Definitely interesting to think about.

My current take is that even if the tiniest minority of activity exists outside of low-turnover ETFs, continued advancements in automated algorithmic trading (whether it's ML or regression or something that hasn't been invented yet) will get us closer to the perfectly efficient market and the only impact to low-turnover ETFs will be reduced volatility.

Another possibility is that so much money gets parked in passive ETFs that the valuation of the indexed stocks becomes more tied to the influx of money than to the underlying enterprise value, then once the influx of money slows down the stocks revert to enterprise value and start to consistently depreciate, triggering a massive sell-off. If that happened it'd probably be bigger than the subprime mortgage crisis, right?

What's your take?

Wow. This is a really sad story. I'm really sorry for you and hope you can get over this and find a better partner.

Are you forced by the courts to pay her that $4K+/month? Because it would probably be better (not only for you, which is obvious, but for her) if you didn't.
Just to add a note that I updated recently and the mousewheel scrolling behaviour stopped and sent up/down terminal history commands instead. If this happens, there is a thread on the tmux github issues with some workarounds.

I’m pretty new to using tmux as more than a basic screen replacement, but it seems flexible enough that almost anything you want can be configured.

Which I could say there’s more to it than that but yeah...pretty much.

Except if she wasn’t sure she didn’t want to settle down...she shouldn’t have. We didn’t have kids until after we were married. And even still I’m younger than her and I prefer being “settled down” or whatever you want to call it. She betrayed the commitment we had without ending it first. She tried to have her cake and eat it too.
I work as a developer in enterprise environment since 4 years. So far I didn't encounter any of the above issues. However we have a set of other issues mostly connected to maintainability of a code base or refactoring of legacy code. I would love to see a set of interview questions that target our issues too.

(Our best approach so far was to test people with the gilded rose kata and see how they manage the problem without reimplementing it from scratch)
I would say that this is the middle ground between GitHub Pages and full blown proper CMS (e.g., WordPress).
It's a spectrum. Some people are on one end and others on the opposite. Some in the middle.

Thank you.

And agreed. Makes me wonder how many are struggling out there with something similar. Tons I’m sure. Not only on a romantic level, but in all types of friendships and relationships. Social media is not helping our shallow human tendencies.

Can you point me to anything you’ve ever made so I can shit on it too?
Feel for you. Can't imagine what to do in that situation. Can totally imagine how social media enabled a lot of that. I'm in a similar situation where my wife joined me in China because my job is over here. She's making a go of it focusing on studying and learning the language at the local university. She's really focused hard, all I ever see her do is study. So far she's happy, but sometimes I worry that she'll become unhappy. We're on the lookout for opportunities to develop healthy relationships with other people so that we're not alone (especially her, as she's new in this country).

Think it's really important to get involved in a local community where you can forge high-quality long-term relationships with emotionally healthy people whenever you move to a new place. Loneliness can kill you otherwise. For me, it'd usually be a church where I can focus on developing myself personally and spiritually, as well as bonds with others in a really non-judgmental environment. Realize that's not for everyone, and that many people actually experience church to be a very judgmental place. Sorry to anyone who's been through that.

Sounds like you're still supporting her financially. Don't know if you're hoping to get her back, or if you've given up and cut her loose. It's possible that the only thing you can do is cut her loose at this point because you're only acting as an enabler. I am not a psychologist. Wish you well. edit: realize from the other comments, maybe alimony is involved. If so, very sorry to hear. IANAL, but that sounds like a really raw deal where you should consult a lawyer, if that's the case?
I bounce between forgiving and forgetting - and telling her to fuck off.

How Amazon is spreading its wings in India
> For instance, the fact that the latest Supreme Court Justice was backed by $25 million "dark money" is a spit in the face of democracy.

Okay, let's break this down a bit. What you're saying is:

1. A private individual (or collection of private individuals; we don't know) spent $25m promoting their views about an important political issue of the day.

2. This is bad.

That's an interesting argument, but do keep in mind that you're describing is about as pure exercise of the first amendment as you're likely to find. The founders would recognise a wealthy, powerful individual using the best communication technology available to spread their views, possibly anonymously, because that's precisely what they did, and precisely what they aimed to protect. Even if you think it's a good idea not to let people have an unrestricted voice to speak about political topics (and I'm unconvinced, to say the least), that's super not going to happen in the US of all places.

> He should have been investigated immediately over that by the FBI/an anti-corruption agency.

Investigated for what? Unless you're imagining some sort of blatant, explicit quid pro quo, any law you're hoping to find a violation of would itself be ridiculously unconstitutional.

Campaign finance reform is a great idea, but you need to keep in mind that in the US you can restrict money donated to campaigns, but you can't restrict money spent speaking about political issues. (Which I think is probably for the best, given how many people would like to silence Greenpeace, the ACLU, pro-choice groups, the New York Times, etc., etc. Especially these days...)
Given that even old pagan temples got repurposed (like for example the Pantheon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome ), I don't think that statement holds in a general sense.

There might have been local destruction by Christians but not a systematic destruction lead by the church.

