How can you estimate returns?

When it comes to investment products like these, there is no way to know what the future return will be.

Imagine for example a new first time investor visits the site. They are unfamiliar with these types of products. If they see something like "estimated returns: 8.5%" that person might mistakenly think that's the type of return from choosing that investment company.... Which of course is not true. It could be higher it could be much lower. No one knows what will happen in the stock and bond markets in the future.

Now I realize you are not selling these investment products yourself, but the government's rules for disclosure and advertising can give a lot of insight about how to avoid confusing or misleading potential investors. You will see even in cases where past performance is mentioned, there is a clear disclaimer that 'past performance is no guarantee of its future success'. If one needs to be that careful to avoid confusion regarding showing past returns, hopefully you see why estimating future returns are treated even stricter. https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/mfperform.htm

How did you get those numbers?
I don't know the details so this could just be hearsay, but one thing I've heard is that Baltimore has an unusually small taxable area due to a quirk in the voting requirments for annexation of outlying counties. Many rich areas exist outside of the city proper but the city can't take advantage of these resources.

Undoubtedly Baltimore has many immediate issues arising from racial tension, widespread poverty, and failure to rejuvenate industry at a scale necessary to recover from the manufacturing job implosion, but an underlying lack or resources could also be something of a stranglehold on the city.

Which is all quite sad because Baltimore has a lot of nice aspects and sees some wonderful new people largely driven by Hopkins... but I agree with you that everyone just seems to want to leave.

Something along these lines was recently in the news: http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2016-11/22/content_274557...
EMV tokens and virtual card numbers attempt to mitigate against the re-use factor. 3D secure adds a layer of auth to the regular method (at some expense).

There is a large infrastructure (acceptance, processing, acquiring, clearing, issuing) running on card numbers so the solutions mentioned above all attempt to build on top of them as oppose to replace them with something better. As the logistics of doing so tend to be prohibitive.
That is a good distinction to make, but if we don't know exactly what the cycle is things get harder to figure out. Neurons hold state and we aren't sure how much yet, let alone a deterministic method of computing it. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/new-estimate-boos...
Fortunately, merchants and banks have realized that requiring 3-D Secure results in an abandoned shopping card.

I rarely use my CC online. Asking me for my 3-D Secure password means asking me to log into my bank and use a physical second factor to set a new password.

Likewise, requiring 3-D Secure on my credit card makes me much more likely to pick a different payment method since I don't feel like doing the above. (Or rather, I might not even be carrying the phone/token needed for it.)

Seems like someone has figured this out. I haven't seen a 3-D Secure prompt in a while.

There's also no reason for me to like it: Without 3-D Secure, fraud is a minor hassle and I'll get my money back. With it, the bank may try to put the responsibility on me, even though I can't distinguish a real 3-D Secure page from a phishing page because they're all IFRAMEd per their official recommendations.
Games tend to target 60fps based on current displays, generally based on the vertical sync rate. (some monitors are 144Hz, for example)

60fps is roughly 16ms, for reference.

Audio is different, it's often about round trip latency (eg. from the time the sound is made, to when it is heard back) and has a few additional issues to consider.
Eg. there can be phasing issues where one signal cancels out or amplifies another.

This is controlled by varying the buffer sizes, but issues can still arise due to processing latency.
If the output buffer falls behind you'll hear pops as the speakers cut out.

A lot of DSP code is written to be lock-free by allocating vars when initializing so no memory allocations actually occur during updates. There are a couple great youtube talks on the subject. (look at the JUCE and CppCon channels)

<During a routine test on April 26, 1986, reactor Number 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant experienced a power surge that triggered an emergency shutdown.>

Not routine. Operators disabled numerous safety features to perform a turbine spin-down test before shutting down the reactor for scheduled maintenance. The power surge was due to putting the reactor in an unstable state before shutdown. The safety features they bypassed were designed to keep the reactor out of the unstable operating region.

Show HN: Lockbox – an open source project for storing vulnerable app settings
Hey, I've just released the first version of my latest open source project called Lockbox:

https://getlockbox.com - landing

https://github.com/Lockbox-stack/Lockbox - repository + docs

http://piotrgankiewicz.com/2016/12/05/lockbox/ - blog post about it

The idea is quite simple - being able to store e.g. encrypted app settings or any other vulnerable configurations (passwords, API keys etc.) that are being used by the applications on the remote servers. I did it for my own purpose at first, because Vault felt like a little bit too much and I really wanted to have something simple to integrate with .NET Core application (which is why I also added an external package called Lockbox.Client). Everything is open sourced, there are some basic docs for the API and code itself and other samples + everything can be run via Docker container. I hope that some of you will find it useful and I'd like to get a feedback what do you think about it and any of your concerns regarding security and so on.
Interesting announcement timing at 10:30 PM PST on a Sunday. :P

Note that negative reinforcement is reinforcement. It reinforces (i.e. encourages) a behaviour by stopping something unpleasant. e.g. your kid asks you nicely to turn off that dad music, you flip the stereo off, your kid feels better and learns to ask nicely. e.g.2. your kid screams that he hates carrots, you take the carrots off the plate, your kid feels better and learns to scream. When you say negative reinforcement you mean punishment.

My personal experience from two young children is that it works, most of the time. Obviously there are still issues - maybe the young one wants to bring some toy to school on a non-toy day - in this case getting to choose the color of sweater isn't going to help.

But mostly this approach seems to work. Now we as parents still need to remember to use this approach, which we unfortunately often forget in the morning rush.

> Screenplays are not meant to be read, they're meant to be understood and produced.

That's nonsensical, unless you mean that they're meant to be mechanically analyzed—page counts, etc. that are obviously easier to accomplish without first printing them out. Even if they are not typically read in the manner of a novel, they're still intended solely for being read by human eyeballs, and for that purpose the typography is obviously deficient in ways that can be improved with no downside.

