Twitter is supposed to be a business to its investors. Anyone can make a Twitter clone that can do exactly what you say, e.g. host provocative Trump tweets.

This is not a 'technology' company. It's an online sounding board. A good one at that, that can make some ad money, but let's not pretend this thing should be worth so much.
Twitter makes me think of a public good on the internet. It's fun to imagine it being funded by tax dollars instead of investment money, with no ads whatsoever and 1/20th of its staff size. The priorities would have to be different entirely, but I think it would be for the better.

Actually, I can imagine a few internet properties that might make more sense to be run like this. Some things just don't really make sense when you try to do them for profit.
I have a related technical question. Why couldn't something highly embeddable like SQLite be the default underlying implementation for a data frame in something like Python or R? It seems like Pandas and R data frames have a great deal redundant functionality.

SQLite seems like it has the guts to be the standard libdataframe.c for R, Python, Julia, etc. As a side benefit it already has a super consistent API (a.k.a. SQL).
Even in NYC, some drivers would own their medallions - many of them banked on being able to sell them when they retire.

I don't think modelr is going to change significantly in the future. It solved a pressing problem (fitting models as part of a pipeline) so I could teach modelling using the same interface as everything else in the book.

However, the modelling infrastructure in R is generally showing it's age, and thinking about how to make modelling easier is something that I will be working on in the coming months.

The primary advantage of a 401k is that contributions are deducted from your taxable income.

If you make $100,000 and put 10% of that into a 401k, your income tax will be based on a $90,000 income.

You do pay taxes on the money you put into a 401k when you start withdrawing from it during retirement, but what matters is this: if you believe your income during retirement (i.e. the money you'll be paid regularly out of your retirement accounts) will be less than your income today, then contributing to a 401k means you will end up paying a lot less in taxes overall, over the course of your life.

There are ways to take money out of your retirement accounts before retirement age, but it depends on certain scenarios[1]. If you need to access the money before retirement age outside of those scenarios, then do a regular brokerage account.

Regardless though, you should definitely open a Roth IRA if you're eligible, and contribute the maximum amount every year. Contributions to your Roth IRA are after-tax, so they won't be taxed when you take them out during retirement - since they have already been taxed. This makes them very advantageous.

Anecdotal evidence is a poor basis for an argument.
Not really; people who had preconceived notions of what they thought Apple would do were reporting this. And those people were wrong, and perhaps their preconceived notions are in need of revision.
One issue with the Roth is the amount you can contribute phases out with increasing income, to the point that you can't contribute if you file single and your income exceeds $132k (or $194k for joint filings).
> Apple doesn’t give a shit about neckbeard hipsters who spent thousands of dollars on expensive audiophile gear that rely on 100-year-old technology to transmit audio signals.

Is that stance from a reductio ad absurdum contest? Like nobody ever use with great success an humble audio cable for non expensive audio stuff in the real world outside the silicon valley?

My modest proposal : if you really want to remove an more than often annoying 150-years old technology that we don't realize yet we don't really need it

Perhaps a better approach would be to simply say that if people are then looking for something a bit above and beyond, in terms of programmability, this is something they can look at, rather than talking about "fighting" Microsoft.
I think it is unlikely, but the chance that they will tax Roth withdrawals is positively correlated with the very scenario that makes contributing to them advantageous, a massive tax hike in the future. If the government needs money that badly, everything is potentially on the table, down to a flat haircut tax on bank balances.
It depends on how you will access it before retirement. If you withdraw early, you incur a 10% penalty and you pay income tax. If you borrow it from yourself, you don't have the penalty but it may impact your ability to continue to invest (see rules for your plan).
That said, there is a great benefit even w/o company matching: you don't pay income tax on your contributions until you withdraw them. This lowers your taxable income, which may put you into a lower tax bracket.
"At this point, the US should repeal the law that engineers need to be paid. People say it will result in unemployment.

This is obvious a reckless idea.

I personally think that copyright should last maybe 10 years or so, so we're kind of on the same side of this.

...but arguing that hundreds of thousands of careers, billions of dollars of market cap, etc., should all be potentially destroyed because "I wonder what will happen? YOLO!" is a bad way to approach the debate.
Yeah, people need to be less uptight about this in general. Once in a while you'll have an appointment or a flight or something that requires you to leave at 5:00:00 sharp, and that's cool as long as it's not excessive, but most of the time employees should expect to leave anywhere between 4pm and 6pm just based on how the day is going, what meetings are scheduled, etc.
True. But for some reason I look more favorably on Apple for doing something new for free than Microsoft taking an existing platform and monetizing it.

To be clear I support both efforts (to various extents)...just in a fictional ranking context, I (personally) put Apple's bootcamp higher up than Microsoft's Minecraft efforts.

