What is a Yubikey, I asked:

"Your YubiKey provides a second factor of security for your logins, beyond a username and password. Your YubiKey needs to be registered or paired with each computer, service, or site you use it with. "
If you're not browsing youtube with the extension enabled, I'd expect that Google refrains from using that completely unrelated customer relationship to fuck you over for using an extension they don't like. It's like if the city arranged to have your publicly-managed utilities cut off because you're fighting them in court over a traffic ticket, only I guess a bit less critical.
Seconded. I run two small websites with hundreds and sometimes thousands of PV per day on a server I am already using for other things. The only thing I really pay for is the domain which is a drop in the bucket anyway. I might give a random shoutout to Cloudflare here as well: Not everybody agree with their way of doing.things but from my point of view they've really helped to cut out a lot of work for personal websites.

To my knowledge, most people who make money on their websites are either big enough to monetise with sponsorship/subscription, or they'd run a number of smaller sites of no consequence nor unique content anyway. The latter has no real reason to exist.

If your employer offers a matching program for some percentage of your contribution, hey, it's free money.

Personally, I've also got some outside IRAs and mutual funds as well; better to not have all the eggs in one basket, I figure.
They'd qualify but I'm pretty sure when the law was first written it didn't have them in mind. It was specifically to prevent top level executives or business owners (>=5% of company) from creating 401k plans for only themselves.

What basis do you have for either of those claims? What sort of irregular streets do you think "serious" road bikers use, and why do you think serious road bikers don't also use a bike for shopping?
Do whatever you find ethical. I'm just here to ensure that people are well informed about the fact that paywall vs. ads is actually paywall with no search engine access vs. paywall which people won't pay for vs. ads.

> This is the exact sort of thing anti-monopoly laws are intended to work against: that a major market force in one market uses that power to intrude or support itself in another market.

That's actually not true. There's some case law about that sort of thing (the Microsoft antitrust case being the most famous), but the basis for anti trust law has always been about price efficiency, not protection of competition for competition's sake (c.f. the Microsoft breakup was overturned), nor consumer benefit.
I forgot to mention I have a couple of sim cards from various countries in the EU that have generous roaming. Like Three UK which will give you essentially free roaming (but not calls and texts) certainly within the union, but also in places like the USA. It's not enough for tethering (indeed, it doesn't even work) but it's good enough for keeping internet on your phone for things like GPS, simple mail etc, holding you over between wifi hotspots.
> By having both pre-tax (401k) and post-tax (Roth IRA), you would be also diversifying your tax liability in your retirement.

The way your comment is written, it implies that 401(k)s are necessarily pre-tax and IRAs are necessarily post-tax. Both 401(k)s and IRAs come in Traditional and Roth forms, so you could also use pre-tax money for contributing to your IRA, and post-tax money for contributing to your 401(k), or any combination thereof.

You can also split contributions - ie, contribute to all four accounts in the same year - as long as your total contributions are within the limits.

You buy shares in the stock market, not dollars, so a crash shouldn't hamper your ability to retire, unless you want to retire during the crash itself (although diversity of assets would help with this).

The stock market recovered years ago from the Great Depression and is doing really well again.

fair enough, but if there's a broad based and persistent market crash then there will be broad based and persistent deflation. Ergo, you won't need to have saved all that much money to retire.

Just learned about this the other day, Safe Harbor 401Ks:

The Problem Safe Harbor 401(k)s Are Designed to Solve

Before you try to understand what a safe harbor 401(k) is, you should know why someone would want one. Most 401(k) plans face an annual non-discrimination test. The IRS checks to see if a highly compensated employee or business owner is maxing out 401(k) contributions for the year, while the rest of the employees lag in their savings.

The IRS wants to see that all employees are taking advantage of the retirement plan, not just those with the high paying jobs. So it tests the plan to find out if the average contributions of highly compensated employees (those who earned at least $120,000 in 2016 or own more than a 5 percent stake in the business) do not exceed the average contributions of everyone else by more than 2 percent.

If you're a business owner and your 401(k) has low adoption rates or saving rates among rank-and-file employees, it may raise a flag for the IRS. According to Plan Sponsor Council of America (a lobbying business for the retirement planning industry), most businesses pass the test, but around 40 percent claim to have reported refunding or restricting plan contributions to do so.

That's right, refunding contributions! The IRS can actually reject a retirement plan contribution that it feels is excessive.

> Say what you will about government incompetence, but the idea of tying things like my retirement and healthcare to my employer just sounds terrible.

It's government rules that create that reality.
I think 4K has ended up being a bit of a whiff in most respects. I just bought a 60" TV for my living room, where we are about 7 feet from it, which is pretty close (it's the narrow dimension in my rectangular living room), and I can't tell much difference between putatively 4K content and clearly-1080P (from Bluray). It's hard to be sure, because all my putatively-4K content is streaming-based, and there aren't that many sources willing or able to ship enough bits to clearly distinguish between 1080p and 4K.

