You are probably right, but still I find it very amusing, if I was saying I am making the same amount of money with some sort of referral web site market dubious products, everyone here would have been very excited, but as soon as I mention the Stock Market I am getting down voted...

This explains a lot: Wall Street is definitely succeeding brainwashing even the smart people that investing is something very complicated and everyone should be happy with average returns... Years ago the rage were the mutual funds, now are the passive buy and hold index funds (don’t get me wrong I have one long-term strategy investing in SPY, but making twice the average)

No good deed goes unpunished here I guess... Not that I care very much, since I am not selling anything or peddling a personal blog for example... But what opens my eyes it the realization, that those people that dismiss the idea about making money from the stock market are the ones I am making money from one way or another, in the end it is a zero sum game, so if you are not making money in the stock market you are probably loosing one way or another...

1. Understand the basics of asset allocation, taxes and account types. Read Bernstein for primers on these.

2. Be highly skeptical of most of the financial services industry, especially those selling load funds, insurance, annuities, and who want to manage your money.

3. Enjoy simple cars, or no car if you can manage. The amount of money I've seen friends and family dump into vehicles over 25 years is staggering. I don't even see cars at this point. I don't care what others drive, and I don't care what I drive so long as it's reasonably comfortable, safe, economical.

Ask HN: Board Reporting – Matching Funnels with Financials
So we run a payments platform that functions a lot like an e-commerce app. After an initial registration the user can purchase a variety of goods.

We have used the concept of a "magic moment"* to guide our product & growth strategy, to great effect. Our on-boarding funnel is wholly geared towards this and it is our prime reporting metric for the business as a whole. We call these users "Acquired" and we calculate CAC based on the aggregated cost to guide a user to this point. Its the most apt metric for defining success in our product, that we can see.

However, we run into difficulties when matching this metric to traditional financials. We have users who are transacting who are not "Acquired", according to the above definition. They have lower rates of retention, though are still revenue contributing.

As we scale this issues have become more of a problem, with more traditional investors focussed on basic unit economics and struggling to account for this categorisation of users. We could disassociate the two approaches, but I worry it would have negative trickle down effect if a more traditional metric like a "basic" CAC was the tracked metric at a board/investor level.

So my question - admittedly a long shot - has anyone else encountered this particular issue? If so, how did you manage it?

> If you want to enforce the same properties that the Ethereum network can, but you don't want to use anything associated with the Ethereum network, then you need to write something similar. And it turns out this takes work.

I fail to see the reasoning behind why it takes work, or considerably more work to just write a new cryptocurrency from scratch. Basically you can just fork bitcoin or any existing cryptocurrency code, and do the changes you want to do.

In fact, as far as I understand, many organisations are for example taking ethereum code, and then just running private version of it, with their own token & mining.

The actual reason to run your ICO on ethereum network is that you get the easy money from the ethereum investors, who have gotten ridiculous gains from the ether price appreciation and are spending it accordingly. At some point the stupid money will run out.
> Blah, blah, informed electorate. Meanwhile most people have little or no grasp of the basics of political philosophy and economics, the history of both, are terrible critical readers, know little about the actual structure and functions of their government, and so on, so if your concern is being able to evaluate policy so you can make better choices in the voting booth start with those things.

This is so true. I am always surprised at how many otherwise intelligent news junkies I encounter who, for example, don't understand the difference between the House and Senate.
Yeah, StumpWM is great. There was this blog post I saw once which was very helpful for getting set up, but I can't find it (not very helpful, I know).

What's great is that the .stumpwm is just Lisp code (just like .emacs) and every window management function is available (just like in...Emacs). If there's an error somewhere, you get the full power of the condition/restart system, so your WM doesn't just crash, you can recover interactively.

And with quicklisp, there are so many Common Lisp libraries available, it becomes very easy to script StumpWM however you like...all without leaving Emacs or restarting the WM or anything inconvenient like that.

