Strong recommendation for the StrongLifts 5x5 iOS app. That said there are some downsides to 5x5.

- the lifts in it are simple, but also very easy to hurt yourself with if you don’t have good form. Form work is not emphasized.

- there is no flexibility work in it. It’s basically impossible to do strength work without flexibility. To the point 5x5 should likely recommend yoga as a central component or something.

- while big muscle groups are very important, for lots of people isolated muscle work is necessary to fix imbalances, old injuries, etc.

None of that should discourage people but realize that the sticker claims of 5x5 about time commitments and completeness aren’t really true.
Hey congrats man. Congrats.

The 4% rule also only applies to people at retirement age => death (i.e. 30-40 years). If OP is only 20-30, that's not going to be guaranteed to work, you probably want to think 2.5-3%, though also keep in mind that your taxes when living off of capital gains / dividends (at least in the US) are going to be way lower - if you do it Right you probably will pay less than 5% federal taxes (CA state is a different story, though you can always move)

"Without a doubt the best 2D animation studio in the world" is logically equivalent to "without a doubt every other 2D animation studio is worse". This is needlessly confrontational, and "without a doubt" does not sound like it's just an opinion.

That was a bit of stretch, no? I agree with the other points.
I wanted to find out the unit of time of "every billion years" - first thought was "billennial".

Apparently, a millenium is otherwise known as a kiloannum; a megaannum is a million years, and a gigaannum is a billion.

So, a reasonable universe should be getting gigaannual checkups.

It's absolutely not about the replacement cost of stuff. It's about protecting your assets from lawsuits.

No, you can't, unless your income is large compared to your assets and not dependent on them.
Imagine, if you will that the brain is an antenna, and consciousness is a soulful radio wave. If you destroy/make inert the brain, consciousness is lost, what have you shown? You may be tempted to claim that you demonstrated the fact consciousness arises from the brain, but this isn't the case here: The consciousness radio-wave still exists, but it is not being received.

The problem is a hard problem which may or may not be ill defined.

I'm sorry but this is a shitty response from VLC:

>The reporter is using Ubuntu 18.04, which is an old version of Ubuntu, and clearly has not all the updated libraries.

18.04 is an LTS version, many people (myself included) will be using this until 20.04 comes out next year! It is not old - it gets regular updates for both security and features - clearly the library for whatever reason is excluded.
There is also the matter of pre-emptive multi-karma. If you expect to be mugged then you will be. If you expect people to return your lost wallet then they will return it. Hence life works out better if one sees the nicest people one could wish to meet whilst in America. There is a good and a bad side to all of us, even the worst bullies can be nice on occasion. Same with thieves, there is honour among thieves, if you are in the gang they ain't going to trouble you.

Sorry to hear you have been a victim of crime, but are you sure the culprits were American?

Why blame a local when politicians always present an omnipotent and omnipresent foreign enemy?

The thieves could have been drug smuggling rapists that weren't stopped by a wall at the border. Or they could have been from Liverpool, where a sense of pride exists for being light fingered. I doubt they were true Scotsmen though.
The community here is divided wherever society at large is divided. Don't forget that it's international as well. That has a much larger impact than I think most readers realize.

I’m one of the few people who actually like and prefer email. Because it is an open standard there are is a whole ecosystem of tools to help with managing it as opposed to be locked into a single vendor’s default experience.

The thing I’ve noticed with people who HATE email is they try and treat email as though it’s an app like Slack and they let themselves be constantly interrupted and respond to things as they come in.

My system is pretty simple. I have specific times during the day where I check email. Otherwise it’s closed. When I check, I look to see if it can be deleted/archived, is it actionable, does it need to be dealt with now or later. I NEVER respond to emails while triaging. All I’m doing is clearing the inbox and determine how things should be filtered. I also look for opportunities to create rules to auto sort a particular type of email.

The email gets put into to my task manager and I respond when I make it to that task on the list. I may set the priority depending on urgency but my goal is to treat responding to email like any other work task and not some special thing that trumps all other work. I think this is where people slip up. Someone sending me an email does not make them more important than the other tasks that I may be working on.
That's wonderful to hear. Will definitely give you feedback once I play around with the project in a few weeks.

>It’s as though someone created a very elaborate spreadsheet and carefully defined how the values in every cell would be related to the values in all of the other cells. However, if no one enters a definite value for at least one of these cells, then none of the cells will have values.

China has both, actually, so you don’t really have to choose. Those cities won’t fill if they are faraway from jobs, migrants go where they can make money even if they have to sleep under a ring road bridge.