The little bits of the funding process that I've been able to observe tell me that you can get a round of funding on hype, but if you can't get it on hype then the investors tend to demand a better burn rate from the company. Or at least that's always the story I've heard right before the startup I or a friend worked at started making big changes.

It's entirely plausible at this point that the next time they go for more cash, they'll have to lay off 10% of their workforce to make their financials look more appealing.
Facebook is conversation. Twitter is broadcast.

Sometimes they intersect, and conversation happen on Twitter, or "broadcast" happens on Facebook, but there is at least a different social expectation about engagement, for better or for worse

Personally, as someone relatively asocial, this is why I prefer Twitter. Ironically, because of the reduced social expectations, I end up having more conversations of Twitter than on Facebook. Facebook simply gets too "personal" for me; I don't want everything I post to start a conversation (and on Twitter it doesn't nearly as often) - I'm just throwing it out there for whomever might find it interesting.

On one hand this makes advertising trickier. On the other hand, I think advertising weaved into the content is more accepted on Twitter than facebook, and maybe they will manage to leverage that over time.

As some others in this thread have said (and Patrick discusses in the post), there are lots of things you can do to much more directly impact your change of becoming rich and retiring well/early than optimizing your investments: get a really good salary and don't spend a lot of money. One blog which I have read is Mr Money Mustache [1], which focuses on those same concepts. Many of the posts are good reads.

In my opinion, when you work for bonuses/commission they have effectively hired you as a contractor. At that point you are your own business and can go anywhere. But you give away the rights to your work for stability in income, scalable structure and having a team.

Edit* also capital is pretty important which huge companies have and being self employed becomes more difficult to obtain

But, like any self owned business, you get out what you put in.

I think you're understating how big of a difference there is between a laptop charger and a phone charger. Of course two identical AC adapters for phones are difficult to differentiate; the cables are the same gauge, the bricks are about the same size, they both came with phones.

I'm not sure your mother would have as much difficulty differentiating something the size of a laptop charger from something the size of a phone charger... It's not like laptops are going to start shipping with phone-sized chargers all of a sudden.

> I also generally don't like the idea of someone else telling me what my contributions are worth. By putting in all those extra hours, you're basically pinning all of your hopes on someone else's judgment. If they like you, then maybe you'll get that extra money.

He mentioned he works in finance. That whole industry is very hierarchical and based around strict pecking orders (and lots of koolaid drinking to boot). In many firms, you are always just "one project away" from being promoted or made partner.
I like Patrick's restatement of the Practically Efficient Market Hypothesis:

You are astoundingly unlikely to know more about any stock from reading the newspaper, seeing their chart on Google Finance, or consuming their quarterly reports than a team of PhDs who did nothing but study that stock for the last year, and accordingly are vanishingly unlikely to trade stocks in such a fashion that you do better than the market once you account for fees and tax impact.

It gets to why these comment threads can sometimes have people talking past each other. Someone will say "You can't time the market", and mean 'you' in the same way Patrick does, but someone else will come along and think the statement meant "no one can time the market". Then the discussion goes off into a whole rabbit hole about quant hedge funds and the like.

We've received a complaint that your project isn't just inspired by Papertrail but copies its UI wholesale. This seems to me a borderline case: your project seems legit in that it isn't just a ripoff of someone else's work, but the complaint seems legit too, because cloning their UI (including copying some CSS) is taking a lot more than inspiration.

We've edited the title above to clarify this in a way that attempts to be fair and neutral. (The submitted title was 'Show HN: Logtrail – A Kibana plugin to view, search and tail logs and events'.)

Yup. I got hit by a bad driver who was not paying for repairs. He was high up in a national organisation for cycling. I found this out by joining up to LinkedIn and searching for him. Called his work and left a message at reception for him to "please call the guy he crashed into". He called within the hour. 3 years later the waves of spam are just as high despite unsubscribing and re unsubscribing.

The Bogleheads approach is the best approach for the normal investor. Stash it and forget it. Warren Buffett, considered the greatest investor of all time, highly recommends index funds to active investing.

Robo Advisors like Wealthfront are still just advisors, and that means they're just guessing like real-life advisors. And as has been proven time and again, they underperform index funds.

DNSCrypt or RFC7858 (dprive) are probably closest equivalents.
Because it's designed to support typically relational db workloads (i.e. Lots of changes) not data analysis workloads. Dataframes in R, pandas etc, are column oriented, which leads to better trade offs for analysis.

Also SQL is a substantially inferior API for data analysis. (Not because it's a bad language, but again because that's not what it's designed for)

I'm a software developer and over my career, I've actually been doing real estate investing for about 18 years.

3 years ago, I was able to essentially "retire" by reaching full financial independence and bring in $10k per month from real estate passively.

