I'm not sure why this headline is news.

Bond yields should be less than S&P dividend rates because with a bond, there is a much higher likelihood of getting your principal back (debt is senior to capital) that isn't there with underlying stocks of the S&P.

Also, the underlying stocks of the S&P can cut their dividends to 0 tomorrow without warning, so you need to price this risk in.
The everyone-knows-the-same-stuff thing was every bit as strong in the 90s as the 80s. Remember, the Internet was just mostly-text message boards and low-media websites until the very end of that decade, and most people, even in the US, didn’t use the Web much until the 2000s.
North Americans have often lived on 'the frontier' between civilization and the harsh conditions of the natural world. And FYI said conditions are generally harsher in North America than they are in Europe where distances are shorter, the weather is more temperate etc..

Also, many North Americans descend from farmers who actually owned their land, developing very much a communitarian/entrepreneurial attitude.

Also, during the cold war there was a real threat of collapse.

This attitude exists to this day.

While we make fun of these people like this, I don't see it as a bad thing.

Reasonable precautions are good, but also, having a small number of people take 'extreme' precaution is possibly a good healthy as well.

Is this more common throughout history or only common in today's modern market of cheap interest rates?

Blood Bowl is outstanding. I used to play with friends in high school (I had a dark elf team) and still have my miniatures and board.

If you play PC games there is an equally excellent PC version, Blood Bowl 2.
Ageism cuts in both directions and it's one of the few forms of prejudice society still tolerates for some reason.

Imagine this guy's post if you substitute "too old" with "black" or "female" (or "male"). It would be cut down quickly and yet here we are expected to laugh at things.

What I hate about ageism most of all is it makes it impossible to have any kind of discussion about the real merits and demerits of things if there's some kind of new versus established nature to it. In certain circles, there seems to be a false, pervasive assumption that what's new and popular among the young is better, and that uptake is just inhibited by creaky old folks; in other circles there seems to be an assumption that's what's old and established among the older crowd is that way because it's superior.

The reality is that some established products are established because they are so great; and other products are great because they address limitations of existing products. But once you bring age of critics or advocates into the mix, it's all over because someone starts slyly looking at their pals over their shoulder and dismissing the discourse as due to youth or age.

I've been on both sides of this, as someone the same age as the author, and it's infuriating. There are products that my generation grew that I never adopted because of concerns, and now it's the young trendy thing to do to abandon them. There are new products that are overhyped imho because they solve problems that never really existed, but the wheel gets reinvented anyway because of the constant need for people to brand themselves as innovators. On the other hand, there are new products that finally exist that I wish everyone would take up, but don't because of old products that should have never become as popular as they did, or because of the vagaries of network effects, fads, and so on.

So this person doesn't get Facebook Stories or whatever the hell it is. Fine. Is there anything wrong with that? No. Can't we talk about that? Why does it have to become about age, even if he's doing it through self-deprecating (humblebragging?) humor?
They focus on that because it is the most insane thing ever.

Title should have been, The markets are fucked, we are all fucked.
The reason why “the internet is broken” is because of ads. Ads incentivize tracking and clickbait. In the end, ad companies, such as Google and Faceboook, act in the interests of advertisers, not users. Brave is an ad company.

On the other hand, companies which are supported by user donations act in the best interests of users. This includes websites such as Wikipedia and the Internet Archive.

Brave does offer the option to make a “tip” to websites, but it’s hardly necessary to have Brave be the middleman for all user donations.
Regarding the Apple's FileVault bit, are you referring to the recently disclosed Intel vulnerability ( https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/03/05/unfixable_intel_csm... ). Did FileVault ever use this Intel feature (even on non-T2 Macs)? It seems that there is some contention on Twitter whether FileVault is affected.
Plaid is handling the credentials, and they work with banks with their cooperation. This is FUD - it’s no different from accusing projects using Stripe of hoarding credit card numbers.
> The government should have some sort of insurance for this.

It’s called the power to collect taxes. And print money if it’s the federal government.
Objectively, the funeral is really about the survivors and not the deceased. It’s sometime dressed up in religion so thoroughly that it’s hard to see, but it’s still there. If your perspective is that your loved one is “still with us” more concretely when some other person gets the gift of life from your tragedy, then that may be of great comfort. If not, then it might be more anxiety in an already very difficult situation. Look what they did to my boy.

The relative frequency of “nobody went to his funeral” vs “I missed my mother’s funeral and I’m a terrible person” story arcs in movies and tv seems to follow this pattern. Human interest stories about parents who still visit the recipient who got their motorcycle-riding son’s heart pop up at least once a year (please don’t ride motorcycles, kids).
This is an ironic response to a situation which is literally about bringing justice.

If that’s your point of view, why pursue the shoplifter in the first place? Could’ve just used that line against Walmart and saved everyone a lot of hassle.
The amount insured by DICGC is only 5 lakh (500K) INR which is nothing.
> Not long afterward, Kenyon said, a lawyer in the state attorney’s office assigned to represent the Gainesville Police Department told him there were details in the motion that led them to believe that Kenyon’s client was not the burglar.

