I am not a financial guy, but do have concerns with indexing, given that these days it seems that we've reached "shoeshine boy"[1] levels of "just put all your money in Vanguard's VOO" sentiment--more of an inner contrarian thing than anything concrete.

It is difficult to argue with the diversification of the ETFs and I by no means avoid them, but given that most are market-cap weighted, they skew toward large stocks and self-perpetuate the growth of a handful of large cap stocks. So every $ invested in VOO, has 4.2% in APPL. I'm not sure what impact that would have other than perhaps making these large caps more volatile during a market readjustment or collapse. I also, am not sure there is a better alternative as you probably wouldn't want equal weighting between #1 and #500 on an S&P index fund.

Not a financial guy so am interested in peoples thoughts on this.

I can relate to the problem definition here. We run a small software development company and most inquiries come to my inbox. After we confirm the project i go to Slack, basically brief everyone on what the project is all about and re-post any shared documents in between. No bigger issues till this point. But during the development of an app a lot of questions appear i need to clear off with the client. I need approvals, budget scope, dead end feature developments...and I am losing my mind between the conversations i have on email and the project management i run on Slack. It's actually an interesting concept - to stop moving the work out from email but instead bring teammates to where work already is.

My understanding is that email headers can be spoofed and should not be relied on. So this is probably too hard to ask from an email client (i.e. a program that reads and writes emails) that only has access to the email headers. Whereas for the email server (the computer that sends/receives emails for this address) this would be trivial, just keep a list of emails that the server has sent.

Make sure your stack can be migrated over to another provider at very short notice or have at least a footprint with other providers in parallel.

Changing infrastructure over a small increase in price (which rarely happens) is a one of those dreams that techies have but hardly ever happens because the risk of regressions is too high.

The minute you don’t use managed services and you host everything yourself on EC2 instances you have the worse of all worlds - you’re paying more than baremetal, you’re paying the same amount for supporting your infrastructure, and you’re not developing any faster than you could on prem.
SV startups don't just hire Stanford grads I think people like to apply that stereotype to make them fill better if they get rejected and it is generally applied to a portion of FANG and not startups. (In reality I know a good number of people working at Google who have degrees from schools which are not even in world's top 100). Working for large company and looking at other large companies the H1B debate is being made irrelevant being tired of convincing people it's an issue they just opened up offices abroad. We for example have developers in US, Germany, Ireland, India.
Actually, you can blame this to Oracle top management (especially in a company structured as Oracle is): they called the shots, from day 1.
Ask HN: Does Shareware still work in 2018?
I put a lot of thought into a software which solves a real problem and could be licenced on a per machine basis. (Small company pays less than a bigger one - i.e. pay per use).

To go for a startup selling licenced copies, I would need an investor but I don't really know how much the product will sell. The investors like to see hockey stick graphs which I can't claim.

I know there are companies that created open source projects on github and then have businesses doing custom work around it, but I don't know if this will work for me.
I feel the product itself provides value and I would like to make some revenue off it.

Now I am thinking this is a good fit for shareware - i.e distribute freely - let anyone who feels it is worth pay for it.
I can distribute with source so if someone wants to modify sections they can do so.

Please let me know your thoughts.

This drives me fucking crazy.

I have a long history of emailing a particular dude, call him Greg. Greg's email address does not have any periods in it. Gmail ignores periods, yes, but many other clients don't, so I want to never type Greg's email with a period. Further, I want to be able to reliably grep and join my own email exports.

Upon buying a new phone I received an email from Frank, who cc'd Greg. Fucking Frank has Greg's email address with a period in it.

From now on, no matter what I do, my phone autocomplete's Greg's email address with a period. At first I manually fixed it every time, but at this point I've given up. Now I'm as bad as Frank. It's like this virus that goes from Frank to Frank polluting the data as it goes.

