> [...] the graph below plots US stock market returns against real GDP growth in the United States, using quarterly data [from 1960 to 2020] Note that there is almost no correlation between stock returns and real GDP growth contemporaneously, and while the correlation grows as you look at GDP is subsequent quarters, it is still modest even four quarters ahead. If the relationship between stock returns and measures of economic activity is weak, as both logic and the data suggest, it should be even weaker right now, where every measure of economic activity is ravaged by the crisis-driven shutdown. To those in the media and the investment community who profess to be shocked by the latest economic numbers, my question is whether you are just as shocked to see your speedometer at zero, when your car is parked in the driveway, or when your pie does not bake in an oven that is not turned on? In short, there is almost nothing of use to investors from poring over current macroeconomic data, which is one reason why markets have started ignoring them. That will change, as the economy opens up again, and markets start looking at the data for cues on how quickly it is coming back to life.

> My estimated value for the [S&P 500] index is about 2926, which would lead to a judgment that the index was over valued by about 6% (based upon the level on June 1, 2020). As with my March 2020 valuation, I am fully aware that my numbers are just a reflection of my story and that each of the inputs has a range around it, and I have brought in that uncertainty into a simulation below [...] Note that I have centered the simulations around the median estimates of earnings for 2020 and 2021 from analysts, while building in the range in the estimates into the distributions. The median value from the simulation is 2932. On June 1, the S&P 500 was trading at close to 3100, putting it near the 80th percentile of the distribution, bolstering the "market has gotten ahead of itself" camp, but there is something here for everyone. If you are more optimistic about earnings in 2020 and 2021 than the the median analyst, and about how quickly and completely the market will recover from the crisis shock, you will arrive at a higher value than mine. If you are more pessimistic about the future, perhaps because you think the market is under estimating the likelihood of a second wave of shutdowns or a surge in company defaults, your valuations will be much lower.

I paid an Italian guy experienced in the fashion industry. He organized all of the bikinis for one upfront purchase price, which also included service fees for him.

But that was a pity later on when I ran out of bikinis and didn't manage to hire him again.
who even use brave on desktop? author completely misses point with alternatives

for Android he recommends only Firefox which is either slow or buggy, but nowhere close to stability and speed of chromium browsers

if you want chromium browser for Android with ublock your only options are Kiwi browser with outdated chromium, shady Russian yandex browser, ungoogled chromium pretty much in alpha or brave which promises extensions by the end of June
Yeah, I hated the ergodox-ez. The flat nature made for lots of awkward stretches, both in the thumb cluster and the middle columns accessible by the index finger. I switched to a kinesis advantage immediately after and have loved it to death since.

Concave, ortholinear keywells are the killer app in my experience, so the OP keyboard seems really interesting.
It's worse than Google in terms of telemetry and spying.
Ask HN: How to get 9-12 years old interested into Science domains through books?
I got many kids in the age group of 9-12. The schools teach crap these days and the kids don't seem to develop any thinking prowess or curiosity.
I want to introduce kids to various fields, and to name a few: BioTech, Geology, Astrophysics, Computer Science/programming, analytical thinking, etc.

I cannot spend an hour or two everyday with these kids as they are not in the same place as I am, but occasionally I can talk to them on phone. Are there any books that I can give to the kids and ask them to read those and maybe they will develop interest in one or the other field?

Amen. Also consider angling it as appropriate. In my experience the difference is pretty noticeable. Ergogox-ez has tent kits which are great. I picked up a couple of 3D printer angled risers that I use with my classic ergodox.
ungoogled chromium now supports extensions too but it's very alpha functionality

brave promises extensions by the end of June, they already shown working prototype in Twitter

so next to outdated kiwi, shady yandex and experimental ungoogled i have my biggest hopes for brave as current kiwi user who needs ublock

The only one handed keyboard I know of is the one made by matias.
Seconding split keyboards. I'm in the process of building a Quefrency and it's fun. But to have something working right now, I bought the Kinesis Freestyle2, which is available for macOS and Windows, with a Bluetooth version to boot.e

> When have you most successfully hacked a non-computer system to your advantage?
>There are many better alternatives out there.

Its just like buying an office chair or a pair of shoes. Its not that there are better alternatives, is more like everyone should find a keyboard that's comfortable and optimal for them as an individual. The Ergodox-EZ is a great keyboard, just not a great one for you.

