so, I trust amazon too (at least the 'shipped and sold by amazon' brand... I consider everything else to be more like ebay)

But... I just don't see how amazon would get me away, say, from vanguard. There are already good retail brokerages, and I don't see why I'd want to go through amazon instead of another company.
Yes, it will auto-resolve, after you spouse divorces you and obtains custody of your children, and your employer fires you.

Given the number of failures I've seen as a direct result of security and/or availability systems, the instinct to first question your own readings is a valid one. It's a good check particularly to make sure that your tests are valid, and that you aren't going off half-cocked with an alert (alarm fatigue is a Real Thing, and attention is a scarce resource).

I've also seen, in general, far more false alerts than real ones. (Yes, Nagios, I am in fact looking at you.)

The gender-casing is a quirk of the article, and would reflect at least three of the languages official within Switzerland (German, French, and Italian are all gendered languages, I'm fairly certain Romanche is as well). It's fair to note that, though perhaps not quite to the extent you did.

No, because that's not how an index works.

"The index level for CBI is calculated by dividing the sum of the current USD market capitalizations of all constituent assets by the Divisor and multiplying the result by
100."

In particular the reconstitution variable:

"CBI will be reconstituted each time that a new asset is listed on GDAX, in order to allocate the correct weight to each constituent asset and to prevent an artificial increase in the index level. Each reconstitution will occur at 5pm Pacific Time on the fifth day that the new asset is traded on GDAX. This is designed to reduce the effect of any temporary price volatility in the new asset in the first few trading days after its listing."

Oh I was confused. From your original comment, I thought your goal was "solar to save the planet" and that your ethical issue was that it was primarily a financial play and only secondarily about increasing solar deployment. But from this comment it sounds like your primary problem was with taxpayer funding for a subsidy, which, fair enough, if you don't believe in subsidies, you shouldn't work for a company whose business model relies on them.

The explanation is the rise of populism following a bad economic episode. What you are seeing now has been seen in the 20's and 30's. If some good social policies had been implemented and the gains well distributed in the prior decades of growth this wouldn't be happening. But humans won't learn until forced to.
This is how all trend pieces always work. No real data, just a few anecdotes from the extremes. Ignore all trend pieces!
I don't think that's how an index works.

From the Coinbase literature:

"The index level for CBI is calculated by dividing the sum of the current USD market capitalizations of all constituent assets by the Divisor and multiplying the result by 100."
Presumably he wanted to transfer the hard drive to a 3rd part for use or inspection.
1. I'll mostly concede this one. You're right that investors can look at this index and mirror it, but any investor who does this should be thankful that Coinbase created this fund and gave them something to mirror!

2. Coinbase's main product lets you buy the coins, but storing them safely is another matter. Just wait until c0inbase.com sets up a duplicate site and buys Google ads for "coinbase" so it shows up above the real site in search results. Two-factor auth won't help because the fake site will just prompt you for the 2FA and immediately use it to log into your account on the real site. This isn't a hypothetical -- things like this happen all the time and target all of the most popular online bitcoin wallets.

The difference with an index is that there's no "withdraw crypto" button. Even if your account is hacked, the worst they can do is try to force you to sell your position -- and even that could probably be rolled back when you get in touch with Coinbase. The hacker couldn't take your money because adding a new bank account for withdrawal is slow and produces a bunch of emails to you. And even if they did add a new bank account and withdraw, that would generate a paper trail that could be used to undo the bank transfer or prosecute the thieves.

Setting up bank accounts with a fake identity is much harder than creating a new bitcoin wallet address to withdraw your stolen coins to.

3. Again, the lack of a "withdraw crypto" button makes all the difference. If that button exists, business partners will always be eyeing each other with suspicion, wondering if one of them is going to steal the coins and claim that a hacker did it. If it doesn't, there is no easy way for one partner to screw the others. The worst he could do is add his personal bank account and try to withdraw to it. Even if he succeeds, that will leave a huge paper trail. The other partners will know who did it and he'll soon discover that the FBI frowns on such things.

