I once used a password which our IT department gave me and it was !'a;@,oq and at least for me it looked random enough. I had it as a root password on a server and I enabled password login for about 2 minutes because I wanted to resize some virtual hard drive or something and couldn't be logged in as a normal user and then switching with su to root because then the normal user would have open files on the file system and I wouldn't be able to unmount or something.

Within those 2 minutes some chinese hacker scripts took over the server and started DDosing some chinese IP adresses. We had to shut it down and blast it and set it up from scratch again.

I later found out that this password was everything but random. It was difficult for me to see because I've been using Dvorak for a couple of years now and didn't see the pattern that it was just the first two rows of the characters on a qwerty keyboard. So actually it was !qaz@wsx (I just put the Dvorak version on top of the comment to give you the same unknown feeling for the password which I had back then.)

I've never reused any passwords since then and always create new ones with my password manager.

The most surprising part of this exchange is your expression of surprise.

Come on, dude. You fucking told us what you use.
As I stated, the market is largely efficient. I did not say it is completely efficient.

Also throwing out Rentech as an example just further proves my point.

The inefficiencies that Medallion fund is exploiting are extremely capital constrained (ie. They are very tiny). This is why they don’t accept outside investor money and even limit the amounts employees can have in the fund. The fund is limited to roughly $3 billion, because the inefficiency they are exploiting is that small.

An inefficiency of $3 billion in capital markets of roughly $100 trillion dollars is tiny.

All of Rentech’s larger funds for outside investors have not shown the same ability to beat the market.

Also, I’m amazed that you use Asness as a counterpoint, because if you’ve ever heard him speak, he would agree that the market is “largely efficient.” I’ve literally heard him say those words in person.

Asness’s entire hedge fund is based on Fama’s factor models. He literally makes his money by making the market even more efficient. He has admitted long-short factor funds like his have likely reduced (and will continue to reduce) factor alpha, hence why they need to apply leverage to make these returns significant.
This [1] is a study I read some time back that broke down the numbers. The paper was focused on the chiseling out of the middle class, as is this one. For instance in 1979 the middle class controlled 46% of all income, and the upper/rich classes controlled 30%. Today (well at least today as of 2014) the rich and upper class control 63% with the middle class left with 26%. There's even been a chiseling out of the middle class as a whole declining from 38.8% of society to 32% of society.

But the eye opener is this. This is the change in the size of each economic group between 1979 and 2014 as a percent of the total population:

- Rich: 0.1% -> 1.8%

- Upper Middle Class: 12.9% -> 29.4%

- Middle Class: 38.8% -> 32%

- Lower Middle Class: 23.9% -> 17.1%

- Poor or Near-Poor: 24.3% -> 19.8%

Since statistics like this are certainly subject to biased interpretation and 'massaging', this [2] is a wiki section on the political stance of the Urban Institute. In any case though the paper is very readable and methodology very transparent. I found it all eye opening to the point that it actually changed my worldview. America is doing something very right economically. Note the increase in the upper middle class is more than double the decline in the size of the middle class meaning in that time period you also saw people moving from poor or lower middle class to upper middle class.

I'd hypothesize that what you're seeing is simply less of a bubble. 15 years ago the internet was much more of a luxury and the individuals using it were reflective of that. Now it's ubiquitous and the class distributions are much more balanced.

I'm probably just an old fart or not getting it in some other way but I was thinking about this the other day. For whatever reason the status seeking culture really really annoys me. I feel it's "wrong". I'm not religious but I know the Bible has more than one passage about seeking status = bad so maybe that's where my thinking is influenced.

So, seeing all the status seeking on Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, Twitch, Twitter, etc. and mostly feeling out of touch with that culture it got me wondering what changed. I think what changed is that before all these services, before the internet, the number of people seeking status I could be exposed to was pretty small. It was either certain celebrities, not all of them but a few stuck out as status seeking. Otherwise it would just be the occasional person I might meet at some meetup/trade-show/friend-of-friend/convention that really set my hairs on end and was happy was not part of my everyday life.

Now though it seems it's practically the norm. Maybe the percentage of such status seeking people has not changed, I have no idea, but clearly all these services have made it possible for most of them to find an audience of at least 100 to 1000 people and for me to run across them one way or another. Instagram has lists of the top status seekers, as does TikTok, Youtube, Twitter, etc... I was having a coffee in Brentwood LA a couple of years ago and heard some teens arguing and bragging about who had more followers. This American Life had a segment on teen life with social media and the new rituals of likes.

Anyway, I have no idea of all the status seeking I now see is just it coming out in the open from being hidden or if it's a new thing promoted by it being so easy now. I also have no idea if it's good or bad. My gut says "bad" but that could just be old man thinking.
I also believe you can apply the "do one thing per line" here. it's a bit weird to do math directly in the constructor argument.

You take a gene from a plant, change the codons to whatever yeast uses, and then you put it into the yeast DNA.

The hard part is that presumably multiple genes are required to produce a compound, and getting all of them to produce stuff at the right rate is probably difficult as well, since we don't 100% understand how to regulate gene expression.

