So while I appreciate you mentioning your business and financial aspirations, please remember the time when that, now famous, VR company had a kickstarter. Later - "journey thingie", "we have the same goals", "synergy" etc happened to them at Facebook.

In fact, in the case of WhatsApp a poor cofounder wasn't even able to see what Facebook planned to do with WhatsApp, something almost everybody was able to see with their eyes closed, when they took the billions (happy for them). He is now a respected billionaire born again privacy crusader. Nice guy.

Why do stock markets bubble & collapse?

The cash was enough incentive for my mom to start filling it out, ticking a box that indicated the business environment in our Iowa town was as good as it was before the pandemic.

NB. markets are not faith-based. They are evidence-based.

The trader believes, eg., IF P(stock-increases | evidence) > risk THEN buy

You create bubbles by believing, as all propagandists do, that reality doesn't exist. That belief is evidence.

That works only until people re-evaluate their evidence. As soon as you look at, eg., actual productivity, the whole thing collapses.

It's like the story of the factory hiring the experienced engineer and getting a massive bill for tapping a machine with a hammer. Paraphrasing from memory:

The factory had a machine break down. They hired a few cheap engineers who were unable to diagnose and fix the problem. Eventually they found an experienced engineer who fixed the machine by tapping it with a hammer and charged them $1,000. When they asked for an itemised invoice they got:

Tapping with a hammer: $5
Knowing where to tap: $9,995

I listened to the lead of the study on the radio this morning - he certainly didn't suggest that there was "no immunity" and was careful about linking the fall in anti-bodies to immunity.

I think it is clear that there is some connection though; not straightforward, but there is a link. On the other hand (as the scientist on the radio mentioned) apparently vaccines often work differently and it may be that they offer longer immunity.

The bigger question is how effective the acquired immunity is, and the only way to test it would be to infect a bunch of people who test positive for antibodies or reactive T cells. Pretty dangerous.

Then you'd catalogue symptoms shown by those people held in quarantine, with different innoculum doses given including placebo.

Somewhat similar to a phase 3 trial of a vaccine too, you can do it at the same time.

On the topic of bricking, I had my $250 amazon kindle display the dreaded battery with exclamation mark a day after warranty expired. Coincidence? I contacted amazon and was kindly informed that there are no authrized repair facilities and amazon does not fix it. Was offered $5 to return it and 15% discount. Had to do a bit of research online but it turns out one can take it apart. I disconnected battery and reconnected it and it started charging again. I’m not a conspiracy theorist but this felt like amazon would software brick the device so I would buy new one due to timing of warranty. Disconnecting battery literally reset device. Anyone experience this?

> The other property these languages share, once you get past the initial barriers to entry, is a certain sense of enablement and power.

That's the thing that Lisp/Smalltalk/Forth/Tcl proponents, who lament the unpopularity of their favorite language [1], frequently get wrong. It's not the case that others don't see the light and don't grok the power and flexibility that those languages bring, but that those don't really matter that much in most practical use cases, and that they're even detrimental to building and maintaining a large code base with multiple developers.

Yes, it's great that you can write your own control flow constructs. So what? A sane language already includes those constructs, and they're known and understood by all users of the language without having to first read the documentation of some third-party lib (haha, just kidding, there is none – read the code, dummy!).

[1] I don't mean to imply that you're one of them, I'm talking in general.

I think you need to re-read your own post.

you need to provide some very strong evidence "they [the left] do not believe non-leftists should be allowed to exist."

You literally start by saying:

The legitimacy of the right in the U.S. is an open question

Perhaps you're using an odd definition of legitimate, but generally for a political movement to be recognised as legitimate means it is allowed to take part in the political process, to be supported by people without suppression and so on. Terrorist groups are not politically legitimate, political parties with voters are. It gets tricky in the unusual cases where political parties and terror groups become closely related, as was seen with Sinn Fein and the IRA.

You yourself are now arguing that maybe the right isn't legitimate because of a bog-standard list of leftist talking points, none of which are obvious or uncontroversial, for example what you call "voter suppression" is more obviously interpreted as enforcing existing laws that define who can vote; calling this "suppression" implies that no such laws do or should exist. But nobody is arguing that, are they?

But you need to provide some very strong evidence "they [the left] do not believe non-leftists should be allowed to exist."

