> ETF decay is real and always has been. You're better off shorting an inverse ETF than buying and holding SPX.

This is bad advice.

Entering a short position requires paying interest on the borrowed shares, which may consume any decay you're collecting.

Short positions cap returns at 100% and have the potential for unbounded losses. Long SPY (S&P 500 ETF) produced returns of 280% since Feb 2009. Short SH (Inverse S&P 500 ETF) yielded 84% over the same period. In order to generate similar returns, you'd have to increase your position size periodically.

The long position also has the advantage of providing collateral, whereas the short position consumes margin.
Yeah, diversifying is generally considered a good idea. You can talk to financial planners for help there. General rule of thumb, though, is get rid of all your debt first and foremost if you have any, and do low/no commission investments (e.g. ETFs). Of course, nothing really stops you from going all in on FAANG if you're ok with high risk.
What is actually shocking is that these data are made so easily accessible when you are logged into Google anywhere. There should be additional hurdles to view the entirety of a person's history with Google beyond merely being logged in. The potential for very easy and all-encompassing snooping (e.g. from friends and colleagues) is staggering!
Have we ever installed ~2500 GW of new photovoltaic generation capacity over a twenty year period? Of any individual generation method?

According to "The Shift Project" [0], we added over 1700 GW of fossil fuel generation between 1994 and 2014. Since less than 900 GW was added between 1980 and 2000, that was also "unprecedented", if we're using this weak definition of that word. We can expect any twenty-year period for any generation mode other than maybe dried-dung burning to be unprecedented in that sense. 1700 is still in the same ballpark for a smaller population with less economic development than we can expect twenty years from now.

It's also a question of demand.

OK, sure, maybe we won't need that much power. Maybe we'll need more. Maybe we'll need it earlier or later. Let's try to remember the discussion we're having, though. TFA is crying about the fate of nuclear. One of their cries is that nuclear is the only generation mode that can control greenhouse gases. In order to ignore the elephants called "solar" and "wind", they have to pretend that the growth in those generation modes will soon slow down massively. You don't save that ridiculous pretense by wondering about demand. The demand level is part of the premise of their whole ridiculous argument. If demand ends up being less, then we won't need as much solar and wind power.

>Schooling is generally expensive. Nothing compares to one-on-one attention from a skilled, experience teacher and that doesn't scale, so to have a better school, you really need to simply have more money to put into hiring more and better teachers.

Teaching is important, but I would argue that even more important are the goals and resources of the other students, which correlate nicely with wealth/income of their parents, and hence the neighborhood, and hence the school they all attend.

This is all barely noticeable when everyone is not so far apart on the wealth/income ladder, but over the past few decades, as that gets wider and wider, the data gets clearer and clearer about the consequences.
I'm using latest stable FF release as my main dev browser. Sourcemaps are supported just fine. For my usecases, I can hardly tell the difference between Chrome devtools and FF devtools. YMMV
San Bernardino you’re right. San Benito County has a different mine.
So, you're saying that technology has not positively effected people's lives? Are you saying that the number of people with access to the internet, computers, tech in general...better clothing and food is...not better than it was in the 90s? Did you even live in the 90s? Things that were once reserved for only the richest of the rich are now in the hands of the poorest of the poor. There has been enormous deflation in several realms that have absolutely improved people's lives or at the least improved their living standards. Almost all of your complaints have simple explanations behind them as well, and some of them aren't actually that bad.

The majority of student debt is held by a very very small percentage of overall students, and many of them came from wealthy families or are going into very rich fields.
Why don’t you fix it by removing it. Most web users don’t want native features overridden. It’s obnoxious. It breaks UI and UX paradigms.

Whoever thought it was a good idea should get shot out of a canon.

Decisions like this are why I do not support adding more functionality into web browsers. Most web developers have proven to be inept and incompetent. As demonstrated by this dumpster fire of a “feature”

>Why is there sudden anxiety? Why should we worry about Pizzagate now while we didn't worry about similar things two years ago?

Because Pizzagate, along with other fake news, misinformation and slander campaigns, appear to have contributed in a nontrivial way to Trump's election, and all of them are by definition complete and utter bullshit.

We should worry when obvious nonsense takes precedence in our political discourse over actual fact.

You seem to believe "Russiagate" is fake news, so why aren't you as concerned about Pizzagate or any of the other anti-left conspiracy theories as you are about Russiagate? Is fake news only a problem when it attacks the right, and only a solution when it attacks the left?

