Are you in Portland right now? I don't know who in the city you've been talking to, but that is not the consensus that I am picking up from folks on the street. Folks are tagging buildings and infrastructure faster than it can be repainted, anti-police flyers cover the power poles, and house after house has "defund the police" and "black lives matter" written in their windows.

As far as the city itself, the city council just voted to defund the police and to give us a vote in November to set up more police oversight. The only people complaining are the police, who are retaliating by digging up dirt on city councilors.

Broken-window criminology happens to be based on fabricated data, bad statistics, and lies; it was created in order to justify racial oppression via aggressive policing. You can learn more about the history of James Q. Wilson and broken-window theory from "How Police Unions Made Cops Even Deadlier" [0] or other detailed analyses of Wilson's legacy. By making casual reference to these theories, you are propagating the same system that killed the people whose deaths spawned the protests that you are bemoaning.

The Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (Settlement fund) has a variable rate but produced 1.1% in the last year and 4% since inception.

In addition when you park your money there you can easily invest it at any time. In general going straight up Vanguard with minimal oversight is much better deal than Wealthfront.

I agree, and I've put quite a lot into bitcoin recently due to the halving. But that was only after reading and understanding everything I could about the bitcoin markets. From the outside it definitely seems like a crazy speculation.

I would never recommend someone invest in bitcoin unless they've done a lot of research, are ready to hold through drops of 50% or more, and are prepared to hold for many years. Investors who haven't done the due diligence could be tempted to sell after a huge drop, and it's probably not for most people.

That being said, to outsiders it could be argued that bitcoin is at least a decent asymmetrical bet, and worth throwing a couple percent at. But only as much as someone is willing to lose.

If you feel learning to code would be a worthwhile end in itself, sure build it yourself. Just recognize it'll take much longer and you may have to scrap it when you bring someone more technical on.

Otherwise you should outsource the absolute minimum necessary to prove the idea has legs in the market and use that to attract a technical cofounder.
The normal first question is "do you have near-term need for this money" which it sounds like your answer would be "No, this came to me and now I just need to invest it for a long time".

It sounds like your asset allocation is currently:

- $50k "index fund" (S&P 500?)
- $150k land/home
- $200k industrial real estate
- $450k cash

I would suggest you start at Asset Allocation [1] and as an example read through the "Three Fund Portfolio" [2]. Before this cash, you were nearly 90% real estate. At the very least, you can outperform "cash at a bank" by at least keeping that $450k in a Vanguard or similar Prime Money Market Fund [3]. So as you think about what to do, take the 1.3% or so :).

I still buy an odd stock in low single digits as a "token" - if I like the company I should get some stocks - think PTON, TSLA, AMD, GOOG, AAPL etc. However vast majority of everything else is in blend of vanguard index funds.

Why do you need EU passport? Seems like unreasonable investment
Countries intervening in private industry for national security reasons is a pretty ancient phenomenon. I doubt many people will see it as a fatal compromise of free market principles.
The hypocrisy in YC isn't this.

It's that people argue the virtues of "free-markets" while simultaneously arguing the most valuable thing any business should build is a "moat".

It the utter acknowledgment that avoiding/prevent competition is the way to be successful, while arguing that free markets enforce competition.

Its blatantly obvious that network effects, exclusivity contracts and monopolies exist. And well and market dominance leads to more dominance by purchasing any future competitive business. And yet claim most success comes from marker efficiency.

Taking a non-tech example. Madden is getting closer to a 20 year exclusive license NFL on consoles. No game can compete with made up teams and rosters. The product is stagnant, innovation a dump and yet this continuous aspect of "free-market" is ignored.
As I currently recide in a country famous for blocking access to websites, I follow these developments as closely as I can.

Whatever happens, it's probably going to be a recipe on how to force all foreign providers to act the way the local government wants. These days the theme is forcing on the ant-gay stance, they managed to force Netflix a show that had a gay character in it. Besides that charade, they passed laws to control the social media in the name of national security and citizens rights. This comes after Twitter exposed and deleted a pro government troll army.

Anyway, if this happens Facebook, Google, Twitter etc. can start looking into the future of Instagram for Iran, Twitter for Turkey, Google for EU - all forced to partner with a local company and the global versions inaccessible.

I am sure that the US ban of TikTok would be well rationalised but the US could have chosen the EU approach of enforcing US data being kept on US soil. Sad that US choose the Chinese approach of right our of banning(because somehow becoming like China is the way of topping the authoritarian Chinese order). Something tells me that this is not about national security.

Welcome to the world of partitioned internet in the name of national security. A boring dystopia where the less fre world no longer has a role model.

I hope you enjoy the life where the government is telling you what you can and can't use so that the country stays safe. Brilliant system that served all kind of authoritarian regimes.

Good luck to the start-ups, from now on you are looking to a future where you will have to strike a deal with each country you want to operate.

> I can't help but feel they help those taking the most money from lobbyists hide from view.

If everybody takes money from an industry, no one has to hide because it will never be pointed out. The only way you can look bad is in comparison to outsiders, and many voters automatically disqualify outsiders as not being good enough to be insiders. We filter for bad apples, then call people who point out that we get exactly the results we would expect cynics and nihilists.

> It takes a lot more effort to name some specifics either rules or people

You can literally google who takes the most money from the industry. It's not a secret, and sunlight doesn't kill it.

Glad someone mentioned this. Tools like Bubble.io can help a relatively non-technical person get a MVP up in a matter of weeks. It’s particularly useful for any kind of CRUD app (which most SaaS apps are at their core).

