How much the market returns varies wildly between decades, but 7% is what you will get on average through passive investing. You don't need to take big risks -- plain index funds will do. Millenials are unlikely to see the stock market drop by more than 40% during their lifetime.
Yes you do. If the rail goes across any freehold, you'll have to negotiate and compensate for the owners loses. This process takes years if not decades.

What Business Leaders Should Know About Swift
One of the hottest new things to look out for at the WWDC, 2016 was the new changes brought in Apple’ Swift programming language. Since its introduction to the developer’s circuit in 2014, the programming language has changed the map of mobile application development for iOS. The most prominent change it has brought about may be counted for having open source codes that has driven adoption. Business leader may have a remote interest in Swift, but to know the momentous impact it can have to your business, you have to discuss it with your management. Here’s a glimpse of all that’s passing.

This may or may not work for you but it's now I forced myself to learn PowerShell.

First you need to understand that PowerShell (because of WMI and .net snapins) can do literally anything that can be done on a windows environment either via click, keystroke, or code.

Second you need to understand that PowerShell is an object-oriented scripting language. You can certainly use it in a procedural fashion, if you're so inclined, but you will be severely hobbling yourself in the process.

Third you need to decide to write (or locate, test, and study) scripts to do a fair percentage of the things you might normally seek small single-purpose third party software to do. Want to scan your network for devices, use PowerShell. Want to bulk, edit AD users, do it in PowerShell. Need to clone a directory structure? You get the idea...

Take this approach and look for legitimate reasons to use PowerShell every day.

I tried decrypting my password on the search page using a malicious search payload, but it didn't work. Somehow, the cookies contain hidden characters on the search page causing the getCookie method to fail. The getCookie method tries to trim whitespaces from cookie values.

You might see logical consistency in the above; I see a bunch of things tied not by any logic but solely by the fact that a set of people agree with all these things.

For instance, why is making noises infringing on your freedom from noise, but the requirement of silence is not an infringement on your freedom to make noises? Freedom from noise and freedom to make noises are both "freedoms" and one comes at the expense of the other. What is the way to weigh their relative importance which is universally applicable to other cases and not rooted in culture or personal preference?

Feedback for my project to help startups build better products
Hi HN,
I'm working on a product that helps startups to avoid expensive mistakes in building a company.

Would you mind answering 2 quick questions:

1) In building your startup, did you ever find a need for mentor ?
2) If yes, what kind of mentorship have you benefited from ?

I will personally read every comment and implement your invaluable feedback.

It's quite hard for me to get across the slightly differing sounds as it'snot my native tongue. That is why I used "approximation" in my comment, but yes it does seem like an ever lengthening ee sound. The rule is that if the vowel is followed by a double consonant it's a short vowel, single consonant means long vowel, so bil = beel and bill = beeel. But as a non-native it can be very hard to distinguish during a conversation and I am often misunderstood. In fact, I'm not even sure I have the rule the right way around :(
The consultations took a long time, and inevitably involved demolishing minor historic buildings. The UK devotes a lot of effort to preservation where China devotes almost none. The price of cities popping up like desert flowers is the sweeping away of entire villages of traditional buildings.

> Let's say I am using JNA. [...] It is not safe to call fork.

Are you calling fork() from Java, from C, or using the system call number?

Because I'd agree calling it from Java might be unsafe (depends on how Java and JNA interact), but I believe calling it from C or the system call is perfectly fine. And this is in line with what I've written previously.

> But that isn't robust.

It's not supposed to be robust in the way you are describing.

The fork-exec model is low level. It is supposed to be low level. Doing high level things with it is supposed to take some work by the application. That's not a deficiency.

If you build too many things into the low level code, you run into trouble because now you've got 10x as many ways to fail (building your pipes, writing your error messages, marshalling error state, cleaning up, you name it).

Also, some programs will want to do some of those higher level things differently, so instead of baking them into the API and having tons of parameters and paying for some of that overhead (like creating a pipe and writing error messages to the parent for every single fork and exec) you only do that when you want it.

That person you know thinks they're gaming the system, but McDonald's is the winner. They're keeping the customer hooked.
The vast majority of people keep the same phone number for a long period of time; at least a few years in most cases, and several decades in some cases.

The telephony system relies on that being the case, which is why it has the nice byproduct of being an identity verification channel for banks and other service providers.

So it doesn't matter who strictly 'owns' the phone number. What matters is that it can be relied on to be linked to a given person over an extended period of time, which it usually is, which is why the system usually works. And when it doesn't work, a fallback process is available, which makes the system work even better. So all's good!

It's easy to point out ways in which the system fails in all kinds of scenarios where people don't/can't fit in with the way the system is designed, but it's ultimately futile.

Service providers will run their system in whatever way is secure enough and usable enough for enough of their customers to be satisfied to stay as customers. There's really nothing more to say about it!
> but the majority of those killed were combatants

I hope so because otherwise that makes the US a monster.

It makes you wonder though, about cause and effect.

I mean, imagine if a foreign power had the capability to deploy drone strikes on US soil against people it saw as 'military combatants', and managed to kill them while they were attending weddings and the like, with some civilians and children regretfully caught in the crossfire.

I don't imagine it would take long for large numbers of military age males to be willing to become combatants against such an enemy.

I don't think theory first is wrong by itself.

I think that everyone will get new information better when it is something that fixes an immediate issue or clarifies an immediate doubt.

But this is not a contradiction. Theory can be presented in such a way that you want and need to know the next piece of information, the way mystery novels work.

It can be easier for the writer to create this need with examples instead of narrative, no doubt about it.

But let's not fall in the opposite direction of having only examples and no theory, so common with blogs now. I feel empty when I read such materials.

Isn't it possible to have something in between those two extremes? The opposite of showing up one morning unannounced with a bulldozer to take land uncompensated doesn't have to be an eminent-domain and planning-approvals process that is so bureaucratic and slow that it takes decades to complete.

The U.S. has some of this problem as well, though more in its environmental legislation. Having environmental legislation is good, but it's currently extremely bureaucratic. For example, Illinois is doing a relatively minor upgrade to the Chicago - St. Louis rail line, to upgrade it from 89 mph to 110 mph top speeds. This isn't a newly built line and involves very little alignment change, mainly rebuilding of crossings and stations and signalling upgrades. One of the parts of the process that has slowed it down the most is the required reporting under the National Environmental Policy Act [1], not because they're worried everything won't ultimately be approved (it eventually was), but because the amount of required documentation and procedures to go through are just so numerous and slow, that it takes a substantial portion of the resources of the entire project just to do the paperwork.

>I'm not sure abandoning the rule of law, protection of private property, labour protections

All 100% unnecessary in order to build a lot of high speed rail.

Except possibly the protection of private property (it would require eminent domain). But, since most British homeowners have been subject to one of the largest handouts in history (in the form of house price appreciation directed by the state), I think the a little leeway on that one is affordable

Plus, like the Chinese (who don't completely ignore property rights), there's nothing stopping us from building railways on stilts.
I travel a lot and in many countries a prepaid SIM (which will expire after as little as a month without use or top-up) is the cheapest way to go.

Most countries are moving towards requiring identification before activating a SIM card, like you say.

For example in Vietnam, this has only become a thing in the past month or so and it is not enforced in practice in many unaffiliated corner stores. Last month, I just walked into a corner store paid a couple of bucks to get a preactivated SIM card with a couple of GB in two minutes.