>They are desperate to understand how they can reverse it; but they refuse to consider that their ideology is simply unpopular.

But Pizzagate is not an attempt to reverse any trend, or a legitimate criticism of any ideology, nor does it present a valid political alternative to any existing policies. It's just an extension of an already established right-wing trope linking liberalism and supporters of progressive ideas (particularly gay rights) with sexual assault and pedophilia.

Again, we're not talking about actual news, but news that is literally fake. The Democratic Party does not run a secret sex-slave network and Hillary Clinton does not practice satanic pedophilic rituals. You and others may not support Clinton or Macron, but Pizzagate doesn't help your cause.

>Instead, the problem must be "fake news".

The problem is fake news. And the problem is people like yourself, who seem not to believe that the falsehood of fake news is actually a problem, as long as it targets the people you disagree with.
Ah I think I misunderstood your comment.
Hey all - I'm Roneil, one of the cofounders of Audius. We built Hedgehog to solve a specific pain point we faced - how can we get non crypto-native / non-technical users to sign up for a decentralized app? Current onboarding flows using Metamask and other alternatives were too cumbersome, time-consuming, and restrictive for our needs. We needed a way to generate a wallet on behalf of a user without them even knowing crypto was operating behind the scenes.

Hedgehog lives in your front end Javascript code. A user enters a username (or email) and password, which is used to secure a set of encrypted auth artifacts that are generated client-side and stored in the browser’s localStorage / on your (the application developer's) server. In this way, the encrypted auth artifacts can be retrieved and consumed on secondary devices without centralizing custody and control of the private key.

If the centralized server hosting the keys goes down, users can continue to access their wallet on the devices they already have. If the centralized server is compromised or operated by bad actors, the resources required to decrypt a stored auth artifact would be immense. However - this is why we recommend using Hedgehog only in low-to-no financial value use cases.

This approach is not without tradeoffs - but for the right use-cases we believe this will provide a needed alternative.

Happy to answer any questions you all have!

Most people here already dislike Google and Chrome, and are just looking for an excuse to promote Firefox. Realistically, I honestly don't see a world where there is no way to block ads on Chrome. Right now, it's not clear what the final thing will look like, so if I was you I'd just wait. We probably won't know for sure for months or a year.
Switch from Chrome to Brave
This feature (source maps) has been improving a lot over time. A year ago it was basically unusable, and today I rarely have problems jumping from console to debugger. We're even working on a way to show the original variable names in the scope inspector when paused in the debugger now.

On the other hand, Firefox's layout dev tools, like the grid and flex box inspector, are way better than doing the same task in Chrome, in my experience.
In C/C++ a common style is to use camelcase with an initial lower case letter for variable like things and with an initial upper case letter for constant or enumeration like things.

In what world is content creators needing to prove the footage they took is "real" a problem? Considering most content creators also do post editing I don't think that has any relationship at all to what's being discussed. We're talking about the kind of video that triggers a scandal, be it a police shooting, politician caught committing a crime, sex tape, etc. This is not the kind of thing being captured by "content creators". What's the purpose at all of what you're proposing?
> We keep expecting the internet to change this, and it keeps not happening. Why doesn't it? Why haven't remote workers or remote teams spread into the smaller towns and countryside?

Because there are benefits to living in the city even if your job can be done in arbitrary locations. It's easier to deliver goods and services (on a per capita basis) in dense population centers. It also means that people have much more options for entertainment, dining, socialization, dating, and plenty of other advantages. Really, the only disadvantage is space but that's mitigated by skyscrapers (effectively multiplying the surface area of a city). Urbanization is directly correlated to educational attainment, income, and other quality of life metrics. Urbanization is also nothing new. Humanity as a whole has been on an continuous overall trend towards urbanization since the industrial revolution. Really, the only reason why we weren't urbanized until now is because postindustrial societies couldn't function without >70% of their population working in agriculture.

Firefox 67 tried to switch to creating a new profile folder by default. It seems that the process might have gone wrong. It's likely that your settings still exist, but in a separate profile folder.
The best suggestion I've heard recently is, when someone writes a flaky test, that person needs to be the one who fixes it. (If you write flaky tests and I fix them, I learn how to not write flaky tests, and you keep on writing them, blissfully unaware of the pain that they cause every day.)

