> do any HN readers invest heavily in actively-managed mutual funds or hedge funds where you aren't personally involved?

I believe 401k's commonly limit themselves to a group of funds and there is sometimes no "index" option, so I would imagine there are people who are in actively managed funds here.

On that same score, I find rolling one's funds into an IRA whenever possible (change of companies, acquisition of your employer) to be very helpful!
2018 was not a great year on the markets (regardless of feel-good business confidence in 2018), farms & manufacturing are getting killed by the tariffs. Your facts & my facts coexist in the real world.
That's an absurd comparison. It's a website not a country.

The reality is that truths without relevance are no better than fantasies.
> real estate prices being a risk.

Very much it, real estate is a collateral in great many gigantic debt packages.

A lot of Chinese multinationals have real estate wings exactly for this reason — providing a lot of collateral for loans and trust bonds.

The speculation is that a lot of real estate collateral is gigantically overvalued or simply does not exist
> The world doesn't really have a "carbon" problem, it has an energy problem

This is a very narrow-minded mistaken viewpoint. The world does have a serious problem with CO2 building up in the atmosphere. It also has energy need to sustain the current living standard and pace of development, but this is not a serious problem such as CO2! We could decide and enforce giving up the insane power consumption of today. But we cannot decide to pronounce the existing CO2 in the atmosphere and its destabilizing effect on climate to be a non-problem.

> carbon fuels are the cheapest, most abundant source of energy.

No, they are not. Carbohydrate fuel is the most convenient way to transport and use, but not the cheapest source of energy. The cheapest source of energy is renewables and possibly nuclear, if massive investments were made into infrastrusture and safety.
The problem is that it seems that people (not most, but sizable enough in my city that I used to see it everyday) seem to be okay with vandalizing the scooters. I can only think they’re more ready to do it belongs to a big company rather than someone personally.
Why should they? What sort of emissions do electric vehicles have? I suspect you'll say that generating electricity causes emissions, which is only true in some cases
I reject your Wikipedia links as authoritative sources on what constitutes a journalist as well as your contention that he's doing anything other than dumping documents (selectively).
Now explain how that affects users ?

Wow it seems trivial to trick Google's bots with these links. Have the page redirect until ad is approved, profit?

I'm sure it's easy to find their bot IP's too. Just make a bunch of terrible ads that nobody will click and see who visits the url.

Google needs to abolish this link policy, I don't see how it's enforceable
Aren't Jupyter notebooks R notebooks? Jupyter stands for "Julia, Python, R" I believe
Your annotations are actually quite useful, as they certainly seem to deflate the point that they were intentionally providing a political message - "assassinate Trump" and "slay fake news" / "hit Mueller" are opposite sides of the political spectrum.

As others have mentioned in the thread, it's just a plausible list of NSA watchlist words. (Unfortunately, my post here probably wound up in one of their datacenters now.)
It's important that documentation be clear, discoverable, and up to date.

Code-as-documentation is best-in-class at staying up to date, when it comes to documenting what a system does and how. Often the relevant pieces are very discoverable as you're going to make a change. For other goals, it's much less discoverable. Clarity depends on both how the software is written and who the audience is.

Tests-as-documentation are arguably a special case of code-as-documentation. Outside of the case of well maintained tests-as-documentation, code-as-documentation often has a hard time expressing "why" and distinguishing between what has to be a certain way and what just happened to be that way.

It also has some trouble expressing aspiration - "we've decided it should be this way, but it's not yet".
Given that we’re down to just three rendering engines of import, I really hope we don’t lose any more.

(Even if you consider Webkit and Blink largely the same, 2.5 engines is much better than 2.)
Adding an index on tags.name is likely not very useful on its own but adding an index with an uniqueness constraint to prevent duplicates is probably a good idea. Assuming there are just a few different tags records (<1000) then a sequential scan is generally either insignificantly slower or even faster than an index scan.

>Not the subsequent years of maintenance.

I'd much rather maintain this example than a code base replicating the same behavior without an ORM.
True, I thought long about including it in the list. Quality of life is probably higher on average, but in relation to freedom I would say the US comes up on top.

Even with a bad justice system, high property taxes, really bad healthcare, etc.

But from a European perspective, these are slowly becoming problems that a negligible compared to restrictions in Europe. Just an opinion of course.
I'm sorry but at 1.3K i was expecting a bit more, or maybe i'm just off but that price looks high to me.
An arched construction can cover more area with less material and without internal columns; this was realized back in ancient Roman times. So curves may be there for a reason. (The pond is by an artistic license, without doubt, though.)

The important parts not on picture:

* Small reactors units, built on a factory and delivered by truck.

