Bonds are the natural comparison because bonds represent relatively riskless cashflows. Bonds tell you how much you get paid in the future, stocks don't.

Otherwise, how can you measure the return to risk?

> then it will discount its price by x% ten years later as well

That doesn't follow because you're missing a free parameter. Let's say a piece of stock ought to be worth $110 in 1 year if people weren't risk averse (based on how we think the company will do, etc.), but it'll only be worth $100 because of the risk. It can still be worth $91 today, implying a 10% return, for example.

For any path of future expected equity values, regardless of what future discount you apply, there is a price today that will imply an equity risk premium.

FYI, people have empirically measured the implied equity risk premium over long periods of time. The general consensus is that equity returns around 5-10% more per annum that a risk-free asset, but it varies greatly from decade to decade:

Here's some feedback:

1. I don't get the Amazon gift card angle. Is that some allowance that you're giving the employee? Those gift cards can be sent electronically and they're more convenient to use that way since it's a website.

2. You can drastically simplify the pricing. I would remove the two tiers and just make it one price. Increase the price a bit more and have shipping included. Reduce the complexity, reduce the friction.

3. Why stop at new hires only? Market this as a way to keep remote employees happy whether it be at the time of onboarding, just for fun, or whatever milestone/event.

4. Why compare what it costs you vs what it would cost them? The value is more than the cost savings. It's the convenience and the fact that you're made for it. Give the client an option to include a personal note or something to make it go from commodity to premium.

It is possible to find balance in there. Not all systems fit all workplaces. The main point I was trying to make is that whatever is used should be fair.

If everyone's pay is public, it might not be uncommon to ask "why does person A make more than me?" And There has to be things you can point out (I suppose you can keep quiet, but it probably doesn't foster a wonderful environment). And if they ask how they can increase their own pay or their own job performance to make their pay better, it really needs to be more than, "just suck it up": In addition, the employee has to realize they probably won't catch up to Person A because they weren't doing the necessary stuff from the beginning.
Why not have the bottle opener attached to the BBQ itself? You could DIY this, or attach a keychain one to a chain to the BBQ.
It looks like our current approach isn't working. What if we had each site publish its login/registration endpoints in a URL, e.g. .well-known/loginurls?

Then the password manager could detect you're trying to register or log in and log you in itself, generating your password in the process. Why aren't logins machine-accessible yet?

I don't like them either, but when I implemented them with our latest SaaS app, it really proved to be extremely useful to engage with users, and bring them back to the fold if they were thinking of letting their trial lapse.

The beauty is that we run it all using Intercom.io, and if someone really doesn't want to hear from us, they can unsubscribe and never hear from us again. If they stay on, we can really tailor the drip onboarding emails and tailor it to suit their situation (e.g. logged on less that 'x' times, only entered < 5 transactions, never visited a particular page etc.)

Speaking of 'dark patterns', I absolutely abhor, and insist on never using pop up email request dialogs on the main landing page of our site. My philosophy is never badger a potential customer before they sign up, but rather entice them to engage with me and my product after they have expressed an interest and signed up for a trial. We don't want to 'punish' people for just looking but we don't want them to feel alone if they are looking to become a user.

Even then, if they choose to walk away, we stop pestering them after one last attempt to entice them back.

No the irony is that you dont see I gave you both.

I gave you both an expert and and an article claiming backing my claim up.

Find me on single article claiming that it's common knowledge that Go would beat a human soon back then and you have me.

Until then I am pretty confident the main consensus was as I claimed and which is my main point.

We mostly underestimate how fast this is moving and it's not only laymen who get it wrong, many experts do to.
The reason why most people avoided them especially the "passive" ones is that the "filter" they used on the panels made the normal TV experience slightly worse if you are pedantic about image quality.
The image tends to be bit more fuzzy and dimmer than on 2D displays but again it's a compromise some of the latest 3D TV's pretty much are indistinguishable from 2D only panels but overall the lack of content was what killed it rather than the performance of the TV itself.

Sure you still have some viewing angle issues which might make some living/TV room setups not optimal for 3D and most TV's only came initially with 1-2 pairs of glasses and if it was a active 3D setup (had an active switching component inside of them) they could be somewhat expensive but if the content was there it wouldn't matter.

If there were more 3D blurays and DVD's out there and especially if Netflix or any other streaming service would have supported 3D content (3D streaming is still not a solved issue somewhat) the outcome would've been different.

Overall once 3D content is going to be easily streamable (and it's being worked on) and "glassesless" 3D/Stereoscopic panels become slightly cheaper it might make a comeback.
Avatar was a nice experience but overall even in the cinema many people avoid 3D atm simply because it's still not there, these issues would be solved eventually and when every content would go through stereoscopic processing it would look pretty nice :)

Let's say you're using a cache server as a best-effort cache, and you take advantage of its ability to store complicated data structures. Your client implementation has a small bug with one of them, and ~1% of the time it sends something to the server that's not to spec. Right now, the server returns an error for that specific request, but doesn't drop the connection and continues processing later requests on the connection. You know about the errors, but they're not worth fixing.

Now the cache server has a security update, so you apply it right away. But now when it gets your invalid command it not only returns an error but it drops the connection. Your client doesn't handle this well, and now your caching is fully broken and your server falls over from the load.

I am thinking about systems set up to protect us can end up hurting us because in order for them to be helpful they get so much power over us that their continued improvements become fundamental to our survival beyond the scope of our ability to understand it.

The "system" does not need to have intent or be even closely aware to be dangerous to humans.