Often, old buildings were used as resource for new buildings as the common people didn't regard those old buildings as anything else than a quarry.

I downvoted you for;

1) "This communistic nonsense should just go." This is taking the question to an extreme POV you want, not where the discussion was.

2) "Who do you think employs all the people?" Its worth recognising small businesses employs about 50% of the population and is contributing more new jobs than corporates these days.

>Normal banks that hold money. 100% reserve banking.

Loans and Home mortgages would be impossibly difficult to get. You do realize that when we get a loan from the bank, the loan amount minus the down-payment exists only electronically? The balance is supposed to be wiped out if we repay the loan but that never happens.

I am not saying fractional reserve banking is perfect but what are the alternatives?
Yeah I mean she wants max free time so lucky me, I get 5 evenings a week with my child and weekends. Basically a free babysitter at this point while I work.

The funny thing is that the IG clique she’s in is ALL stay at home moms...being a mother is a big part of their identity. The irony that they are all completely not present in their realities with their children is totally lost on them. You really couldn’t write this shit.
One thought experiment occurs to me: would you rather be born to a random pair of parents in the world now, or a random pair of parents 15,000 years ago? This seems like a very personal way to phrase the central question: do you believe that humans were happier then or now?

Granted, I suspect most people reading this would have the same gut reaction as me: to choose being born to random parents now. But how much of that is influenced by our experiences with and dependence on modern society? Most readers of this comment are probably well above the current global average of quality of life according to any plausible definition. Perhaps people currently living in poverty would have different gut reactions to the proposal.

It’s outside the scope of this article, but the question could be extended into the future, where we have even less data (none). Would you rather be born to random parents now, or random parents some period in the future?
It's not though is it... You know, because there aren't actual laws about it.

That isn't an argument for why his advice is bad or why he's a bad person, though. That's just an explanation of why people are jealous of him and an argument that people can't reliably repeat the success he's had with financial blogging.

He's not saying people can, though. He's giving financial advice based on something he achieved following a plan when he was making $67k/year, years before he ever even had the blog.

Also, shovels and jeans to gold rush miners?? Pretty sure people can still make $67k/year. Pretty sure people can also still make simple investments, live frugally, pay off their mortgage and retire early. It's simple math. Comparing that to taking advantage of gold rush miners is quite a stretch.

This is also true for a lot of older people new to the internet. My mother doesn’t understand that her laptop can do more than browse Facebook and buy things on Amazon. Her bookmarks are the random pages of her friends. Her primary source of news is fast becoming whatever click bait she sees there.

I tell her not to trust Facebook, I explain how she is their product and they exploit her but she doesn’t listen.
It's not a partisan. The House of Representatives was unanimous in passing the Self Drive act, which proposes sweeping and permissive regulation to empower the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles. It's like the only thing everybody in Washington agrees on.

Conversely, there are plenty of anti-technology people on the left. I follow Urban planning, there are strong advocates for more traditional forms of transportation such as cycling and trains, and those are generally regarded to be left of centre views. Environmentalism is a deeply conservative movement, but in the twisted times we live in, those people for some reason fall left of centre.
Ahh, youngsters.. :-) I am not talking about Clang, I am talking about EGCS, to quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection :

"As GCC was licensed under the GPL, programmers wanting to work in other directions—particularly those writing interfaces for languages other than C—were free to develop their own fork of the compiler, provided they meet the GPL's terms, including its requirements to distribute source code. Multiple forks proved inefficient and unwieldy, however, and the difficulty in getting work accepted by the official GCC project was greatly frustrating for many.[17] The FSF kept such close control on what was added to the official version of GCC 2.x that GCC was used as one example of the "cathedral" development model in Eric S. Raymond's essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

In 1997, a group of developers formed Experimental/Enhanced GNU Compiler System (EGCS) to merge several experimental forks into a single project.[17][18] The basis of the merger was a GCC development snapshot taken between the 2.7 and 2.81 releases. Projects merged included g77 (Fortran), PGCC (P5 Pentium-optimized GCC), many C++ improvements, and many new architectures and operating system variants.[19] EGCS development proved considerably more vigorous than GCC development, so much so that the FSF officially halted development on their GCC 2.x compiler, blessed EGCS as the official version of GCC and appointed the EGCS project as the GCC maintainers in April 1999. With the release of GCC 2.95 in July 1999 the two projects were once again united."

While I hate consumerism, I wonder why you say that it has caused our loneliness. Wouldn't it be possible to buy large numbers of board games, and other social goods while not becoming isolated? It actually seems to me that consumption is for the most part social. I mean, if I spend all day at home on reddit, what do I need to buy besides cereal and soylent powder? But if I'm going out all the time, I'll buy clothing to keep up with the local fashions, I'll buy wine to bring as a gift, ect. Even the constant home improvement, that basement cinema and the pool room, are initially understood as social purchases. "We need this patio so we can have parties." "I'm gona invite all my friends over and we'll play X-Box."
No, we haven’t gone to court, no alimony or payments - luckily she wants to avoid it because her parents had a very messy divorce in her childhood.

