Ok. Great stock earnings far exceed great money market years. And vice versa for losses...you're geared for the good times. But you don't want advice, so I'm a little confused at the redirect.

If this was 2007, you would be screwed for the short term. Like 5-10 years screwed if you are retirement aged. If not, you're brilliant.

I don't get why the advice to not go 50% stock, 50% money market because it's too coarse is bad though. It's like betting half/half on black/red in roulette, depending on the specific timeframe. They usually have opposite (or close to that) outcomes, except that the stock losses/gains are far more wild than the money market losses/gains. You're hedging a wild swing with a mild swing.
I don't think it's a silly question, but I think free money basically means dismissing the money system altogether. That would work in an ideal world with ideal people but we are not that far out of the jungle yet (and I'm not referring to intelligence levels but to qualities that didn't evolve as fast as our intelligence). So, while you're right in principle, in practice there will probably still be a lot of injustice and suffering to go around long after everything is automated. Having said that, I still think it's a step in the right direction to reduce the ills of society.
Indeed. All I see from this and similar threads here and articles all over the internet on topics like these is:

"blah blah hindsight bias blah blah rationalization blah blah"

At the end of the day, the only useful theories for the stock market are the ones that have predictive power. I'd be interested in reading articles by people who are consistently willing to put their money where their mouths are and consistently make money on their theories' predictions, but anyone who can do that of course tend to know better and tend to keep their mouths shut.

> We have been eating crayfish for a long time; indigenous French (or European?) crayfish were delicious but they have been wiped out by this species.

AFAIK indigenous european species have mostly been displaced by various american species (mostly spinycheek, signal, and louisiana crawfishes) — and severely hit by diseases those brought[0] — over the course of the 20th century. The marbled crayfish is a recent development.

I don't think the marbled crayfish is great cooking fare, it's pretty small.

In Mark implementation, care has been taken so that indexed contents are not enumerable. So e.g. when you run a for ... in loop on a Mark object, you'll only see properties, not the contents.

This is one of the difference between Mark object and an array. Array contents are enumerable by default.

5 Kanban Strategies That Help IT Teams Beat the Deadlines
I disagree.

I have my IDE setup with some scripts to copy a database from production. Set some breakpoints and press the play button and I am debugging.

With A REPL first I need to do a load of import statements. Then populate my objects. Then get started with the actual debugging. I personally don't find it anywhere near as efficient as an IDE that has been setup. Plus with the IDE I can stop at a certain point in the code, have numerous variables populated then run "evaluate" in PyCharm, which gives most of the benefits of a REPL as far as I can tell.

Admittedly the IDE does take a fair bit more effort to get to a state where it is set up to be useful, but dealing with the whole system as opposed to a small part of it is incredibly beneficial for development. Though I guess a lot depends on the type of problem you are solving.

Oh that's possible, yes. I'm not an expert and don't know if the marbled crayfish is the one on sale; I can tell the ones on sale are not the indigenous one, but not much more.
In the UK the native crayfish are already severely threatened by invasive signal crayfish. I'm not sure if we have marble crayfish yet but if they breed that quickly it sounds very bad for the native crayfish - and maybe for the accidentally introduced signal crayfish too.

There are various streams near me where you can go out in summer with a piece of bacon, some string and a box (maybe a net too) and catch signal crayfish. You don't need a permit as they're an invasive species - in fact you're not allowed to put them back if you catch any.

(But do put them back if you catch the native species! The signal crayfish are larger and have big red claws with white flashes which give them their name.)

edit: was writing my now largely redundant post as masklinn posted. I hadn't realised the Marmorkrebs were smaller - does that make them less of a threat? It does say they're already a problem for native species in Madagascar.

Most VCs raise from institutional funds (like banks) don’t they?

VCs overall, perform quite poorly. But they’re useful for banks, they need somewhere to put money as a hedge against more traditional investments (and currency devaluations in general I guess). For them it’s just a different risk class, and therefore useful for diversifying their risk.