That is, in a 1080p v. 4K streaming contest, if you dedicate the same larger number of bits to the 1080p content as the 4K content, you'd get a better 1080p signal, too. With lossy compression, pixels aren't directly comparable, they have a quality, and low-quality 1080p pixels v. low-quality 4K pixels makes it hard to tell what differences are the format, and which are just the low quality in general.

(In other news, I consider the idea that streaming is obviously superior to disks to be a bit crazy. What disks have is higher quality pixels, and I expect that to continue to be true for a while. I've seen Bluray 1080p streams that are clearly superior to putatively 4K over-the-internet streams. And I've got DVDs that upscale to a higher quality than putatively 1080p streams of the same content.)

Far more important is the increased color gamut and HDR support, which does provide a noticeable increase in image quality. Even from those aforementioned dubious-quality streaming sources; the higher-gamut HDR images are a visible improvement over the NTSC-sunglasses we were all wearing without realizing it.

I didn't intend for your other comment to get flagged, but since it happened -- I hear you, this is a decent point. Look, I'm not defending what Redis or anyone else is doing, I'm simply saying I understand why, I don't think it's really a super crazy choice, but I understand and agree that it is more dangerous for people that don't read the manual. There are more things they could do to help first-timers be aware of their security. I would imagine that replacing port connections with socket connection would be a pretty big step backwards in terms of ease of use, so I can imagine it'd be hard to convince them to go that way.

Shells aren't file processing only - you process anything (dates, logs, configs, environment, apps, ...).

Unless the underlying model has all of that, I don't see how it competes with bash/ps

It should be doable but requires more than a filesystem relational model

Select * from processes order by priority

I mean I see the benefit of using Sql, had I mastered it, for files, but I'd be reluctant to sort and group reg keys or users or devices or processes or env vars differently from files in my shell language. You must have a "relational model" for the file system, do you have a way to (or plan to) generalize this to general structured data?
In general I'm okay with websites saying, "hey, if you block our ads, we don't want you using our site". I think only a few big sites are doing that so far, typically it's not the kind of site that I'd be sad over.

If it was more prevalent, eg. if Google somehow managed to arrange for all sites serving Google ads to stop working if ads are blocked, that'd change the dynamic. Ultimately it's not gonna lead to me clicking on any more ads and then buying people's stuff, so I don't think it's in Google's interest, but it'd be interesting to see.

I'm skeptical of arguments based on neuroplasticity or learning styles for the following reason. Given how good people are at learning in general (it is the evolutionary advantage that humans have), it would in fact be extremely surprising if there was anything short of an illness that shut down somebody's ability to learn things. Thus ability to learn things, even when one is older, doesn't need an explanation, whereas inability to learn things does.

Suppose your desk is 36" deep. A 48" wide screen at the back of it occupies 41 degrees of your world. The THX recommendation for cinema is 40 degrees. This is as immersive as you're going to get without strapping a screen to your head.

20/20 vision is about 60 pixels per degree, depending on which study you want to believe. 41x60 is 2460 pixels across -- you've already reached the max required pixels with a 3840x2160 display.

Even though I'm doing all the right things like maxing out 401k etc., I can't help but feel that I will regret it later.

It feels like everyone grew up hearing the same thing (people are poor planners, people go broke in retirement) and now as adults have vowed that will never be them.

The problem is that now everyone thinks this way - index funds are on the rise, people are saving into their 401k, I can't help but think that I should be zagging here when everyone is zigging. Unfortunately, however, I can't figure out what that other thing should be.
While I've personally incorporated an LLC for dealing with institutions that don't like doing business with individuals, I'm starting to think that anyone starting a new business should seriously consider making it a Public-benefit Corporation. It lets you define alternative motives for the company besides pure profit, essentially writing the flowery "mission statements" that most companies espouse right into the company charter.

It's much harder for an activist investor to demand more profits RIGHT NOW if you can point to your charter and say that you're focusing on your corporation's stated goals - maybe in Medium's case, that could be something like 'supporting quality citizen journalism throughout the world.'

I guess that might make your startup less appealing to VC initially, but I'm sure SV will happily put its money where its idealistic mouth is, right?
More money enters when the market is hot. I expect the contribution percentage closely mirrors the price of the S&P. The graph doesn't show the 2007-8 crash but I'd also expect contributions dropped at that time, also providing a depressed baseline for the current gain. Of course, people would have been better served by contributing after the drop, and one could also be nervous about record dollars chasing the market now at its highest point.
It's not quite that simple, it really depends on what you suspect your tax rates are going to be. Roth contributions are essentially taxed at your marginal rate right now, but traditional 401k withdrawals are taxed like income when you make the withdrawal.

There are lots of situations where you would want to lower your tax burden now instead of go for the Roth.

Note that you can also have a Roth 401k or a traditional IRA.