I pay for her because honestly I’m scared of the lifestyle my child will live. She doesn’t work. She makes no money. She would be on the streets honestly. Doesn’t speak to either of her parents.

I recently emptied our joint bank account save $100. She flipped. Every time I cut her off more she gets more and more spiteful. So I’m in the process of cutting the lease on her house. Of selling the car. It’s just gonna take time, but I’m trying to avoid the court as well. Not that I have done literally anything wrong - I’m not scared of a judge ruling anything in her favor. I just want to avoid any chance of being in that situation though. Seeing I have about a lot more per year more to lose than she does...
De gustibus non est disputandum.

I've found javadocs enormously helpful when I was learning Java 20 years ago. But then again, I also like man pages and use them a lot.

If I'm looking for option "-e" of the test command, here's what I would do:

$ man test

and then "/-e". Searching within a document is a commonly required skill in so many situations that I don't even think twice when applying it in man pages.

Of course, you could also just define a bash function for the functionality you're after like so:

mano() {
man "$1" | grep -A1 -- "$2"
}

and then do

$ mano test -e

or something along those lines.
Lately I have forwarded obviously wrong WhatsApp messages to my closest ones, just to impart in then that every forwarded messages is NOT true or happening in real world.
I'm going to describe this in terms of gold; as a metaphor, you can replace gold with any other non deflating asset. There's a limited amount of gold. If you could atomically store your cash as gold yet still pay with it directly through debit, then you don't really need cash. But man does not survive on gold; so you must spend the currency

By settle in value I don't mean settle on a precise fiat price. Because I'm thinking post-fiat. This may be idealistic, I know, but try to think from that perspective. By stable I mean the value of BTC shouldn't double every two months. Unless the goods it buys are becoming twice as cheap due to technological advancement

There may be weird implications of having your mortgage be in terms of an asset that's non deflating, where if the economy is causing wages to go down as cost of living decreases it can become infeasible to pay for one's house in a year. Two things: banks can come up with a bank-coin which should inflate in order to stimulate long term loans, & maybe people should avoid debt. I personally live with my only debt being my mortgage

So maybe BTC isn't a good currency to take out a loan for, but in that case if you can have the bank agree to a dogecoin loan it work outs. I only mention doge because it's an inflating cryptocurrency originally based on BTC, but ideally the inflating currency would be segwit so that one can make atomic payments to that currency with their BTC. Kind of going on a tangent here in this stream of consciousness but the core of this idea is that you can pay with BTC for something in a different unit, currently loans are in the unit of USD, but perhaps in the future loans will be in terms of a 'platonic housing price according to some index' unit
Also interesting is that the reason given in the Wikipedia article why he lived on top of a pillar was not to be closer to God but to be further away from people that would otherwise disturb his daily routine.
While I generally agree that members of Congress listen more to lobbyists than to constituents, the idea that money flows this transactionally is just absurd.

You yourself have probably given to a member of Congress because they did something rather than so that they will do something. I gave to a member of Congress because they spoke out for Gun control, not because I called them and told Them that if they speak out I will write them a check.

That’s what makes this kind of uncontextualized data pretty disheartening. You’re showing some correlations, conflating it with causation, and disaffecting the electorate (which, in turn makes the lobbyists more powerful)

As an answer to bailouts:

That was largely not a Republican nor free-market-supporting move if I recall correctly. While new and more innovative companies would likely take the bankrupt companies' place, there would be a harsh transition period in which blame would be placed on the Democratic leadership at the time.

Plus, regardless of partisanship, it's tough even for those who support free markets to knowingly thrust thousands of constituents into immediate unemployment, both morally and for re-elective purposes.

How Economies Commit Suicide, Starring America and Britain as Romeo and Juliet
To be honest, I think I got lucky that I first became a frequent web user pre-Facebook, as I can see that I might have ended up a similar way. A decent sized chunk of my early web usage had some form of social element, but chat rooms, web forums and news aggregators don't have the same stigma as social media, perhaps because the discussions revolve around subjects someone is interested in, rather than discussions surrounding the people using that service. HN is a continuation of that early online behaviour, for me at least. However, if I'd grown up in the post-Facebook era, would my Internet activity gravitate towards social media for online discussions? I don't know for sure, but it seems plausible.

I'd say the larger question is, how do we let people know there's online communities outside Facebook that they might enjoy just as much or even more? Perhaps Reddit is a useful gateway out of the social media bubble, there's a huge range of communities on Reddit, it'd be hard not to find something someone was interested in.

A lot of it has a lot to do with what it is like to be stay at home and being socially isolated, imo. The problem would exist without IG still, it would just manifest differently. They could be real life friends and it could be exactly the same thing. When one of you is at home and the other most of the time at work and both of you have completely different lifestyle, the relationship with people who understand you and are there is more alluring.

Except the one sided polygamy thing, that is plain old cheating. Through, I don't get why you did not divorced? You would still have to play for children, unless you fight to have them with you (or dual care), but chances are it would be less then you pay now. She is in early 20s you say, so it is not like she would be really dependent on your money cause she sacrificed career or something. Frankly, it sounds like the best thing for her would be for you to stop paying her bills.
