I think they updated the GPU at some point. I'm not sure they have great options for upgrading the CPU; the Mac Pro uses broadly the same ones!

I'm not, but I have a system that will do something similar: I target 70%stocks, 30% cash. If it gets to 60-40 or 80-20, I buy or sell enough to get back to 70-30.

Since I started investing in 2012, I've only ever triggered a rebalance through putting in more cash, but I'm making a list of stocks I plan to buy if my portfolio goes outside that bound.

I see your point, but to highlight a critical point of comparison: that's emblematic of the risk to healthcare.

Pensions were an actual benefit to employees, largely subsidized by employers and taking into account various employment factors e.g. length of employment, salary, etc. With the advent of 401k, that expense was shifted almost entirely to the employee save for a remaining "match" benefit that the employer still covered.

Retirement and healthcare are two areas where people are generally unable to operate with sufficient foresight, opting for plans and financial decisions that make less long-term sense.

Hopefully you see my concern. It's not in your investors' best interest for you to cap out the size of businesses that can buy into your service, but (and this is me dreaming) if you re-charter as a public benefit corporation toward this end, you may successfully build a supportive grassroots coalition to drive you forward within your target market (small businesses).

---

Beyond that, there might be value in your team offering collective-bargaining-aaS on behalf of your growing small business clients. That way you're extracting value not from employers/employees but from the insurance industry instead.

I'm not a direct manager for IT but I am involved in a lot of projects at our IT department. I used to be pestered into useless meetings all the time but now I just reject them and email people over issues that should really only take 5 minutes to cover.

Now I am down to one fixed meeting a week and I sometimes accept a couple more if the topic actually needs several people in the room to discuss.

I hate meetings!
If it's really your retirement money then presumably you are 20-40 years out from needing it. Cyclical recessions typically last 1-2 years, and even the biggest Black Swan events like the Great Depression last maybe 10 years. By the time you retire you will have largely forgotten about this.

(If your retirement is less than 5-10 years away, you should have diversified away from stocks years ago, and it's a little late now. Most target-date funds and financial advisors do this anyway.)
I didn't think this could still be true but apparently you are correct [1]. Wow.

That being said, there are factors to contribute to this:

- Essentially zero population growth [2]

- A government and a system that propped up an insolvent banking system that likely extended the downturn significantly [3]

- A massive asset bubble that we really haven't seen the likes of, not even in the subprime era.

I think it depends on the compiler?

In the example of that article, the only place that use the data structure is the when in the function that execute the data structure. A compiler may happily just inline it because no other where use it. And you lost no performance at all.

Or it may just decide to generate the result as it and you surely have performance problem now.
Not all new motor design promises are trash though.

The brushless DC outrunner motor, which used to be a niche design due to the complexity of the control circuits and expense of permanent magnets now seems to be used in nearly everything new. Most electric cars are moving towards it, electric bikes, hoverboards and escooters, and it's used in every drone, some electric powertools, etc.

I think it will be in next-gen trains, and will become the 'standard' motor to replace current uses of AC synchronous motors in factories, mostly due to its ability to brake and regen power when stopping, meaning it gets less hot.

The QSEHRA was kind of like the beta version of the new ICHRA. Many of its limitations have been lifted with the new regulation. QSEHRAs are restricted to under 50 employees, and have caps on how much employers can contribute (~$420 / single employee). We don't have those restrictions. Also, any extra employee contributions would still be taxable if you were to just cut QSEHRA checks as an employer.

I started getting defensive right after the election of 2016.

Modern history does not have an example of you know which party going on a tax cutting, over-spending, self-dealing, deregulation binge that did not end in a catastrophe. Add to that complete lack of competency when it comes to dealing with a not self-made crisis (a matter of time), and only a chump would think the good times would keep on rolling.

The market so far has absorbed the dumb trade war by pure optimism, and we only narrowly avoided a war with Iran. It all has been blind luck so far, and it just ran out.

Ah well, at this point I believe I made the wrong impression. I am actually quite an ongoing guy and easily bond with people.

HOWEVER, when in a work setting I prefer to grab the problem at hand by the horns and start wrestling it. I like small talk -- maybe even too much! -- and that's exactly why I gradually learned to deflect most such attempts by colleagues so as not to be in an awkward position later after I have bonded with 10+ people but got zero work done. :D

It's impossible to reduce your risk to zero. Everyone will eventually be exposed to the virus, and when it happens to you, there's some probability that your immune system won't catch it right away and you'll get sick.

