I don't think it's a good idea to guess what's over/undervalued. But equal weighting different industries is not quite the same thing. No matter how you weight things (by capitalization, by company, by industry, whatever) you are making assumptions about correlations. No dogma can tell you which is right a priori, because correlations change, especially in crises when it matters most.

Also...the total market, cap weighted, may be the optimal way to invest the whole world's capital - but that doesn't mean that it's the optimal way to invest, say, $50K. If you have $100B, say, you can't put it in a stock that's currently valued at $1B. But if you have $1000, you don't have that constraint.

Regardless of how the optimal portfolio may differ, when you're investing a relatively minute amount compared to the entire market, it's hard to imagine the optimum is not going to be different.

...You don't pilot your car under all the same constraints as an 18-wheeler, just because that's optimum for shipping large quantities.

Tufty hair, orange eyebrows, freckles and no roar: What t-rex was REALLY like
A good article, which should probably be read alongside the one about "vulnerability" by Leah Fessler [1] that it is responding to. Mining the links, I sniff an insidious confusion about what it means show "vulnerabilty". On its face, it sounds like "exposing your weaknesses". But in pro-vulnerability literature (e.g. [2]), it seems more like "displaying honesty and courage". Those are strengths, not weakensses.

An example is when someone is confident enough to say "Hey, I don't know about [X], can you explain it?". That confidence is good; but for it to work, it must be common knowledge that, since no-one understands everything the question displays keenness to learn (i.e. strength) and not ignorance (i.e. weakness).

[Pro tip: one of the most valuable, and easiest, life skills I learned as a young man was to say "I don't know" in a confident tone of voice.]

It is bad if vulnerability-talk teaches young people to display their weakness, since of course that will lead people to lose confidence in them. What else could it do? But it is good if they learn to turn problems into opportunities to strengthen themselves, and to do it openly so that their colleauges can help.

The title itself shows the worry. "Anxious about a speech" is not the same as social anxiety.

For me, if I'm anxious about a speech then I practice it. For a talk at a conference I usually practice about 10 times.

It's a lot more work than taking a beta blocker.

But notice that "Kick wants to become a telemedicine platform that makes it easy for nearly anyone who needs a confidence boost — before a first date, perhaps, or a big work presentation — to get a prescription for propranolol."

The reason I'm anxious is because I need to figure out how to piece everything together, and practice saying the words so they come smoothly and coherently. This sort of anxiety isn't fixed with a chemical confidence boost but by practice.

Certainly there are people with social anxiety where a drug helps. A friend of mine took beta blockers before a big test because they stressed him out so much.

The company which sells the drug also wants to be the company which provides tele-medicine services to people who want the drug; it will surely be hard to resist the inventive to work with doctors who over-prescribe.

Keccak is certainly not optimized for current consumer hardware, it's much faster in hardware implementations, and none of the currently available consumer hardware contains one (which means that when using it as proof-of-work or password hash it benefits miners/attackers with ASICs). Also, Keccak is not memory-hard.

"Wild Keccak" is not a "modern variant of Keccak". I'm not familiar with it, but it looks like an attempt to build a PoW scheme with ROM/RAM hardness using Keccak permutation.

Detroit's homicide rate is consistently in the top 3 in America -- 45 per 100,000 people in 2016:

http://www.fox2detroit.com/news/local-news/fbi-detroit-has-n...

For comparison's sake, Chicago's homicide rate in 2016 is 27.8:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/data/ct-homicide-spikes-c...

It's true that Detroit's homicide/violent crime number is at historic lows, but that tracks with the rest of the country.

https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/explorer/agency/MI8...

While Chicago has notably huge upticks from 2014 through 2016, they're also still at relative historic lows compared to past decades. And even with the dramatic upticks in 2015 and 2016 (crime rates appear to drop in 2017), Chicago is still well below Detroit's rates:

https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/explorer/agency/ILC...

I'm sure poverty and demographics, nor the police force and policy, aren't the only factors when comparing NYC and Chicago, although they are easier to quantify.

Nothing to do, we're stuck nickle and diming ourselves into irrelevancy.
That version came out almost a year ago, but I’ve only heard the complaint about performance recently.

However the battery would’ve been deteriorating that time, and it’s starting to get quite cold here which would only make things worse. I think I remember hearing that it would randomly shut off before that so I’m totally willing to believe the battery already had small problems.
If she wants to get out of engineering, that's something she can do at any point, on her own recognizance. She doesn't need my help to do it.

But, on the other hand, if she does decide she wants to continue as an engineer in our company, she's now added a kind of negative datapoint to my evaluation of her suitability, and for something that's not entirely within her control -- it's partly within mine. It's just a bad idea for her to do this.