* Reactor units are unified, so the economies of scale kick in.

* Full passive cooling, sufficient when all external power is off.

* Containment vessels for the reactor units, so the danger of any leaks is greatly limited.

What makes me wonder is the complete absence of a smokestack to siphon off any excessive second-circuit steam. The artist also did not draw an electric switching / transformer yard and a power line. Do they plan electricity egress by some underground superconductive cable? (Would be cool, but not cheap; currently only makes sense in very dense urban environments.)

You say that as if it's hard to remove.
I'm sure there are no other deals between MSFT, RedHat and IBM. The timing to pressure Linus into "approving" the CoC (MSFT is Platinum sponsor of the Linux Foundation) also fits well into the embrace/destruct-or-take-over strategy.
> Union of Concerned Scientists are an anti-nuclear lobbyist group.

Or maybe they are just concerned about a power source which has proved catastrophic multiple times in the past.
Depends on which part of the capital markets. In large-cap/mega-cap equities I think it is quite hard to add value with active management. There are still large inefficiencies to exploit in the small cap arena. December was a good example. In late December you had a liquidity drought where one could buy just incredible values for a week or so.
One of the bigger arguments is also in the production itself can be not very eco-friendly, eg: creating the batteries themselves.
Great tune and very funny! I especially like the last line of the intro (and chorus):

"My language brings all the devs to the yard

And they’re like, it’s better than yours

Damn right, it’s better than yours

I can teach you, but I have to charge."

There exists a fair amount of ML-driven rap song analysis & generation:

From a nonexpert viewpoint, that sounds somewhat similar to how fracking works. Do you think there’s a similar risk of the ground settling as material is removed?
Hi China, good luck buying oil without any Dollars.
There's also the GitHub extracts table available in BigQuery which allows analysis of the contents of the notebooks themselves: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/table/fh-bigquery:github_e...
There are energy recovery wheels, which take advantage of some sort of adsorbent to transfer humidity from the outbound to inbound stream and recover some of it (or the reverse, keep indoor air conditioned)
It's probably related to the fact that they're the top exporter and a top-5 producer of coal. The "Market" means you use what's cheap, and coal must be very cheap to purchase (and burn) there.

Further, setting up solar panel infrastructure is high up-front capital expense, and the Australian banks that might finance such expenditures are notoriously risk averse, and likely have plenty of assets tied up in the coal industry, so they'd have no interest in disrupting it. Toss in the idea that cheap coal probably equals cheap electricity, whereas solar would be relatively expensive (most countries get with now-mature solar industries circumvent this by subsidizing nascent solar generators).

That's a killer recipe for maintaining the status quo.
Yeah this is true but sometimes R notebooks also refers to R studio notebooks - https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/lesson-10.html
The title name, Game for Peace is like straight out from Orwellian concept of double-think.

> The new Tencent title bears a striking resemblance to PUBG but there are no dead bodies, while it plays up to a nationalist theme with a focus on China’s air force

It looks like the new title was 和平精英. not Game for Peace. Still, it sounds a lot like double-think.
> I don't think we could agree to the NDA even if we wanted to because I already tweeted about the incident before being offered compensation

NDAs usually exclude from the definition of confidential information anything disclosed before the fact. They also don’t typically restrict you from letting regulators, et cetera know things.

Unless you were planning on writing a book about the experience, the NDA probably wasn’t restricting you. Unless you were planning on going to court, the arbitration clause probably made your ability to seek redress cheaper.

Note: I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.
IBM Cloud Private is not as same as IBM Cloud. IBM Cloud Private is a Kubernetes+ product which is similar to Red Hat's Open Shift.
Where in Washington? I grew up in Vancouver and live in Toronto. Compared to Vancouver, winters in Toronto are horrible. For 4-5 months per year it's too cold to be outside for anything more than a few minutes. Aside from the west coast, the rest of the country is as bad or worse. It sucks and I want to either move back to BC or leave the country. Why waste 1/3 of your life trapped inside?
Every time I read about what China is doing to Uighurs, my heart sinks. Putting people in camps, monitoring their every move, coating it all with bureaucracy and lies. This is what genocide looks like.

And nobody has the courage to stand up to China. Not even to publicly denounce them.

Isn't this what the UN is for? To impose economic sanctions on flagrant human rights abusers?

(Please, no whataboutism replies, what any other country is doing does not justify what China is doing.)
Don't get me wrong, I love Sequel. But ActiveRecord is far more polished. And that starts to matter once you start needing to go 'off-script'.
Yes. My friend has the same Xiaomi Mi scooter that Bird uses, and we're in a busy Bird market. He usually parks it within line of sight and often has to pester riders to quit trying to ride it away. In one case, a Bird charger took it (assuming it was broken) and he had to trace it back via a GPS tracker he installed.

