It's very unlikely that regulators and smart money would smile upon "wrapping" VCSH or similar corporate bond fund and trying to transform it thereby into a demand deposit account.

A bond fund like that, even with a relatively short duration of 2.65, is going to have significant price movement in the principal amount due to interest rate risk. (Not counting credit risk etc -- credit spreads could move significantly too in a financial crisis.)

A big rate move coupled with a big jump in credit spreads could easily move the price of the underlying by several percent in a matter of days.

Not so cool when your deposit of $100 can only be cashed out for $97 a few days later.
Agreed. And building on your point, I think even in the "late" era of Yahoo they had a chance of correcting course through their partnership with Mozilla.

Mozilla has a real vision, and Yahoo could have moved the vast internet properties under its control into conformity with Mozilla's vision in various ways, and given real legs to things like Persona, or the various other beautiful Mozilla Labs projects.

To me that's an ultimate what-if, and a missed opportunity for both companies.

So there is one thing that I always think when I see something like this. So if an article is replicated and stored on every user who reads that article once wouldn't that mean after some point a user won't be able to read any more posts because they have run out of space? Also, isn't it just collectively more expensive than just paying for a centralized service?

In the same note, where would I start if I knew nothing about p2p but wanted to build something like this?

> For music, software, and movies situation is more complicated - even on a physical medium - you do not own them, you have the license to use it.

I don't think this is the proper comparison of rent vs own for media content.

While it's true you don't own the actual content (in the sense you own a house or car), you do own the physical medium, and this gives you non-revocable access to the content. An EULA or other contract may still say you don't have an actual license or right to use the content, but it can't just make that physical item disappear.

When you 'rent' access (eg, streaming service), aside from obviously losing access if you stop paying rent, the actual content owner can decide to stop licensing the content and it will just completely disappear.

That's another thing I observed teaching calculus: a lot of students who have problems, are having their difficulties with the algebra they supposedly know

A. You're not alone. In the first video of his Calc I series, Professor Leonard cracks that "Calculus is the class you take to finally fail Algebra".

B. This is hardly unexpected, especially if there's any gap at all between taking Algebra and taking Calc. The simple truth is, you forget material you don't use. And most people don't use a lot of algebra in their daily lives. If even a semester or two has passed since you took algebra, you're almost certainly going to have forgotten a lot of it, unless you made a very pointed effort to keep practicing that stuff and focus on retention.

Robinhood's offering is indistinguishable from a cash management account at a brokerage. Short-term deposits, check writing, debit card, interest bearing, etc.

Fidelity Investments pioneered this product, and now it's available from others like Schwab.

But at Fidelity, the cash management account is distinct from the brokerage account. While the brokerage account is insured by the SIPC, cash management funds are swept into FDIC-insured balances at actual banks.

Looks like Robinhood is gonna lose on this one.

It sounds like you're conflating common law with industry regulations.

If I'm a fisherman in Florida, and I need to follow regulations for the fishing industry there, they don't have a stipulation that you can't discriminate against certain persons based on age, raced, gender, etc. when you take customers out on expeditions.

Why? Because that's covered by United States law.

Yes these things happened, and yes they are atrocious but they have nothing to do with the regulatory gray areas that these companies operated in.
And yet, lots of people own index funds. It's more like more and more people own tiny shares of lots of different things and don't make any actual decisions about what they own. Owning some tiny fraction of Netflix doesn't let you make any decisions.

The decision-making gets outsourced to managers, who pay themselves more and more.

On the other hand, consumers do collectively decide which products win and lose, even when renting.
‘Transmissible’ Alzheimer’s theory gains traction
Playing a snowboarding video game — after having gone snowboarding once — was very helpful for me. Seeing how the avatar lifted the edges of his board while turning helped me understand what I’d been doing wrong and made me a much better snowboarder the second time around.

