Without knowing more about you - age, health, goals, risk tolerance, other obligations, etc - it's all just random suggestions from the internet.

My random suggestion here is diversify in to a few different equities areas. US, international, etc. I mostly have a few 'general market' funds, but a couple that are focused on tech companies, and they've outpaced the general market over the last several years.

Keep some in cash - ally and others have around 1% return on cash. not great, but it's something. keep maybe $80k or so in there.

put some in general 'broad market' index funds - total market or S&P or something - maybe $150k in that.

find some international funds - put $80k in that.

pick a precious metals fund - put $40k in that. Alternative, take some of that and put in to crypto if you've got an interest in that.

This would leave you with around $150k. Consider some more real estate - perhaps just land and let it appreciate, or a small house you can use as a rental, or more industrial. Or just hold that in cash for a bit longer while you wait and see what happens. You already have $200k in industrial real estate. If you're comfortable with that, and you're getting a return that from area, increase your exposure there.

Watch the investments - readjust portions to your comfort level - perhaps every 3-6 months - as things change. Keeping cash will give you some cushion if there's a downturn, either to weather a storm, or give you some ability to throw a bit more in to a specific market.

There's no rule that says you have to put it all in one index fund right now. You're in a fortunate position, and can afford to take this slowly, and spend time learning more about these various instruments before blindly throwing in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Part of that learning can (and probably should) be meeting with a fee-only advisor who can review your situation in more detail and give you a more comprehensive set of recommendations more suited to those aspects we can't tell from your post (risk tolerance, life goals, etc).

Do you have more info on this ? There is a big difference between not supporting open source, and actively sabotaging it. What are they doing, exactly ?
“Shedding snake” reminds me of a game I made on my Casio CFX-9850GB+ Color in high school. It started out as snake, but keeping track of the positions of the snake’s pixels in an array or matrix, even if treating it as a ring buffer so you weren’t constantly shuffling all the values in it, was really slow, so that by the time the snake was even six pixels long there was not the slightest bit of challenge to it because it was moving less than two pixels per second (and by ten, below one). So I turned it into what I called Snail Trail, with it just laying down pixels behind it and never keeping track of them, because you could query “is this pixel filled?” much more rapidly (and it was O(1) rather than O(n²) or worse). That was much faster, and I rapidly worked out the optimal strategy. A year or two later I transferred it to someone’s newer model of calculator which was generally about six times as fast, and… yeah, I had to insert busy loops to make it playable!

I had good times with that calculator. 32KB taught me frugality not unlike that needed for competitions like JS1024, and how to find that there was a character/instruction akin to a semicolon in Python that took one byte, where the new line character/instruction took two bytes. (I only obtained a manual for the calculator after having it for two years. Figured out one or two new tricks after that, but I’d worked almost everything possible out by trial and error.) So power efficient, too: I changed the four AAA batteries only twice in more than three years of very heavy usage (looking back on it, I probably got more than 200h of life from each set), while all the rest of the class that had the newer, faster version (except one other who had the same model as me) would need to change them around once a term, and they didn’t use their calculators even a quarter as much as me. I’m going to guess figures of a CPU 6× as fast and power consumption 30× as high. And those newer ones were even only monochrome rather than three-colour LCD.

Then after I left they shifted to CAS calculators and battery life was a zillion times worse again. And laptops, phones and such will be even worse still. Ah well.
It seems that such close attention to detail and blind trust to third-party scores will decrease chances of filling the positions and get the needed job done, which is supposedly the main business objective. This again will reduce the hiring succes to the good old chance or buddy-referred chance.
>Whether cryptos are a fad or not is based on believe. If we believe cryptos are worthless their value will drop. Same for real currencies

The value of individual currencies is based on trust in the institutions backing those currencies. The value of cryptocurrency as a technology (and currency in general), is not based on belief but on their real world utility, i.e do they function in some general way to satisfy some real need. (Exchanging value, storing value, and so on).

If crypto-currency can solve all the issues it has concerning speed, stability and so on it might be there to stay, if it can't it's just going to exist on the fringes.
Glad to hear the team is making progress. Slightly OT, might anyone here know what is up with the super-slow release of 2.10.20 installer for OS X? It's been several weeks since the latest release, and there's only the 2.10.14 installer available. I've done some poking around in the bug-tracker, but wasn't able to find an Issue for whatever might be holding up the OS X installer.