If my contacts are going to be changeable by other people can they at the very least ask me first? Greg is on Gmail, can Gmail not auto-switch Greg to his canonical email unless I specifically request it not to? If Greg is going to be changed, why on earth is it one way (the right way) in my web inbox and a completely different way in my phone?
It tech, fantastic employees leave for reasons synonymous with "unsatisfactory training":

- boredom

- lack of challenge

- no opportunity for growth

- repetitive work

- bad technology

And, yes, engineers not concerned about those situations are not innovative and probably not the people you want to hire.

The fact is that "good training" is expected as part of a tech career and therefore is important to tech workers. To the point that they will job hop every three years to make sure it happens.

This isn't something to be proud of. Time-based advancement is a lazy, outdated system. Folks have wildly different levels of talent coming in, and develop at different paces throughout their careers. There are much more important factors that "time served."

"Massive crater under Greenlands ice points to climate-altering impact of humans" is the current title which is blatantly misleading.
Fat provides energy. Vitamins and minerals are either fat or water soluble. Meat will provide copious protein and all of the amino acids of which they are made, essential ones and those humans can synthesise themselves. An all meat diet is perfectly healthy as long as you have enough energy, vitamins and minerals, all of which can be tackled by eating adequate fat.
Not for profit or non-profit? Big difference.

A former employer was a smaller not for profit system. They made money but it was nothing like what the corporate hospital companies could do. The place eventually went bankrupt and was purchased by one of the bigger companies. No winners here except the large company.

So there's a chance that there was an impact in the last 100,000 years. Carlson is saying that there was an impact 12,000 years ago. That's an even smaller chance.

I'm not saying Carlson's wrong, but I am saying you're taking a bit of a logical leap here. Further study could put this impact 1M years ago, or even 40,000 years ago, and either option would mean that this is not the impact Carlson is looking for.

No, education will not obviously correct it because education's effects are not only delayed but relatively weak as many abilities are largely determined before the candidate's birth. We know IQ and conscientiousness, probably most important qualities for modern economy, are largely genetic.

Agreed. The training part is key. Train those who show interest but currently lack competency. If by company rather than national program, get rights to the worker for a year or two to offset training costs (not much diff from fed programs designed to get teachers to teach in less desirable districts).

> Finally a respected economist who calls a spade a spade. There is no such thing as "shortage" of anything. Just pay more, and you'll get it.

This is economics 101 - supply and demand. What everyone learns in their first course in economics. But most economists are paid to espouse a political perspective, so most choose to ignore it. Paraphrasing sinclair : When your salary depends on you not knowing something, you magically don't know something.

> - train people more. You hire them at lower qualifications, and educate them in house

When you prevent out sourcing, h1b visas, hiring illegals, etc, it forces local companies to invest in the local population. And it's not just at the company level. The reason we have a public education system, highways, public transportation is because the private sector needed literate workers and the ability to transport workers and goods. So companies put pressure on the government to provide education for the masses, build highways, public transportation, etc. Amazing what can be accomplished when private+public interests are aligned. When they aren't aligned, you get the rust belt, increasing wealth inequality and continued societal breakdown ( opioid crisis, late family creation, distrust between people and distrust of government, etc ).

I can. Honestly, and this may sound jackassish, but I'm not surprised many won't connect to these photos. The point is to bring up memories and feelings from one's own life of moments with psychological imprints similar to the photos. It was all INCREDIBLY nostalgic for me.

You send a chain of them and they beam the message back along the chain.
Depending on the industry, if the training is somewhat universal (like in the mig welding example) it's possible employers could offer 0% interest loans for training, with forgiveness after some payback period as part an offer.

You drastically underestimate the rapidity of catastrophe as an evolutionary forcing function. Many or most of the trees in these areas are now not merely tolerant to, but dependent on (apparently anthropogenic) fire in order to reproduce.
Given it's a place where forest fires happen there should be liability for the town planners who decided to put settlements in the middle of what would inevitably one day become a firestorm, or allow existing settlements to grow.

If you designed a building in SF, you'd be expected to make it resistant to earthquakes. When it's known that a type of natural disaster is prevalent where you're building, the liability is with those that allow inappropriate building in those places.
> I'd rather people question the news then blindly accept everything they're fed on TV and in the papers

That's fair. But it isn't what you're claiming to be doing. You're saying you blindly disbelieve everything unless a friend vouches for it. That is neither critical thinking nor rational thought--it's unquestioning faith in social proof [1].