It's not the only data point I have, and I tend to think that she'll actually do fine in engineering if she decides to continue down this path. But my job isn't to make her dreams come true, it's to find the people to make the best investments of the company's money in personnel.

Let's give a not-entirely-hypothetical. Let's say that Alice is the name of the engineer who expressed regrets about going into engineering (not her real name, to be clear), and Betty is the name of another, very similar engineer, who has expressed no regrets.

A tech lead spot is opening up in Alice and Betty's field. It's likely to be the only such spot in the near term. Alice and Betty are both seemingly good candidates for the job. But I have to be worried that whichever one I don't pick for the role will feel that they have no career path at our company, and quit.

Now, I could pick Alice. But I know that at least at one point in the past, Alice was regretting becoming an engineer. It sure would suck if I pick Alice, Betty quits, and then six months later Alice pursues her dream to go into business. Whereas if I pick Betty, and then Alice quits, well, maybe Alice was going to get out of engineering anyway.

I feel that I have to give some weight to this information I have about Alice. It's not that I dislike her or feel that she's weak for expressing doubts. It's that she's given me a reason to doubt that she'll be here long term, and if I'm going to invest a limited resource in her versus her peers, I want to do so with the most assurance possible that she'll be here long enough to make that investment worthwhile.

Ask yourself if it would be fair to Betty for me to pretend I didn't know this about Alice.
> it's not something where it magically (and mysteriously) gets slower as it ages

In some ways that does happen. As computers get more lint in them that often start heading thermal barrier’s and automatically throttling themselves without telling the user.

As for whether the fan makes it obvious I guess that depends on how loud the fan is. Or this could happen to a desktop that you just have placed out of the way enough that you can’t hear it well.
You're being pretty pedantic. People get the "day off" on national holidays, but there are still a few essential people who are required to go to work.

What is their end game though?

* Do nothing and people's phones degrade over time with an ever shortening battery life.

* Slow down phones so that people still get a full day charge with less battery.

Option B seems like it enables people to keep their phones longer when performance is annoying but battery is a showstopper. A notification might have been appropriate when it happens but then people would still complain that Apple is pushing users to replace their batteries.

Better is worse?

I don't think it makes sense to equate risk with volatility.
Say I have $1M. If I buy a cap weighted S&P 500 fund, I have about $40,000 in Apple, because it's about 4%. If I then switch to an equal weighted S&P 500, that $40K will be split up between 20 stocks with about $2K each. That is clearly more diversified with respect to company specific risk. It may or may not be worth it given increased fees, but you can't just dogmatically say it's equivalent to cap-weighted plus leverage. It's qualitatively different.
It might be a suggestion that the police don't often make arrests in the towers or offices on Wall St, despite the criminals there.

Or it might be that the subway underground isn't policed much?

Not sure.
You can easily build a comparable one for 1/4 of the price. Especially for what most Mac users do with their PC/laptops. Apple has always extraordinarily overcharged/taken advantage of their customers. Of course this is my opinion, and like I said I even used to recommend them to less than technical folks because it used to 'just work'.
I have no issues with separating the latest greatest development work from production ready code, I just think the way Git-Flow does it is needlessly complicated with multiple points of redundancy.

For example, the master branch is only ever updated when a release (or hotfix) branch is merged in to master, at which point you also tag master with the release version. Why do you need both a tag and a branch pointing at the latest release?

Instead of ignoring tags, why not use only tags to define releases? At which point you can get rid of master as defined by Git-Flow, and rename develop to master, so you just have a master branch. If the release process (QA, etc.) is lengthy, by all means create a release branch from master to avoid a change freeze. When ready for release, create the release tag on on the release branch and merge it back into master if needed.

Also the whole "feature/" and "hotfix/" prefixes on branch names feels pointless. Why not just call them all "change branches"? Anything that changes stuff, is a change branch. And how about we enforce descriptive names on branches like "add-2fa-support", "fix-login-issue", "update-font-awesome", and "change-search-behavior"? No prefixes needed and yet the purpose of the branches are perfectly obvious.

If I'm not sounding like a complete idiot here, please do have a look at Git Common-Flow [1]. I'm genuinely interested in hearing your feedback about it. Again, full disclaimer, I am the author of Git Common-Flow.

So, where can one go for a well-made Android tablet these days? Is Samsung the only game in town? The Amazon tablets aren't that great.

A few years ago, my parents bought Nexus 7 tablets to use as e-readers and for games. At the time, they were obviously the best small Android tablets and the purchase was a no-brainer. If they broke today, I'm not sure what I could recommend as a replacement.
This is obviously the right solution. It's what print newspapers and magazines do. Why isn't there a quality first-party ad platform? Is there a business opportunity here?

