Also, what percentage of index fund investors hold those shares only in the short term? I thought much of the point of index fund investing is that it's great for a relatively low-effort, reasonably-diversified buy-and-hold strategy on the part of anyone from individual investors planning for retirement to institutional investors managing pensions?
> When you’re weighing yourself every day you need to understand that you’re creating a weekly/monthly average. What you ate yesterday isn’t going to show up on the scales the next day. If you ran around the park yesterday, don’t expect to have lost weight today.

I only weighed myself once a week for this reason. Every day can be demoralizing if you have a bloat day, but once a week gives enough to have a pretty regular drop. Whatever behaviour you do can't be considered on a day by day basis, it needs to be considered as a week of good behaviour, and then weeks and then months. You gotta stay consistent every day over the long term to expect results.
Either your information is known to an attacker, or it isn't. Great security "at most companies" in a hypothetical future doesn't help. You need security better than the best attacker, at every company, all the time.

That's a pipe dream. Instead we should take advantage of public-key cryptography, so that authenticating to one company does not leave behind infinitely reusable credentials for others.
Ubuntu's migration to Netplan broke Kickstart
Historically, US immigrants have been able to assimilate time and time again. That isn't the case in Japan. There are Koreans who's families have lived in Japan for hundreds of years... yet they still aren't considered Japanese. The Japanese would rather rely on robotics instead of immigration to mitigate their problem with a dwindling population.

Yes, the US has done some horrible things in the past, yet:

1. we publicly admit them in the historical record

2. we teach these mistakes to our children in our schools as both reminders and ways to avoid them in the future.

You cannot say the same about Japan.
I do software and system architecture, and I'm generally responsible for creating original content. In order to make any progress on deliverables, I have to be calm, have my memory loaded up with all the necessary context, and have just the right level of stimulation--too little and I fall asleep, too much and I'm wrapped around the axle.

I'm much better in the mornings, so I wake up early, 4 or 5AM, and I spend some time reading interesting technology stuff. Then I start casual reading on the task, not really trying to work on it, but just loading my brain. I set up my visual workspace (I have 3 monitors because visual context assists my shitty memory.) After an hour or two I reach a point where I can really focus and make great progress. I guess it's a way of getting into flow.

But a morning meeting that isn't directly relevant will wipe most of that prep away, and then I have to start again. So I avoid early meetings like the plague, unless it's purely an exercise in optics and I can ignore it completely and continue working.

When I'm medicated, it's way easier. I can direct my attention and it is resistant to distraction. My short-term memory doesn't keep reloading on every stimulus. I can get into flow in a reasonable amount of time throughout the day.

I'm off medication last few years, but plan to go back on in the next year. I love the cognitive benefits, but I have a couple of the rare side effects.

I think corners are probably more dark in games and movies than in real life, due to dramatic lighting. It's often an artistic choice.

That doesn't address the cases where there are weird artifacts as he mentioned. Those can be a pain to avoid in game engines since you're often using lighting "hacks" (like SSAO and others) for performance reasons.

This was only the case because 'long periods' include the periods in which free riders (indexes) were small relative to the active and activist shareholders.
Maybe de jure the name is "merely a suggestion" but de facto it's pretty solid. When you make a claim for child benefit, say, or other action then you have to enter the name as shown on the birth certificate; you can't just vary it at will. This then is established as part of your identity as held in government records.

You can make your own deed poll, but you need an enrolled deed poll to change your name on official documents like a passport.

How is it not a given that you need to do this? Your lifestyle and eating habits got you to that overweight state in the first place. Of course you will return to that state eventually if you don't permanently change them.
Well reversing is different but most cases can be reveresed with dietary/lifestyle changes.

On the other hand prevention of type2 is N=100% with these changes. I know people, especially in the US consider it thier right/freedom to eat what they want and live how they want, but in my mind it’s deeply disturbing especially because children don’t have any choice (it’s parental).

I think as soon as a child is diagnosed with fatty liver disease...there should be some mandate on parents to “treat” their child with diet (which I know is probably equally disturbing to people, government dictated diet).

It would be really interesting to try and have a client-side app that handled the basic things, and then offloaded expensive stuff back to the mother-ship, like compression or final mixdown, or effects (if the application happens to have effects).

Most computers shouldn't choke too hard on basic, non-destructive editing. I think. I could be very wrong. I'm thinking back to Apple's iMovie offering from quite a while ago, though. It didn't seem to computationally heavy.

Sometimes people use "compete" in a casual way that overlooks key economic connections. Competition is a force that is always present, even if it is not currently the "most obvious" factor in play at a given time.

I think any definition of competition must be relative to the sphere of economic activity. So, when it comes to transportation in general, rail and trucks do compete -- by this I mean they offer services with varying prices and characteristics.

Just because rail and trucking have different sweet spots at a particular point in time does not mean that they don't compete. Both (a) think about how and why customers choose them over the other, (b) seek opportunities (for investment or growth) that lead to a competitive edge, and (c) therefore, influence each other.

