Sure, I totally plan to return to the index when it seems to make sense so you're right, it's only a bad investment (imo) right now.

I have other investments in web entities (think reddit style aggregation sites) in niches that tend to do well in downturns. They're pretty much a very small fixed cost for me every month (spot instances on AWS ftw) and can be cut off at any time. I feel safe holding cash (and its deflation) because the profit from those is no longer seeding indexes but being stacked on my cash pile. Ideally keeping my overall cash from deflating.
Thanks - I have tried to track one down here in New Zealand and found it hard. You are quite right that ESP8266s won't run long on battery.

Intel likes to pretend that the iAPX432 never happened. Some friends and I were waiting for it to be released to build a machine around it, but then the Berkeley RISC papers came out with their benchmarks. Even though the 8086 was far slower than RISC I it was still so much faster than the 432 that we dropped our plans. Intel had been proposing that the 8086 would be an i/o controller for the 432 but now this would be like having your keyboard processor be much faster than your CPU.

The second version (i960) kept the good parts of the iAPX432 while making it very competitive but by then the PC had made that irrelevant.
Conda is one of the most vile pieces of software I have ever used and recommending beginners to take on that dragon sounds like complete insanity to me.

(node and native binaries and Docker and ECS) with a single build command
"origin" is a starter boilerplate for building APIs, CLIs, or UIs.

It generates:
- a node module
- native binaries for win/mac/linux
- a docker image
- and optionally an ECS cluster
...from a simple Node TypeScript project, with a single build command.

The origin project just contains a boilerplate express app, that compiles to native binaries as well as a Docker image. The boilerplate contains an infrastructure as code config as well to get you deployed to an ECS cluster fast.

Supports running locally and deploying a production ready HTTPS containerized service rather quickly.

Can also be easily ported to target any cloud, or Lambda and other serverless runtimes.

This has greatly increased my productivity while building "microservices" or whatever they are called these days ;). Hope you can benefit and enjoy as well!

Thanks for reading.

No. Once it’s public it’s public. It’s actually incredibly difficult to get charged and convicted of insider trading. It has to be really blatant.

It's all in the post ("Don't you know that leveraged ETFs are only intended to be held for one day?" section) but there's something we need to clear up before we start.

(1) What people refer to as "decay" is just the way the the daily exposure works on these ETFs. To quote the article:

"Let's say over five days the daily returns of the index are +1%, -2%, +3%, -4%, +5%, and you start with $100."

"At the end of the five days your $100.00 becomes $102.76."

"Now let's use a 3X leveraged ETF. Ignoring ER and other costs, the daily returns are +3%, -6%, +9%, -12%, +15%."

"At the end of the five days your $100.00 becomes $106.80."

6.80 is not 3X 2.76, and it's because down days leave you with less exposure the following day, so you need a bigger up day than the preceding down day to make up for it. However, as the article points out, this dynamic works for you in ETFs that exhibit positive momentum. Since "stocks always go up" -- at least the S&P always goes up over time, so far -- this dynamic works to your favor and the total return of UPRO to date has been 5X the return of SPY.

(2) UPRO and TMF are uncorrelated, and so the positive momentum of SPY causes UPRO performance to exceed 3X, and offset some of the lower-than-3X performance of TMF over time. For the record since 2017, the performance of TMF is 2X that of TLT, give or take.

(3) Further, the way this makes money is actually when the S&P drops 10%, UPRO drops 30%. As people flee assets, they buy treasuries, pushing TLT up 6-7%, which causes TMF to go up 20%. Then at rebalancing time, you sell TMF and use it to buy UPRO, so you sell the 3X winner, and buy the 3X loser at a deflated price. When prices normalize, the extra shares on the losing end in conjunction with positive momentum (and the fact you've reduced the size of your winner before it falls) put you much further ahead than if you weren't using leveraged ETFs.

This strategy makes money on volatility, and should be agnostic to market performance. It actually held up really well during March.

> If you are so inclined, you can actually visit Xinjiang yourself and ask Uighurs there about the situation. China has been actively been encouraging foreign inspectors to visit Xinjiang to see the situation.

Oh that sounds news to me. I was under the impression that no foreign media was allowed to freely roam and report in Xinjiang.