That's a fair point. But what's important is debt to something ratio (I don't know to what exactly) which neither of the first two comments on this thread seemed to make clear enough.
It's not always that straightforward. I automated my job once, as a junior dev. My "job" (if you can call it that) was copying a web app's configuration off an Excel file, pasting it into a text file, converting it into XML by hand, feeding it into a program that converted it to SQL and finally running the SQL to create a database. Normally, I'd then have to tear it down again and start all over- because hand-crafted XML.

Obviously I got pretty annoyed at doing all this and wrote a bit of code to automate it. This cut down the time I needed to setup a project from a day and a half to ~30 minutes. The result? Nothing. The company did not adopt my project into its workflow. Instead, a more senior dev who heard about it started a project of his own, to do what mine did but online, so our clients could access it and configure their sites without sending us that miserable Excel file. So instead of benefiting me, my automation work almost ended up benefiting someone else (the senior dev's project was shot down in flames a few months later when it failed to deliver).

Morale of the story: you may think that this is a fair world where engineering talent is rewarded, but the truth is that most companies are not run by engineers and decisions are made by people who don't care one jot whether your everyday work is mind-numbingly boring drudgery.
Deep Learning on Lambda: Architecture and Performance
It does have a slight advantage over ARM / most other RISC architectures in that the instructions are fairly small, meaning that you can get quite good decoding throughput without going wider. That advantage doesn't get entirely cancelled out by how badly allocated things are, since instructions can decode to multiple "actual" instructions (µops).

I'm still curious as to how Intel thought a mobile x86 chip could ever work.
That would be Alt+F4.

I agree in general that sexps provide the best editing experience currently, but that's just a matter of tooling, it's not an inherent property of sexps vs infix or whitespace-dependent syntax.

Check out [0], a structured editing mode for Haskell, a whitespace-sensitive language.

Incidentally, while I have no problem with Lisps (I've used Clojure for about a year), I do prefer infix notation, precisely because it's not homogeneous.

"Most people in the UK have an electric kettle, but that's not true in the USA"

This has two causes: the prevalence of tea and the availability of 220V 10A kettles in the UK vs 115V 13A kettles in the States. Almost double the power means a boil in little more than half the time, making the electric kettle insanely useful.

New kitchens in the States generally have 20A outlets[1] so why won't anybody sell me a 115V 18A kettle? Make one for me, I will give you lots of money! The fact that it will have a funny plug is a feature to help you sell it by emphasizing its uniqueness and help you sell it, not an obstacle!

True, but it can be a significant problem for legitimate companies. After going public Tesla had the highest short interest of any major stock at 72%. The other companies that were in the top 5 at the time are all bankrupt or close to it now.

This is a good idea and a much needed service. I was reading an article yesterday about android malware that opens web views in the background that appear to be from reputable sites, and then places its own ad inventory in them. The user never sees the ads, but the exchange thinks it’s showing ads on, e.g. cnn.com.

It seems like your solution places auditing responsibility on the side of advertisers. All advertisers should be doing this, but I can’t help but think it should primarily be the responsibility of the exchanges themselves.

In an indentation sensitive syntax, you simply look at the next line and see if it has more or less or equal indentation. Then you're done. That turns out to be extremely fast, because the eye/brain combination is exceedingly good at determining if something is left or right or something else.

In traditional s expressions, to match things up you have to count the parentheses, which the brain is extremely bad at. In practice, the brain is so bad at this that we have to depend on complicated tooling to do the formatting for us. In a typical editor, that means that we depend on things like left-right distance anyway. Since people depend on indentation in the first place, making it syntactically relevant simply applies what people already do to the syntax itself.

One more for the list of moronic password rules I experienced: no character repeated more than twice. If you have a password long enough, or a hex/base64 of a 128bit key (which I assume is safe enough!) you are most likely going to hit that limit, which does nothing to help security.
I might be a bit grumpy, but I'm getting really sick of these type of pages. There's no information, just a smart-arse "NO". It doesn't help anyone and it's so overdone I don't think it's funny anymore.
The best ones are pages where the register dialog only allows a max length, silently truncates it and then the login dialog allows every length. And then you start to search why the password you generated ten seconds ago doesn't work anymore. So much fun .. not.

While cleaner, technically geothermal energy is not renewable. After couple of years the area is cooled down and efficiency drops.
