So, until recently I was employee #1 at TipRanks who was founded to answer the question "Are Analysts bullshitting us?" - https://www.tipranks.com

TipRanks has loads of great and interesting information - literally what _any_ analyst ranks on _any_ stock since 2009 - huge amounts of verified data from multiple objective sources.

> You could possibly beat the market by only buying stocks with sector outperforms or buy ratings and selling in one year.

This is true in theory (and very easily benchmarkable with TipRanks). If you follow the top 25 analysts you can beat the market pretty regularly (easily confirmed with a regression test).

You might be surprised, but you won't beat it by that much and your beta will be higher.

Also, Marketbeat has maybe 1/3rd of all the ratings and a study based on their data would be worthless anyway. Basing a study on their bought data would not be indicative of a whole market trend. The data source is simply not a reliable one.

The average analyst does not outperform the market (they lose), the average analyst says "buy" 85% of the time and are wrong most of the time about outperforms. The average analyst is pretty bad. Some analysts like Mark Mahaney https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/mark-mahaney or https://www.tipranks.com/analysts/jonathan-atkin?benchmark=n... are pretty decent.

In general - be very wary of recommendations - I've not found analyst opinions a good indicator of market performance over time (and I worked in a company that ranked analysts for 5 years). I have found however that combining that with several other signals (news sentiment, bloggers, insider opinions etc) can create strategies that outperform the market (TipRanks sells such strategies to big organizations).

I've sent my old employer an email to see if they can open some data regarding this - and reproducing the above study with real market data.
Firefox on Linux also displays it as 93.184.215.34 on hover.
Alum here. Throwaway.

The value they add it limited at best. The worst mistake they made was broadening the program past NYC and Boulder to take money from corporations and dilute the mentor/partner pool. My advice to other founders is to stay far away.

You don't explain how "disassemble" is useless, but the rest of the things you mention are extremely superficial.
I wonder, why is it an extension for a specific browser instead of a blacklist that can be used in any browser that has a blocker?
Point is, you don't know which were the top ten until after the fact.
Yea, I know you can configure it, but by "proper", I mean that it is automatically configured, and that the buttons can automatically change their action depending on the context. I believe it works this way in the Steam version of the game, but when I tried a few months back, it didn't work that way in the GOG version.
I guess part of the model is to bank fees from multinational companies that want to look innovative.
No matter how big money people make and how comfortable their way of life is, they always think themselves as lower-middle-class and claim they are on the verge of financial difficulties.
This isn't about presence of ads. They are there either way. I will be looking somewhere else either way. This is purely about annoying the user.

> I disagree, the feature is there, that someone just doesn't like how to access it. Saying something doesn't exist / isn't allowed is a false statement if it does exist. The requirements for being allowed were not being discussed.

You are not allowed to park here. And by that I mean you are 100% capable of parking here, parking here exists as an option, but you will be fined $75.

It's valid to see turning off the screen as "not allowed".
The author has probably heard of it, but deemed the solution as not being good enough by their criteria to be worth mention.

TipRanks was founded (I'm no longer affiliated) to solve that. Analyst opinions are extracted from real world news rather than paid for.

The point was to hold analysts accountable for their actions by objectively collecting them. TipRanks sells this data and I'd love to run a study on it but unfortunately I no longer has access.

The Marketbeat data set used here is tiny in comparison and only consists of a third of analyst recommendations if I remember it correctly.

Bloomberg has a much better dataset which is nearly as good as TipRanks'.

Again, I can't really make claims on their behalf (I'm employed at Peer5 (YC@W17) at the moment and am no longer affiliated).
Also notmuch took a long time to support address completion based on your email index, à la Gmail. Mu had this from almost the beginning.

That said, I love both. They are excellent search engines for mutt. Those, along with mbsync make up a wonderful email setup.

I have recently transitioned to Gnus, that now supports notmuch [1]. I don't like the notmuch Emacs frontend. The mu one, mu4e, is great though.

More to the point, the standard train service between Edinburgh and London is less than 4:30, and around £50 each way booking a few weeks in advance. I do this fairly frequently, and generally it takes the same amount of time as flying, while being a fair bit more convenient. Rail is pretty good :)
I think the same is true for comments: they need to be [dead] before you get a vouch button. Additionally, you have to click into the individual comment to see the vouch button.