Can you please share your sources and any instances of foreign to China (and perhaps non US like say EU/India/Australia/Arabic etc.) media coverage in Xinjiang?
The Bogleheads site is fantastic. Both the wiki and the discussion board are of high quality; the board is one of those rare niche "Web 1.0" boards with super-knowledgeable posters that almost doesn't exist anymore.
The book (The Bogleheads' Guide to Imvesting), written by the website creators, is also one of the best introduction to passive investing. A must for anyone starting out needing to figure out the ins and outs of IRAs, ETFs etc.

Anything that already exists in my shell's history as a one-liner, but needs to be upgraded to a reusable script.

As far as I know, one liners are not possible in Python. As a matter of fact, I'm not aware of any popular tools that can even hold a candle to Perl's power at the command line. So, my options are:

1. Forget about one-liners. This is the option most people seem to take, and also by far the worst one. In my career I regularly saw my perfectly competent colleagues take minutes or hours to write throwaway scripts to do what I would do in seconds with a Perl one-liner.

2. Use Perl for one-liners, then rewrite the few that graduate to scripts in Python. This one isn't as obviously absurd as the first, but still seems like a rather large waste of time overall.

3. The obvious: paste your one-liner into a new file, add some newlines and whitespace and command-line options and whatever else.
Luckily we don't live in a cyberpunk world where corporations are above the state. TikTok is obedient to the state and is still getting banned, the US has no excuses.
In many languages you can always get at the argv list; e.g. sys.argv in Python, os.Args() in Go, ARGV in Ruby, etc.

It's not universal though; you can't in C or shell scripts for example (although, if you really want to, it's not hard to assign a global). I never had the need to inspect commandline arguments beyond the main() function though.
If you're a consumer it's great, you just get the new thing automatically without having to do anything. But of course that can be realized with an off-button if you're not an asshole.
This doesn’t seem true to me. You can definitely work with the traditional kernel and C model, but we have eBPF, GPU computing, unikernels, C++20 and Rust… and I’m not a low-level guy, that’s just off the top of my head. Things do evolve.

Maybe it's because some of us grew up watching the horrors of the Iraq war, and the immense duplicity, chaos, and waste of human potential? Those who opposed the Iraq war were overwhelmingly silenced back then and I refuse to let the same happen now.
No, you take code away by using argparse! Handles all this GNU longopt and argument parsing stuff for you, and autogenerates the --help display. Probably something like this:

import argparse

def auto_int(x): return int(x,0) # http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25513043/

def main(argv):
parser=argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_option('-r',dest='reverse',action='store_true',help='reverse operation: convert hex to binary')
parser.add_option('-w',default=40,dest='width',nargs='?',type=auto_int,help='maximum width: fit lines within width (default is %(default)s.)")
options=parser.parse_args(sys.argv[1:])
if options.reverse: bin2hex(options.width)
else: hex2bin()

if __name__=='__main__': main(sys.argv[1:])
> In addition to getting the satellites in orbit, SpaceX will need to build a vast system of ground stations and affordable user terminals if it is going to connect consumers directly to its network.

Why are ground stations required? I thought you were connecting from your dish to the satellite and therefore could be anywhere with a view of the sky.
A lottery generally has negative expected return, so probably not the best example to use
We'd love to hear what your opinion on https://marquee.activecove.com/ is!
Legally insider trading is something pretty specific involving having access to inside information that not everyone has access to. Courts have acted differently in different situations depending on duty to the corporation for those affiliated. However for anyone without a duty to keep the information public, you can trade on whatever information you want. Requires the information be nonpublic and that the trader have a duty (usually, an insider giving inside stock tips to a friend who makes the trades is still acting illegally).

Morally, it depends on your ethical framework. I don’t think insider trading that doesn’t fit the definition of illegal insider trading is immoral, not because it’s legal but because the legal definition is pretty robust as to align with moral culpability.
I'm impressed as hell that the customer service guy and engineers at the company were so willing to answer technical questions!
She's the founder of interviewing.io, which is a mock interviewing platform. So I'm guessing her insight comes from looking at all the metrics (e.g. pass rate, strengths/weaknesses of candidates) from the mock interviews hosted on the platform.