Quote from Niklaus Wirth:

> ... I would feel utterly incapable of constructing a good compiler for Ada.

Source: The School of Niklaus Wirth - "The Art of Simplicity"
I was a fan of Python and Lisp, and skeptical of functional programming (with full referential transparency). I knew many people praised Haskell, but in particular, I didn't understand how it could replace Lisp macros for building abstractions (the article http://www.haskellforall.com/2012/06/you-could-have-invented... changed my mind on that).

I was also skeptical about static typing. Then I tried to program in Haskell and I was able to do what I was unable to do in previous languages - write short enough functions that focus on one thing, and which compose in type safe way. So now I am a big fan of Haskell, if you don't particularly need speed (Haskell can be made fast but it takes quite an effort) then it's a great choice of language.

(Interestingly, common refrain of many comments here is "then I tried it"; I suggest that you really do, if you are personally skeptical about something, but there is a reason that suggests you might be wrong.)

Scala.

When I started learning Scala, it was such a breadth of fresh air and I enjoyed it. Cut to 5 years later, it offers so much flexibility that using it in a team results in significant overhead and becomes very easy to introduce unnecessary complexities in the code. My personal experience has been that proficient programmers in Scala are more into the language than the product that all they want to do is refactor the code with next strongly typed library (scalaz, cats, akka streams to monix). Combine this with not so involved manager, it affects the team dynamics and not meeting deadlines regularly.

I don't see the language itself as an issue, I do like Scala but it is one of those languages where one can try to do the same thing multiple ways again and again that there needs to be a strong guidance and captain to steer the team and keep course.
Not as easy to hand over to the customer at the end of a project though. We either manually enter the passwords in a digital vault under their control, or hand over a printed paper dossier with the access codes in it for them to do what they wish with them.
First -- over a few years -- I had slowly started writing functional-ish code in Ruby on the backend and React/Redux on the front-end.

Ruby is kind of nice in that there's not an easy way to iterate over a list without functional code. You start mapping and reducing pretty regularly, and then discover the power of higher-order array functions, and how it lends itself nicely to functional programming.

React/Redux is nice in that it pretty much forces you to wrap your head around the way functional programming works.

React/Redux was definitely a step up from Spaghetti-jQuery for me, but I'd stop short of calling it an enjoyable experience. It wasn't until I started playing around with Elixir that I really fell in love with functional code.

In a lot of ways, Elixir is really similar to Ruby, which makes it pretty easy to dive in (for a Ruby-ist). But in subtle ways, its functional nature really shines. The |> is perhaps my favorite programming concept I've come across. It's so simple, but it forces you to think about -- and at the same time makes it natural to comprehend -- the way data flows through your application.

Don't get me wrong, Elixir is still very much a functional language. It's allure in that it looks like an imperative language and has a lot of similarity to Ruby is misleading.

The learning curve might not be as steep as say, Lisp, but it' still quite steep. And I think it'd take around the same time to be meaningfully proficient in either.

Glad I got my Elixir/BEAM rave out for the day.

Which is inversely correlated with the chances of it coming in any particular timeframe.

I'm the biggest fan of colonizing Mars, but my children know that if Daddy ever has the chance he is going to Mars to suffer, not to play. Mars will be hard and unforgiving. Life will be horrible for the first two generations at least. At no point will it ever be better than life on Earth.

And yet, I'll be the first in line.

I couldn't use it for my app as all its functionality needs to work in an airgapped environment. But in any case, I would consider offering a paid tier where you don't use it to send marketing messages.

I also believe that using it in the way you propose could cause you to run foul of GDPR because there isn't a way to separate the marketing message from the app functionality but I don't have a well formed version of that idea yet.

Usually,. the thing that you lose is scalability, availability any reliability.

You will need a remote backup and a secondary located service, just in case. Potentially a third development one to not push breaking changes directly into production.

Skipping any of this will make your service brittle in addition to not being scalable.

And it already hits the rule of three... (of "don't repeat yourself") that makes a lightweight Kubernetes deployment worthwhile.

Here's the study: https://wpcarey.asu.edu/sites/default/files/daniel_wolfenzon...

To describe a 7% change as "shrinks" is a bit of a stretch.

And to attribute it to solely to the requirement to disclose may be incorrect as there was only a 1.4% difference vs companies that were not required to disclose anything (the 7% figure is vs pre-regulation).

So wages rose for women post-regulation, regardless of whether the company they worked at disclosed wages or not. Meaning other provisions in the law also likely played a role in the decrease of the gender gap.

The study also references another study that finds:

> that firms with higher pay inequality exhibit larger equity returns suggesting that differences in pay inequality across firms are a reflection of differences
in managerial talent.

All just food for thought. Regulation and transparency can produce interesting outcomes and side-effects without making us any wiser as to the dynamics driving the differences in outcomes.

Not the person you asked, but as I understand it, poor people spend a higher percentage of their income on goods and services (because they have less left over after paying for basic necessities). So a higher percentage of their income is lost on VAT than a richer person. This makes it a much less progressive taxation method than e.g. Income tax.