BTW do you have really small hands? Based on the size of it and my experience I would assume that most people could comfortable hit the two larger keys on the thumb cluster, they are right next to each other.
Spectrum scarcity is also a function of our wasteful utilization.

What you describe (small cells) is one version of what we call spatial multiplexing. Basically, reuse spectrum in physically separate areas. But you can also do this in a way that doesn't sacrifice the centralized, large cell architecture.

Namely via beamforming. You don't have to share spectrum if you're not dumping power in all directions. Already cell towers are split into three sectors; you could continue to increase sectors, or dynamically point beams at individual users. Being suitably isolated from one another, each beam allows spectrum reuse.

It's not free obviously, it requires more expensive base station antennas, but I think a direction we'll be heading in.
It's not clear what does not work for you.

Firefox has robust tab dragging. You can drag tabs all around. You can select multiple tabs and drag all of those.
their browser doesn't affect functionality of ublock, but it's not good browser anyway, trying to show down your throat many intrusive features by default
I don't like rails either but I like ruby syntax. You're sure you don't like ruby and not rails?

You got downvoted for not liking something "just because". (I didn't downvote.)
That seems fairly irrational.

In my experience current FF handles many tabs much better than Chrome.
One of my ancestors worked for Southern Pacific (not a software, but a choo-choo, engineer). His family was able to live in affordable nowhere[1] because taking the train was going to work.

Before becoming a telecom provider, SPRINT was "Southern Pacific Railroad INTernal" and allowed railroaders to chat long distance with cow-orkers without dealing with Ma Bell.

[1] Fun fact: Coalinga was originally "Coaling [station] A", retconned to sound more spanish. The spaniards themselves usually just named places after whichever saint's day it was when they first passed through. (Thomas Guides used to show rancho property lines in southern california; many of their borders go back to the original 18th century land grants)
Profanity gets its power from us. We are taught from childhood that there are words that are so strong that they can never be said. Every time we hear them they bring up the mental thunder they are supposed to evoke. The interesting thing is that the less they are used the more powerful they get. So the antidote is to use them as much as possible so that they lose their power. The problem is that the people that use them become social outcasts to those that feel insulted by profanity. It's a bit of a catch 22.

The word bitch has begun to lose its power but other words are beginning to gain power by being used less and being labeled as tabooed.
So I posted this comment because I wanted to spark a discussion where intelligent people consider the safety implications of 5G, which is very hard to find on the internet. Unfortunately that hasn't happened so far, so I decided to dig a bit more on my own.

Step 1 so far has been Wikipedia, where I found the reassuring sentence "The scientific consensus is that 5G technology is safe.[99][100][101]" Unfortunately, after checking those sources it appears that one is a blog and the other two are news articles about the same event - a press release from the ICNIRP. Further research on the ICNIRP shows that it is a private organization that declared itself that it only considered the thermal dangers of RF in the cm-wave range, and any other dangers do not exist.

And that is the common path to "proving" 5G safety on the internet: "the only way that this could be bad is heating; there's no heating; bam, it's safe, we're done here."

The reality, of course, is that EM waves have many mechanisms of action. So far, we know of the following:

- Ionizing radiation (nuclear weapons, x-rays, etc) can easily kill you or give you cancer

- Non-UV visible light can increase skin aging, cause retinal injuries

- Tons of EM waves can burn you or increase body temperature causing other problems (tissue heating)

- Nerve disturbance from low-frequency RF

That's four methods of ways EM waves can hurt you. Everyone is in agreement about that - no matter how you slice it, there's a minimum of those four. But that's a minimum. Relatively few good quality longitudinal studies have been run about EM waves. "Hey, can we put this weird thing in your home and see if it gives you cancer?" is a hard sell, I guess.

But unfortunately there seems to be not one single high-quality, longitudinal study researching the effects of living with constant mm-wave sources. There are a few short-term studies, but most of these are on the order of hours (!) of exposure.

One interesting thing I did find was a Swiss study showing people living near high voltage power lines were more than two times more likely to get Alzheimer's than people living just 600m away. While that's a completely different type of EM than 5G, it does hint that there may be more harmful mechanisms of EM radiation than we currently know.
I've followed a number of channels that burned bright and then died. Meaning that existing creators don't have any kind of lock on the market.

There's always room for new stuff, if for the simple reason that people are always hungry for something new.
This is a fantastic and well-written guide, thank you!