4. You're right that you don't avoid the taxation burden, but there is still a difference. First, the fund is more likely to have tax experts who can figure out how to minimize the tax burden from rebalancing. They'll be aware of tricks like tax loss harvesting that a random investor would find burdensome to implement even if they knew about them. Second, as an investor, getting a 1099 from an index fund makes my life simple because I can just copy a few numbers into TurboTax and be done. If I've been running and rebalancing my own portfolio, I instead have to download the year's worth of trade data and fill out IRS form 8949 with a list of all trades.
I would imagine that since a large part of the duck sits out of the water, that the wind would introduce enough variance to render the data fairly useless.

Again, this feels personal. I merely shared my experience with greedy developers that lied multiple times. The largest showing at city hall in 20 years was over this developer's plans.

It's fair for me to say the community's understanding of space was valid.
This brings back some great memories. My mom made fantastic home made jams. All through my childhood family members and friends would clamor for her jams she made at Christmas.

This year I finally got her to give me her recipe....it was basically the recipe on the packet of Sure Jell :-/
She did note that the important part was to by fresh fruits for the jam and not frozen so I guess there was that. Regardless it was a huge let down to know the secret was the recipe on the box of pectin that was $.50 each.

Maybe they should offer an Amazon weighted fund, that invests based in your personal consumption, ie if you buy a lot of Gillette razers then buy some Gillette shares.
Got down to the bend part where they just cited cnbc which only really took the word of that one dude that travels for work and somehow that turned it into a "commute". No one is driving 10 hours for work.
I'm amenable.

I could also live with a system like Germany's, where insurers are private but the state requires equal treatment and effective systems of cost control.

No system's perfect, and every system needs to be effectively managed.

I've long since come to the point of wondering how much the U.S. behavior actually negatively impacts other countries' health care systems.

In many ways more indirectly that this following, but also explicitly in Canada, they keep pushing for increased privatization. Want that marketshare, and to be the middleman between patients and services.
Is there any way you could create (or link) a small, open source app that uses these technologies.

Something good for beginners? I realize I'm asking for a lot but I might as well ask.
I don't know if any of the things my grandmother has made were once from a recipe, but a few years back I spent some time with a digital camcorder recording her making them. Since she eyeballs most of it... it's really hard to imagine having properly captured this any other way.
Your observation is pretty spot on, but I want to add some context. If you’re just doing a trip through NZ (which is awesome and I’m envious of you right now by the way), I’m assuming you haven’t tried to buy anything online.

My experience with shopping online in New Zealand is not like in the US. International shipping prices to NZ are typically insane and shipments take forever. Depending on the item, it’s usually cheaper and faster to just pick it up at the store.

The exception to that is of course online shopping from NZ-based retailers, but I only came across online shops for specific verticals, like computers (e.g. Newegg.com), Trademe (Craigslist), or simply a a brick and mortar shop that also delivers (same price as in store, plus delivery fee). Keep in mind, NZ has a population of something like 5 million people, so it’s harder to get economies of scale.

Furthermore, if you live in a rural area (I don’t know what the cutoff is) without a regular parcel service, you also have to pay an additional delivery fee through NZ Post. This looks like it’s at least $3.70, and maybe more for packages [1].

My point is that I think that the economic incensitves that cause Kiwis to shop locally are the same economic incentives that cause Americans to buy online. I don’t think it’s out of any heightened sense of altruism or local affiliation.

One might think that with the rise of AI/ML catching fake reviews and counterfeits will be much easier

Why would one think that?
Actually, I think the remote work aversion is completely rational. As background I worked in the Bay Area for about 7 years and worked remotely from LA for about a 1.5 years & moving now I'm moving back to the Bay. Remote work (specifically at home) offers a bunch of benefits like having a lot more flexibility, a lot more free time (not just in commute & traffic but also in being able to wake up 5 minutes before needing to be at work).