Even though it's very obvious it's not a Bird (no labeling, doesn't have the large box on the handlebars, doesn't show up on Bird's map) people assume its a Bird scooter anyway and start fiddling with the controls.

Now he U-bolts it to bike stands, and now riders leave it alone in confusion.
My in-laws were duped by this exact site, but through a different ad on Google. They were ensnared in it for weeks before we found out and told them to cease. :(
That’s not a commute issue though.

I've been accumulating a mental list of properties that would support less-exploitable, more-auditable paper balloting. This has a surprising number of the properties.

The main items I don't see represented are all roughly related to auditability for ballot chain of custody. I think issues/irregularities with the ballot chain of custody are probably good proxies for triaging hand-audit efforts.

The goal is knowing when ballots go missing, or turn up in unexpected places (but I'm not sure where the sweet spot is for securing that chain without making individual votes unmaskable). I think it's a similar process, with lots of identifiers, and lots of scanning. It would live or die by rapid, simple, reliable scanning.

This means scanning identified ballots into shipping boxes, and generating an identifier for the box based on which ballots were scanned in. A pallet gets an identifier based on the boxes that went in. Shipments get identifiers based on whatever combination of boxes/pallets they contain. Scan in boxes at the polling station and accumulate identifiers for the polling place. Perhaps per poll worker. Scan ballots out of the boxes, back into the completed-ballot boxes and/or trash. Cumulative identifiers for completed-ballot boxes, trashed ballots, and unused ballots are scanned back out of the poling place and at each step back up the chain again.
Why open source firmware is important for security
As a graphic designer, I see no problem with this sort of thing. I'm guessing the author imagined these gizmos being used by people who are looking to publish something that isn't completely unstyled but doesn't have enough non-textual communication needs to justify getting someone with the expertise to make a real design, (let alone creating a complete visual identity.) For example, this sort of thing might be useful for someone rolling their own site for an open source python module. In these contexts, I see no problem with decoration for the sake of decoration as long as it doesn't significantly take away from the message.
Akumuli - Time-series database
The format was clearly not created for large things like CSP rules.

If it was up to me, I would have placed the information at the linking tags inside the HTML (and JS, and CSS), or even extended the HTTP URI format in some way. There is probably a very good reason why people decided for the header, but I'm not aware of it.
But the user is choosing a Jupyter Kernel upon creation and the code is run on either one of the available Kernels. No code mixing within one notebook at the current point.

That price is high. If you go to Alibaba or Aliexpress you can find the same scooters for $400-500 or if you buy them bulk around $250-$300
I can't find a clear source for Kellogg's coining that phrase, but they definitely use "The best way to start the day" as a slogan. For instance, this Kellogg promotional flyer: https://www.kelloggcompany.com/content/dam/kellogg-company/f...

Page three is what you want, and it's worth looking at for a masterclass in garbage science.

The big header gives us "A cereal breakfast. Why it’s the best way to start the day." The subhead asserts "Experts worldwide agree: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day", which is somewhere between disputable and a lie. Below that is a list of wild claims like "People who regularly eat cereal tend to be less stressed, less anxious and are less likely to be depressed."

Wow! Let's see the evidence! Well, about half the studies listed appear to be directly funded by Kelloggs. Many that weren't are about breakfast in general, so "eat cereal" is a misrepresentation of "compared to skipping breakfast and eating unhealthy snacks". And they're full of hilariously poor controls - there's some fumbling with "difficulty sleeping" and a "negative job score", but ultimately the study can't discern "the benefits of eating breakfast" from "the harms of working the night shift" or "leaving at 5AM in a rush".

It's actually fascinating just how many bold, impressive claims Kelloggs manages to make without lying while relying on laughably thin evidence.
I think the file extension scraped on Github is only .ipynb, which is only python notebooks right?
Why can't we just stop manufacturing and using plastics ? Invention for the sake of invention ? Curious. The damage is already done, why keep insisting on using plastics ?
I think most people who suffer from actual depression, not a just a bout of sadness need long term treatment.
The NHS is poorly provisioned in this way, sadly.
Just like a diabetic who needs insulin everyday people with serious psychological conditions need regular treatment.
I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it, I don't know how I would cope if I couldn't.
I've been about 50-50 regional active funds and indices for most of the last decade. For the last few years, the active funds have been principally Baillie Gifford Japanese Smaller and Baillie Gifford American. I generally get into them alongside dull index funds in the same region; I'm into HSBC American Index C and Fidelity Index Japan, for example.