As a bonus, using these no code tools forces you to learn how to architect an application at a high-level, which can be useful if you choose to learn how to code “for real” someday.

I’d buy more cash flow generating real estate.

As others have noted, we are printing cash and all assets valued in our currency are likely to be impacted.

Aside from being a mostly clickbait puff piece, the solution to this is regulation. All companies collecting data this way need to be subject to exactly the same requirements as the credit bureaus. Citizens need to be told what data is collected, why, when it gets used, and they need easy access to seeing their own data, as well as a well-regulated method for correcting it.

And we could just dramatically limit how much of this can even be used for housing and employment decisions, and crank up the penalties for misuse.

They renamed it to Raku, the renamed have two benefits in minds

1. Reintroduce Perl 6 (Raku) as a completely new language, since some thought that being linked to Perl prevented adoption

2. Open the road for Perl 5 to evolve and add features, many people in the Perl 5 community thought that Perl 6 prevented Perl 5 from growing

In Summary, the sentiment was, Perl 5 and Perl 6 are two different languages each with its own roadmap, but that the name gave the impression they are one, and prevented both from evolving
You understand there is a large swath of the human race that just isn't that intelligent right? Saying "but the information is free!!!" means absolutely NOTHING to someone who can't comprehend it.

That's ignoring the fact you expect them to decipher which information is accurate and inaccurate. How exactly do you expect someone who lacks critical thinking skills to determine who is telling them the truth and who is lying? The fact there are hundreds of thousands to millions of US citizens who believe in Q-Anon should tell you how flawed your logic is.

Neither.

Did you read the article? One of the things the author learned was a key thing that most people who complain about this kind interview don't understand.

> Yes, your interviewer wants to see that you can come up with a solution, but one thing you must not forget is that they also want to see that you can collaborate with other team-mates to come up with a solution. While companies want rock-stars, they also want team-players.

I'm sure there exist interviewers who sit there and let you sweat trying to come up with something that you don't know. But most interviewers, at least at places that require a steady stream of quality engineers and thus have invested a lot in their interview pipeline, only expect you to know the fundamentals. They may ask you to implement a TCP handshake... but they want to see how you approach the problem. If you know how to do it by heart, that'll be to your credit. But if you don't, it's expected that you work with the interviewer to collect requirements. Seeing how you make progress on a problem you don't already know how to solve is exactly why you're there.

The US government will pay for tests, and they also require insurers to cover it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Families_First_Coronavirus_Res...

The one insurance representative quoted in the article said they would cover the cost of the test.

This article is more about providers billing for things that aren't the test.
> That reads like “If a small number of families could forfeit several lifetimes’ of fortunes accumulated via serving the needs/wants of vast swaths of population, let’s take their money and do it!”

"via serving the needs/wants of vast swaths of population" is completely false. The article was about inherited wealth. When you inherit wealth, you didn't serve the needs of vast swaths of the population. You were simply born to the right parents.
Since you have $750K in assets, you could consider investing in a social enterprise or giving to charity. I support GiveDirectly because their model -- direct cash transfers -- is very efficient.

Otherwise, as other people have said, it depends on your time frame and the amount of risk you are willing to take on. If you can wait 5+ years, a fund blending index tracking with some bonds (for stability) is an excellent option.

Yeah... I learned this the hard way.

I thought AMD had great Linux driver support, and open source drivers.

Turns out AMD only has the open source driver part of the things, and this driver does not support a large chunk of their products.

I'd take a binary driver over no driver any day (and in fact, I returned the amd card and am using intel now, which works great).
In your first paragraph, you're supporting your baseless accusation with even more baseless accusations (all speaking in absolutes, and posited as facts! And some of them are so comical I'm not sure how you can seriously make such claims - it's funny you should mention cults, do you realize how you yourself sound?)

In your second paragraph, you're missing that no other Chinese app has 100 million American users. So yeah, no other app is under fire, but no other app matters nearly as much.

As to my username, for some reason I'm not surprised that it's too politically incorrect for you.
No-one argues that the US has an unregulated free market and no-one respectable argues that it should.

Keeping spyware-collected data of private citizens out of the hands of antagonistic authoritarian regimes seems like an appropriate use of regulation, no? Hard to argue its less appropriate than trust-busting or consumer protection regulations.
I agree, I think the line between low taxes and high taxes should be very high, 200k or above. 200k people don't have enough resource control to personally warp democracy.

Evaporation rate should be proportional to surface area, so the volume of extra water you need to add to make up for that should also be proportional to the surface area too. Adding extra water to a fixed depth accomplishes that.

> that the US and China aren’t in the same moral ballpark.

I am not saying that it's necessarily the same, but is probably a lot closer than one would hope.

U.S. prison populations are basically forced labor, killing millions of civilians, not its own citizens but still, within living memory is also a thing, millions are without health insurance during a pandemic and still no universal healthcare in sight, police brutality, treatment of migrants, coups in foreign countries, school shootings, drone strikes with over 90% civilian causalities, holding people without trial at CIA black sites and GB etc.

Then you have the crimes that weren't committed directly by the U.S. but by its ales with U.S. encouragement and sale of arms, like what the Saudis are doing in Yemen right now, or the indirect funding of extremist elements in places like Syria via the likes of Qatar.

One area where the U.S. is far worse is overthrowing democratically elected leaders of sovereign countries that weren't sufficiently subservient to American corporate interests. It's basically the government doing the bidding of private interests, which is the very definition of fascism.

Again, I don't think they're exactly the same, but not as far apart as you'd think. The one major difference is the U.S. treats foreigns like trash, while China likes to keep it more domestic on that front.
