Market timing may be impossible, you can still observe that it's getting irrational.

Observe crypto currencies at the peak, people were talking nonsense that was never going to be true, and it was quite obviously a bubble. That irrationality just makes it harder to predict when the crash will come.

Yield curve is a somewhat rational measure, bubbles aren't rational (from a financial perspective).

BTW I was given 0.01 of these new fangled bitcoin years ago and promptly forgot about it. I sold in October before the crash. I make no claims to be any kind of investing expert, but I assume that counts as putting my money where my mouth is.
I did this too, to a friend rather than my parents, as my parents are less technologically literate, and aren't likely to outlive me or my Google account.

Fortunately, because it's a friend, the message is largely just memes about death to provide some levity to the situation.

It isn't something either of us expects to happen any time soon, so it's easier to be glib about it, and not overthink it.
"When everyone has a degree, then no one does."

Wait, what? "When everyone can read, no one does"?

Your assumption for that statement to be correct is that degrees have no real underlying value except as a discriminatory tool.

10% is probably to low. I'll guess somewhere around 30-40% (of non senior adults).

No, it is ridiculous.

A public speech in which one says “we are effectively supporting the freedom of European states with this liquid natural gas export” may not be ridiculous, but once you strip context and just start calling it “freedom gas”, you’ve jumped the shark.

King Hubbert was laughed at when he predicted in 1956 that USA oil production would peak in a decade or so. It did.

http://www.hubbertpeak.com/hubbert/1956/1956.pdf

In 1998 Campbell & Laherrère predicted "The End of Cheap Oil" before 2010, due to the peak of conventional oil.

http://www.oilcrisis.com/campbell/endofcheapoil.pdf

The International Energy Agency called them "pessimists" :

http://petrole.blog.lemonde.fr/files/2011/04/weo1998.1302253...

In 1998-1999 the price of an oil barrel fell from $30 to $20.

In 2008 it reached $160.

These days it fluctuates between $40 and $70.

https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-cha...

In 2010 the same IEA said that conventional oil production had peaked in 2006.

https://www.iea.org/publications/freepublications/publicatio...

And while the USA is fairly close to be a [net exporter of liquid hydrocarbons](https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2018/12/09/no-the-u-s-i...) (not crude oil), the future of tight oil doesn't look good - Laherrere seems to forecast peak tight oil for 2018 :

https://aspofrance.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/lahall19march...

(it takes a while to collect the data...)

Sure, maybe we'll figure out how to economically extract even less conventional hydrocarbons (like shale oil = kerogen, which you have to "cook" before it can be used), but these will be even more expensive and polluting !

>It reads like they took the 'myth' that "Some cravings are based on nutritional need" spun it into the strawman "All craving are based 100% on nutritional need" and then spend the rest of the article smugly congratulating themselves for tearing down their strawman.

It's not really a strawman if people really believe this (and justify all/most of their cravings as nutritional needs).

For those people, it makes sense to tear this idea down.
Thank you for this motivational work.
Well, up until the 60s, it was also illegal to marry outside your race in some states. So should someone have been arrested if They let an interracial couple live with them? If you think this attitude is old - according to one survey, 20% of all conservative Christians in Alabama still think interracial marriage is a sin.
"UNIX filenames are semi-arbitrary bags of bytes"

That's what I'm thinking (most experience is with Linux). So it isn't as if π is represented internally as 'π', it is just a bag of bytes, so trying to make more sense of it than that, is in a sense wrong.

Edit: I guess I'm assuming the seemingly obvious step of checking for valid input? I mean if you get a bag of bytes and start trying to do utf-8 things on it, without checking for errors.... Is that what were talking about here?
Yeah, it's time to unscrew the write protect screw.

I'm wondering how Firefox for Android manages on ChromeOS. For now it's too slow on Crostini. But my cheap Chromebook is not performing well with both Crostini and Android containers. So straight up Linux should be hopefully better.

It's certainly harder for my old Tegra K1 Chromebook.

Software is not about code. Software is a reflection of culture. The code is a means to a social end.

