Good luck with that. Advertisers figured out they could pound those to a pulp, and they were not wrong.

Any sane man of a couple centuries ago is now a leper by modern standards. They don't have us walking on our hands because ... I don't know, perhaps there's no money in it or that did not yet occur to them.
>> you are nothing else but the custom dev shop for one or two bucket of money customers and you dont have a real product.

This is my experience building for and selling to enterprise. There are a limited number of 800lb gorillas and but every company thinks they are a special snowflake. This quickly has you building software tightly coupled to workflow which is death for commercial software. It's usually one of the reasons the market exists in the first place; incumbents can't get the required reward to match the effort at their desired scale.
I solved that problem by keeping the cats, funny, jokes, etc. on my home computer. My work machine just has technical Reddits that don't require or inspire much response, just a mental note.
I had a similar experience, but with cross-country skiing. I was an avid skier from age 2 to 22. I raced in high school, spent every weekend out skiing (skating and traditional), had no problems on any trail, no matter how steep or difficult, etc.

In college, I took up downhill skiing. Twenty years later, I tried cross-country skiing again and could barely stay upright! I went in with full confidence and ended up shuffling around like a zombie on ice.
You're responding to a Chinese expat, you know. You're talking about hypotheticals while they know the reality.

Maybe ask some real questions instead of rhetorical ones?
So I read the article but I don't quite get it.

A 5-year bond now has a lower yield than a 3-year bond? How is that even possible? Wouldn't anyone who wants a 5-year bond just buy a 3-year bond and then put the cash under their mattress after 3 years?

Is the idea that in 3 years' time, negative interest rates will be widespread, physical cash will be abolished, and figuratively keeping the cash under your mattress isn't even possible?

EDIT: And why don't arbitrageurs buy up 3-year bonds and sell 5-year bonds?
> I think you need to stop telling Chinese people what they need. We know what we need.

Surely it's understandable from the outside looking in why people can't see what the Chinese people want/need. If you can't publicly post those "argument" you speak of under your name for fear of reprisal, how is anyone supposed to know any better?

I think the comment speculates because it's all they can do because it's less about "losing an argument" and more about not even knowing whether an argument exists. In the absence of clear feelings towards something (or the ability to state them), you should expect people to speculate and not be surprised when they are wrong.
Italic.com | Full-stack, Front-end, Head of Marketing, Business Development, and more | Los Angeles, CA | $120-150k + equity | ONSITE, FULL-TIME

Just founded this year, Italic is a marketplace where you can shop directly from the world’s best factories. We're bridging global supply and demand to create independence for suppliers and value for consumers. E.g. buying handbags from Prada’s factory without the logo. Factories make more profit, buyers save money but same luxury quality. We're a band of rebels from technology and retail, inspired by both tradition and technology, with a hellbent desire to reinvent the industry for the betterment of all, not just the few.

Our product team hails from well-loved brands like Calvin Klein, Armani, Patagonia, & Arc'teryx. Our tech team comes from Snapchat, Shopify, Pinterest. We're backed by top investors including Comcast, Global Founders Capital, Index, Ludlow, and the founders of Coinbase, Behance, TravelBank, & Hush.

Very recently raised $13M Series A. Founder was Thiel fellow, YC S15, and raised big money. We’ve been covered in Vox, AdWeek, Glossy and more coming up. Great time to join a small all-star team :)

Yep. Pro-ana groups were a serious problem back when Livejournal was still relevant (i.e, early/mid 2000s) -- and that was with very limited discoverability features. Modern recommendation algorithms just make the problem worse.
Wow, I wrote this list, let me know if you have any questions.
I assume you're still very early in your career?

I suggest talking to a few recruiters, they'll know how to polish your resume. As long as you get developer phone screens, you're doing well. It can often take a few different interviews with a few different companies before you get an offer.

BTW, depending on your personal situation, it might be worth it to quit your job and start looking for a new one, full time. That's a big risk, though, so it really only works if you have no debt or very understanding parents. I've always found it easier to find a job when I can dedicate myself full time to my job search. 120 hours dedicated to a job search is easier when it's full time, instead of 1 hour a night for 6 months.
Kubernetes' first major security hole discovered
Honestly, I don't care about what people believe, I care about their actions.

The science is quite frightening whether some particular individual believes in it or not: https://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13118594/2-degrees-no-more-fos...

I would rather have a billion people working for a low-carbon future because it's fashionable than a few hundred thousand "true believers".
If you aren't then I hope your pay is above average, otherwise your bring taken for a ride.
What’s Behind Your Navigation App
does sympy really do alegbra (like magma) or just standard linear algebra and polynomial type stuff
Apple pulled the app after they had found child pornography on the platform, not because it has porn. Otherwise how would the suite of reddit apps (another social site with plenty of porn) exist within the Apple ecosystem? Clearly Tumblr took the nuclear option and just banned everything instead, again not Apple.