Wait, how did this threat get flagged?
I'm not against privatizing internet.
I'm sure it wouldn't have been this useful if it wasn't for private companies.

I'm just saying the notion that private companies (on the internet or not) have almost zero responsibility and we're subject to their whim is wrong.

I guess that's where the rule of law is supposed to enter the discussion.

Must be older vehicles.

Seat belt installation has been mandatory for a number of years via EU legislation (though each country had their own timetable I believe all do now require new vehicles to be fitted with seat belts).

Seat belt use is mandatory on coaches (all passenger carrying vehicles), and no exception would allow for permanently lying down... the only coach exception is if temporarily out of seat.

Air bags are not mandatory other than in the cabin.

Required fitting directive (member states applied it in 2006): http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=LEGISSUM:...

"I think one of the biggest myths about tech in general is that it's here to help people."

It does... if it didn't, it wouldn't exist. Tech is a net positive for society. You typed that on a machine that gives you access to the world's information in seconds at minimal cost. Efficiencies drive down costs which benefits society as a whole. Can you imagine how much your computer/phone would cost if the production of it wasn't automated?
I believe you have a survivor's bias here – I have kind of the same track, I developed my initial skills while living with parents, being single and without having too much social interactions, so I was able to dedicate incredible amount of time to all this stuff.

But this is not always the case. Very often when you realize that you need to change something, you already work, and you have some obligations, so you have to keep up your work no matter what, and you might have not that much of energy in the evenings. Also, relationships can take a lot of energy from you as well, or you might just (surprise!) have another hobby, and you don't want to sacrifice it.

So, that's all can be broken as "not enough motivated", but seriously, does everybody want to change their life to become a top programmer?
And this is even without mentioning that not everybody can develop skills (and create good-enough self branding to present it) to be able to be hired by Google, or other big corps, which will pay for your relocation.

The last point I want to say that it is very hard to develop yourself without understanding how -- a lot of people don't read HN, they think that people working in Google, FB, etc are some semigods, and people around them seem to agree about that -- it is like another bubble, where nobody knows how to actually get into this SV one.

I think it's time to shift to damage control mode with global warming. If we were gonna stop polluting and filling the atmosphere with CO2 it would have happened 20 years ago.

The economic incentives are too strong to follow the rules. It's like OPEC, whenever there's a "production cut" everybody just lowers their numbers and shifts product to the black market.

It's easy enough to throw some dust into the upper atmosphere to cool the planet a bit. Volcanoes do it all the time so we know it's safe and it works. I don't know why were still talking about the nearly impossible idea of getting everyone to abandon fuel when we could spend a miniscule fraction of the time and human effort to just launch some crap into the atmosphere.

Frankly, I don't think warming the planet a bit is a bad idea at all. The Earth is in an interglacial and without human interference most of our major cities are due to be covered in half a mile of ice in the next 2-100 thousand years. This sounds like a long time but besides nuclear war it's probably the biggest "near term" threat to our species.

Global warming is being conflated with people who don't want the environment being messed with. That's why all the proposed solution involve not using fossil fuels when its pretty easy to cool the Earth with other means if we really wanted to.
Ah, thanks -- hadn't seen that before.
Also, can confirm that TipRanks never "correct"ed any errors - which often resulted in "cease and desist"s and legal threats. No analyst who loses money likes a site saying it like it is.

The legal threats held to merit - but to be fair they were very scary as a young startup before partnerships with E*Trade, Nasdaq and others started.
Buses like this should be fitted with accelerometers, and drivers be rewarded for good driving. Actually the same applies to ordinary buses, a careful driver makes the journey much more comfortable.
Plus time to get between airport and downtown and to go through security at the airport, which has to be at least two hours. So $120 for four hours? Well worth it to many people.

To be frank these videos should be public.
> people only remember the few predictions that have come true, and forget everything else, such as "Florida will be underwater" from the 00s or "we're all gonna freeze to death" from the 70s.

I deny your premise. These two predictions are two of the most remembered, precisely because they were mistaken and thus politically useful to the party in power in the US today.