And so the article sets up a false premise if the quoted conclusion is to be the base of judging whether it's going to be a threat to us or not.
What would negligence liability for site owners have to do with criminal liability for hackers? When someone breaks into a warehouse left negligently insecure by its operators, the warehouse customers might sue the operators. But that suit will have no bearing whatsoever on the criminal prosecution for the person who actually broke into the warehouse.

Breaking into warehouses is a crime because no matter how bad a job the owner of a warehouse does at locking their warehouse up, we don't want random people breaking into other people's property. Why would the logic for Internet sites be any different?

Also, as I'm fond of pointing out: you can coherently and reasonably lobby for liability for site owners who fail to keep out hackers. But I don't think most HN readers are going to like where that leaves the industry. Hint: Facebook and Microsoft aren't going to have any real problems surviving. But indie developers? Different story.
There are so many consumers out there who buy new TVs, laptops, phones, and sometimes even cars every few years; just read the comments on any tech news site to find them.

I agree that it's silly to bundle the two, but these types of consumers won't care that their 2012 TV's YouTube app stopped working in 2016 because they already bought a new TV years ago.

When I got accepted to one university's CS program, they emailed congratulations to everyone who was accepted... on cc rather than bcc.

The ability to anonymously, and untraceably make money is not like the ability to encrypt information, a symbolic thing you have for insurance reasons, or your privacy. A private international to-cash economy is not the same as a private bedroom, or letter, or home.

Fortunately OS X isn't as bad as Windows. I haven't tried the most recent version, but for previous versions I have successfully installed OS X from a USB stick, without needing any internet access at all.

However, the OS X binaries are signed. So, when the key expires, people are SOL. I had this problem, and easily re-downloaded my various older OS X versions. But in the general case it's quite disturbing: http://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/03/older-os-x-installers-br...

My grill spatula has a bottle opener embedded in the cutout pattern at the end. When I realized it was a bottle opener I immediately thought 'who would want to open a bottle with a grilling spatula?'. Now, finally, I have my answer: tvongaza would want to open a bottle with a grilling spatula.

Sadly I don't recall where we bought our grill tools. Looks, based on a quick google, like it's not an uncommon combination. I think this would probably suit you pretty well: https://www.firebox.com/Machete-Spatula/p7134?mkt=en-us

Password managers already do that, they just check for password type field and the site.

Keepass does that pretty sure all the others also do.

But again what problem are you trying to solve? using password managers is easy as pie today including automating signup and generating passwords, most people do not use them.

Postgres stores statistics for expression indexes, so it can know that the predicate is true for half the rows.

In the worked example, adding expression indices for the integer values of value_1, value_2, and value_3 makes the JSONB solution only marginally less efficient than the full-column solution. On my computer, ~300ms instead of ~200ms.

(This is Postgres 9.5)
I do agree that the connection to revenue is much clearer in other departments but that doesn't mean engineering can't impact the bottom line.

Areas where I think good engineering can help include, designing software that minimizes its support costs, attention to code quality to improve customer/users experience, improving up-time, shortening maintenance windows, metrics and telemetry that help marketing and product development understand how a product is being used.

Good product documentation (reference manuals, in-product help, etc) is difficult and often over-looked. This isn't coding but engineering input into documentation is important.

Engineers can also provide significant input into product features and directions.
Mine is a Panasonic Viera that I got a year or so before they stopped making Plasmas. It's a nice panel even if, in retrospect, I might have gotten something less reflective for the room it's in. (Still, I use it very little when it's light out.)

If there's a 3D Bluray of a movie I genuinely want to watch, I'll pick it up but there are very few. Funnily enough, I've never bought Avatar as I saw it in Imax 3D in the theatre and was pretty much "That was an impressive experience but I don't really need to watch an echo of a not-so-great movie again at home."

Well it does have an extremely weird syntax. Why follow convention when you can move in an arbitrary direction?
Having been around through several recessions, my observation is that the idea that dumb index funds double your money every ten years is a theory that can [and has historically] run counter to the facts. One reason is that the dumb index funds are tied to indexes that simply swap out losing investments for winners when there's a loser in the index. It does not cost the index any money, but actual funds have to realize the loss of the loser and then pay for the winner.

Ten years ago the DJI was about 12k. Today it's 18k. That's not doubling every ten years. Over the long term upward trend it's a double since 1998...though if a person had had a pile of money to throw at the DJI in 2009, yes they could have doubled their money in seven years. In 2009, most people did not have a pile of money to throw at the Dow...or rather whatever pile they had was much smaller than it had been two years earlier.

The ink in newspapers is often 'not good' to 'bad' for your health, which makes rubbing it onto your cookwares a slightly dubious choice.
For me a great example is additional/diagnostic information related to other systems...

In one such example would be a transaction table, where the transaction info I care about are dedicated columns, but additional details from say paypal, or another payment processor would be stored as JSON, as there is little value to parsing the detailed information into a unified format, that will always have "extra" information for that processor, and without the need of dedicated tables for each payment processor.

Another example would be logging, where some information is consistent, but other additional information is mainly just stored. I also like jsonl (line terminated json, one record per line) in a gzip stream works very well... as an aside from a db server.

There are other considerations as well, in some cases a document store such as mongo or rethinkdb may be closer to what you ideally want, for that matter you may need something closer to Cassandra.
I would like to see websites make password changing a simple and standardized API call. That way integration with things like 1password will allow it to automatically change the password with each login. Or I can schedule them all to be updated every day, etc.

This drastically reduces the amount of valid logins from a dump that's even just a few days old.

2factor is simply not enough (though I still want it for important logins). Automatic password changing would be complimentary.
