I think you are absolutely correct and the reason that the stock market is being so weird is quite simply "what else are we doing to do with that money?"

The solution for individuals: cash, gold, options, etc, aren't viable solutions for institutional investors.

Imagine that you're in charge of a $1 billion fund, what are you going to do? You can't put that into gold, cash or treasury notes. But all sectors are affected by this so you can't simply rebalance your portfolio. You can't go out and buy an obscene amount of call options because those would still way too risky at the institutional level.

For me this is why the stock market right now is deeply troubling. Not because "the elite's are out of touch", I know quite a few people in finance, people managing these billion dollar portfolios and they also have no clue what's going on. None of these people are delusional about what's going on, they just don't know what to do.

What's troubling is that this detachment from reality seems to be based on the fact that the entire financial system is effected and there's no way for it to react in a sane way anymore.

I don't claim to have any clue as to how this will play out, but when this reality bubble bursts it's going to be a very extreme event.

Yeah definitely. I imagine it’ll just have to auto-build whenever I gets upstream data updates. I’ll make sure to update the docs; it’s pretty simple atm, just invite a user (set them as a content editor or developer) and they can join your site. And if you want to give them build access you add them as a collaborator on the repo.

You're not missing anything, this service shouldn't be able to see it if it's through a VPN. If you're connected to your VPN when you check, then it might be able to see what is going through that server, which of course might not be you (if you're using a commercial/shared VPN server).
Smart thing to do is to use this as a content recommendation service! Or netflix can improve their catalog by knowing what content people are going off-service for.... Nevermind enforcement, this is a huge data source for marketing purposes... Wait a minute :(
I worry about something like this happening with housing. PE firms are sitting on a bunch of cash currently and I can imagine a scenario in which the recent damage coronavirus + lockdowns have done to the economy leads to a bunch of foreclosures. If PE firms step in to buy these homes and to manage them at scale that will just lead to further concentration of housing wealth.

A combination of FOMO and the never-ending flow of passive money into the market, which is 45%+ [1] and probably growing. Passive investors do not analyze their investments, they blindly buy market indices like the S&P 500.

With all of the stimulus into the economy, that flow of passive investment money is probably not too impaired, yet.

You can't be unattractive and then hit the gym for a few months and put on a collared shirt and be hot. Better looking than before sure, but not beautiful. It is a nice myth for people to comfort themselves with I guess. It is also viewed as unattractive to 'try really hard' when it comes to physical appearance so you can have the reverse affect if your efforts to make yourself attractive are too blatant.
>There’s a lot of vitriol aimed at rich people right now, regardless of how they attained their wealth. I imagine it’ll soon be transferred to talented people as well.

As a rule, few wealthy people extract 100% of their wealth and few earn 100%.

The wealthy that extract 98% sure try to downplay that part and try to pretend that they're among the miniscule number who earned 90+%.

Most manage to self delude themselves that vitriol against the wealthy IS vitriol against talent. Their egos demand it.

> Ok if we're using "universal healthcare" as a minimum definition of "left wing" (for what it's worth I wouldn't accept that, since even Bismarck's right wing authoritarian Prussia has a universal system)

I think universal healthcare is a suitable minimum definition of left wing despite that, since a minimum definition is “without this element, a thing cannot be left wing” not “with this element, a thing must be left wing”.

> Universal healthcare is off the table by both parties in the coming federal election.

No, it's not, whether you are referring to the Presidential or Congressional elections, both of which are federal elections in and, unlike in most parliamentary systems, are separate-though-concurrent elections where the candidate platforms even from the same party have no necessary alignment.

> Biden is against it,

No, he's not.

> so is he left wing?

No, he's a center-right neoliberal, just like the rest of the dominant faction of the Democratic Party, and up through at least the early 90s the dominant faction of the Republican Party, too.

A sizable minority of the Democratic Party, though, is (mostly center-)left, though, and they are a not-insignificant factor in Democratic policy stances currently (US major political parties are effectively multifaction coalitions, and just like any coalition the policy preferences of the dominant faction aren't always those of the coalition.)

> (No, sorry, the "public option" tack onto Obamacare doesn't count)

While I don't particularly like it, being part of the more-left-than-Biden part of the Democratic Party, the public option proposed by Biden as recently fleshed out by the Biden-Sanders joint policy group is, in fact, a proposal for universal coverage, not to dissimilar from some other OECD countries, all of which have universal healthcare but far from all of which have public single-payer like Canada's Medicare or public provision like the UK NHS.
Honest questions:

- how much work do you estimate need to be put for those (a) writing the book and (b) to turning a weak offering into a strong one?

- what is the shelf life of a software programming book?

- Do you make more money by writing the book or by providing consulting for those that want to create content?

A good friend of mine, who actually dropped out of Academia after 10+ years teaching, always likes to remind me that 'Science' is just a tool.

You're thinking about your personal investments, not someone managing a large investment firm or hedge fund. This simple fixes for your personal investments would be seen as absolutely insane in the professional investment world. You can't just tell your clients "oh I put $100 Billion into some nearly 0% interest investments because I think the market is crazy", especially if the DJIA is having record months. Even the people managing your 401k are expected have a steady read of return and react slowly and calmly.

I wonder on what grounds they arrested a minor for private speech (sounded like a DM), which is more protected than public speech?