Please read up on the situation more before continuing.
Ironically, that has changed in the last few hours. A number of sites seem to be getting sorted randomly. Never seen it happen before.
Yikes! I can't imagine ever saving something directly to ~.
Can someone explain this in dumb person language? All I get is that the yield that bonds give is below zero, meaning you lose money holding them? And bonds are buying debt on faith the issuer will pay, and as the issuer pays, you get dividends.

And I think the interest rate is inversely proportional to the amount the bonds pay or something like that?

Just explain in simple language. :)
I think the Facebook Container add-on does support this, though just for Facebook. There's an issue to add something similar to Multi-Account Containers, not sure what the status is on that:

I believe there were about 3000 - 5000 participants in the “massive” Paris riots. Contrast that to the 500,000 plus numbers that showed up for the women’s march in Washington DC.

My impression is that the rioters in Paris are primarily right wing extremists and terrorist groups using violence for visibility and messaging amplification.
No, you are limited the number of children you'd have.

You can have a much bigger effect by getting rid of OTHER people.

Limiting your own consumption is completely counter-productive, as it leaves the resources to be consumed by those who do not share the same worries. They will simply have more resource available to increase their number and influence. (It's similar to those worrying about overpopulation and deciding to not having children : it's simply making sure the genes of those worrying won't make it to the next generation.)

In a non-policed commons situation, the only time it makes sense to try to shame people into consuming less is if they are your competition and you want to get rid of them.

When the costs are passed on to the consumer, I can discriminate between GHG-intensive products, and non-polluting products, by price.
Is it Good or Bad? And in what way?
I'm going to take a contrarian view on this.

About 1/15 humans who have ever existed are still alive. And that includes the period before writing.

I think it's not unreasonable to think that most books have been written in the past 125 years.

I do not see any reason to deify the past. I say this as someone who has read the Bible in the original Hebrew and the Talmud in original Aramaic. They're of interest as a window to a different time, but fundamentally they're probably no smarter than many people today, and they have less mental tools and worse nutrition (which is linked to intelligence).
I have a feeling that it's possible we're going to see this ban play out the same way, I'm not sure.

As many people have pointed out here and elsewhere -the platform is largely used for porn, and once those users are driven out you'll just be left with tumblweeds.

I feel like there's a 50 percent chance that is going to occur to someone up the food chain in the next couple of weeks, and this policy will be quietly walked back.

Philosphize This! is excellent.
Ditto on the sentiment. I’m not a Googler but I’ve worked closely with a few, and Jeff was revered accordingly (along with the Chuck Norris-esque jokes). I’d honestly never heard Sanjay mentioned (and didn’t know who he was) until I read this article. I’m glad he was given his due and I’m glad to have learned about his contributions.
Hi, I try to be a good example.

I sold my car, now I ride my bike and take public transit everywhere. I only rent a car when there is no alternative.

My girlfriend and I have reduced our meat consumption and almost completely cut out beef, veal and lamb. We buy local, and try to avoid excessive packaging. We sort our trash, and try to reuse, repurpose and recycle as much as possible. We buy second hand whenever possible, the average age of our digital devices is somewhere around 4-5 years. In general, we are pretty much free of the lure of consumerism.

We don't do this to "virtue signal", we do it because it's the only sensible thing to do. And we are absolutely not alone in this attitude.

But despite all of this, the world needs to deal with corporate polluters, and quick. While doing as much as we can privately is good and a good idea, the big change will need to come from keeping businesses in check.

There's a lot of survivor bias there, however.

A lot of works that were under-appreciated during their time had their extemporaneous advocates and promoters that had their own motivations that often had little to do with appreciation for the work.

If Kafka's editor had listened to Kafka and burned his works instead of making sure they got on as many bookshelves as possible, or if Van Gogh didn't have the close relationship he had with his art-dealer brother, we almost certainly wouldn't remember their works today.

I don't doubt their are many unknown masters ahead of their time that will forever remain in obscurity.
Kubernetes Security Hole
I've done on-call in a fairly severe fashion, similar to a lot of folks here - one one night, off the next, one one, off the next. I didn't get compensated for it. It took a tremendous toll on my mental and physical health. Fixing issues at 2AM is something you have to experience for yourself before you have any clout passing judgement on whether "everyone should do on call".

The interesting thing is that the majority of issues that came up were not necessarily bugs per-say, but rather, the hundreds of input sources our app consumed (algorithmic trading) frequently had bad data, so it was always a scramble to add fixes and stay on top of it, till the next bad input stream came in. It never ends!

I'm not sure if I've seen it proposed yet, but a better strategy IMHO is to have folks be "on call" while they are at the office. Then rotate to the next global office when they leave. If devs want to stay and go above and beyond, great. If your company needs to be 24/7, you need to staff it properly 24/7. Or be very upfront about the sleep deprivation requirements when hiring for it.
Ultimately I'm asking for transparency to the consumer, including tractability to actual component manufacturers. Warehousing doesn't count, but combining a number of small things together in to one big thing does.