Couldn't you argue that's not over, but under-regulation? The problem is, as you said, "make your chargemaster price so high." Such things are not allowed in many countries with national insurance options. Why not? Simple: because governments are paying, and governments can negotiate the prices or simply enact laws or regulatory bodies that determine the fair price of procedures, and especially, drugs.
I remember a party that was very interested in facial measurements. They used it to discriminate too. Why should corporations suddenly get away with this now?

That's the wrong comparison.

The right comparison is to what would have been lost in corrections but for the preparations.

I mean, if you have x losses in preparation to achieve y losses in actual corrections, when you would otherwise have z losses in corrections for z > x+y, that's a win.
Thanks for that - I didn’t know it exists!
I was rear-ended in stop-and-go traffic. The same person was behind me for miles. He was looking at his phone and ran into me - totally and completely not my fault. He refused to give me his insurance info. I made a claim against my own insurance. I'm pretty sure the insurance company went after him and recovered costs. How exactly should that influence my rates? This is exactly why I pay for insurance, service I already pay for that is already factored into the costs. I pay extra for the zip code I live in already.

I have no driving record and I've caused no accidents. If I put a tracking device in my car today my rates would go up because I accelerate quickly and brake hard when conditions allow. That is not right.
What does that look like?

Yes. Ditch being connected when you don't need to be and think several times before you connect...is it worth it.
That's what I have done for a very long time. Almost no data about me exists. I am also very heavy handed with permissions and apps on device. I don't even allow google to install the google app on my device.
> Instagrams doesn't have a traditional share button to drive virality like other major social networks.

And that's a big reason why it's the only social networking app I still have on my phone. Please never change, Instagram!
From a science and pharmaceutical perspective, maybe.

As the partner of someone in the US dealing with stage 4 cancer in their 40s, who has two hospitals fighting with each other over whether to keep using a chemo drug that's sent them into anaphylactic shock twice in two rounds of chemo because it's _more convenient_ for the infusion clinic to administer, and all of that currently held up by pre-approval from a relative-to-the-rest-of-US good insurance company that's still already allowed $40,000 of in-network medical bills to hit us in just 5 weeks since diagnosis all after hitting the supposed out-of-pocket max?

From a cancer that had been misdiagnosed as an infection, an iron deficiency, and a benign tumor for four months prior, to give it a massive head start?

That headline can fuck right and completely off. We might be good at finding new drugs that can fight cancer, but societally we're absolutely shit at fighting this disease.
> voting in outsiders regardless of their actual qualifications, who double down on the problems instead of fixing them

While the spirit of what you’re saying is right, the media and the Democratic National Committee portray Bernie Sanders as an outsider, even though he’s been in politics for decades. The difficulty for lobbyists to influence him is well publicized and considered mostly true. His proposal to fix this specific problem - Medicare for all as opposed to free market healthcare pricing - is certainly consistent, cogent, and likely to work, even if you disagree it is the best one.

It goes to show that the original comment you are reacting to many not be as partisan as it appears. It may simply be reactionary.
Hi I am actually on the same journey as yourself though I am engineer from a different domain. This has been stated so many times here on HN but I will repeat myself again. Please ensure that you are solving a problem that exists. It could be a problem that you face in your own domain or a persistent friend that a friend has. Recently I phoned around 50 coffee shops that run on Shopify to see if they have a problem that needs solving. Talk to your customers and know them inside out. Know where they hang out and devise a plan to reach them.once you know your customers and where to find your first 10 you can then apply the frameworks presented by lefstathiou and others to go about building something either solo or with a co-founder.

I was excited by Bitcoin when the whitepaper came out and I just think it's neat.

The huge explosion in Bitcoin popularity with daytrader "lambo" jerks led to a ton of people (even technically inclined people) talking about Bitcoin without understanding it too well. So now it sort of sets me off.

Plus, it's way easier (and more fun) to fight about something frivolous like Bitcoin than it is to fight about things that are actually important.
As a healthy homeless former professional working as a grocery bagger now, I can feel management watching me for signs of drug abuse to explain my ratty clothes and spotty hygeine. Nobody can guess why I’m not working a good job but seem very smart and thorough (slander from boss destroyed reputation). I’m glad to have a job and sorry to show up looking trashy, but it’s the best I can do right now. I am just thankful that they don’t have any data or scores for me yet to help them see a drug addict or boozer, because I know that I’d raise a lot of flags there and it’d be enough to color the suspicion. Metrics are scary, I know my current scores will make things harder for years to come, starting with credit having bombed right down to these corporate/insurer metrics whose systems I was in as a $200K/yr professional. Lots of explaining the data to do if I make it back to pro life.