I don't mean to plug my own thing, but I created a course which is in pre-release called "Simple Real Estate Investment for Software Developers."

https://simpleprogrammer.com/products/simple-real-estate/

I basically outline my strategy and how I did it.

I also talked about my whole story in a chapter in my book, Soft Skills.

For those who are curious about real estate investment.

It's not risky at all if you do it right and you think long-term.

There is a difference between nominal rate and effective rate. The effective rates are fairly close to the past for high wage earners, lower for low wage earners.

>...In 1958, approximately two million filers (4.4% of all taxpayers) earned the $12,000 or more for married couples needed to face marginal rates as high as 30%. These Americans paid about 35% of all income taxes. And now? In 2010, 3.9 million taxpayers (2.75% of all taxpayers) were subjected to rates that were 33% or higher. These Americans—many of whom would hardly call themselves wealthy—reported an adjusted gross income of $209,000 or higher, and they paid 49.7% of all income taxes.

>In contrast, the share of taxes paid by the bottom two-thirds of taxpayers has fallen dramatically over the same period. In 1958, these Americans accounted for 41.3% of adjusted gross income and paid 29% of all federal taxes. By 2010, their share of adjusted gross income had fallen to 22.5%. But their share of taxes paid fell far more dramatically—to 6.7%. The 77% decline represents the single biggest difference in the way the tax burden is shared in this country since the late 1950s.

I have a coworker who works harder than anyone else on the team, he's the most productive and knows the codebase in depth. I can see him getting a nice bonus, he deserves it, but I don't think he will be promoted. For one, my boss just hired someone more senior and I think his plan is to move that person into management. The other thing is, it would kill our team's productivity to lose our best programmer, he's too useful in his current role.
The wonders of missing context :)

Its not mission critical or life-threatening. I know this, my team knows this, but someone up in the food chain is going to want blood for any serious outage.

I'm perfectly happy to shed blood for my team and take the crap, but I need something. Even if its a text back: "Dangling on mountain. Will check email on Monday" - then I can tell my higher-ups it won't be fixed till Monday, then they can tell who they need to tell.

Its the attitude that says "I'll only work 40 hours then turn my phone off" that I object to, there are real people up and down the line who are affected by business interruptions. If you're not flexible, sorry, but you're not that useful.

> we humans managed to stop and slightly reduce the Ozone Hole

By "we humans" I assume you mean Dow Chemical or whoever the primary inventor of CFC replacements was at the time. Yes, it was a good thing, but there was a relatively easy and uncontroversial fix. What we are talking about here involves people with huge vested interests in fossil fuels - people dependent on them for living and commerce, entire nations solely dependent on them just to function - there are much larger systematic problems at play that must be overcome to reverse the current trend. I'm still mildly optimistic that we can improve the situation, but if the ozone was like steering a rowboat, this is like trying to do a 180 in an aircraft carrier.

Why don't geeks read Mark Hulbert? Every time I see people discussing investing, it's usually about index funds. Stock picking is supposedly fool's gold, so you should buy the whole market, or so goes common wisdom.

But the market can be brutal. It can have decades-long stretches of terrible returns. If you had all your money in index funds, and retired in 1929, you would have made no money for 25 years. If you retired in 1967, 15 years. If 2000, 10 years. Do you have 10 years of living expenses saved up?

There are good stock pickers out there, people who focus on fundamentals. And you don't have to take their word for it. Mark Hulbert has been subscribing to many stock pickers' newsletters, trying out their picks, and reporting objectively on the results since 1980. Some libraries subscribe to his monthly report, but since investing is a very long-term process, the same handful of newsletters keep showing up in the report: you only need to look at a few recent Hulbert reports to find good stock pickers.
While no one can predict the future, I tend to agree with your hypothesis.

The advantage of a 401K over the Roth is that since both can be raided, at least with the 401K your money is being taxed only on the way out. With the Roth you are being taxed on the way in for sure, and you run the risk of it being taxed on the way out as well.

Judging from the past my guess would be that we wont see something as obvious as a penalty or a fee. Instead what you may see is a more aggressive required minimum distribution schedule. Perhaps you could see the date of penalty free withdrawal pushed back from 59.5 to 65 or 67 years of age. Means testing of social security benefits has been mentioned before. If that gets put in place, and you fail the means test for social security, they will have effectively taxed you more your entire working life.
While not wrong, you are looking at them in a vacuum, which isn't really appropriate for much of this crowd.
If you have a 401k at work, contributions for IRAs start phasing out at lower income than Roth IRAs (In fact Roth IRAs have no income limits if you are willing to do a backdoor contribution). Its often not "Roth vs Traditional", but rather "Roth vs normal taxed account"
