And here's my monthly reminder that places exist out there where you aren't 'forced' to help others (by some evil government): Somalia welcomes you any day now.

For some reason people are always reluctant to follow that advice.
Man I agree. AirBnB was awesome initially, a hidden gem with great prices, great properties, and great people - but now they're kind of in this make or break position I feel. Finding an amicable solution for both renters and property owners will be tough.

I don't know about the Netherlands specifically, but in general the amount of land area devoted to public spaces is very small, albeit intensely developed, compared to residential land, which is vast and less intensely developed.
too big to fail isn't that they couldn't fail but if they did they were so entwined in the economy if they do they government needs to step because the consequences would be devastating. ie worse than the depression.
the stock market is so divorced from the actual economy that over half of Americans don't participate in any way at all whether through direct purchase, 401k, mutual funds, etc.. most of the action on the stock markets is companies rebuying their stock to generate earnings and hedge funds and the less than half of Americans who have access to retirement planning.

Can you give a short summary of how PoS works?
Yes that is what I meant. Apple and MS are for-profit, but they have massive profits from something else and a huge safety net. This is opposed to a company that either makes accessible software specifically, or makes software that would benefit from being accessible (let's say an IDE such as IntelliJ).

Apple (from what I have heard MS too) really does amazing work in accessibility but this would not be possible had they not had enough resources. I can understand why understaffed open source projects do not allocate more resources to accessibility.
You can actually have scientists find signals in data they have no domain experience in. In a typical hedge fund the quantitative researchers will be a different group from the quantitative developers and traders. There are fuzzy lines between those depending on culture, but those three groups are broadly the front office. You really need domain experience for execution and risk management, but pure insights can be derived without necessarily needing any domain experience.

That said, quant researchers typically understand how the market works. They are just able to quickly excel without a background in it.
From what I can tell, the title unfortunately reflects the article well. Sure, the article does skirt around some interesting thoughts on ingrained societal bias / roles (which has been discussed here quite a bit). But the article struck me as preachy / opinionated, in that the author had a fairly exact idea of what she thought the motherhood of everyone else was.
Good points, I might go into a bit more detail for how I calculate the risk for each factor.

Thanks for the feedback
Not really. TCL didn't allow you to use one interpreter over several threads four years ago, and iirc TCL still isn't thread safe in that regard.

Guile does this with bravura.
It not really an easy thing to do, but value weighted price/earning would probably be the most common way to do it.
If the people don't care anyway, and can't see beyond pro/anti-Trump and pro/anti-SJW BS (at their most "political") and the latest pop/tv BS (for the typical apolitical masses), then it doesn't matter if it gets credence for some small minority that cares.
As far I know, the classic knowledge was that agriculture raised nearly at same time from the fertile crescent & Egipt, China, Indus valley and central America.

I read about Gobekli tepe. It's a interesting ruins, not only because are very old. Also, shows a very advanced knowdlege about how sculpt stones. Take a look to the animal scupts on the stones. They are very detailed. They look really advanced for being too old.

Another interesting old ruins are :

- Yonaguni Monument . The last time that this ruins was over the water was 9000 years ago!

- Sumerged ruins of Gulf of Khambhat . Very old cities of Indus valley that are from 7000-9000 years. And if I remember correctly there was a urbanized zone big as new york itself!

- Tiwanaku . Where we can found something like a mass produced stones with a really awesome quality. Look like these pre-incan culture discovered Ford's production chain and apply over standarized stones that can put like a gigant lego, and not need any kind of cement to stay together!

The real truth is that we don't know very well these ancient eras. We assume that our ancestors must be more stupid that ours. But this is false. They are equal capable that any actual person. We only, don't know how they did it, or when (exactly) they did something or how many times something was rediscovered.
The only problem with that one is that the usual offer from these types is more like 10% and no salary.... ;)
As the site makes clear, nobody really ever knows if the market is going to crash. On the market valuation side they claim the current market is overvalued. But overvalued is a relative term... As you have to value versus something, and that something is usually something historical.

The way I see it though is the markets are a big voting machine.. and they're making predictions about the future and incorporating future expectations. With the current US administration still pondering over tax plans and infrastructure stimulus packages that are promised, market may be underpriced???
Dude, don’t be that guy. You know what they meant and everyone understood it.
This. Four years +/- ago the Macbook Pro was my go to laptop for serious work.

Note the "Pro" in the title (and, yes, I bang on about this a lot when provoked).