China shouldn't expect a free pass while it continues to abuse global trading.
If it’s going to die anyway then what’s wrong in trying to modernise it and seeing if that does renew interest? Worst case scenario is people don’t migrate and that outcome is no different to if you hadn’t tried. So it feels like the only bad move is not to try at all.
I thought it was the Tiktok for the rest of the world other than Douyin (Tiktok China), but I'm not sure.

If it is true that there would be a US-only version, then it sounds little bit ironic - if this kind of thing keeps happening the US would be somehow walled itself just like China...
I tend to prefer free market censorship, done by a private entity as an exercise of their right, than unilateral censorship from any government entity.

The latter conveniently unconstitutional.

You're right to apply critical thinking and not trust the general sentiment against HSBC. That brings a healthy perspective.

I searched for "HSBC prosecution" and found the following article from December 2019.

https://www.crainsnewyork.com/markets/third-times-charm-hsbc...

The words of Brandon Garrett, a professor at the Duke University of Law, concludes:

> They are recidivists, but they do not receive harsher penalties despite their growing criminal records. Individual criminal defendants are not so lucky.

The article seems to provide factual support to the sentiment, that HSBC has a record of criminal behavior, in legal terms.
It's a possibility, but I would guess no. The complaints from US sources have largely been about the user data from passively running the app, so I wouldn't expect regulatory obstacles to letting the videos themselves go across borders while keeping user data within the US company. (There could be technical challenges, but TikTok presumably already had to address them for GDPR compliance in Europe.)
Ironically, this future might be what CCP wished. Their practice won't be regarded as "archaic" anymore and U.S ultimate grip in tech might start to wane, however small will be.

A few days ago Pompeo warned that CCP might change "us" (outside PRC in this context). It seems, however, that U.S. might be the first to be changed.
I've decided to play it simple albeit "old school" (because Docker seemed to add its own set of headaches - also not every project needs to do micro services or work with clusters or scale):

- Vagrant (so you don't have to worry about runtime executables) with the stack matching that of the production server (you can even ask ops to provide you with the provisioning script and remove the parts that you don't need - otherwise learning to provision your dev. VMs won't hurt you)

- Virtualenv

- pip

Then simply point your IDE (I only use Vim under duress) to the remote Python interpreter (the one you installed in the Vagrant VM).

It does add processing overhead but it worked with my 2010 MacBook Pro until it died and still works (only ten times faster) with the 2016 model. Your only limitation would be the RAM (I would recommend at least 8GB and if you plan to run multiple machines communicating together as much as you can afford - I do believe that Docker has less overhead, but again, for my use, not needed).

The best practice is what works for you, not the latest trend.

Snowden's leaks showed the government could wiretap Skype calls since at least 2010, when the FBI's Skype wiretaps started being ingested into PRISM. Your conspiracy theory for why Microsoft would buy Skype in 2011 doesn't survive even the most rudimentary investigation.
I haven’t fully read the article however even FB didn’t know at the time of the potential nor were they monetizing motile. Now mobile has become the cornerstone of the business. Facebook stock dropped by over half soon after the IPO. Not far from $33B. Before it began its rapid acceleration with mobile beats again and again. And now Instagram revenue being a good chunk for 4 years and changing the narrative of the entire company from the far bleaker one it would have if they didn’t own Instagram.

Even now there’s a big question mark on the future of Whatsapp and FB Messenger. Both have over 1.5B users but bring in negligible money. If one can monetize each user at $2-3 and the other a bit more, FB gets $10B+ more in revenue and more growth and diversified income over this decade.

That proves the point to me too. No one can have more than a vague idea on what revenue and profit FBM, Whatsapp, and any potential acquisition will have in 2025. Or if Facebook launches a cloud platform (doubtful) or a Google Adsense alternative (since it hasn’t happened by now I doubt it but I used to be convinced this would happen for years).

