Short selling is significantly more dangerous than other forms of investing, because it requires borrowing the securities that you then immediately sell. You eventually have to return those securities to the person you borrowed them from, so that requires a purchase in the future. If the price of the security goes up, you don't just lose your money, you take on a debt that you must repay.

The worst thing that can happen if you buy a security is that it will become worthless, thus you lose all the money you put in. The worst thing that can happen if you use any form of debt to leverage your investments is that you get wiped out completely because you end up owing more money than you can possibly pay back.

> It does no such thing. Will you put in an extra 20 hours for a 30% raise? How about 30 hours for a 45% raise?

By that point you're just running into the superlinear cost of time. Easy demonstration: What about an extra 130 hours for 195%? 40 + 130 > 168, so that's literally impossible. 120 would be possible but you would die of sleep deprivation.

Even if the value of money is linear or superlinear, the value of time quickly catches up to it as it becomes more scarce.

> In the Mincome experiment, which resulted in a 10% decrease in work effort, the effect was higher among women than men.

You always cite the 10% but the link you gave last time showed that the majority of the decrease was from young mothers and students. That's clearly a different situation than people quitting their jobs to play video games.
I see this part-time work happening via things like the informal economy and the sharing economy. We're certainly a long ways off from this dynamic playing out across the entire economy, but it seems to me to be the general direction we're headed.

You can also use PGFPlots, a plotting tool built into LaTeX (using PGF/Tikz).

http://pgfplots.sourceforge.net/

It delivers nice vector graphics plots, and since it's in your .tex file, it automatically picks up any and all styling changes you have made in the preamble. You can have it re-render plots on each LaTeX compilation, or just conditionally re-render plots if the data has changed.

(As always, latexmk [ http://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html ] comes highly recommended for automating the compilation of LaTeX documents.)
Understand Microprocessors by Looking at This Beautiful Blinking 'Megaprocessor'
I'm going to hijack this thread to describe something weird that's happened to me yesterday w/ Google: just connected on my usual BT (UK) wifi, and when I opened google.com, Safari complained about an invalid SSL certificate: it was self-signed, with expiration in 2111. After a dozen refreshes, everything started to work, with the correct certificate.

Anybody seen anything like that? Is it possible that a corrupted packet could appear as a self-signed certificate? Did some MITM screw up?
The site lets you choose a lot of parameters for CSS3 animations and shows the effect on a number of selectable objects. It then lets you download the CSS3 code with your selected parameters, so you can use them in your own CSS.

CSS animations work, any individual browser bugs notwithstanding. The nice thing about this site is that you don't have to guess all the CSS `@keyframes` and `animation` parameters to match some vision in your head, but you can visually experiment.

The actual value of this site is the interface, and I can see why it would be hard to make it work specifically for mobile devices.
> What are the hours and benefits like for long haul trucking? I'd imagine it's not a job widely available in West Virginia or areas where there is mass unemployment.

The benefits are like any other salaried position, and the hours are restricted by federal mandate for safety reasons. The one downside is being away from home for extended periods of time, but... y'know... it's a job; if it were easy it wouldn't pay well.

The labor shortage in the trades is well documented:

> Why else do you think the labor participation rate is so low? Why don't all those people who lost manufacturing or coal jobs just follow your advice?

They should follow my advice. My guess as to why the participation rate is so low is because Millennials are living at home with their Baby Boomer parents, playing video games and avoiding the harsh realities of adult life. They were sold on the false dream that they could get any degree they wanted and walk right out of college into a high paying, indoor job. Dreams like that are hard to wake up from.

> I don't think you should dismiss millions and millions of people making minimum wage, working part-time, or out of the labor force altogether and just assume (without a shred of evidence) that they are simply choosing not to take well paid jobs that you describe as so freely available.

When we no longer have a labor shortage in the trades and other blue collar jobs, I'll stop dismissing the millions of people making minimum wage.
I've been using Netlify for over a year to host static websites on custom domains and it's been impressive to me. Their control panel and tight git integration makes for a powerful combination. Not to mention that they also introduced a free tier for custom domains that I'm now using for some sites.

This is exciting to see them work on. I'm disappointed to see that they aren't focusing on designers though. Something like RespondCMS for Netlify hosting would be a superior combo.
Yes, great for brainstroming and issue discussion but not for deep individual thinking.
"You can't search lectures you attend in person either, yet that format has endured for quite some time."

There weren't really an alternative, so whether the format has endured or not isn't really relevant. Many other schools are doing this differently. At this point your statement about "holding back the progress of an entire society" seems rather hollow. I can't convince you data exposing data is more useful, but I also shouldn't have to. It's one of the fundamentals of computer systems if not the Internet.
Speaking Intelligently about “Java vs. Node” Performance
Tor does nothing of the sort. In order to throttle a client, there would need to be a central authority that could identify connections by client, which would very much defeat the purpose of Tor. And besides, how would it deal with multiple Tor clients for the same user?

That said, it's not particularly effective a as a brute-force DoS machine due to the limited bandwidth capacity and high pre-existing utilisation. Higher level DoS by calling heavy dynamic pages is still possible.

The parent didn't specify that the outages were during the period that the scraping was coming from Tor. It's equally possible that it only started affecting availability after they blocked Tor and switched to cloud machines.