Watching YouTube videos would probably serve a similar purpose, but the interactivity of the game made it especially useful for me (besides, YouTube didn’t exist when I learned in the late 90s). For the record, I played 1080 Snowboarding on the Dreamcast, may it rest in peace. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080%C2%B0_Snowboarding

> many of the people who want to make code available with a permissive license don't have an option that is common and well understood and that protects them.

The AGPL is that option. It is a copyleft license that explicitly regulates the 'public performance' of software (putting conditions on public performance of a copyrighted work is a right of all copyright owners, there's nothing "exotic" involved here) in order to close the perceived 'service provider loophole' where software that's made available as part of an application services platform is not required to make its complete source code available, including even modifications that are purportedly asserted to be "for internal use".
That may well be. Having not gone into space I can't speak authoritatively on that. However, I can say this: seeing the view from space is a visual experience. Visual experiences can be simulated, e.g. with VR, or high-def video. A simulated visual experience is very similar to the real thing.

Free fall is different. Yes, you can get brief periods of free fall on, say, a roller coaster, or by jumping off a high dive. I have done all of these things, so I can tell you authoritatively that being in free fall for 30 seconds, not strapped in, and with no wind rushing past you, is completely different than being in free fall for a third of a second (high dive) or even three seconds (roller coaster). YMMV, of course, but for me that feeling of floating is a big draw of going into space. I'm sure the view is very nice too, but I've seen it.
Article 34 clearly states that the breached organization must inform the data subject "without undue delay". Given that the event occurred in September, and it is now December, I would characterize that as an undue delay.

“The statute that we administer says that we protect money with a brokerage firm that is used for the purchase of securities,” he added. “On Robinhood’s help page, it says that you don’t need to invest to use Robinhood checking and savings, that statement is wrong. If you deposit money for any other purpose, it is not protected.”

So it is insured, unless they can prove it's not for investing?

> Things like that (CSS into JS/ typed JS/Elm) are done because the developers are not competent enough in their field, and instead of learning about it, they try to create their own solution for it

Broadly calling developers incompetent because they've developed/use tools that you don't like is not "disagreement," it's just an ad-hominem. It has no place in a technical discussion.
For sure it works, because it's the most primitive hack one can think of. But it doesn't scale when the filesystem locking gets in your way, esp. on slow systems. In Perl we did something similar with an embedded tcc, but then eventually switched to emit machine-code directly to memory, or using llvm with linked bitcode, as later done in postgresql.

My point is: people who actually need software version control to get something done are perfectly capable of learning to use Git, warts and all, in 2-4 days which includes reading some of the documentation and playing around with it.

Sure, they might have to refer to the documentation for some time after, and also have a personal "cheat sheet" for commands, but I completely believe it is doable, and over a slightly longer period of time they will not need documentation or cheat sheets at all.

Arguing that people, who are implied to not need software version control to begin with, would consider Git difficult to learn is a bit strange argument.
I always assume it does
I'm more inclined to the latter. Sure, they hedged their bets in their SAFT, but to say "our plan involves not being regulated, and we give up if we are" strikes me as silly.

But you're right, maybe they expected a different level of regulation than they were ultimately going to be subjected to, and maybe they just didn't communicate that.

Come to think of it, if I were a big bank, skilled in handling regulation, I might absolutely give a bunch of $ to a startup in this space, knowing I'd, at worst, own a big chunk of them, and, at best, prove out the market with someone else's time, then get to launch myself, with my own giant regulations team behind everything.

But that's probably paranoid.
While I agree that this was a bad investment for Verizon and clearly it's a failure in many ways, the justification for the headline is massively misleading. Writing down goodwill in and of itself is not evidence of anything. It's an accounting adjustment. The amount of goodwill on the balance sheet is just there to make things balance (thus the name) after an acquisition, and the goal is to get rid of the line item eventually.

I guess it makes for an appealing lede with the big number of dollars, but it's meaningless. Focus on the real evidence of failure, not the balance sheet shenanigans.

>Yahoo had a lot of social networking features early on, before it was really even called that: games, chat, personals, message boards (for stocks/finance, etc.)