Generally, when I feel a region is looking good, I get into a mix of index and broad actively managed (with a liking for smaller companies). Reasoning... not much beyond thus far it seems to have worked out well. Those active funds have certainly outstripped the indicies, but with such a small sample size, I'm not so much datum as noise.

I wonder if there's a middle-place to be found between plain dull index, and mad-as-a-hatter active managed.
Once the body gets habituated to using fat stores for energy rather than glucose or glycogen, there's no particular need or urge to eat after exercise.
You are exactly right. People have a tendency to discount the production of the non-emission-generating thing in the first place. The energy and emissions required to build something like this is non-trivial.

It should be mandated that if you want to appeal to green-fingered consumers with your marketing, you have to state the emissions deficit from which your product operates and how many years it would take to recover from it with typical usage.
Folders are special case of tags.

Tags can be organized better - its easy to create tag exclusion groups, something that for example Gitlab recently added in the form of tag1::tag2 so when you put one of those any existing one gets removed

You can get folders from tags within VFS, for examle TMSU does this ( a x-platform file tagging system).
Yeap, this is why sometimes when i read some text, press press Space to scroll the page my brain has already started "reading" from the top of the page and then gets confused when the page has hijacked space and it didn't really scroll, the words do not make sense as they're not a continuation of what i was reading so i take a second to reorient my eyes around the page to realize what is wrong.
That's my take home. I hate being in a room that has no ventilation. I even get pains in my chest quite quickly. So have learned to always throw open windows if possible. All year round I have the kitchen window open when cooking. We don't bother heating the kitchen or bathroom (south UK rarely below 0). And I like to replenish stale air periodically by creating a deliberate draft for a few minutes throughout the house. If not it soon stinks. I am totally repulsed at the smell of burnt toast and lingering cooking smells, so wonder if that's a natural gagging response.
Haha I'm a big HN reader so I was happy to jump in :) Sorry for the delay, I'm actually on vacation back home (I'm an American from SF)

It depends what you mean by anonymity - if you're just an e-Resident (eg. you've applied for the status and gotten the card) then it's not public to anyone except you and the Estonian government. If you open a business however, then there is a large amount of transparency. Estonia is very very transparent, I can even see things like the age of the owner of a company if I'm so inclined to look it up.

To be honest, I haven't seen much in terms of restrictive policy in Estonia specifically with the exception of banking - Estonia is a small country of just 1.3m and most of the banks are foreign owned. That means there's not much sway we have domestically over policy and it's dictated from outside (mainly from the parent banks in the Nordics) and it can be tough to open a bank account as a foreigner if you don't have strong ties to Estonia. That said, this is getting tighter just about everywhere as banks try to comply with Know Your Customer regulations (however, my impression is that this is mainly brought on by the US rather than the EU and banks are so stringent because they don't want to lose their US dollar payment capabilities from correspondent banks)

There are a lot of interesting things about Estonia - I'll skip the Googleable things and say that from living there the most interesting thing is on one side how closed and yet how open the people are. To give an example, in my apartment complex I don't believe I ever spoke one word to any of my neighbors in a year, but for the people I met via some group activity or was introed by Estonians I knew from work, they are incredibly open and friendly (basically if you don't have a reason to speak with an Estonian they think you're incredibly strange if you try to initiate a conversation, but if there's a reason, they're very friendly people). The other really interesting thing I've found is the Russian/Estonian dynamic. There's still a large Russian minority of people in Estonia from the Soviet days and some communities are not integrated at all, there are constant political debates about forcing schools to only teach in Estonian (there are currently ones that have all Russian courses). So you have a situation where there are people born and raised in Estonia but who don't speak the language and live pretty much only in Russian communities and have a different worldview of many Estonians.
Because most electricity still comes from natural gas and coal. Nuclear energy still produces nuclear waste which has to go somewhere. Unless someone is relying purely on wind or solar, which is rare, they're still creating pollution by-proxy when they're charging their electric vehicle. You can't call it "zero emissions" when the emissions are just out of sight and out of mind.
I'll add that some of these sentiments are cyclical. We have been in an environment for the past half decade where the greatest engines of growth were the megacap leading tech companies. When the largest are in the lead like that it is difficult to differentiate versus the indices. Second, this has been a tremendous bull market. In this kind of market nearly every hedge is a bad hedge which doesn't mean it wasn't a very prudent hedge ex ante.

A flat market is in many ways the best place for actively managed long-short funds to differentiate themselves. Given where overall market valuations are we are probably past the point of double digit market gains for a while (although I could have said that years ago). So I think that skillful active managers will be better positioned. That said, I recognize that I am an active manager so 1. I may be talking my own biases but 2. I think I can differentiate real investment skill from charlatans, which is very hard for even very smart non-professional investors