All that said, screw people who use Tor for this kind of thing. They're ruining a critical internet service for real users.

None, it's just that "the market"/"the economy" as a self-maximizer process will select robots that feed it. Humans are just no longer the fittest links in the chain.

You have that same risk if you paid it for the house lumpsum at the beginning. You bought it at a set price and its value fluctuates.

You still have the option to continue to pay the mortgage payments and pay off the loan, regardless of the current value of the house.

I'm not in US, but I believe they can reduce their own risk by using debt to buy a house. They can put, say 10%, in equity. If the real estate market crashes, the lose that 10% and walk away, leaving the bank with the house.

Gnuplot is something i categorise with Fortran and hand writing latex as "I use use it because my advisor used it, and he used it because his advisor used it...". I understand that they were once the best tool for the job and they still work, but better alternatives have emerged since, e.g. matplotlib, C++/numpy and LyX respectively. I know this is a subjective matter but i feel it's a shame that a lot of scientist don't shop around and hence end up stuck with the "classical" option.

Entity Framework Core – how to make code first migration
Sorry, but it seemed like you were trolling. Guile is not a one man show. I have been active in the Guile community for 5 years now, so I know. I will admit that the bus factor in the compiler portion of the code is high, driven almost exclusively by Andy, but he has done a significant amount of writing about how the compiler works and even listed several other improvements that can be done in an effort to get more people involved. I have no experience with compiler hacking and yet I was able to implement an optimization and get it into the 2.2 release. The commit history alone isn't enough to understand the group of people that push Guile forward.

> That's a pretty poor approximation

It's not an approximation. I'm giving a sense of scale, not saying how much volume the plane has. The point is that while 11 million cubic feet sounds like a lot, if you put it in a big box next to the plane then they would be on the same scale.

> the plane isn't moving 11 million cubic feet just to move forward, it pushes on a little more than a quarter of that directly

That's jseip's post's problem, not mine.
I "shopped around" and tried all of these things, and more. I returned to LaTeX and gnuplot because they are better. I'd certainly rather use modern array Fortran than C++.

Laravel is just fine for that job. If you do not have a strong reason to change, keep on learning. It has an excellent documentation, has a great ecosystem (email, search, background jobs) that you have to assemble yourself with lightweight tools such as Sinatra or Flask (Python). For a beginner the complexity of tools is overwhelming, Laravel makes smart decisions for you. Plus, Laracasts.com is by far the best learning resource I know for any language.

Hey Ahmed,
nice write up!

One thought I had was that I would be careful using KMeans on tSNE transformed data. From my understanding, while tSNE preserves local relationships between data point, it (heavily) distorts long-distance relationships. What this means is that (if I get this right), you have almost arbitrary clustering results if your k is chosen such that it is not equal to the number of local clusters (a thing you don't know in advance). So clustering on distances between data points in tSNE coordinates seems to be a risky way to draw conclusions. I am not saying this is wrong, but if what I am saying is correct (please point out if I got something wrong), then your analysis may perhaps work better if you did KMeans on say the final 5-dimensional PCA space or something like that, and leave tsne to visualize the data (and perhaps label the data points by the clustering on PCAs?). Do you agree / does that make sense?

As smt88 says in the comments:
> You can't. If you value the relationship, don't do this.

While I agree that there is never a water-tight way to protect personal relationships, it is possible to retain them in a business scenario. But I would advise against it.

I have for many years now had a company with my best friend. We lived together for a long time, and let me tell you — you start to lose the quirks and the 'niceties' of an established personal relationship very very fast unless you are able to separate work and life, and create boundaries to do so. It seems like you and your wife currently have a separate home life from your other business partners, so this is a good step.

One of the reasons why my and my friend's company works so well is that we have a strict 50/50 split on equity and pay. This means sometimes one contributes more than the other. Yes, this can create feelings of resentment — and unless you are 100% open about your feelings with each other, and are close enough to remedy it, these feelings can harbor and grow and ultimately ruin the relationship. Business (especially when starting one) is unpredictable. That is an understatement. I would argue that splitting equity differently than equally has more potential to go wrong because roles are often redefined on the fly and you cannot foresee with certainty how much work each person will have on their plate.

I feel like my 'success' at doing at what you are hoping to achieve is an outlier. Indeed, we have also both worked with other family members and this has somewhat soured relations. Very rarely does business make a pre-existing personal relationship stronger. It adds more potential points of contention. Things never go swimmingly; and the best you can hope for is a solid outcome with bumps along the way. You must ask yourself if you are capable of handling these bumps as a group.

You must also ask yourself if you are willing to lose your relationship (as it is). This is a very real risk, and has happened to people I know (myself included).

I wish you the best, but also cannot strain enough how important it is to value personal relationships.

The weapon durability one makes me feel like they took the worse parts of Skyrim and left out all the good ones. I really wish we could repair weapons and craft new ones. With the way it is you can easily end up in a situation where you have no weapons and a bunch of ennemies in front of you. I recently did the shrine dubbed "Major test of strength" and I literally when through 4 melee weapons and 3 shields, all because the damn guardian had 3000 hp. It's just ridiculous.