I recently wrote a toy caching DNS proxy in Elixir, and I have a question which I’ve never been able to figure out. Individual DNS records for the same hostname can have different TTLs configured. For example, 30s for one record and 300s for another. As a caching resolver, what is the expected behaviour when the record with the shorter TTL has expired but the other has not? I chose to invalidate the entire thing and make a new query upstream, but I’ve always wondered what the “proper” behaviour should be.
because one version of Firefox on Android is extremely slow and the other one faster is extremely buggy? for the record I use Firefox on desktop, but all their versions on Android are unusable, so I use Kiwi browser waiting for some updated browser with extensions, ungoogled chromium doesn't really work and yandex is shady

pretty much nobody use brave on desktop

Good catch - I had a feeling it might be.

Still, WW always amazed me for a GC/PS2 era game.
I have two guesses:

1. Extensions - almost anyone have some kind of extension installed, and Chrome absolutely wins in that category. that prevents people from switching over to Firefox. Personally I know people that switched to Firefox only after I showed them the extensions they us or an alternative exists on Firefox.

2. Advertisement - Google have a lot more advertising resources than Mozilla. For example, every new Android phone with Google Play Services ships with Google products already installed including Chrome (sometimes as the only browser).
It's not unfounded to think that most people will use the same browser they're using in their smartphone.
Some people have claimed its pretty good. The company claims you can learn to type 80 WPM with one hand. They are super expensive because they were designed specifically for people that have only 1 hand, but there are some people interested in just using a single hand to type so they can work more efficiently with a mouse.

However, that might not be a great idea. Some two-handed keyboard reviewers have tried it out and at least one of them thinks its an absolutely horrifying device that he can't imagine anyone learning to type well on. He seemed to think it developed a reputation as being a good one handed computer simply because there aren't any other options.
This reminds me of an old algebra textbook I have from the beginning of the 20th century, which had a series of similar problems relating to the angle of clock hands.

I also found the nicely typeset explanation rather pleasing to look at --- it reminds me of old maths books as well --- but the explicit multiplication symbols are a bit odd, as is the lack of simplification; here's how I was taught to show the work:

H(h, m) = 360 - M(h, m)
30h + m/2 = 360 - 6m
6m + m/2 = 360 - 30h
13m/2 = 30(12 - h)
m = 60(12 - h)/13

If I modify my program to show the location of the second hand you can see that perfect symmetry between hour and minute hands gets messed up by its presence.

...which then leads to the next question, "at what times are the hands equidistant from each other?" (That's a bit of a trick question.)
Yea this is way more interesting than... electric batteries.
riddled with bugs, used it for few months until I finally gave up when they introduced new build where I could not even type address in address bar, they are really doing zero testing, during those months I experienced pretty much every week new bug I could noticed and I saw literally ONE of these bugs fixed in those few months

I prefer fast stable bugfree chromium
> And I hate the ads and recommended sites on the "new tab" page.

I don't understand that one, my new tab page is blank on FF, it's nothing more than a setting.

Under Options > Home, select "Blank Page" for "New tabs" and for "Homepage and new windows"

That should do it. You can also optionally uncheck content in the "Firefox Home Content" section.
This is an amazing keyboard, and the best thing: it's really easy to modify to suit your needs. I got to try a friend's Dactyl so I had a general idea of what doesn't feel ergonomic to me about it. Then I took some measurements of my fingers, moved the columns around accordingly, somewhat flattened the whole structure and printed it. And got the most ergonomic keyboard I could imagine. (Gee, I really should solder the other side one so I could use it... :s)

Of course this is a lot of work and not for most people. But the point is that 3D modeling anything from scratch is near impossible for a first timer, yet the dactyl family is easy to modify for anyone who can code.
The greatest sin in building or maintaining anything is fixing something that ain't broken.
On Apple devices it’s as easy as toggling a switch to temporarily disable it. Not perfect but easy enough. Still trying to figure out a similar solution on Linux...
Your point is correct. Thanks for saying it at least.
There was only a very short time with hardware issues on USB. What really plagued it in the beginning was that Play and Play (the big selling point for USB 1.0) was really mostly Plug and Pray.

Anecdotal. Demand on particular goods and services has shifted, but is overall net down. And whenever there is a threat of recession, large corporations scale back investment, jobs, purchases, and manufacturing.
Outputs of the Drake Equation are looking better and better, but I'm starting to worry that detecting intelligent life is going to be much harder that we previously thought. Even if a million radio-capable civilizations arose within the Milky Way, what are the chances of two such civilizations within a distance of say 100 light years having that capability at the same time?