The downsides are:

* It's hard to motivate to actually work during "down" times whereas if I were at work physically I'd be much more inclined to do something once my regular tasks are complete.
* You lose a lot of the in-person communication that occurs either because you overhear coworkers or you run into people in the hall & just chat semi-socially.
* You are largely a forgotten quantity. Out-of-sight out-of-mind is real.
* Whiteboards are really hard even with moveable cameras & don't work for collaboration. Maybe there's software to help with this but it's not natural.
* Meeting infrastructure has to be extremely reliable & coworkers need to plan to account for every meeting being remote. A broken telecom unit, internet issues etc make unplanned changes harder to adapt to. Even harder is if, for example, an external partner is visiting & needs to present regularly & the local connection cannot be presented via the telecom system.
* There's far fewer opportunities for work which means it's hard to look for more lucrative opportunities. Similarly, the lack of opportunities means it's harder to leverage that for salary negotiations.
* The opportunities that do exist are at firms that aren't doing the bulk of interesting tech work. Even for multinationals the most interesting tech work (granted at least for my interests) tends to still be centralized in the Bay Area.
* If you're already working for a big tech company you're probably at the top of (or even above) your salary range for any alternative job unless you manage to get a promotion at the same time.

From an employers perspective, the efficiency costs aren't worth it.
For companies that didn't start with remote work, it's hard to justify supporting it when the office space is a sunk cost. Keep in mind that employers don't move employees around regularly for no reason. The bulk of the reason is to have as many people that need to communicate regularly as physically close to each other as possible.
It's not just the people who are moving away from the bay area, you also have to account for people who are dissuaded from moving to the area due to the high cost of living.

When looking at where to locate my startup we considered SF but when I ran the numbers our runway would be severely limited. Instead we could run for years off of personal savings in the southeast. Instead of being forced to raise VC money I could control my own destiny.

There are definitely strong network effects of living in the valley. They are not strong enough to beat out market forces if you have the skills to make the product yourself. A single person has a lot more leverage than they did 10 years ago. Most tech companies don't require hordes of engineers. There are smart and talented people everywhere.

The majority of tech happens outside of the valley, and its status as the center of innovation is more likely to be a quirk of history than an act of predestination. Build great products that people love to use and everything else will follow.
That reads more like an attempt to make a light-hearted quip suggesting the exposure was limited. Say, more like: "OK, so we could directly access the database, but surely nobody would provide a full read/write administrative account publicly accessible and passwordless.... Oh."

Given a few other hints at English not being the first tongue (or possibly even the fourth, CH having four official co-equal languages) of the writer(s) in question, that could just be awkwardness from a non-native speaker. Their English is vastly superior to my German, French, Italian, or Romanche.
Sounds like you're living a good life, doing a good job at playing the hand you're dealt. Comparing oneself against the luckiest .01% of humanity is a great way to make yourself really unhappy.
Besides, even native apps (made with iOS or Android SDK) try to look as different as possible with custom made styles. So there is really no "native look" on mobile platforms.
Given legacy devices, I'm not sure that vanilla JS is the best way to go, despite being a lightweight option.

Sometimes I think if you're dealing with an old browser(s), pick a technology of its time--in this case, perhaps jQuery (lightweight and ubiquitous).

It's like a time machine, where the old browser can say: "Oh god, thank you. Finally someone I can understand. Why do these kids keep asking me for promises? Promise what?!"
Counties bought computerised voting systems in the washer of the 2000 "hanging chads" election. They're proprietary and almost 20 years old. Many of those companies are no gone now.

Makes Scantron ballots seem sane.
Alternative hypothesis: most 'secret family recipes' are in fact original. However, the average SFR never get passed around, because it produces average-tasting stuff.

The recipe on food labels come from companies that know the product inside-out, have incentive to help you optimize the taste/effort tradeoff, and maybe have spent time and money on research. They tastes better, so they're the ones people remember.

tl;dr: people remember a disproportionately high number of plagiarized recipes because those are the good ones.
From the guidelines: “Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.”

This is a fairly mainstream politics story on an issue that is a focus of intense partisan controversy; it invites political flamewar but, history suggests, is unlikely to have much intellectually gratifying discussion here. It getting demoted for being hit by flags is unsurprising.
This just strikes me as really shady - not because I have any reason to believe that you're not going to get what they're selling you, but that a lot of non-experts in financial products are familiar with the idea of an index fund as a (relatively) safe and responsible long-term investment, when this is clearly neither of those things.

Coinbase even describe this as an investment in their description.

This has more in common with buying a bunch of lottery tickets in a syndicate for a draw that might not even happen. I wish we'd be more responsible than to call buying cryptocurrency investing. We know what it is. It is not this.
I like the story --I don't recall where I heard it or perhaps read it. Someone recounting the story of finding out their grandma's delicious marinara sauce was not made with tomatoes from the garden but rather plain old store bought canned tomatoes --but prepared just right.