If only one person is writing tests, that's a problem you won't have, but what's worse... I think you have it worse.
It would have taken you less long to duck/google that than to type that comment, so I feel like I'm missing your point. Did you mean to emphasize that you don't mind sharing data with Google, or was it really just asking about if firefox sync exists?
I believe it is more about who get to have access to this and the social consequences of that. It could conceivably create a permanent class structure where those who can afford to have “perfect” healthy, smarter, longer living, and so on offspring will inevitably exploit that position. It could make me the wealth and class divides with better care and better schools the rich can afford we see today seem quaint in comparison.
Hey mcemilg,

You asked about NREC earlier but I failed to set up email alerts correctly (and that post is locked now) so I'm replying here if that's ok.

Hiring process takes around a month or two, depending on how schedules line up. There would be a basic phone/skype screen, then a in-depth technical screen on your areas of expertise, and finally an on-site interview. We try to get back to you on each stage within a week of each stage.

We have a bunch of employees that are on H1-B's right now. Let me know if you have any other questions and sorry for the late reply!

Better languages have moved beyond C++. I've developed software for over 20 years. I've use C++ for many of those years. Software languages and tools have evolved past C++.

Nice resources.

Made me think that there is still a gap between web publishing tools (like MediaWiki, WordPress, Drupal) and online spreadsheets.

Html pages are easier to open and the layout options can provide better usability but spreadsheet are more convinient to maintain.

It is also a danger that big companies like Google Or Microsoft dominate the publishing tools and govern the content.
Our particular web dev workflows likely differ, but I really didn't notice much difference when I switched from Chrome to Firefox with their Quantum release.
Firefox leaves a lot to be desired, but is still miles better than Chrome.
I switched to Firefox about a month ago.

Initially I ran into problems because I took on too much at once, I tried enabling uMatrix at the same time as I switched over. Once I removed uMatrix I was doing much better, and I'm saving it for another month or two.

Several features of Firefox are real killer apps for me. Adding a taxonomy to my bookmarks has really helped as I've moved more heavily into org-mode. I've started adding a couple of tags to every bookmark I save, that really helps with organization and recall. Beyond tags, the container tabs feature has been pretty amazing. Being able to sign into multiple Office 365 accounts is great, plus the obvious use case of "keep those few times I use facebook in their own special sandbox".

I've donated a few bucks to Mozilla, and I recommend everyone do that. Google seems to rapidly be heading towards 1990s Microsoft territory, with the added "bonus" of discarding apps that they lose interest in.

>> they should just propagate deltas and display current state. It's a different way of thinking about how UI can work, but imho it has a lot of benefits aside from just speed and safety.

That's how delphi does it. Connect widget to a data source and it will update reactively when data source changes. And data source is accessible without touching the widget. When doing a batch update on data, you can also disable widget updates in order to make rendering faster. It also works both ways, so when data is changed from within the widget, the bound data source will be updated accordingly.
It really doesn't help that much of the public conversation is based on the false premise that intelligence is primarily an environmental phenomenon and that heredity has only a minor influence or none at all. The blank slate model is severely incompatible with how biology actually works, and a civilization holding onto it when competitor civilizations are embracing gene editing technology and intelligence augmentation will guarantee failure.

I tried switching to Safari for a few months. Somehow it caused really odd beach balling and freezing of the computer. After a while I couldn't be bothered to jump all the various hoops to debug it, the solution wasn't simple or obvious, and switch to Brave, then finally back to Chrome when dark mode came about.

If uBlock stops working, I'll switch off in an instant though.
You could think of this as being hyperparameter tuning, but that would be simplistic. Previous approaches have tried to hold most of architecture constant and then scientifically report the results of tweaking a particular variable for verifiable results. Quoc has been working with evolutionary approaches to performing these sort of experiments with large clusters. Most of the results so far have been technically superior, but at the cost of complexity/understandability. Here though, is the logical conclusion of this approach done at scale: using evolutionary approaches to explore a large swath of architecture space, finding an entirely new category of convolutional networks, then working backwards to a formal/clean architecture and paper.
News by definition is a 2nd hand source of information. You are relying on someone to accurately report a situation based on the information given to them by their sources. There's always likely to be parts missing and it's important to look at all the "Clocks" to get the whole picture. With the web, it's very easy to think you are reading from multiple sources when in reality they are all owned by Verizon Media.