> Well, if I was a manager and there are about 200 developers like you with a GitHub and experience and open source contributions applying for about 3 positions

I've been using U2F where possible for about a year, and I have a secondary Yubikey registered everywhere I have the primary registered.

I am going to be switching to a USB-C one soon, though, and it only now occurred to me that I haven't really been keeping a "list" of all the sites where I've got them registered. Right now, not a lot of sites support it so it won't be too tough to find them. But I should probably be keeping a list so I at least can be sure when I've definitely replaced registered the new Yubikey in all places the old one was registered.

That doesn't really address your question as to what happens when you lose your keys, but it's perhaps relevant that there are a few warts around replacing even keys you haven't lost.
Yes. Part of the hypothesis about the lost civilization of Atlantis is related to this younger dryas extinction event. The massive shift in weight from the 2 mile deep ice sheet back into the oceans, along with the water rise itself could have pushed the plate deeper into the mantle where the civilization is said to have existed, the mid Atlantic.
To use EE terms and try something like CS terms, because the energy travels at the same speed as our fastest communications systems (actually, faster...) coordination is very tricky. In practice the system is entirely "pull based" and whatever energy you ask for we'll try to send and the only control system dampening is via losses (oscillations just turn into heat...). So if you were pulling 1000 KW on a line dampened to send no more than 2000 KW and suddenly you pull 1001 KW there's no communications technology fast enough for us to know if a fire is starting or merely my toaster is making breakfast.

The problem with some kind of packetized transfer of energy between storage batteries is not only is any reasonable packet far more than enough energy to start a forest fire, even the mere capacitance of a long power line, even if given infinite fast commo and protocols, is still way more than enough energy to start a forest fire.

There is no technological way to push energy thru a tinderbox without having occasional failures aka forest fires. You can fix that by only running wires thru a treeless desert, and if you don't have a desert you can make one, or you can not run wires. The idea of only running long distance electricity along a deforested interstate or rail very wide right of way is interesting and would be safe although probably extremely ugly.

PostgreSQL has a lot of code but most parts of the code base have pretty high quality code. The main exceptions are some contrib modules, but those are mostly isolated from the main code base.
> Please do elaborate with any example that could make what you're saying seem reasonable.

You just provided an example: in the 20% scenario you describe, they sacrifice $14 for the additional workers in the 30% tax scenario and $16 for them in the 20% scenario.

(Now, obviously, they do that in the expectation of future income that the work will provide; if that's immediate, then that income has to be considered, too, and will actually make hiring make more profitable in the low tax condition; if the income is delayed, then expectations of future tax rates come into play; the farther out the payoff is, the less dependent on current tax policy the future expectation is, making the current tax relevant only to the near term cost not the log term benefit weighed against it—so, it's where hiring today is done for a long-term rather than immediate revenue boost where lower current taxes are, relatively speaking, a disincentive.)
If we can build plants that are as huge and complex and expensive as fission plants, then about the same effect, but without the fuel / proliferation / waste problems (which is nothing to be sneezed at).

If the cost is low, a brave new world with fusion replacing fossil generation as quickly as they can be built. Energy-inefficient processes like desalination and cracking water for hydrogen become attractive.

If the cost is very high, it may be that renewables have stolen fusion's market slot. In that case we'll see some national prestige projects, but against a broader renewable energy market.

It's almost like the profession of economics is beholden to a class of rich industrialists that will restrict their careers, exposure, and success if one were to dare repeat obvious, basic facts about increasing pay of workers.
I don't see how they're synonymous, that's explained better by the idea that they don't want to do the actual work.

If you're working on your internal crud enterprise app, no amount of training's going to magically change what needs to be done, or the almost certain fact that it's better to stick with the existing tech it's built on.

I think may of us go freelance/job hop because ultimately we get bored of a code base and the basic challenges, the fundamental requirements of an app simply don't change much.