> My impression is that the bay area is an area with a few viable ways to make a living, and is it just that the lower class has to live in the dangerous areas of Oakland (and elsewhere) to just have a roof over their head?

There is no shortage of fast food workers, waiters, retail workers, coffee shop workers, handymen, etc. It's expensive to live in the Bay Area, but clearly those people are able to make a living or they wouldn't be around anymore.

And they don't all commute from far away. I know plenty of people working those jobs who live in the Bay Area near their places of work.

Seconded. Working solo means I can move at whatever pace I'm comfortable with, and even halt development entirely for a while if something more interesting crops up.

Supporting customers is not particularly stressful either, so long as you don't make the mistake of trying to answer every email immediately and treat every issue from a $10 account as a hair-on-fire, drop everything emergency.

'The Big Lebowski' is 20. What the critics who panned it think now
Could be but they're middlemen providing a valuable service. It's a one-stop shop for a work environment. The landlord benefits because they have a regular income stream & don't need to worry about tenants coming & going. Customers get to adjust their needs on a month-to-month basis for a smaller up-front cost than they could get leasing themselves & can dynamically adjust if they grow. Similarly, they don't need to worry about setting up internet service & any of the other things WeWork offers. Additionally you can cheaply temporarily rent space if you have travel needs. That's the value-add. Now how successful they will be I don't know but I fail to see why real estate ownership matters here.
I don't know, I've seen a lot of trust erosion in the last few years even just among people I know (many of whom don't even work in tech), largely driven by them getting burned by problems with sketchy third-party re-sellers.

Unless you're paying close attention, it's not obvious to the average consumer that so many products are being sold by independent resellers vs Amazon themselves, so people aren't as careful as they might be on, say, eBay.

It's more than that.

I have an amazing chocolate cake recipe--I'm SURE it's cribbed from some magazine, chocolate container, or something. I have stopped giving it out as people simply can't get it right.

There are three classes of failure:

The first class of failure is in not following directions. When it says "1/2 teaspoon", they mean it. Baking is like lab--small things often make big differences. "Helping" one of these people is frustrating--"Um, try actually following the recipe."

The second class of failure is that a lot of people don't have basic cooking skills. "My chocolate is weird"--yeah, water does that to melted chocolate. "I can't whip this meringue"--yeah, you can't get even a trace of yolk in that or it's not going to work.

The third class of failure is that people don't seem to pay attention and learn. Hmmm, that cake recipe doesn't seem to like humid days. Uh, oh, there aren't any bubbles in my batter--my baking soda/baking powder are probably bad. Sniff, sniff--that doesn't smell right--did you use margarine or butter to prepare that pan?

One of my favorite for this was reconstructing my grandmothers kalach recipe. It just never smelled right. Until I remembered that she used to have a container underneath the cabinet that she used for the recipe--as a kid that never meant anything. As an adult, I was like "Hmmmmm, I bet that was lard." Sure enough, that made it smell right.

Cooking requires paying attention, but baking, especially, is in the details.

Well, I don't disagree with that.

But I also think that Trump and the Republicans who've lined up behind him -- and their... "patrons" -- would pay dearly for any and all evidence and publicity that would tarnish if not destroy Steele.

There's been a lot of rhetoric, but I've yet to see an actual fact that contradicts him. And there's more to the dossier than "killer whales" or, as it were, the so-called "golden shower". (And that golden shower, and how it got included, is actually addressed in the interview I mentioned.)

And as the article's author also points out -- this may be in a New Yorker podcast that I heard part of while cooking dinner -- the dossier represents primary intelligence, not a corroborated, final intelligence report. (Or perhaps in that, she was speaking more of a recent memo he wrote, simply describing -- and being clear about the nature of this -- the word going around Russian intelligence and bureaucracy, that Mitt Romney's selection for Secretary of State was scuttled by Russian opposition. I'll have to recheck.)

Even so, I have not yet heard of a major statement in it that's been dis-proven.

Now, I'm "just a guy who follows the news". But, this has become increasingly significant to me, as the months roll by.