Exactly. Yahoo had more organic pieces of a true social network than Google ever did. In addition to the ones you listed, there were their news properties, groups, fantasy sports, and later on, properties like Delicious, Flickr and Tumblr. They could have had something really interesting under good management (admittedly a huge caveat).

They had the pieces to a more plausible facebook competitor than Google ever did, and even Google's best potential seed of a social network, Google Reader, was mismanaged in a failure of strategic vision. In any case, I'm not among those who think Yahoo was doomed. They had the pieces to become something interesting.
Moving CSS to JS because of selectors? Hm, I often do the exact opposite. I effectively move JavaScript logic into CSS queries and data into corresponding tags/attributes. When I started doing that, my scripts became far more enjoyable to write, trivial to reuse across projects and orders of magnitude easier to analyze/debug (just run the query and see what it finds, mostly).

All things considered, CSS is a pretty good language. Selectors are a great query language, as long as your tags have well-expressed information.

CSS definitely needs something to address specificity, though. Maybe HTML needs an explicit tag or attribute to denote context, so that styles from higher level contexts would not apply to nested contexts. Purely from syntax perspective this could be addressed in CSS queries themselves, but I doubt such implementations would be efficient.

Another things CSS needs is some way to analyze it from scripts. It's amazing that there is no way to query/modify CSS rules from JS. It would solve so many issues with very little client-side code. You could implement CSS variables, for example.

I'm talking about interacting with actual styles. E.g.

let x = CSS.forSelector('article p').getRule('font-weight');

or maybe:

let x = CSS.activeRules['article p']['font-weight'];

CSS.forSelector('article p').setRule('font-weight', '10'p);

You can fake the last one by dynamically generating CSS on the page, but that approach has many issues that would be avoided if there was a clean programmatic interface.

With an API like this you could trivially post-process styles, extend core CSS functionality and even do some cool runtime analysis, like finding which rules aren't used on a page.

General CSS note. One thing I advise everyone to try is getting rid of any BEM classes for your components and replacing them with custom attributes. The idea is that each component (block in BEM) gets its own attribute and all the elements and modifiers go inside that attribute.

So instead of BEM

<div class="block__element block__element--modifier">

you get this:

<div a-block="element modifier">

or this:

<div a-block="element-modifier">

(By convention, custom attributes should always have dashes, so you never run into conflicts with core HTML standards and so that everyone can tell they're custom from the first glance. I never thought I would miss XML namespaces, but they sure would come in handy here.)

Not only it's shorter and nicer to look at, it expresses more useful information and can be queried in ways that's impossible with BEM.

To use this, you need to be aware of the following CSS selectors:

[attr~=val]
[attr|=val]

Those Art of Problem solving olympiad books don't have answers either with authors claiming same reasoning and in their defense I did learn a lot figuring it out myself.

Offering stock trades with zero fees is pushing you to make a bad decision. The vast, vast majority of investors should be making as few trades as is humanly possible, and the small fraction who should be making frequent trades are essentially by definition working with large enough sums of money that the brokerage fees are negligible.

This isn't to say you can't make money as an individual by day trading, but it is to say that the median day trader would have made more money by buying an index fund and sitting on it for a decade.

>But to say that "the only way" to do anything on the web is the height of hubris, and closed-mindedness. How will you know when the next great thing comes along, if you've already committed yourself to an "only way?"

It's not the only way to do web development. But it's the only way to structure UI for an application. It's the pattern native developers have settled upon and used for decades. That's why it's been so frustrating for me waiting to see this paradigm come to web development. It's what iOS/Android/MacOS developers have enjoyed for years.

The tooling is finally mature now, and it's actually fun to develop for the web these days. But before the modern React/Babel/Webpack development environment, it was really tough to build large scale maintainable SPAs without massive expertise. There were things like GWT, Closure, Backbone, etc. But the sort of "batteries included" UI frameworks and IDEs that developers enjoyed in native development was nonexistent on the web until recently.