> There is perverse incentive to come out with these outlandish claims...since the timeline is often decades in the future

Your aggregator proposal would do little to change the incentives. The reckoning would still be decades away, it would just be more convenient for the future fact-checkers.
Do you mean https://mediagoblin.org/, or something else?
In case it's not already apparent, there's a business opportunity here for someone to automate "set up an S3 bucket and host videos in it" as an app that uses an API key, so that you simply provide the key to the app and it manages your video collection, gives you a UX to it, and charges you a fee per month.
I used to ssh to my server and run mutt from my phone, back when I had a phone with a hardware keyboard. That's a lot less satisfying when half your screen area is taken up with a software keyboard in order to drive your mail client, while you're trying to read and process mail.

So no, I'm not willing to give up having a "native" client, or at least something web-based.

Honestly, notmuch would make an incredible backend for a webmail client, ideally with a mobile-first interface.
Risks Are Rising While Low Risks Are Discounted
To be fair, looking at real data if you look at the 20 best analysts _one year ago_ they made a pretty decent margin (the article doesn't cover this). I can see if I can dig up some old charts if you're interested.
I don't find Facebook useful for much and find that it brings the worst out in people, therefore I don't use it.

I do find Google useful but choose to use it very sparingly - no search, no mail, no maps. I do use Drive, Docs, and Photos (for now).

The problem I'm running into is some of Google's services are so exceptional compared to alternatives that it's becoming problematic to use alternatives. Maps is an example of this. In some ways Chrome is an example of this (when considering it as a platform/OS instead of just a browser).

I get the irony that their services are exceptional because of the data they collect, but that's sort of irrelevant.

But at the end of the day, I ask myself how much this matters in the absence of a VPN at home and on mobile when ISPs and cell providers are partnering up with advertisers and government agencies.
You can also do Boston to DC as an overnight but I don't think they have any sleeper cars on that route. (Even with Acela, few people do that full route.)

Key takeaway:

> We can also say that if the above things go badly, it would seem that gold (more than other safe haven assets like the dollar, yen, and treasuries) would benefit, so if you don’t have 5-10% of your assets in gold as a hedge, we’d suggest that you relook at this. Don’t let traditional biases, rather than an excellent analysis, stand in the way of you doing this (and if you do have an excellent analysis of why you shouldn’t have such an allocation to gold, we’d appreciate you sharing it with us).
This person is amazing and makes me annoyed for not giving back to the infosec community like he/she/it clearly does.

Thanks, securedog!
You would have to discriminate between the science (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-07536-7), which says (emphasis added):

"The *apparent* temperature peak during such humid-heat waves can be greater than 55 °C"

, and the journalism, which drops the "apparent", turning some technical unit that readers don't know into one that they do know, but also hugely changing the statement.

Apparent temperature (defined in http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/1520-0450%281979..., which isn't behind a paywall) can already be around 50 degrees Celsius if it is 32 degrees Celsius at 90% humidity (so, it is similar to wind chill factor (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill) or heat index (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index), but not only compensates for physical effects, but also for physiological ones)
What makes you think they haven't?

In the DC area, there is a single provider of taxi service from Dulles Airport (IAD).

Any other taxi service trying to pick up fares from IAD are violating the contract between the Metro Washington Airport Authority and Dulles Taxi.
Can confirm from my time at TipRanks that this data was useful for trading strategies.
And, is there a way to unflag it? Makes no sense...
>One of the main points of design patterns is composition over inheritance.

One of the opening pages of the Design Patterns book (the GoF book) has "Prefer composition over inheritance" (or words to that effect) as the only sentence on that page, right in the middle of it. My guess is that the GoF authors did that to emphasize the importance of that advice, maybe due to having seen too many brittle inheritance-laden hierarchies.

I mentioned this to a client I was consulting to, a couple of years ago, after I saw that he seemed to be using inheritance too liberally, and maybe without thinking if it was needed and the right thing to use for his specific needs. He did get the point, and changed his code from then on.
But people have legitimate desires as consumers without necessarily wanting to be competitors, and without necessarily waiting for the market to evolve an alternative. You seem like a smart person, surely you know that while other platforms besides Youtube exist the network effects the obtain on a large platform have huge commercial value.

I get that you don't like government force and the unintended consequences that often follow from the creation of laws, but you seem oblivious to the fact that markets have externalities and problems of their own, and are not by themselves sufficient for the operation of a society.
An YouTube clone is expensive. TPB only hosts simple HTML pages (they no longer have torrent files, and even those were just a few KBs), not files with hundreds of MBs or more.