I’d just put it all in an s+p 500 index fund

That's a lot of money to invest in the health of one country's stock market -- a successful terrorist attack (think a dirty bomb in NYC or even multiple cities) could wipe out a significant portion of that overnight - it will likely recover eventually (as it did after 9/11), but that's a time when you'll want access to your money

I'd diversify across countries, and maybe precious metals.
Keep in mind that you almost certainly now need to pay taxes 4x/year because your taxable income just jumped by a significant amount this year. Get an accountant to make sure to avoid paying $1000s in IRS penalties for underpayment

I say you're intentionally confusing two points.

>Being able to test your code out in the real world and dark launch a feature gives Tesla a ridiculous advantage.

You're intentionally dragging the rest of it into the conversation to make my point seem absurd.

Par for the course for Tesla defenders.
How did you make that amount? Was it also as an early employee at a startup, or as a founder?
> you do have to check if they render correctly

In general, avoid using font-based icons to avoid the problem you run into in your post above. :) SVGs are better in the vast majority of cases where you have control of markup.

Fonts are unreliable (esp on mobile) -- not enough that you should avoid them, but enough that you should avoid them for anything you need to look correct. I've seen websites and apps where not only do the unicode symbols not display, they get flat out replaced with different images, since some fonts organize themselves differently. And if they don't display, Unicode doesn't gracefully degrade, it just shows nothing.

It's always weirded me out and slightly annoyed me that emoji are associated with Unicode at all, it's a terrible format for accessibility. The more robust, markdown-ish way to do this would be to abandon attaching them to Unicode characters entirely and wholesale switch to the Slack/Twitter convention of spelling things out.

:smile: :thumbsup: :cookie:

That way your unsupported emoji degrade perfectly, can be translated into multiple languages or be given aliases, and are more future-proof/extensible. If someone has a viewer that understands an emoji they can just swap out the fallback text in-place. Emoji should be built like escalators, not elevators.

Plus, spelling them out allows you to use emoji like :squirtle_squad_robbing_bank: or :children_standing_in_cornfield: even though they haven't technically made it into the standard yet. On an unrelated note, for some reason the standards body has stopped responding to any of my emails.
I've been reading a lot about transit lately, and the one theme that seems to dominate cost and time overruns is reliance on contractors due to there being supposedly not enough labor.

Contractors bid to deliver an inferior product, because working to deliver a superior product will hurt their profit margins, and they are insulated from the fallout as all blame will go to the transit agency and not whichever dime a dozen contractor failed the project. By relying on the contractor model, these agencies don't need to maintain a bulky labor pool, but in the process for every public dollar given to project labor, a portion gets withheld for that profit margin. Privatization is fundamentally inefficient and has no place in public works projects.

Public engineering should be the most powerful force in this country, and for a time it really was. Some of the brightest engineering minds in the world are trained in our public universities, and many end up contributing to projects that are a net negative to society, blinded by the private sector paycheck and the supposed prestige that brings. LA Metro complains that there is a labor shortage, yet they provide regional transit to Cal Tech, USC (though a private school), and UCLA, serving the labor pool they claim doesn't exist. Public infrastructure agencies need to do a much better job at recruiting from our constant output of talent and preventing these students from being wasted in the private sector, working hard and wasting their years for someone else's dollar.

LA Metro also complains about a labor shortage in a region where 60k live on the street. If this was 1930, those destitute people would be hired and trained to build infrastructure. But this is 2019, and we can't even build homeless shelters lest they tarnish our sweet sweet property values.

I even state that I'm oversimplifying the problem.

Other manufacturers do have to account for legacy systems, you don't need to be in the industry to understand the relationships manufacturers have with companies like Bosch and know they're not in full control of their destiny.

But their advantage is not a "let's ignore dumpster fire financials quarter of quarter to earn them a multi billion dollar market cap" big.

Tesla is not worth 42B dollars because manufacturers can't figure out OTA updates, and the fact other manufacturers don't have OTA updates should be a rounding error when you list advantages that warrant that market cap. It doesn't take any insider knowledge to know that, just common sense, and for far too long people have been ignoring that in preference for TSLA hype.

I got out last year during the 420 nonsense so honestly I don't know why I'm even bothering with all this, the fact anyone needs more than that to see TSLA is not worth your time is interesting. Anything from that point onward was just icing on the bear cake for me.
One million refugees caused political crisis in Europe. What do you think will happen if half of Africa starts moving north because agriculture becomes impossible? And that's just the easy part.