Apple, please: I work on batteries a lot. Start putting in BIGGER batteries, along with better connectivity (yes, I would like standard USB 2 and 3 connectivity without requiring dongles for, like, most things I want to plug in; yes, I would like an HDMI port or two built in so I don't need to carry dongles; yes, I would like a wired ethernet port because it's still a lot better than WiFi and, again, doesn't need yet another dongle; yes, I do require line in audio built in to the damn box, not just line out, and don't be forcing me to use a dongle to plug in a pair of headphones or I will become militantly angry).

Also, whilst I'm at it, more cores, please: 8, minimum. More memory as well. 32GB minimum, ideally 64GB. And 2 - 4TB storage.

I know, it'll weigh more: I don't care, I'm not puny. Even still, you used to be able to build decently powerful machines with good battery life without building the kind of ridiculous lumps that Dell, et al., shovel out the door as "desktop replacements". Please, remember how to do this, and stop building toy computers for undernourished hipsters with chronic muscle atrophy.

American companies sell products & services outside of the United States. Comparing American GDP with the aggregate value of the US stock-market is deeply misleading, especially given a historical comparison: foreign markets such as China have gained in relative importance over timeframe under consideration.

When looking at debt, one should not just observe the nominal amount, but also the interest rates, which have never been lower. Large companies can tap public debt markets and borrow billions at 1.5% over a timeframe of ten years. Risk is thus lower than the website suggests (at lower interest rates, a company can carry more debt). Additionally, returns to equity will be higher (the I in EBIT is smaller, so profits are bigger).
Ask HN: Need advice for changing career
Hi HN,
I'm a big fan of HN, and really interested in tech and I have learned a lot here. I'm 27 working as a Business analyst, I hate my job, and I want to get into «serious tech». I have a Bsc in IT management, I'm leaving my job at the end of this month to get another bachelor in Cs & business. (I'll have my business classes credited and will have manily CS classes) : The link is in french https://www.ulaval.ca/les-etudes/programmes/repertoire/details/baccalaureat-integre-en-informatique-et-gestion-b-sc-a.html#description-officielle&structure-programme

I have learned a lot on my job : Done some analysis, software requirements, some html, css, SQL queries, js (hated front end), 3d modeling, just basic tech that I learned on my own.

As I'm starting a new life in september I would love some advice from the HN community : What can I do to beacome a good developer while I'm at school, I want to make the most of it.
My long term goals are moving to montreal after my second Bsc. and start an MSC part time at Universite de Montréal in SC, and specialise in AI (even if I sucked at maths I guess I can better with Khan academy). Thanks!

Bit glib, but what is the problem? How does one traditionally measure market overvaluation?

Since the diamond is a 2D figure, then if you add time as a third dimension, you'd get a diamond-shaped cylinder. Add a blue-red spectrum color code, whereby blue is a time slice with a small surface area and red is a time slice with a large surface area, and you'd be able to plot the dangerously large Diamonds of Economic Failure over time in a way which clearly indicates when the danger signs were worst.
One issue I see here is how much of the S&P500 (or general market cap) are we attributing to a US-centric view of global companies? That is, if a company is "in the US" but economically are not.

Do you see the same or similar results browsing in windowed vs fullscreen modes?

(I rarely watch video on battery in a window, but I might start browsing fullscreen on battery if there's a benefit)
In Germany atleast thats a yes to all of those. They even put a crazy warranty on top that says that if any part of your machine has a defect in the first year, you get the full amount paid back + can keep the repaired notebook.
My guess would be that macOS shuts down all the additional composition features when full screen is activated so no need for live previews (or even rendering at all) of other windows, all those pretty bokeh effects, etc. Plus it probably means they can switch to a more efficient hardware decoding configuration as they can dump directly to the screen rather than into an application window?

I am just guessing though. Interesting that the difference is over 2 hours though, I wouldn't have guessed it would be that much.
I was forced when I was 17, to pick a private college, people didn't let me do what I wanted.

At same time, I was repeateadly promised by all 'adults' that I was very intelligent, and that getting into a college would ensure I would get a job, and it is why it was so important.

After lots of struggling I ended doing what people wanted, got in a college, and I had no way to pay for it, so I got into debt too. (and I hate debts, I used to never get into any debt at all).

Around time I graduated, the last crash happened, my country never really recovered from it...

I am 29 now, and I can't get unemployment benefits, because I was NEVER employed in first place, all work I list on my LinkedIn was by freelance-style contracts, I never found the promised jobs...

I did recently finished paying almost all my debts (I still have some, and my net worth is still negative).