Here is the problem. Getting entangled he should have press harder and get them to answer precisely what they are referring to.
Things everyone considered terrible in the 90s, almost universally: disco, and by association much of the 70s; 80s fashion across the board. The music and movies and such of the 80s were still regarded as OK.
The 33 Strategies of War, Robert Greene. It's mostly non-obvious ways to handle conflict.

It's pretty easy to keep grinding more skill and effort. But it can be terrifying to deal with conflict, aggressive people, manipulative clients, competitors, and it can really discourage you along your career. Most people end up avoiding those things and running or hiding from problems. Trying to bring it up with management can often end up with you getting outmanoeuvred.

The book is great because it covers ways to disable threats. Most people are inept in conflict - they just dump more energy at it until they win or run out of energy. The book teaches techniques like counter-attacking, using your opponent's aggression against them, when to be more aggressive, when to be diplomatic, when to retreat, when to hesitate. How to drag an opponent into a long drawn conflict and kill them with attrition. Or how to intimidate them by making them feel trapped. The goal is to resolve and end conflicts quickly, maybe even turn an opponent to your side.

Like martial arts, it would be best to not have to use it. But I've had to several times, especially as an entrepreneur. It's also one of those things that give you enough confidence to handle certain obstacles, opening more doors and more choices that way.
Qalculate – The Ultimate Desktop Calculator
It's just a duplicate of Instagram stories, which itself was a duplicate of Snapchat. Why is the interface that way? Because that's how Snapchat did it.

The basic idea is that thebcontent that is ephemeral, which lowers mental barriers to adding content. Consumers have grown weary of how standard posts on Facebook or Twitter are available eyernally for stalkers, employers, and random people to see unless you delete it explicitly. "Stories" disappear after a day.

As noted there's no reason that they had to do this exactly the same way as Snapchat. It could have any kind of interface such as a typical photo album, but part of the plan was copying Snapchat because they were popular and wouldn't sell out to Facebook. It's been very successful for Instagram and I assume they just wanted to extend the format to Facebook members who do not use Instagram.

I’ve become extremely apathetic towards Agile. Whatever, this how a company needs to manage it, fine. I’m not wasting time wrapping my head around it. Tshirt size or point poker stuff or ‘As a developer, I would like to’ stories, like seriously, whatever. It’s not going anywhere and doesn’t always make sense, so I just suck it up and truck along.

Here are my stand up updates: I worked on the same shit as yesterday mostly, I’ll let whoever needs to know something know something. No roadblocks.
That's so inspiring. Our father of 71 just started to learn programming. He does not have any programming background, however, I love his motivation and enthusiasm at his age. Something that is to admire, it's never too late when you have the right attitude.

In general, there is probably no private property that the state cannot destroy and then replace with no problem. Money really is no problem at all here.

Also, yeah, being proportional in your response (and that includes putting property damage into your calculation about what’s proportional) is always useful.
This is why Android, and many other "helpful" tools incorrectly capitalize words after abbreviations.

In this sentence, the problem of one space after a period vs. two is shown at the start of the following one. Two spaces identifies when a new sentence starts as opposed to where the period character may be used mid sentence.

Go ahead, type that and watch as you have to undo capitalization on the word "two' because there isn't any ability to understand when one is mid sentence without there being two spaces to differentiate that from an otherwise mid sentence use of the period character.

Always two spaces.
This actually is a demonstration of an efficiently priced near zero risk asset.

Your Canadian bond was probably priced in Canadian dollars, which have a near zero risk of default (Canada can just print more dollars to pay it), so the pricing of these bonds should be such that it is largely inflation plus a vanishingly small premium for the black swan default.

$8 sounds about right.

> I get inspiration from my father. He is 98 and has taught himself 3D animation and video editing, and keeps himself very busy creating videos for the international right to die organization.

Very inspiring to hear that he has taught himself 3D animation and video editing, but if I have the grace to live until 98 or longer and with my mind in order – as my own grandmother – I am 100% sure that working for the 'right to die' wouldn't get me up in the morning. But if it was to live bountifully and blissfully – as my own grandmother – I would leap, as gracefully a 98-year-old would leap, out of bed!

They should both take that up with their insurers since this is exactly the type of thing insurance is for.

Kotlin is excellent. All the features of Java, but much more concise. It's close to pseudocode, maybe even better. So you spend your time just coding and what's on your mind instead of wrestling with design patterns.
I stopped reading after I saw "blockchain".
Yeah, I'm pretty personable. I've found that being more standoffish is necessary to get taken at all seriously, otherwise men just interpret everything as flirting, basically. Whether they want to be flirted with or not, it does absolutely nothing for me professionally.
I disagree. I think of it in terms of lives lived within a life. I'd break mine down into:

1) 0-5 Coming into self-awareness (this is like waking up while still drunk or coming down from recreational drugs, as your consciousness reassembles from wherever it was)

2) 6-11 The universe provides for you (mom and dad are god, your needs are mostly provided for and you should do what you're told)

3) 12-17 The face of humanity (you witness the very best and worst that humankind has to offer, through the trials and tribulations of junior high and high school)

4) 18-21 College (thanks I needed that)

5) 22-29 The narcissistic years (I am so miserable, why can't I say no?)