I actually just made it up. Companies that come to mind are Scale.ai (doing data labelling stuff for ML that historically would have been done by outsourcing companies, etc), Flexport (freight forwarding, traditionally done via spreadsheets and emails), Checkr (background checks), Atrium (legal services), Oscar/Clover (health insurance), Cadre (real estate investing). There are tons and tons of them in the recruiting (really sourcing) space too: I'd say Triplebyte is an Ops Plus company, as is Sourceress and a couple more.

After in-depth data exploration and feature engineering I often spent hours or days experimenting with various sklearn models and performing hyper parameter grid search. Now I use an open source package, TPOT (https://epistasislab.github.io/tpot/), that fully automates not only grid search but also selection of the learning algorithm (SVM, Random Forest, K-NN, etc). If your data set is small enough for sklearn, then you should not be writing sklearn code manually.

For those that are interested, TPOT uses evolutionary algorithms to perform its search.
As everyone has said, the first thing to do is nothing. Well, that's not exactly right. You may think "No sweat, I'm in no rush to spend it" but recognize that most people that go broke... from bad investments. There's no dumber way to lose your money than investing in some stock that sounds good or becoming an angel investor or buying a bunch of rental properties or whatever "safer than the bank" idea you have right away.

Ok, that's easy enough... but pretty quickly you will realize that money is ALWAYS invested, whatever you do with it. Keep it in cash? Ok, you are investing in the U.S. dollar. And where should you put your pile of cash? FDIC only insures bank accounts up to $250k, so if someone grabs your login most of your money is just gone.

So it needs to go somewhere - index funds, CDs, mutual funds, etc. There are a lot of boring options with minimal differences and most financial advisers will encourage you to diversify money all over the place. I know some investment bankers and they say most of their high-end clients are more focused on trying not to lose money than make it with investing, so there is a very well-trod path to doing all this. Recognize that diversifying rarely protects you much from a sudden market downturn (check out 2008) as the economic engine is pretty well intertwined, so there is no need to go nuts trying to spread money everywhere.

Another reason to keep your diversification simple: pay close attention to the vig (the cut going to an adviser/investment vehicle). Not all index funds are the same and certainly not all financial advisers all the same. Especially when trying to be safe with money, too much can be scraped off by advisers. Flat fees are best for what you want, or you can do some research and do it yourself with some help from your bank. If you want to keep things basic for a while without any fuss, talk to an investment bank (like Schwab) and ask them to walk you through a simple distribution with cash equivalents and index funds. You can always adjust things later but please don't let your cash just sit in an under-insured deposit/savings account.

If you do feel the need to invest in stocks/business, read Warren Buffett's advice and make slow moves - a good rule of thumb is if you invest in a thing, make sure you would be comfortable if you couldn't touch it for 5 years. Anything less is not an investment but a gamble.

In CA, I also recommend umbrella insurance, not sure how it works elsewhere. The idea is if someone slips on your staircase and breaks their butt they could theoretically sue you for all your money - umbrella insurance covers your from that and most other things. Take small protective measures from unlikely but cataclysmic losses.

Finally, what to actually spend money on? There is one thing I read that has proven true at any price point: spend money on things that improve your everyday life. That might be getting something pricey for what it is, like an Ember mug that keeps your coffee warm, or something bigger like moving closer to work so you have an easier commute and gain more free time.
Profit is also priced in of course. You pay a public employee $1 to do $1 worth of labor, all swell. To get that same $1 worth of labor out of the private contractor, you need to pay $1.30 so that their C level employees get paid C level and their shareholders see exponential growth. It's parasitic and public funds should not be allowed to be skimmed by this by these bad actors.

Serious lifting or athletics in general necessitates cultivating competent time management, planning skills and self control/discipline. Even more so if you roll into dieting for maintaining weight class or generally aesthetics. Once a lifter exhaust all novice and easy gains which doesn't take long, it's down to planning multi week/month long meso cycles, trouble shooting and learning about about your body, refraining from immediate gratification - i.e. goal setting, developing weaknesses, fatigue management - just generally embracing slow and steady progress. It's one of the few hobbies that can't be rushed.

That said, most people never get this serious and conscientiousness is what separates a long lifting career and snapcity (injury). A whole heap of genetics as well, since people who are genetically gifted at lifting tend to self select for staying in the hobby. Instagram culture also doesn't help if your psychologically prone to social comparison. Finally if you progress far enough, there the cost-benefit ratio shifts from health to strength, from experience, some sort of injury is almost guaranteed. It's really one of those things that should be embraced in moderation for the general population. Moderation is really all you need, people only need to develop some function strength and musculature for health benefits. You don't need to deadlift 600 pounds to inoculate your hips from shattering after a fall, indeed the road to 600+ will probably messy you up in the first place.