And if everything about a culture is broken - the relationships, the management insight, the goals (collective effectiveness and pride-in-professionalism vs individual ego and greed), the hiring and HR systems, the procurement, the sales - any software that crawls out of the swamp is going to reflect all of that.
Yes: Swift groups by grapheme clusters, and Rust makes it difficult to do byte indexing.
> The main reason Chrome is so popular is because tech people have been saying "just use chrome" for forever.

Utter bullshit.

Chrome is dominant due to two factors:

a) Distribution deals by Google to bundle Chrome everywhere they can. (Including shady crap like 'warez' sites, illegal music, OEMs, etc.)

b) Google aggressively peddling Chrome on their properties and making them deliberately slow and buggy with other browsers.

It's not a coincidence that Gmail suddenly became slow and buggy under Firefox with their latest redesign.
Well, if we're fighting fire with fire, they know because you put in a little dialogue on the page that says, "switch to Firefox for better performance".

No, it's not obvious. If you don't have any idea how it works, it's easy to read in that statement that not including telemetry in the browser prevents all tracking, including by sites.
And we have found better ways on a newer platforms not to implicitly trust apps with unfettered access to user data and surprisingly enough, no one has started rounding up people en masse for looking at cat videos....
So, Foo stores your backups, but goes bankrupt.

Bar takes over the remaining business, deletes your backups first, and then sends you a new contract?

It’s not that they have the data, it’s that they split it from the associated contract.

Bankruptcy has little to do with this. It could also happen when Foo stayed in business, or when Bar took over or merged with Foo, without it going bankrupt in-between.

The only difference is that, with bankruptcy, there may be a third party that’s guilty of splitting the data from its contract. If Foo is bankrupt, it doesn’t exist anymore, and Bar may buy the data separate from its contract in good faith.
Amazing research. please write more about Semrush. Thanks

I agree that high quality software is usually more cost effective than lousily-put-together software, but not in all cases.

If you are building something new, as the article recognises, or in some cases you don't have a lot of experience, or you expect to grow fast, etc., what you build will have problems anyway, it might soon become obsolete, unmaintainable or ineffective... and then die. You should still have a decent plan, but in these cases it would be more effective to not bother much about high quality. You need to be really prepared in order to write high quality software in a business environment, and that's not something achievable through just will, in a reasonable amount of time. You need to understand sometimes you lack experience / definite direction / resources / ...

If you have the experience, a clear scope and goals, then high quality might indeed be the most effective way to go.

When building your own, small projects, high quality might be the way to go too, as you won't hate what you are doing and you will learn much more. Here effective would mean a very different thing.

But I think that considering the effectivity of code in different contexts is a better perspective than talking about quality. It's always a good idea to spend some time considering the architecture; it's always a good idea to keep things modular; to keep code as easy to delete/replace as possible; to write as little code as needed. But the quality? Well, it depends. What's even quality? (and I'm the kind of guy that can't stand writing lousy or ugly code :D)

You still need an integrity check or signature on the encrypted data, otherwise it’s potentially possible for someone to tamper with the ciphertext to change specific parts, such as the permissions.

If you are encrypting using an AEAD cipher like AES-GCM or ChaCha20-Poly1305 then it is already built in. But AES-CBC and others need an explicit verification on top.

Noncoding DNA ≠ junk DNA! In fact, the latter is a subset of the former. Confusing the two is understandable since even scientists occasionally play fast and loose with the terms but scientists nevertheless understand that they are different. To cite from the same article you’ve cited:

> When there is much non-coding DNA, a large proportion appears to have no biological function, as predicted in the 1960s. Since that time, this non-functional portion has controversially been called "junk DNA".

And this is by no means a new discovery, functional noncoding DNA has been known for as long as junk DNA.

On Android it won't work I think. Some DNS queries will go exclusively through Google DNS - ads mostly I am afraid.

> How much time do you spend as a parent teaching or overseeing homeschooling?

Its a busy schedule for my wife, granted we have 3 kids. She also works part-time at their nature camp

> Are you encouraging your kids to go to college?

Depends. I plan on enrolling them at the local community college by age 14-15.

