worse are the services that accept the hypthenated name but then transparently change it for storage on the backend. This can make verification fun since there's no telling whether the hyphen was removed, replaced with a space, or some other character entirely. Better hope that you don't have a limited number of attempts to access something. It doesn't fit on credit cards either, making the name field of web payment forms a best guess (I usually put my full name regardless of what is actually on my card).

Future parents out there: consider expressing your family pride or sense of nonconformity in a different way. Hyphenated names are a nice gesture, but they're totally impractical in a world where data entry matters. I'm only thankful that I don't also have a unicode character in my name...
I'm looking forward to Google opening an office in Bristol. Until then, I'm stuck on a daily commute from Bath to London.

Right – that's why I didn't say “known compiler and standard library”. That said, it's a difficult comparison because OS updates tend to be more conservative and are definitely less frequent than browser updates, AOT apps in lower-level languages like C/C++ are going to manage a higher percentage of their core data structures because they're pinning something like Boost whereas a JavaScript developer just gets whatever version of Object/Array/etc. is available, and there's not really a concept of a pinned release: if you install Windows apps, you'll pull in major versions of things like .NET or the JVM but there's no analogous practice of pinning a particular browser version. The closest we've come was Internet Explorer's compatibility modes which they've deprecated and which never changed the core JavaScript engine's performance – e.g. IE8-running-as-IE7 still applied the IE8 JavaScript engine's validation and optimizations.
I'm not sure I'm following his argument that lots of topic-centered inboxes are worse than one firehose.

It's not uncommon for me to finish the day with many of my rooms containing unread messages, because I was only caring about 2-3 rooms centered around the priorities of that day. So that's many messages I didn't have to wade through.

In contrast, email requires my attention by default. I've set up smart mailboxes to pull out more important content but there's still a joyous mix of unrelated content that's vying for my attention.