The point of hygiene precautions is just to slow the spread. That will avoid everyone geting sick at the same time and overwhelming the health care system. A vaccine or better supportive treatments may arrive in the meantime.

You should also stay generally healthy. On that fateful day when you have your first exposure to the virus, the speed at which your immune system springs into action will make a big difference. Your chances are better if you've been eating and sleeping well and exercising.

To address OPs point, someone did do this. Someone (or more accurately, a lot of people) stepped in and introduced an artificial construct that constrains trading under certain conditions.

It's not intrinsically a "bad" thing per se and it was something already established long before the current set of conditions arose. But none the less, it's an artificial constraint introduced on trade systems that is likely beneficial.

Another good example of long-term decline is gold. In real dollars gold has never returned to its 1980 price. It went up 10x in the decade to 1980 and some people thought it would just go up forever. If you bought the dip after gold peaked, you're _still_ underwater.

Yeah, it's very similar conceptually to adding a scripting language. But the point isn't to add user extensibility to the system, it's to have an introspectable description of the program.

So in the scripting analogy, what you'd do is take the program you wrote in C++ or whatever, and write a little mini-language that allows you to express all of the functionality needed to write the game in. So for example, C++ features like template metaprogramming aren't necessarily something you need to write games, but "spawn an NPC" is a very common task, for example. You reduce this language to just whats needed to write the game with.

The difference from a scripting language is that instead of the game being written in C++, with a little interpreter for the scripting language, instead the C++ is just a compiler for the scripting language. You take the script description of the game, and compile it down to the final game.

That little level of indirection allows you to do things like optimization, but also lets you do things like easily swap out how the program is evaluated. For example, in a graphical game, you could skip rendering to the screen, or advance time in jumps instead of needing to wait for timers, etc.
I used to laugh that Kraft singles were labeled as “cheese product” instead of just, you know, cheese. Now I can appreciate Kraft for their “honesty” (even if it may have been mandated by law).

An argument can be made that the model shouldn't exist in the first place, and part of our comments here are to see if we can steer the founding team towards an alternative that extracts value from a different target, in this case the insurance companies rather than individuals or SBs. In a perfect world, YC wouldn't be hedging in favor of a deteriorating healthcare system in the US by betting on this concept, but that's spilled milk under the bridge, so the goal now is to help point the venture a bit differently.

No, you've incompletely identified fraud victims, and as a result have miscalculated the amount fleeced.

The scam goes like this: WF open large numbers of fraudulent accounts, this pumps up some of their customer stats before the fraud is discovered: They get to claim their customers do more business with them, use more of their products, and that they are seeing growth in various areas (more customers using each product). These stats are flaunted to investors, who assumed that the increase in accounts (a leading indicator) would lead to an increase in profits (a lagging indicator).

The investors would then put in money, boosting the stock price.. allowing the executives to sell their stock at inflated prices, allowing WF to raise money for less stock, etc.

WF committed fraud on their customers so that they could pump up their numbers and fleece money from their investors.

Even after the investigations started and they were notified, they hid it from investors for 6 months... the investors found out when the news picked it up.

The damage they've caused was much more than $3B.

Dollar cost averaging works for me because I didn't have those dollars sitting around last year. Like most people my main source of investment funds is my 401k contribution which is divided up over the course of the year.

I suppose in theory I should have figured out the entirety of my 401k contributions from the time I start my first job until I retire, take out a loan for that amount and invest it, then when I retire pay the loan off. The numbers work out on paper, but nobody would give me such a loan so in practice it doesn't work even if the tax advantages would be allowed for such a scheme.

If you're a little guy who believes that, say, 2019ncov is about to tear the world a new asshole, that's probably a decision you'd like to make for yourself.

I don't doubt what you're saying, but it's a matter of perspective. Sometimes the "panic" is the correct reaction. We're sitting on top of a perfect storm which is shaping up to be a massive potential black swan. And with the current circuit breakers, trading is only interrupted for something similar in concept to "the 99%".

Across all indicators, too! Oil price, US markets, international markets, t-notes, gold price, and a bunch I'm probably not aware of because I'm not a professional investor. China just shut it's economy down for two weeks. Long term outlook is rightfully poor.