Repeatedly pointing out that the current system manages to work is not a refutation of the claim that it can be improved. Why are you so unwilling to admit even the most superficial of flaws in your industry's standard practices?

>Baltimore is the smallest it's been since WWI (for a few years now, to a rounding error)

That's not quite the full picture. While population has mostly decreased in the last 70+ years, the rate of decrease has slowed substantially in the last couple decades, and is starting to increase.

Actually, Baltimore's population looks like it's just starting to break through PG's "trough of sorrow". See plot at the bottom of this link :

There are many parties that would gain from a better payments system.

However the logistics of improving it are significant due to the number of highly regulated and kinda-fat and kinda-happy entities running the infrastructure.

Interestingly what has happened in India and China (success of non-bank payment wallets VS cards) is injecting a lot of the traditional players with a sense of urgency. Before this it would have taken a states intervention (Eg MEPS in Sing/MY) to improve acceptance through the launch of a new payments system.
This is a great post^^.

How Fake News Articles Were Used to Market an Iffy Supplement (2015)
The non-interactive version of this is still a mystery to me. I'd love to see a simplified explanation of that if it exists.
That is why I said "in the form of a quotation" which includes mentioning the psychologist directly before introducing the quote. Roughly, the form of a quotation is an attribution, followed (or preceded) by a direct quotation enclosed in quotation marks, or by an indirect quotation without quotation marks.

The problem was the potential impression of putting words in the author's mouth, and punctuation was part of what created that impression.

In your example there is actually no need for the quotation marks, although they do not create any ambiguity because you didn't attribute the words to anyone in particular.

It seems like you mostly agree with me, but you have a funny way of showing it.
That's yet another reason why it's the next AOL.

Step 0: Always treat your kid like an actual human being (apply Kant).

Step 1: Identify if your kid leans introvert or extrovert (lemon squeeze at a very young age seems to work but it shouldn't be hard to figure it out with other methods).

Step 2: Structure the reward structure accordingly. Guess what, some kids want to go to the zoo and some kids would rather play with Legos by themselves.

Hot fixes like providing choices to give an incentive to go outside seem a bit broken to me. I'd much rather provide a good reason to go outside (or figure out that the child actually wants to stay inside and...stay inside).

tl;dr: If in doubt spend more time with the child. I feel very strongly that as a parent the thing you should optimize for is "will this allow me to spend more time with the child?" If you are already in a rush in the morning to make your important meeting there's a fundamental flaw in your approach.

Children are great instructors on what's going through everyone else's head. I really don't think people's natural impulses ever stop being childlike, they just learn how to control, cope with, or hide them (to an extent anyway).

That makes children hugely instructive for how to deal with your colleagues. Understand that underneath the facade, everyone has that native wiring that kids lay bear. What kind of things do children respond well to? What do they pull away from? How do you bring the child back to your good side when they're upset?

While the incentives may become more complex with adults, the fundamentals and principles are the same, and children are a powerful lens into the human psyche.

I see what you're saying. For most of the robo-advisors it is the past performance our portfolio on each platform from 2013-2015. We hook into an API so we can see how each portfolio is doing. For the other ones it's usually the return advertised on their website. A lot of these platforms advertise a return rate on their website but you're right that they add that "past performance is not a guarantee of future performance".

> So the heuristic would be a casualty, unless you jumped through hoops to make sure it still worked. Does this still sound like a cost-less switch to you?

Unless somebody has actually done an analysis of how well script page count correlates to screen time with both fixed width and proportional fonts, the most you can assert is that the heuristic of unquantified accuracy might require adjustment. Conventional wisdom that hasn't been subjected to rigorous analysis shouldn't be presumed to be precise. The film industry certainly hasn't given itself much opportunity to accidentally discover it if proportional fonts turn out to yield a better estimator.

The typographic conventions for scripts were not constructed with the purpose of being used for this kind of estimation, thus it would be completely unsurprising if a study were to find it to be 30% off on average; the rule of thumb itself is the product of at least some rounding already. And there's no reason to believe that a re-calibrated heuristic based on more readable typography would need to have higher variance than one based on typewriters, either.

Computing the typewriter page count of a document is such a simple task that the feature could be added to any relevant piece of software in an afternoon. It would make sense to do so even if you're still going to print it out with typewriter formatting, because glancing at a footnote with those statistics is easier for a person to accomplish than counting physical pages.
If you want a layer 2 mesh (like a switch over Wifi) use batman-adv and 802.11s - This works fine even on a 10$ TP-Link 841N. You likely want to have a model with 8mb flash and 64mb memory - otherwise there is not much stuff for other packages.

Use OpenWRT Chaos Calmer, that is the latest stable released and quite good documented at openwrt.org wiki.

This is something that should work fine: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/mesh.batman

There was a split and now most of the former OpenWRT devs build LEDE - but they don't have a release yet, however if you need support for newer routers or it's there. It's pretty close to the Linux kernel and most fixes (and also breakage) are timely there. http://www.lede-project.org

for routing:
There is olsrdv1 and the new and shiny OLSRv2 that uses IPv6 link-local addresses and has a new metric for optimizing links that takes a lot of stuff into account like packet loss, throughput and so on. https://olsrd.org

There is also babel where lot's of stuff is happening - there is experimental layer3 roaming https://github.com/jech/babeld https://github.com/tcatm/l3roamd

I'm not sure if that's true but I think batman is the best solution for smaller meshes (<50?) in bigger meshes layer2 overhead is a problem.

There are a lot of active communities related to mesh networking:

There is a yearly conference where they benchmark their mesh implementations against each other. Pretty interesting stuff: http://battlemesh.org/