That being said, I'm sure she has conducted her fair share of interviews.
> Ask yourself if there is any condition where you would deallocate from stocks.

It's reasonable to deallocate from individual stocks, or to sell to reallocate to other investments and keep to your plan. Deallocating from the stock market entirely, long-term is a much stronger position to take. There would need seismic shifts in the global economy to do that, because it's like admitting that on aggregate companies aren't going to make money anymore, right?

> staking your claim on the US equities market is hugely risky

I don't believe I ever said you should invest solely in the US equities market. There's also REITs, ex-US developed markets, bond markets, emerging markets.

Can you share sources, please? I'd love to learn more.
Same here. My apartment windows only tilt upwards, so there was no way to use a window mount. A portable unit was the only way to go.

But I created a wedge-shaped mount for the hose ports that fits in the triangular window gap exactly, so the room is still relatively sealed. When summer is over, the mount is disassembled and stored flat.

I've never seen anyone else do this. I've always hated the look of hoses dangling out of open apartment windows and of course that's terribly inefficient. Every time I see our windows from the outside I'm rather jazzed at how great-looking the solution is.
I made the same calculation getting from San Jose to Portland. I wanted to avoid air travel, so I checked the train. I'm taking four people.

Air: $628 and about 5 hours (security, parking, etc)
Train: $312 for coach, 21 hours (driving on each end)
Train: $750 for a room for four
My van: $120 gas, no hotel, 12 hours door to door w/ stops.

The car is maybe $300 if you include wear and tear. But as a bonus, I have a car for my week in Portland. To have that same benefit with the other transit, I'd have to rent a car for a few hundred dollars at the other end.

Heck, I could pay someone to drive my van for me for about $150 each way, and still break even with the train but save time.
If someone came to me with 10 letters like that I'd probably jump at becoming a technical co-founder depending on my life situation at that moment. If it was bad timing for me I could connect that person with a few other people who would jump at that opportunity too.
It _really_ depends on who the person is and what their duty to the company is. Your statement is correct for those unaffiliated, but I’ve seen a fair share of prosecutions for insider trading for those with a duty to the company.

> short options with arguments - conjoining with other short options, for example - are actively harmful to legibility in scripts

Agreed, which is why you shouldn't do that :-) They're a lot easier to type though. I consider short and long arguments as solving different problems: the short are short so it's easy for interactive usage (especially for common options), and the long ones are for scripting (or discoverability, especially with things like zsh's completion).

So I usually use "curl -s" on the commandline, and "curl --silent" when writing scripts.
In my experience, I've been able to settle for less than full balanced owed (the collection agencies buy them by the bundle for pennies on the dollar), and all negative tradelines removed (original charge off and collection account) under new (2018ish) publicly listed policies of doing so.

This approach is mainly used by third-party debt buyers, like Encore/Midland/Cavalry. And doesn't apply to public judgments, if they decide to pursue that route. Thankfully, I have managed to avoid that in my credit recovery journey.

First-party (original creditor) will laugh or tell you it isn't possible if you ask for a PFD settlement, but there are documented instances of it happening as early as 2010 in my research for "making the case" before these policies started to become more widespread.
Corporate censorship bites both ways; see Apple's reluctance to approve HKmap.live for its platform.
In this specific case we are dealing with an app that gives a company beholden to our enemy the power to snoop on the behavior of tens of millions of our citizens.

In the real world, when you must take into account the realities of power politics sometimes extraordinary steps have to be taken.

China has been engaging in cyber espionage against the US for decades. Like it or not, we are engaged in a struggle with them because we have fundamentally different political worldviews.