As others said, the Internet Archive may be a good option for these videos. I wouldn't mind writing a system for backing them up to archive.org, but I'm not sure how would I detect them. Marking those videos requires the user to know they should be marked, which just moves the question to how they would know.

It's hilarious watching people struggle with this. The whole point is that you have to think about it - it depends on philosophy.

In other words, it's all in your head. A real, physical, "negative apple" does not exist in this world. Only the human philosophical concept of "owing someone apples" or similar such things. That's the guys' point. It doesn't matter whether you can bring representations of negative apples because those all depend on a philosophical bedrock.

Oh what nonsense. I travel on Caledonian Sleeper all the time and while the breakfast is perhaps not amazing (although its fine) you only have to exit the train immediately at stops that are not the ultimate destinations (like London, Glasgow etc) there you routinely have up to an hour to get off. The bedding criticism is also odd as it's all white cotton sheets and pretty comfortable. Also Caledonian Sleeper has ordered new coaches and are investing a lot in the service. See: https://www.sleeper.scot/news/85-newtrains The sleeper service is an amazing service and I love the ability to spend £100 and get a room saving a packet on a London hotel. I can arrive in London at 6.30/7.00am head to meetings & then be back in Scotland in 4 hours.
Yeah. When I looked initially, I didn't go far enough into checkout.
I would really want to see a comparison with the previous generation Xeons, which do drop in price much faster than the consumer CPUs. I feel like higher-core ones will beat 1950X at tasks that multithread well.

Examples:

18-core Xeon E5-2686 v4 = $450 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/172668300615)

18-core Xeon E5 2695 V4 ES = $610 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/272620269793)

20-core Xeon E5-2698 v4 ES = $745 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/282579817803)

22-core Xeon E5 2699 V4 ES = $920 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/201883329486)

24-core Xeon E7-8890 v4 ES = $999 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/352113502495)
Hey, I'm no longer affiliated with any site. If you're looking for data - I'd compare the TipRanks data set as well. I've found it to be a lot bigger than MarketBeat's and fairly more accurate. Data collection is automated through natural language processing and cross-validated with machine learning techniques that guarantees a much higher accuracy.

I'm not sure who you should reach out to there - but I think support [at] tipranks.com should work.

Things might have changed since I parted ways with TipRanks though - but you probably want both data sets for comparison.
>> Algebraic and topological structures seem to manifest themselves readily within nature. I should think infinities provide greater concern.

So basically what you are saying is that, we can't be so certain that we humans invented math. Math is there, structures were there to be discovered ? Why is there such a thing as monster group ? We named those things, but if we didn't exists, it would still be there in the abstract world ? This is what is bugging me lately, I can't decide if math was invented or not. Some parts may be invented, but some parts may be discovered.
Alum here. TS Chicago 2015.

Best experience of my life.

Biggest difference between YC and TS (from what I hear) is that TS spends much more time hands-on mentoring.

I had the honor to have ~60 1on1 meetings with very respectable entrepreneurs and investors during the program. In addition to very high quality workshops and inspiring talks almost every day. Compare that to the weekly office hours at YC (again, through multiple grapevine branches).

I personally deem the TS experience the most accelerating for my personal career, as well as our start-up.

I wrote about my experience and my lessons learned here: http://www.techstars.com/content/accelerators/lessons-busine...

I have heard mixed stories from other Techstars chapters, especially the corporate sponsored ones. But I can vouch for Chicago :)

Actually, there are two amateur spacelaunch projects working out of Copenhagen - both of them because of Peter Madsen. Copenhagen Suborbitals was his original setup, from which he was ousted several years ago, reportedly after repeated clashes of opinion and personality (Madsen is known to have a temper which occasionally flares out of proportion).

Copenhagen Suborbitals and Madsen's new venture, Madsen Spacelab, were set to perform test launches in the Baltic later this month - both having been assigned the same area and different timeslots on the same day. The sub was planned to sail towards the site - based off the island of Bornholm - this weekend. It is now probably safe to assume that only the Suborbitals launch will be going forward.
> But anyone could really do that just following simple online guides/examples

That's simply not true. There's a huge sea of bad (out of date or simple ignorance) and non-working examples for all sorts of technology, which is amplified by any tech stack. Being able to sift and qualify that you're doing the right thing, or even starting over after a lengthy failure is not a common trait.