6) 30-39 The long now (how long have I been alive?)

7) 40-49 Death begins at 40 (how could I have just been born?)

8) 50-64 I should feel older (so I've heard)

9) 65+ Unknown (are you me?)

There are probably more. All I am saying is that when I hit 40, I realized that I was more than one time period removed from the young graduates just starting their careers around me. I wasn't really their brother anymore, I was their dad or weird uncle at the very least. No more getting invited to parties, no more fashion for me. Just loafers and nutritional supplements to keep me on life support until 2040 when I enter The Matrix or get reincarnated, whichever comes first.

For me it's more a case of, I was much older at 18 than I am now, so when young people don't want to hear it from their elders, that's a form of conservative or elderly behavior. It's sophomoric.
He chose between

- hiring this lawyer to fight the warrant, or

- the risk of being arrested and dealing with criminal charges

That's no choice at all.
No buddy this is called an analogy. Meaning some things are similar but other things are not. Through average human intuition and intelligence you can derive that I'm not comparing the physical nature of heroin to the abstract nature of crypto.

What I am comparing is the illegitimacy of heroin to the illegitimacy of the crypto issued by Brave. I am sorry that you were incapable of deducing this. But now with this simple explanation of the nature of an analogy you get it!

I kinda suspect that gender reassignment patients and their doctors were not at all surprised by this change.
Why not ban shoplifting too? Guns are already banned for use in a crime. If there is a gun ban, are criminals going to simply show up and turn in guns? We’ve banned heroin, but that hasn’t stopped it from being trafficked.
I know that it's a valid expression, but are there any use cases for it?

This is very insightful and makes a ton of sense.

I'm not related to the company, but this is exactly what avvo.com is solving. I have known others to use it for traffic infractions all the way to criminal defence. In general they speak positively about the experience.

I don't know any particular lawyer's connections, but I can see the reviews/self-reported-track records.

But, this creates a new problem - gamification of reviews. But now that it's in the "reviews" space, I know how to at least manage that problem as opposed to something I know zero about such as judging a lawyer's relationships and effectiveness.
Metal halide perovskite cells have shown very high efficiencies before, but there have always been a load of problems with them that have made them unsuitable for large scale production. They are very sensitive to discrepancies in deposition thickness on the substrate. This means you can spin coat very small cells in a lab, but applications on larger substrates always gives a massive decrease in efficiency. I see this paper talks about cells with an area of 1cm^2, so presumably this problem is still not overcome.

If you saved 150 dollars a month for 50 years and got 2% interest on your savings, at the end you'd have an extra 150k or so. That's nice, but not really wealthy. Especially because we're not taking into account fifty years of inflation.

If you want to be wealthy you need to figure out ways to earn gigantic amounts of money, not save small amounts by cutting out the pleasant parts of life. Wealthy people tend to either inherit or produce their wealth, not save it by a lifetime of penny pinching.
This is literally the exact opposite of my past experience as a trial lawyer.

The strength of the parties cases matters 10000x more than the amount of money they had. In fact, excessive spending was usually associated with worsened outcomes for the spending party.

> Objectively, America is a young culture

This statement simply makes no sense. Americans didn't show up on the shores of New England with their minds wiped clean. American culture stretches back and builds on all of the cultures of the people who came here (or were here already).

It's not any younger than any other places cultures. It may have changed faster because of greater environmental pressure — new physical environment, mixing disparate peoples together — but categorizing it as "adolescent" is simply tribalism. Putting the US down to make yourself feel better about your culture.

Finding a good lawyer is hard, but to your point about public defenders having more relevant experience, there’s a simple heuristic: ask the lawyers you interview what direct experience they have. If you have an aggravated assault charge, and your potential private lawyer has done many DUIs but only one of those, move on.

A public defender might not be _bad_, but in many jurisdictions they are egregiously overworked. Their case load is so over burdened they don’t have the time to do a thorough job. I’d much rather take my chances with a paid lawyer.
That's the beauty of a real crash. It doesn't matter much when you go short.

Because Italy economy is driven by tourism, which means that it cannot ban flight from china (or other places).

Hence the virus has a chance to migrate to different locations.

Also, tourists, tend to travel (a lot) within the country, which means that the virus rapidly migrates inside the country.

And, it also cannot mandate complete public shutdown, which gave the virus a chance to start a community spread.

Once a community spreads starts, this is effectively a denial of service attack on the health care system, and this is what happening now.
Imagine suing General Motors because of a faulty car. General Motors hires an army of experts and the best attorneys. In the event of loser pays, the apparent victim is now on the hook for perhaps a million dollars. That would shut down all legitimate product liability lawsuits in an instant.