Too late. A few months after that kickstarter launched, I saw some glow-in-the-dark plants at Walmart. I figured someone else had beat them to the punch. Only once I got home did I realize they had been painted.
>just don't generally expect tech companies to always get it right, especially not the first time.

I think you're being far too generous to Apple. I won't repeat my previous comment on this thread, but the gist is they knew what they were doing, they knew rumors were swirling for years about slowing down older devices, and they certainly knew that slowed devices encouraged increased participation in their incremental update-oriented product roadmap.

There is no reason they couldn't have been transparent about this much earlier and, AFAIK, no technical reason this battery management software couldn't have been released earlier.

Given this context, to say they're just figuring it all out and suggest we should ignore their "mistake" and give them credit because they are now doing the right thing does seem a bit naive.
There are ways to try and mitigate it, but when I was really getting at is that if you use ANY device with the lithium ion battery long enough something like this will end up happening.

Some other phone may be designed so it takes an extra year and a half or two, but it will still happen one day.

Thank you for this explanation.

I was an excellent student. I also spent a lot of years as a homemaker. Such thought processes often aren't obvious to me and they often aren't explained well, making it easy for people to feel like "the boss is playing favorites" or whatever, which I really don't like to do personally but I am often not equipped to argue it if other people do it.
It's because everything is so cheap nowadays, because all the externalities that we worry about (pollution, resources running out, etc.) are left for the public and future generations to bear, with those who actually cause those externalities not paying their dues.

Unfortunately, I don't see this changing within our culture of mindless consumerism and a governance system based on what is essentially legalized bribery ("lobbying").
Why would they, if other people throw mud on their brand, respond by throwing more mud?

The proper response is to clean their brand. That’s what they do now. I think it is better late than never, but it also is somewhat (depending on how picky they will be on replacing those batteries, and on whether they will pay back people who replaced their battery recently because of this problem) classy.

I also think this is intended to, and will, stop the class action suits being filed before they have even started.
Because you have morals?

I'd like to see them and everyone else reintroduce removable batteries. If you're "in the field" all day, it's very convenient to have a second battery to swap out and those external battery powered chargers can be just as inconvenient as being tethered to an outlet.

I grew up playing minecraft and got into a medieval role-playing server. This RP server taught me a lot about having moderation responsibilities and politics between city-states of users. Also coming from a small town, it was fascinating talking with people all over the world (mostly Scandinavians though)

One server you might be interested in looking at is 2b2t[1], which is a vanilla server which had the same map since 2010 and has no rules -- Hacked clients are "allowed" since nobody gets banned for anything! Me and a large group of people from another forum tried creating a republic there and I learned a lot about how to organize large groups that would split off into peripheral bases in a very hostile environment. Reading stories like this really makes me nostalgic for those days!

If anyone knows any servers that have trading communities and mechanics like the OP, please let me know!

I think they could offer free battery replacement for affected models for the next year, and, more permanently, a 1 hour or less turnaround for battery replacement or a loaner program.
As a former SF resident now living in Manhattan I can definitely say I generally feel much safer in NYC than I did in SF. I’m guessing it’s a combination of the fact that most of Manhattan is so gentrified that there are few pockets of poorer communities where gang-related activity can thrive and the number/visibility of police is comparably much higher. Taxes and CoL are comparable, so I definitely feel like I’m getting more for my $$ as far as security and safety goes.

I get it. If she doesn't like computer science though, maybe the termination will be part of her process to finding something she enjoys.

With Android you are not necessarily forced into a locked-in ecosystem. I use a Google-free Android phone. I can watch movies and listen to music, talk to people and chat. And I'm free to take my data and move to another device.

So, yes, extracting all of your data Apple is not withholding from you, getting another device, and then selling the Apple devices is what I would start with.

Also, I would keep an open eye for neither Android nor Apple devices. The Librem 5 might become an excellent alternative.
Let's be clear, though: I'm not her boss. She's two levels below me and not in my direct chain of command, currently. I'd actually be less down on it if I were her boss, and she was speaking just to me, seeking advice or something. There's a sort of "Let's have an open discussion about career stuff" venue in which you kind of agree to suspend judgment.

Just randomly dropping that factoid in a group discussion where it's difficult or impossible for me to probe deeper and understand what's behind it is not a great idea. That makes it easier for someone to take a bad impression from it.

But, also, yeah, I agree, your boss is never fully your friend. I like a lot of the people who work for me, and in other circumstances I think I could be friends with most of them, but part of my job is to evaluate them, including negatively. There is an art to expressing vulnerability in a way that creates intimacy without making a person question your abilities. You can't just assume that everything that you say will have only positive consequences.