> And if they did want to go to college do they realistically have the option to pick the school they want?

I want them to attend community college then transfer, which is what I did and I transfered to a public ivy school

> Any state or country requirements you need to adhere to in terms of curriculum?

No requirements here in MI, depends on your state.

> Have your kids ever expressed an interest in going to school?

Nope.

> I can see homeschooling work well for disciplines like math or programming but have any of your kids expressed interest in something like medicine or law where prestige matters a lot?

Why would that matter? Top tier colleges are looking for/encouraging homeschool applicants because they are generally very independent thinkers and self-directed.

> Are kids really self motivated to learn anything?

Definitely. For example, my one daughter loves birds and is studying everything she can find about the local bird population. Kids are naturally very curious.

> How much structure do you impose?

This depends on the homeschooling family. We have a decent structure now but other families use no structure.

> Do you find that they do more projects and experiments as opposed to reading theoretical stuff?

50/50 I would say. They are still young so the reading is not like deep theory on anything yet.

Would you consider that a non-standard usage of "shelter"? I had a quick look online and I'm seeing definitions like:

a place giving temporary protection from bad weather or danger
A heuristic that I've noticed:

There are exceptions to every rule, but when someone says that they are the exception to the rule they probably are not.

For example, we all know people who are lovable ###holes. However, in my experience people who think they are lovable ###holes are generally just ###holes.

My theory is that this is because people who are the exception to the rule are vigilant not to go to far, work to improve their flaws, or try to compensate. On the other hand, people who say they are the exception to the rule do so to use it as an excuse for not doing those things.

Applied to this topic; I'd argue that if someone says that for the software they are working on it isn't worth the cost to do refactoring/code reviews/write tests then they are probably wrong.
This is a joke timeline, "freedom gas" are you serious ??
Elected officials in Google's home country have made the decision. They decided to make marijuana illegal at the national level, they decided to make facilitating financial transactions supporting sales of illegal drugs also illegal and they have repeatedly choosen not to change those laws. More recently elected officials have decided to appoint law enforcement officials that are less willing to overlook violation of federal drug laws in states that have legalized marijuana at a state level. It is this later move which has most likely made Google decide to make the changes in their content policy. So in effect Google is doing exactly as you suggested, allowing elected officials to make this decision.

TL;DR here's the most important paragraph:

>Ultimately, the new study finds limited support for the idea that being able to delay gratification leads to better outcomes. Instead, it suggests that the capacity to hold out for a second marshmallow is shaped in large part by a child’s social and economic background—and, in turn, that that background, not the ability to delay gratification, is what’s behind kids’ long-term success.
I think we should remember that the vast majority of computer developers and engineers will not, and probably never, work on stuff that requires deep understanding of things like data structures and algorithms, even those with advanced degrees. Most are just, how to put this, IT janitors.

To use your mechanic and mechanical engineer analogy: They're not even mechanics, they simply change the oil and light bulbs from time to time, along with cleaning the interior.

Not saying that it's not useful - you'd get a much better understanding of things...but this obsession with learning everything under the sun just to be "ready" for the job is overkill
The Android Firefox browser is great. Not only does it do everything you expect a modern mobile browser to do, but also supports extensions, including uBlock Origin.

You can do that rather easily with curl (comes with Windows nowadays) or wget.

> thermodynamic limits impose a cap to energy growth lest we cook ourselves .. I’m talking about radiating the spent energy into space

Huh? This seems to be a critical premise for establishing a crisis, yet it's incoherent and essentially imaginary.

Ok, some ways we use energy have poor thermal efficiency. Light bulbs are the classic example, but look at the improvement from incandescent bulbs to LED's. Most uses of energy just move heat around within the environment, and if anything that would tend towards thermal equilibrium (a sort of microcosmic 'heat death'?), not "cooking".
> Rust makes it difficult to do byte indexing.

Not sure how. If you want to get a specific byte, just convert to a bytes slice (that's free) and index that. And you can slice strings (using byte-indexed indices), but your boundaries have to fall on codepoint boundaries. The only thing that's difficult is getting a codepoint at a specific index (byte or otherwise).