I feel like this philosophy (editing a program while it's running) isn't really found in non-Lisp languages. Which is such a shame, since I think it's really useful and cool.
Once upon a time corrections were issued as separate articles. This was move because you didn't have to keep returning to the same article for ongoing corrections or updates. And publishers can be sure everyone reads the same article, when there's only one version.

Taking a look at reviews, this appears to be basically a mail order delivery service that delivers high quality TV dinners.

"White" people routinely identify themselves as Italians, Polish, Irish, or Germans. They have parades! They're very well attended! The Irish even have a holiday.

Black people do indeed identify themselves as "black", and not "Igbo" or "Yoruba" or "Zulu". But there's a reason for that: "black", in the sense of "African American", is an ethnicity we created, by kidnapping millions of people and stripping them of their original culture. Most "black" people in the US share a common culture and linguistic tradition, one that happens to have been created here.

So it makes sense that there is "black pride" and "Irish pride" but not "white pride". Of those three groups, "white" is not really an ethnicity.

Come, come.

The reason you make it illegal is that then you can, with Rule of Law, take action against it.

You're (extremely naively) correct in saying making Terrorism (and associated activities) illegal is likely to have little direct effect, but if it isn't illegal then authorities subservient to the Rule of Law are impotent to act against it.

Assuming your comment is not that naive, what's the purpose of the comment? Unless you're advocating return to feudalism I can't see anything positive in your thinking here.

Is that what you meant by having to appeal to "soul"?

There still doesn't need to be an appeal to anything in material in order to define worth, not anymore than one needs to appeal to something immaterial do define weight in terms of mass. Have the utility of water be proportional to the thirst of the person, where thirst is also a definable physiological state, with "worth" being a scale factor. Thus "worth" would have a uniquely defined value regardless of person or situation.

Or at least that's one way to do it.

It happens anytime a language has the web tooling built in so a framework largely becomes arranging parts to your preference and naming it.

13 Most Important Questions To Ask While Buying A Used Car?

I've been experimenting with a library called `refmt` which does the Object Mapping part, but explicitly not the Relational part. It's still experimental, but you might like it, and test coverage is shaping up nicely.

The idea is by focusing completely on making Object Mapping consistent and powerfully customizable, and then composing that with either serialization formats or relational storage, we'll get good things. Right now we seem to be at and awkward hump of complexity where every new DB binding ends up implementing their own object mapping, increasing everyone's complexity, overhead, and decreasing reusability of code; refmt will hopefully represent a break from that.

1. Strive to understand how your work fits in with the overall organization. Code by itself is a liability; make sure you know how your code is used to provide value to the organization.

2. When appropriate, ask your manager for more context into areas that aren't readily visible to you. What metrics do they care about? What metrics do their boss, their boss' boss... care about?

3. Provide frequent feedback, both affirmative and critical. When providing criticism, do so constructively, and always have ideas for possible solutions. Also remember that there may be other factors that you're not aware of (see point #2). Explicitly acknowledge that you're not criticizing any individual, and admit that you don't have all of the answers. Adapt your perspective fluidly when new information comes in.

4. Make sure your efforts are in line with the direction of your team, your division, the organization, and the industry.

5. Assume positive intent.

6. Be mindful of how your actions are perceived outside of your immediate team. Optics are important.

7. Make your manager's peers envious of the team that [s]he has assembled.

What are you talking about? GC programming is usually the easiest to avoid small mistakes.

Circular references? GC will collect them! (Reference counting does not handle circular references.)

Usually the two mistakes with GC are forgetting to empty collections, (which is also a problem with manual memory management,) and relying on finalizers to clean up resources.

GC will not "read your mind" and magically close your open sockets, release your file handles, and dereference your static references. It just frees you from the tedium of releasing transient memory, like strings; and it frees you from tracking lifetimes of memory when you don't need to.

In my experience, the programmers who have trouble with GC are the ones who don't understand the difference between memory management and resource management.