This thread is literally about Twitter shutting down a conservative newspaper that has reported news relevant to an election in which conservatives are competing. The NY Post and the story it reported no longer exists on Twitter. How much clearer a piece of evidence do you want?

And again - hold a mirror up and look at the reflection. Your post ends by saying that I should not be given "equal footing in debate" i.e. that people with those views should be (debate-wise) wiped out, not allowed to exist at all. You are the embodiment of what I'm talking about.

I used to run a no-account feed reader on my laptop, but realized it's a mistake -- because it can only update when it's on, and if you're e.g. away for a week without connectivity (highly recommended!) you can't get the updates back -- some of the feeds I follow average 20 posts/day, but only publish the recent 100 on RSS.

I switched to an always-on server app (NewsBlur paid service, which has a no-ad app for iOS, and which I highly recommend, and I assume the Android version is good as well) - but it does require an account (you can self host; I was too lazy)
Ask HN: Who in fintech is working on automated refinancing?
There are a lot of services that will show you different loans and refinance opportunities that you can apply for. All of them require you to fill out an entirely new application for each loan or lender. This is inefficient because most of the questions are the same. A better service would allow you to receive offers that you don't have to reapply for based on information you have already provided, a kind of "real-time automated broker."

PostgreSQL should stop creating a separate PROCESS per connection. This is just a waste of resources.
Residential Internet almost never guarantees speed to the Internet backbone, it is just advertising the Ethernet link speed. There are subscriptions with guaranteed performance, but at a different price.

My home Internet connections are 1 Gbps and 300 Mbps (2 links from 2 providers, I work from home and I need the uptime) for less than $10 each, but the transfer speeds are close to these numbers only for local servers, getting out of the country is about half these speeds.

The (British) press only ever reports bad news, or speculative good news. Science reporting is a joke at best. Example, the MMR vaccine "causes autism" (it doesn't), was front page news for months. When Andrew Wakefield was conclusively discredited, that barely made the front page in most newspapers, and the damage was done.

Bad news sells unfortunately.

You're right that what actually matters is the number of people travelling between countries - social, rather than physical, geography - but for the most part actual physical distance from Italy seemed to be a good approximation of that, maybe with the exception of the UK and New York.

The reason why Italy was the epicenter is a bit of a mystery though. There's hints they screwed up their Covid testing and managed, pretty much uniquely among Western countries, to not actually test people hospitalized with potential symptoms who didn't have links to travellers from China, meaning that they only detected community spread when someone who did happen to have contact with someone who travelled from there caught it from someone else. But there doesn't seem to be much coverage of this at least in English-language media; everyone's focused on arguing that their country did worse than Italy because Italy was caught by suprise, whereas everyone else had them as a warning, without examining how they ended up getting caught by surprise. It's also not a full explanation. Possibly it just came down to random chance.
That's the reason why there are standards such as the ISO2626, so when a vehicle malfunctions and causes mayhem the vendor isn't at fault but the standard (assuming that the vendor did meet the standard). And then the blame can be pointed at the standard (i.e. "we did everything by the book not our fault") then nobody is liable.
You can find bad code in any popular language. Therefore, any popular language will get bad rap. Java, C++, PHP...

Bad developers will write bad code in any language, and they will blame the language for it.

People blame Go for lack of a some features like generics just because they are unable to write clean code.

I have had similar discussions with friends who invested their money in single stocks by very few companies (instead of getting, say, ETF shares) and my POV has always been this:

1. You cannot beat the market (i.e. ETFs) for two reasons: A) The market consists mostly of institutional investors. Institutional investors spend an enormous amount of time and money on making sure that they come out on top. B) The fact that institutional investors spend so much time and money on evaluating stocks means that all possible information about a company, i.e. all future expectations about the company and all risks have already been priced in and the market is efficient (in the economic sense). In particular, the future stock price development is by definition unpredictable and mostly random because it will be based on future information that does not exist yet.

2. As a corollary of 1), you get profits not for knowing a company well and assessing their valuation accurately (all this has already been priced in at the time you buy the shares!), you reap profits for enduring risk. The higher the risk, the higher the potential profits (or the loss).

3. Sure, arbitrage exists. But again, who is going to be more likely to discover opportunities for arbitrage? An institutional investor or a stay-at-home mom?