There are a couple different approaches, and no reason you'd need to stick with only one. Consumer transparency is the only true requirement (Be SPECIFIC, Never Lie or lie by omission, also only allow things like "non-ecc" in ways that exclude the text from normal searches).

For example:

Iphone Model (specific year model/type), By Apple, Built in Apple Approved factories (external link).

Example licensed cosmetic product "brand name" Shampoo, Brand, Co-mingled (sold by X), Manufactured in one or more of (exhaustive list)

Example licensed cosmetic product "brand name" Shampoo, Brand, Sold by Y (no shared inventory), Manufactured in (short list of pharmaceutical labs in a few US states).

Real Cane Sugar Cola, SodaCola Brand, Bottled in List X (short list of pharmaceutical labs in a few US states, only specific manufacturers could be picked as well, shipping time would vary).
Renewables are already competitive, thanks to natural progress in technology. Investment driven by artificial incentives would only have led to excessive, wasteful investment in technologies that weren't ready yet.
There is a 1 bps spread between the 3-year and 5-year US Treasury (2.84 vs 2.83) as of close of market today.

While somewhat noteworthy, it's not huge (yet). When people talk about yield curve inversion and it being an indicator of recessions, it's much more common to compare the 2-year with the 10-year. Currently that sits at 2.83 (2yr) vs 2.98 (10yr). While the shorter spreads do often invert first, there is no requirement for the longer spreads to follow.
Yes, I think the majority of the posts here are very patronizing to Chinese people. To quote one of the few people in this thread who is actually Chinese (seemuch):

"I think you need to stop telling Chinese people what they need. We know what we need."
It's a potential warning sign of a coming recession:

Nonsense. There are a bazillion software companies out there and most look nothing alike. If on-call is a dealbreaker for you, just ask the right questions and be clear up front.

And if you want to work part time, consider contracting.
Can someone concisely explain what yield curve inversion could indicate?

I can think of a few explanations for why long term yields are going lower:

1. Long term yields going lower because there are far fewer places for capital to go to besides US treasuries, indicating slower business activity

2. Short term yields going higher because no one wants to buy short-term treasuries because there's something else to invest in or expect higher return for short term investment?

Are these the only two reasons? Why are people so fearful of inverted yield curves?
No - what happened is the yield on the 5 year treasury dropped below the 3 year one.

Apple Distribution: The Apple Store Is Not About Selling iPhones
Thats not how it works. If 5-year bond has yield x, for principal P you receive Px for 5 years. With 3-year bond with yield y, you get Py for 3 years. If y > x => after 3 years rates will be lower than y. So you will get lower than P*y for the last 2 years (of 5 years).
It's significant because an inverted yield curve is a historical indicator of an impending recession.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/business/what-is-yield-cu...
Not quite that. The yield for a 5-year note is less than the yield for a 3-year note.

More generally, a yield curve inversion is when the interest rate you earn on short-term debt ends up higher than that of long-term debt of the same quality.

I don't think the issue is that the inversion causes the recession. It's more an indicator of pessimism in the market. It implies that investors think that interest rates are going to get worse, so they look to buy more longer-term bonds in order to try and lock in current yields for a longer period of time. That increases demand for those assets, which drives down their price^H^H^H^H^H yields.
It's very bad, in the short term. It means that investors expect an economic recession soon. We're about due for one. It's going to be especially fun this time, since a lot of people have investments running on autopilot.

In the long term, regular recessions are healthy, since they clear out accumulated fraud and deadweight, forcing people to make necessary but unpleasant hard decisions.
Terrorism ? What ?
Sorry for the copy pasta, but they say it better than I do.

"Historically, inversions of the yield curve have preceded many of the U.S. recessions. Due to this historical correlation, the yield curve is often seen as an accurate forecast of the turning points of the business cycle. A recent example is when the U.S. Treasury yield curve inverted in 2000 just before the U.S. equity markets collapsed."

A NASA space probe has just arrived at the asteroid Bennu to study it
I have lived in NYC for more than three years and feel like I've probably only seen a conversation between strangers maybe 5-15 times ever? I take the L and NQRW the most, perhaps this is a hyper-local phenomenon with your line?

I do see the 'tourist asks if they can get to ___ on this train' conversation but don't really consider that in the context of the OP.
I see it as investors betting that before 5 years from now we'll see another recession and the Fed will be forced to lower interest rates, hence why 5 year yields are trading below 3 year yields.
If my understanding it correct, I'm pretty sure it means the yields of short-term investments are better than long-term investments with the implication that investors feel like the economy is fine now but won't be in the not to distant future. In short, they think there will be a recession so they want to make money now while the gettin's good.
Thanks. That's super useful.
I had not seen the UK studies you mention.

Shockingly, the UK government document you cite explicitly suggests "Expanding the concept of ‘real rape’".