But 'not borrowing money' wasn't really an option.
I'm also confused by the public debt number. It is far higher now than in 2008.
If it is solar powered, I don't see how it will be mined at a loss? Power is the number one cost, and we have a free unlimited supply of it.

What if I can afford to repay it? So what? My wife and I can easily afford the 1500$ a month minimums we have to pay(We pay more than our minimums in an effort to expedite the process) but while we do pay off these loans we also choose not to have children, or buy a house, or buy cars. I can say without a doubt that our educations have been valuable, but not in the sense that we learned have anything other than that higher education is a signaling scam designed to keep people poorer than ourselves outside of the working class.

I think the subtitle sets expectations pretty clearly:

> No one knows for sure, but there are indicators that can help us guess. We can chart these indicators to give us the illusion of foresight.
> This government is strongly against abortion of any kind, yet it passed a bill that will surely increase (illegal) abortion rates.

This isn't a very good argument. If you care about "abortion of any kind", then increasing the illegal abortion rate while decreasing the overall abortion rate is a perfectly sensible thing to do.
It's kind of funny seeing the development of large companies on blockchain tech. If they don't invest in researching the potential they can be left behind and everyone will criticize them for being against new tech, but if they do invest into researching it, then they're just chasing buzzwords. It's incredibly frustrating to read some of these comments when people speak up about their companies investing in new tech and being shunned for it.
'There are clearly people on this thread who think that it's possible to believe in the supremacy of white people over black people without all the ugly baggage of "white supremacy".'

No. There are clearly people on this thread who don't believe that statistical population differences tell us anything about supremacy.

Were we to throw off all the baggage of the entire phrase, the word "supremacy" still has an ordinary meaning in ordinary English. A statement about population differences is plainly not a statement about "authority, power, or status."

The only person in this thread who has argued that population differences imply supremacy is you. Over and over again. This is your word. I don't know how else to tell you that I don't even support your premise.

If you were anyone else, I would already have stopped arguing with you. But you are a person of authority in this space. Your tactics here are dangerous. I'm begging you to consider that.
That was a great read, thanks for that. Indeed that article really codifies a lot of the thoughts that have been floating around in my head.
Let's stop thinking about the planets, gravity is slowly killing us. We should park a space station near nice asteroid with needed resources.

>In the long term isn't it economically better to get people out of this welfare culture so they can provide for themselves? Gangs aren't formed to feed starving people, they form because the culture is broken.

Then it's the culture that needs fixing, not the welfare.

>Arguably it's the welfare money that significantly led to the culture breakdown in the first place by destroying economic and social structure.

Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, et al. have excellent welfare, but no "gangs" of that style. So it's not the welfare that causes that phenomena.

In contrast, most developing world hellholes have little to no welfare, and huge gangs, violence and destroyed economic structures issues.

In fact the "have the community provide for itself" is how you get support structures like the mafia, the cartels, etc, substituting a state that doesn't help its people.
This is the point - it is class conflict, Marx took this into account in his materialist conception of history. The antagonism of proletarians and bourgeoisie is the modern manifestation of the class war; slave rebellions the ancient manifestation.
Indeed! The plot twist is, that when the Earthers after hundreds of years rebuild their industrial base and go back Mars, the "martians" are long since dead.

You can read a few reviews about it, personally I find it "good enough", a little bit below Lenovo or Apple. But for me the Gold Standard currently are Surface Books regarding build quality, so take my opinion with a grain of salt if you dislike them.

I run Windows 10 and haven't installed Linux so far, but the hardware seems very standard. If you are interested I can try an Ubuntu Live Stick later.
I think both are true. Software engineers tend to vote Democrat, but they're also much more likely to be libertarians than the average person. Or even "alt-right" to be honest. Outside of a general leftward bias, I think we seem to be more prone to exploring ideological extremes.
Yes, standard newbie-friendly Vue is a very similar to ng1 but with lower barrier of entry. Unfortunately it comes with the same downsides as Angular 1. The normal data-binding leads to a lot of confusion.

In order to mitigate that it is recommended to use components with unidirectional bindings but at that stage it just becomes an inferior version of React IMO.
I like the idea. I think it could benefit from some transparency into the calculations.

'Public Debt' is a private asset. Why is having more wealth a bad thing?

The idea that being 'in credit' with a sovereign government with its own currency is a problem has been thoroughly debunked. Primarily by Japan.

Time to stop repeating the myth.
The parties take turns, advocating for ordinary people when they're the opposition, and serving special interests when they're in power.