"eight megs and constantly swapping"
No car on the market is as safe as the absence of a car. Car companies make tradeoffs towards safety where it's reasonable and economical, but still fulfill their baseline mission, which is inherently dangerous. People are injured and killed in car crashes every day; car companies are not "held accountable" unless there's a specific defect and they should have known better.
It's interesting that once I cut out grains, potatoes, pasta, fruit/sweets, starches and continued to eat beef, chicken, fish, Organ meat, low carb vegetables and foods filled with fat (nuts, cheese, olives, etc) caused a 100lb weight loss that I have kept off over 3 years. This was without any exercise or extra activity.

Unfortunately, with the size and scope of a browser and the sheer numbers of features constantly being added, this is a difficult task.

We’ve at least come up with a way to programmaticaly declare links. We now can add comments above endpoint definitions in code and upload these “edges” to a central server that stores them to a graph. It has a web frontend that renders the graph (via tree.js I think). Not OSS though.
Proxy editing is the standard solution to low-power hardware. The source files are converted to small lightweight files, the editing is performed, and the rendering is shipped out to a bigger machine, using the original files.

Suppose this is the original meaning, not strictly in the context of ambient occlusion though in general. Compare "edge case".

Ironically though, with division by zero for example, it's more of a center case.

Not to ruin a joke, but I wonder how far back this figure of speach goes. "extremum" is rooted in Lt. "exter", superfixially "ex-" + "-ter", with "ex-" derived from (reconstructed) PIE h1eǵhs or eḱs (out) [1] and "-ter" comparable to "inter". The derivation of "-ter" is uncertain and the whole reconstruction effort is a bit like reading tea leaves (oracles may follow strikt rules, too, you know). I'm going to go all out on a limp and suppose eks is related to h₂eḱ- (sharp), whence "edge" and Ger. "Ecke" (corner); And to h₂eḱs- (axis, axle), proabably related to h₂eǵ- (to drive) [to go out?]. IMHO it's most likely sound immitative of cutting, hence sec, ex, hack, axe, adze and so on. Suppose initially the problem was really a corner where it shouldn't be. Then what are you supposed to be doing? Cutting corners!

It’s often faster. When you process non-English text in UTF8, branch prediction fails all the time because all characters have random size from 1 to 3 bytes. When you process non-English text in UTF16, branch prediction predicts all the time: surrogate pairs are extremely rare so the 99.9% of the stream is 2 bytes/character.

Where Are the Corporate Patriots?
I actually made money off of an exclusive back in the GameCube day. They did The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition for the GameCube that had both games released for the NES and Nintendo 64, with the former including revised texts fixing the original mistranslations, a demo of The Wind Waker, and various promotional videos.

It was going for 50-100$ on eBay. The only way to get it was to get a subscription to Nintendo Power during the promotion so... yeah.... I was getting a few dozen Nintendo Power magazines in the mail every month for a year and pocketing 20-70$ per subscription after the sub price and eBay/PayPal fees.

Funny thing was, if people messaged me and just asked how I got the copies I flat out told them "just go get a Nintendo Power subscription".

Unclear if this is a joke - tesla’s cost much more than most sedans - the market for most us sedans is not the same.
They killed the Chevy Volt, the only interesting sedan in GM's entire line-up. Incredibly short-sighted. Love it more than any car I've ever driven, despite it lacking in many of the 'creature comforts' of other cars. Fun to drive with excellent acceleration, I drive it 91% electric, and when I flip over to gas it's an excellent performing highly efficient hybrid.

Sad.

EDIT: I should add that really the Volt is not a 'sedan', but a 'liftback'. Far more utility out of the trunk than a typical sedan. My medium sized dog even fits back there.
The car market in its' totality has always struck me as being irrational.

It takes a large amount of number crunching to determine that an old small Japanese car has the cheapest TCO.

The same follows across the categories (e.g. the article's specific focus on sedans).

A whole bunch of mid-market brands seemingly exist for no reason other than for some groups of not-wealthy people to waste money in an attempt to impress other groups of not-wealthy people.

e.g. the German cars which seem to exist as some sort of indicator that someone can afford to burn money maintaining a depreciating asset.

It's basically the (non-smart) watch market, right. You wear a Casio-level watch if you don't care, a Rolex-level watch if you're signalling, and other stuff is basically an enthusiast market.
Why do elite decision makers, CEO's, boards of directors, make decisions that will certainly have adverse effects, that will literally kill people (eg. Trafigura), just to make more profit? Despite the fact that they are all already individually multi-millionaires and could not really materially improve their lives with more money?

I've ruminated on this.

I think the only reason that could explain such excess is competitiveness. To them, it is like a game. Its not about getting another yacht, its about beating the other guy. I think its the same mechanism that will drive someone to grind for many hours in an MMO or suchlike.
There is no such thing as being "done" with security. You can as deep as you want, with as large a team as you want, and never be able to say "okay, we're secure now."

If basic ethical grounding requires security to be the top priority, and security work is inexhaustible, then it must be unethical to ever work on the product being secured.