These two worldviews cannot coexist.
not quite sure what you are talking about. I found that question "hard" and failed the interview.
Just saw in the WSJ:
"Microsoft has paused negotiations to buy the U.S. operations of the video-sharing app TikTok after President Trump said late Friday he opposed the deal, according to people familiar with the matter."
Easy to say that a country doesn't play by the rules when you make up the rules as you go along.
For this situation, an action to skip output until it settles would be even better. A fast terminal isn't as fast as no terminal.
The ground stations will have very fast fiber connections to the greater internet for the satellite network. The user terminals will connect to dishes / antenna at peoples houses, like directv
Is there any proof that TikTok captures any more data than any other popular app of its type ?
Most languages have one kind of "object" used for data and another kind used for instances of classes associated with OO programming. JavaScript traditionally uses one kind for both (traditionally, in that there is now an alternative, Map, but it's underused https://macwright.com/2017/03/13/maps-not-strictly-better.ht... )

In other languages, the data kind of object - dicts in python, hashes in ruby - allows you to associate any key with any value. In JavaScript, the hybrid kind of object that's used for both, allows you to associate keys with values, but has some keys that are special, like __proto__, that override language constructs and cause chaos and vulnerabilities.
Perception of temperature depends on more than just the temperature - there are other factors. For me, in winter 74 is hot. In summer, 74 is just right - sometimes a bit cool. The level of clothing is the same in both cases. Even within summer I've found quite a bit of variation in perception for the same temperature. A sunny day and a cloudy day feel very different at the same temperature.

I once went hiking. I checked the forecast and the maximum was 72. Great! I almost had a heat stroke - very bad day. I confirmed later that the temperature was not higher. And I've hiked at warmer temperatures just fine.

This is why when I buy a car, I want to make sure it's trivial for me to adjust both the flow of air and the level of cool/heat independent of each other, and not rely on the temperature setting. Almost all cars let you do that these days, but there was a period where some cars did not let you do that. Having a thermostat and letting you maintain a temperature is really not much of a feature if the variance in the "right" temperature is too large.
With this and the Kodak crypto before, I can’t believe the SEC won’t get involved...
$1K would get a decent road bike, but not really one I'd consider "really nice".

I have a really nice road bike, and a decent steel framed commute bike. I've used both on a trainer, but it's not the same feel as a spinning bike, particularly when standing up and cranking hard on the pedals.

A good spinning bike will last a decade or more with little maintenance, but you'll be changing tires often on the road bike trainer as well as all of the other maintenance that comes with a bicycle.

You can get a good workout on a bike+trainer and if that's all your budget (or space) allows, it's a good option, just don't expect it to be a spinning bike.
Number of rootkits Secure Boot has saved me from: zero

Number of times Secure Boot has locked out a legitimate user: too many

The only reason everyone used the Fedora key was because the alternative was registering with Microsoft, paying $99, and hoping for approval. Microsoft are as much a gatekeeper in this as they've always been, and the whole framing of the news around this feels like an attempt to discredit those who would go around the gatekeeper: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/17542.html

The ground stations tie the satellite network into the internet. Once they have the inter-satellite laser links operational, they will be able to get by with many fewer ground stations.
> You'd be surprised how much twiddling and research you need to do to find a correctly sized bike and which smart trainer

Yeah, I'm surprised. People come into a bike shop and come out with a reasonable bike unless they're really looking for something special. A Kickr stand and a bike which fits you "just works" in my experience. What exactly do you think an average person would need to do beyond that?

If Europe is concerned that the US is a threat to its collective security they might want to start with getting rid of all our military bases and alliances before worrying about comparatively trivial matters like apps.
IMO, abstractions aren’t easy, but programming with the wrong abstraction is significantly worse than with the right abstraction.

I think that because everyone starts with few visible abstractions, they get the sense that adding abstractions adds ease. Removing or changing them is often just as valuable.
Fwiw I did not see your gov comments but I can be both for more gov oversight in tech and against one politician deciding unilaterally what apps are allowed.

If it is necessary to curtail what apps can collect, let's make it a law and apply it evenly to all companies.
That is an excellent way to grow your content. Keep it as personal as possible and people will continue to engage.

Years ago I bought a used (portable) evaporative cooler for $25. When the temperature is not higher than, say, 85F, it is very effective in the day. I do not live in a dry climate. During the day it's 20-50% humidity, and gets high at night. It's clearly a lot less effective at night, but it's usually cool anyway at night.

Window air conditioners work great, but if you can't have that, consider an evaporative cooler if you can get one at a decent price. Do make sure you get one with a decent air flow as well as a decent sized tank (e.g. one where you can run it all night without the water running out in the middle).

Probably won't work well in humid Midwest or South/East.
This probably doesn't describe Ohio well.