Even then, the chances of contact seem slim. The other day, I was doing some back-of-the-envelope calculations to see what's needed for a near-Earth colony (say at about 5 light years) to send data back to Earth. Even with the tightest possible beam, even after pumping a massive amount of power into the transmitter, even after using square-kilometers worth of receivers, very little signal seemed to get through.

I'm starting to feel like there might be a lot of needles out there in a cosmic haystack that we'll never be able to sort out in our civilization's lifetime...
This doesn't make a lot of sense.. There is no "Huawei 5G spectrum". Huawei equipment has to operate in whatever spectrum regulations exist for the country buying the equipment. Countries (including parts of the US) buy Huawei gear because it's cheap, not because there's any special spectrum benefits.
This should be the default setting, however. Unless I opt-in to see the recommended sites, I don't want to see them.

On the other hand, Chrome on mobile does this too and there's no setting at all to turn it off.
That's hardly fighting Chrome's dominance. The people who Google hired to write Chrome came from Mozilla. Also Mozilla pays its own developers with money that comes from a deal with Google. The online advertising industry, Google's customer base, is supporting and indirectly controlling both of these browsers. Those "evil" things that Googles does are done to offer services to that customer base. Whatever "fight" you might imagine between browsers is, with respect to end users, illusory. Neither browser can pull the plug on the online ad business, they both depend on it. That is the source of the "evil".

Some google products have a worse experience with FF. Some websites straight up tell you to use chrome instead.

Not saying it's right, just saying there's certainly a tradeoff.

Firefox has made claims before about changes that specifically affect firefox performance: https://www.techradar.com/sg/news/mozilla-claims-google-has-...
It's disturbing to see such praise for censorship, unless that comment was really crossing the line. (I didn't see it.) Proof that HN is as much of an echo-chamber as all the others, despite somewhat discussion that it isn't.

(...and meanwhile I get downvoted for making an observation.)
I was really hoping this was sarcasm, but sadly I've seen this happen far too many times already.

There is some impunity going on where the people making these kind of decisions in some companies when things fall down they just blame it on something else and switch jobs, and now you're stuck with mongodb or a django where somebody thought using sqlalchemy instead of the ORM was a good idea or a monorepo with all company's frontend code and its 14Gb of source code for scripts to make the tooling work in such monstrosity.

That's a disingenuous way to interpret that data. Just 23% market share is pretty far from being an industry standard.
I agree. They also have bad defaults (on a fresh install) under the "Firefox Data Collection and Use" section. All of that should be unchecked by default, users should have to opt-in - perhaps with a confirmation - to all data collection.
They will surely still send all the data whether you are signed in or not. Maybe it won't be linked to a particular account, but it's a fair bet that it will still be linked to _you_. It's well-publicized that Facebook has shadow accounts for people who are not logged in to their service, and it's reasonable to assume that other large companies do this too.
Thank you for this link! Not being able to easily install extensions into ungoogled-chromium was the main reason I've not switched to it as my main browser.
Not necessarily. Nvidia doesn't have hardware support, rather the guest driver communicates changes to the page tables to the host driver in such a way that the host can establish shadow page tables that merge the guest and host translations.
Glad to help :)

I got started with my endeavors from people explaining things to me on programming IRC channels, so despite its bad reputation, advice from random strangers on the internet can be good advice.

As for this particular project, I stopped it when I ran out of bikinis and couldn't buy more at the same conditions anymore. At the same time, competition from China was also arriving in the form of dropshipping. I could have switched suppliers to reduce my purchase costs and remain competitive, but selling a high volume of cheap products is a lot more work than selling a low volume of high priced items.
But what about the five or six years or so before Uber Eats?
I'm constantly invoking this principle, but I have a small tweak: combine it with the (now anachronistically named) Python Paradox to get "use a tool from your toolbox".

Restricting the number of different technologies in your toolbox gets you most of the benefits described in TFA. But contrary to "boring", it's actually preferable for some of those tools to be bleeding edge. That way you also get to enjoy the benefits of the Python Paradox.

Of course, you need to have good enough taste to pick new techs, and sometimes the bleeding edge will cut you. But because you amortize that cut over the whole org it doesn't hurt much.