On Linux, if you use a desktop environment that has many GPU-heavy effects, you will see a worse drop off.

On Windows 10, it doesn’t compare, as the most heavy effect DWM has to deal with is alpha blending (status bar transparency). Microsoft dropped all of Aero to save battery life. We’ll see how it fares once the new design elements (with blurred backgrounds) start appearing in future betas.

He's been termed as an NSA whistleblower though. How can one be a whistleblower on publicly available information?
What a surprise, there's a "D" next to everyone's name. I agree with their sentiment, but nobody with power is going to care in the least. Might as well be "Old Man Yells At Cloud."
I am ok with people questioning anything, the only situation when this is not ok when there is an emergency, and for those situation we should be prepared ahead, so there is no question what we have to do. I see that you agree that the differences are irrelevant. Or how I would say, the effect size is too small to be considered as a factor.

1. however any organization should have a purpose beyond sustaining itself and if it has no such, it should be dismantled immediatelly

2. probably true, but it's definitely more about the circumstances than about the individuals

3. agreed

4. this is as much about diagnosing behaviors as about expressing the said behaviors. my views of how minds work significantly differ from the views that use these diagnoses

5. i don't believe in "talented individuals". rest of this point is fine by me.

6. this whole thing is nonsense to me. sure, what you say is true, but as I said I don't believe in talent. I also don't believe that you need to be competitive to be productive. I don't think a team or an individual has to be competitive in any situation besides competitions, and those are actually quite rare. obviously, if someone believes they are competing when they are not or should not, that can be extremely destructive.

7. the grass is green, the sky is blue, and truisms are truisms. :)

8. sure, but to be empathetic is to express empathy when it's appropriate, which can be learned. some people learn it fast other's maybe never. but most often the reason for this is not because they were born like that, but because the circumstances didn't allow them to learn it.

9. diversity is good in ecosystems because it gives resilience. that's true again, in almost any sufficiently complex situation

10. depends what you mean by "balance" & "in the end". certainly i don't see it being nowhere balanced currently, i know lots of people who are forced into roles based on their gender (sometimes even by their sex) that they can not fulfill and it's just bad for everyone involved.

I don't think we are different enough for us to talk about it how different we are and definitely we are not different enough so we have the society built around these differences as it is right now. Maybe not where you live, and if you are lucky like that, be glad for it. Where I live, women are oppressed actively. They have to spend way more time to be accepted by their peers than men, they have to work way more than men to be accepted as productive. They have less chances to have say in important decisions. etc.
Sounds like the paperclip machine.
I think most markets will tend toward monopoly type structures.

manufacturing - economy of scale.

distribution/communication network effects. hub and spoke.

retail - shopping centers. retail hubs. cities. amazon.
There's really no reason why GDP should equal market cap. Companies are largely (especially now, since interest is so low) valued on future income, rather than current income.

Look at Amazon and Netflix, both tradin at 200x earnings. This is beacuse investors think they will earn a lot more in the future than they do now. Are they overvalued? who knows.
Is it possible that your peer group now is wealthier than your peer group as a child?

I don't think that's it. While it's obviously true that the very elite have always cared about and spent a lot of money on their children's schooling if definitely feel like it's becoming more and more of thing even among 'normal' people. Much of this is probably connected to the fact that options to choose your own schools are becoming more and more available in ways they haven't been in the past.
I think college degree is highly overrated, and higher education is very inefficient overall. But it is like a prisoners' dilemma, where all of the to-be-students would be better off if say 70% of them didn't go to college, but no individual has the incentive to decide so.

They wouldn't need to pay the enormous tuition, and as the job market would change (as far less people would have a college degree), the lack of degree wouldn't hurt them.
Only indicates it's moving, doesn't necessarily mean crashing.
> the thing we have to do is not borrow money we can't repay.

Literally nobody takes student loans that they are capable of repaying. Why would you, unless you could get a 0% APR?

It'd be nice if young people - possessors of great foresight and fonts of wisdom, all - could predict whether they will be able to repay the very substantial loans they're likely to rack up in college. We are not living in a world, or an economy, where making such a prediction is easy or straightforward.
Australia and NZ both have prostitution legalized with a bunch of European countries.

When I came to US I was amazed that guns and weed were legalized but not prostitution. Even in Vegas.

I'm sure there is plenty of underground prostitution in US where the workers have little rights and are probably abused.

I have no hopes that this will ever happen in trump administration but hopefully in 2020+ this could be a possibility.