I think a big part of it is being stubborn about rejecting things that aren't good enough. Steve Jobs and Elon Musk both also have a reputation of perfectionism, and lots of stories of telling their employees to start over because they didn't hit the minimum requirements (or in Musk's case, just firing people outright over seemingly small things).

Especially when one of your employees is pushing you hard for a feature they want or something they spent a lot of time working on, it can be difficult to reject their proposals over and over but by experience I've seen that this can lead to a lot of technical debt or significant compromises on the product.

Over time I'm becoming increasingly in favor of being really stubborn about certain technical choices and product choices, even where it can hurt employee morale.
Depending on the level of maturity of the nightly features you rely on, for CI there is an env variable that makes the stable compiler think it is nightly. We use this flag at day job to use latest stable but be able to enable a handful of quasi stable nightly features (custom testing frameworks mainly and getting rocket to play nice). This is a double edged sword: it is the same as a pinned nightly in the sense that it is a static target, but differs in that bugs affecting stable and beta have been backported where any arbitrary nightly has no assurances one way or another, but bugs affecting nightly features aren't backported to the stable release and only fixed on nightly.

Also, for the love all that is holy do not publish a crate relying on that flag to enable the nightly features, it breaks the languages stability assurances and by extension the ecosystem.
Google is becoming an AI engine. You type in "How to clean a wound?" and it tells you how. You type in "How to price an option contract?", and it tells you. Forget about GPT-3, Google is the real deal. If they're able to continue executing on this vision, the sky's the limit.
Even with dynamic IPs (Not NAT in this case) it's not a problem as ISPs in most countries have to keep a record who used the IP at which point in time.

Conviction rates don't exist in a vacuum though. If you have a 100% conviction rating but have only prosecuted one case, no one is going to care. The real key is to bring extreme charges against large numbers of people and then offer them palatable plea deals. You get a large number of convictions with little effort and the few people who risk going to court aren't going to hurt your conviction rate much even if they win.
> Strong promotion: ... collecting emails - launching to an email list of 10k-100k+

One thing I've often wondered about this: who are all these people posting their email addresses everywhere?

Even if I'm reading a blog post I'm so interested in that I'd like to read more later, I would never dream of putting my address in one of those "sign up for more" popups. I know many will comment that it's offensive that they popup over the page, but for me that's not even the main reason - email is just not the right place for that sort of thing, I already get enough cruft in my email account without adding blog post notifications too. I know not everyone is exactly like me but surely that is the rule rather than the exception?
Alternately, a seedbox or seebox-like service like Put.io.

My ISP actually prohibits P2P transfers, so whatever you're downloading, if you want to use torrents, it's the only way to go without getting nasty emails.

I don't agree with most of those, but you can't argue with the last one.
I don't care how you made your money, hoarding it should be looked down on. Greed is bad, we don't need to make things illegal, but I sure as hell am going to think anyone with a privately owned Yacht is a little bit worse of a person than someone reinvesting their money in their community and trying to explore new ideas, or if you are tired and don't want to personally invent stuff or run another business, go find some enthusiastic entrepreneur to support. I am not against rich people having power, I think we should get them to pay their damn taxes and fair share, but beyond part of their money that ought to be allocated by a democratically elected government they can do what they want with their wealth to control the world. But anyone using their money to just show how wealthy they are is going to get serious judgement from me, and I think that is a healthy way to think about rich people.

I think it should be likely obvious from my statement above, I want there to be talented people, and I really don't see a substantial movement to pull down successful people.

What are examples of things people are doing that make you think we are going in this direction?

Greenhorn about private equity/microeconomics here, do PE firms ever have a noble goal in mind of creating a stronger company or do most of them just roll-up and mark-up companies to the next highest bidder, regardless of the health of the company or whether it is even worth that much?

Hard for who? This is Epidemiology 101 stuff. You don't have to totally eliminate a virus to go back to normal. If the few infected individuals are quickly identified and isolated, along with contacts, outbreaks can be contained quite well. Test, trace, and isolate. We've been managing many other diseases this way for years. There's little mystery to it.
LOL, good lord, no. I published a book about SSL around 10 years ago or so (one of only, I believe, five or six such books). I found myself unexpectedly back on the job market around 2017 and I applied for job listings specifically related to SSL. Never heard back from a single one of them. The only time the book came up was when I interviewed for the (completely non-SSL, non-security-focused) job I have now when one of the interviewers said, "You published a book about SSL? But you can do other stuff, right?"

Your claim is that CDC / WHO lied about the efficacy of masks.

CDC / WHO claim that they didn't have good quality evidence that they could use to recommend mask wearing.

It should be really simple for you to prove your point: post a link to any meta-analsis or RCT of mask wearing that shows a benefit. This would be the evidence that WHO or CDC should have used to make the recommendation but chose to sit on. Before anyone says these studies don't exist: they do, there are lots of studies of mask wearing.

I have dyslexia and find this simulation pretty accurate. Obviously it's just a simulation though. When I read, letters aren't literally jittering around the page, but I do have to do a lot of "double-takes": looking back at words and thinking hard to decode them.

As a kid, reading aloud in class was always nerve wracking because of this. The game was to do these double-takes so quickly that nobody could tell you were doing all of this extra work. Often you read ahead of what you're saying so that you can double-take before saying the word.