One final example is the Portal. They aren’t going to move the needle any direction right now, but they were considered a bust before corona. Now they are selling well and have potential for expansion. I’m even surprised at their potential. I didn’t know they could do FBM and Whatsapp group chat. Beats out any other static home system. I just bought a pair for my grandmother and my self. Wouldn’t have done it until its fortunes turned around this year and I knew more about it.
And then what’s the packaging/distribution story to run it everywhere else?
systemd does not implement DNS. There's a helper program that can resolve DNS queries (systemd-resolved), but it is optional.

systemd is largely architected the way you'd hope it to be. systemd itself, the core program, is responsible only for maintaining the lifecycle of other programs. The other functionality is provided by satellite daemons, which you can choose to use (or not use!) at will.

Now, distro maintainers may choose to use the whole kit-and-caboodle, but that is a deliberate decision on their part. It's not forced by the systemd authors, and you are free to override your distro maintainer's choice if you so desire.
So I've never done a "phone screen" because that's typically the job of an HR person (just to check whether the candidate is going to waste my time or not, be it because of immediate red flags, low skill level, or whatever else), but I think if the candidate is applying for any medium-sized and bigger company, the companies are typically be very accommodating towards these issues.

I don't have any disabilities (well, none that you can see) so I don't know if that's what it feels like to a person with special needs, but I feel like at my company (medium to big sized US-based corp), interviewers are very accommodating. Personally, I wouldn't worry about not getting a call back because of some disability.

That said, again, I don't have any special needs, so there might be a lot of factors I can't see.

From my perspective as a tech interviewer, as long as I can communicate with the candidate in a meaningful way, I personally wouldn't care about any special needs. I would, obviously, make sure that the person would get proper equipment (i.e. special monitor, keyboard, screen reader, anything they might need) if they were hired of course, but it wouldn't influence my hiring decision.
If US successfully force China to open market, that would be a win for everyone. Of course though, this situation would only occur in fantasy land.
Softbank is selling ARM because they are broke.

The Softbank guy invested a ton of money on WeWork. Tried to sell WeWork for 60 billion, but before that happen WeWork valuation dropped out to 2-5 billion (huge loss). That was in 2019. Afterwards, Softbank invested another 10 billions to try to save it. WeWork owns and also pays rent or hundreds of office buildings in the most expensive zones of all the major capitals in the world. 2020 COVID now means these super expensive offices are now empty, since WeWork customers pay a premium to be able to cancel their leases in <1 week. So essentially, WeWork is broke, worth 0, and Softbank has lost dozens of billions on it.

On top, Softbank owns a huge chunk of Uber, which is also worth close to zero now that people are not travelling due to COVID...

So... yeah... Softbank is selling ARM because they must. They are super broke, and investors are going to pull the money that remains out. Selling ARM and giving investors a tiny benefit so that they keep their money is better than them taking a huge loss this year.
social media app that has up to 80 million daily active users in the United States.

Crazy that one person can ban something over 1/4 the US population uses every day. The implications of that are staggering.

(for any politically trigger fingered voters who think this opinion is derived based on current administration, you would be incorrect. I do not think something like this should ever be decided by a single person, it should go through congress and if a new law or decision is the result of that, the party which is to be banned should have the ability to make their case to SCOTUS)
There’s a specific regulatory pathway for this process, section 505(b)(2). It allows you to use the safety data for the approved treatments which can save you a lot of time and money (I have used this route for a drug myself T one of my companies).

You still have to prove that your formulation is safe,of course, and prove efficacy for the situation you intend to market it for.
Too much hype.

2 reasons for the meteoric rise:

Super duper aggressive marketing spend, akin Apple's iphone rollout.

A long going murmur about them using funny accounting to drive their valuation into stratosphere, and use it to raise money.

"Machine learning" and everything else all fluff.

I can pretty much imagine something akin to page rank for videos being used, with some perceptrons sprinkled on top.
I wonder if it would be good time to do another equity raise. They raised 2 billion dollars earlier this year at a price of 767 (1,430 now) to fuel their growth because they thought there share price was high then.

Once the inclusion is announced, it seems like a perfect time to me to announce another massive capital raise to further fuel their growth now that their share price is almost double from their previous raise and the index funds are going to have to buy about $35 billion to $40 billion of shares to get to the proper weighting according to the article. Why not do a massive capital raise which the index funds will buy a ton of to help get them to the proper weighting.
Yes, and the article is about American CC.

Why are credits scores insane? How do lenders evaluate if it's risky or not to issue a loan to an individual? How do you reward individuals who manage their finance correctly?
