There is some undeniable inefficiency to index funds in terms of rewarding underperformers and punishing high performers in the index. This effect makes it easier for the under-performers to attract top talent with stock options and raise money, and vice versa. Whether that adds up to being a big deal over time is anyone's guess.

As far as how this will affect markets on a macro scale, I suspect it will reduce short term volatility and increase long term swings. I.e., once the percentage of wealth entering index funds has stabilized and we reach the top of a market cycle, the entire index may fall more than normal. People investing passively will indeed start selling when they see a 40% drawdown on their portfolio and panicking headlines across their feed.
Again, I think it's very silly to point at any country, and particularly a country as huge as Iran, and suggest that they're somehow limited to "low-brow phishing, DoS, and website defacements". Iran can pull a million dollars out of their couch cushions any time they want. Do you know how much offensive cyber capability 1MM buys? When it comes to the stuff we use on HN as a measure of sophistication, the answer is: a lot.

North Korea can't even feed its own people or keep the lights on in 2/3rds of the country. But nobody suggests they're unsophisticated cyber actors; that would be a demonstrably silly statement. Meanwhile: people routinely travel in and out of Iran; if you're not an American, it remains a major tourist destination. They have trade relationships around the world. They're not a hermit kingdom. If they want a world-class "APT" team, or 15 of them, all they have to do is decide to have them. (I assume they decided that a long time ago).

If you think Iran is unsophisticated or has minimal capabilities, I'd suggest you just look at a map, and, for bonus points, a GDP ranking, and consider that whatever evidence you personally may have collected on Iran's capabilities, you're seeing what they've allowed you to see.

Myself, I wouldn't even pick a fight with Kiribati.
> it's still an optimization

Maybe. Once you get to measures that have a negligible effect, weird things start to take over. Behavior change (feeling safer in a mask) is probably a bigger factor than the mask, itself, at that point.
I mean its two different things: Nokia a mega corp (at the time) and Pine64 (a few hardware enthusiasts + small overworked dev community).

I get your frustrations and as a PinePhone owner myself I would not consider it anywhere near usable as a real Smartphone replacement.

However after installing Arch it is pretty snappy and has certainly sparked some new hope in me. I really recommend you to check it out.

For Signal there is (or will be) Axolotl [-1] which looks promising and when it comes to developer support both KDE and GNOME devs show some support for it. E.g. GNOME recently announced libadwaita [0].
Give it some time and check out the Arch release for PinePhone: [1].

I'm personally curious to see how much investment goes to the restaurant industry. Despite the sad circumstances that led to lots of real estate becoming available, it will mean fresh opportunity for a new wave of retail and dining.

I suspect the types of businesses opening will be ones that are inherently better adapted to lockdowns and lack of indoor dining in case things surge again.
At a FAANG you'd have healthcare and dental insurance plans co-sponsored by the employer, in addition to pretty humongous compensation that would easily cover your $50 or so dental insurance contribution.

People are waking up to this slowly. Globalization of capital is destroying the ability of local populations to purchase real estate in the places they themselves live. Multiple cities in Europe, even outside of London, are suffering from extreme Airbnbnization, where buildings are pricing out locals just because it's 3x to 10x more profitable to build them for airbnbs.
Iran and Israel stopped being friends after the Islamic revolution when Iran’s government declared Israel is a sworn enemy.

Hopefully one day that will change and we can be friends again as no one gains from the conflict.
It has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of JVM vendors already. You either pass the test suite and call it Java, or don’t call it Java. Also, it is a fork of OpenJDK, so the test suite is free even.

The point of all this is that the platform doesn’t get fragmented, one can trivially migrate from one VM to another. J++ was sued to oblivion for adding Windows only features.
what the policy makers actually say behind closed doors may be very different from their public statements. And i imagine the State Department, being a human agency, don't have a single, moonlithic, agenda.
Yup, friend moved back to Puerto Rico after finishing his PhD and can no longer legally watch most cycling. I know there's a whole history of PR/US whatever-you-want-to-call-it, but it's honestly absurd to me that he can't pay for the same steaming package as me.

It's interesting to see how some sport leagues (from my limited understanding of MLB TV) have realized that they are all in this together. Others, like F1 also have that centralized content control, but still manage to drop the ball in parts. And then you have sports like cycling, with historical stakeholders desperately clinging to their slice of pie as everyone slowly sinks (monetarily).
In my experience, it really depends. I cannot play some games because of the motion sickness, while I'm totally find in some others.

You have different solutions to reduce the sickness. For example teleportation or reducing the field of view when moving. Showing a virtual nose helps too. Common object that are not scaled properly or having unrealistic colours increase motion sickness too.

Now if you are subject of extreme motion sickness in VR, VR is probably not for you. But a lot of people are fine and love VR.
Things like this make me wonder how cheap a truly commoditized nuclear industry could be. What kind of lifestyle are we giving up by requiring orders of magnitude fewer deaths-per-megawatt-hour of nuclear compared to fossil fuels? What if we were civilized enough you didn't have to worry about anyone building their own atom bomb?
Well, if that’s what they’re thinking, surely they have to take into account that Iran has its own hawks who oppose a new deal in the first place and will surely seize on a narrative of national humiliation.
Cool. I have read a lot of approaches to home network monitoring and everybody seems to do things a little bit different.
Telegraf has built-in modules for ping and dns latency. I recommend it as an alternative to prometheus.
Well yeah, that’s what I mean. I’m not convinced any of these actually work.
As a non TV owner and no sport watcher at all, I still think sport is probably something from the best you can watch these days on TV. Have you an idea gow bad the other content is these days LOL
re: separate process - fault-tolerance is a key requirement. There are a myriad of ways how a highly parallelized, network- and data-intensive code can fail, so isolating it in a separate process is a safer approach than trying to try-except everything and hope it works.

What's wrong with having a big, efficient fishing ship? Are all the little guys really needed any more? Maybe work this like oil leases - you bid on exclusive fishing rights to a square, and only some squares are fished each year. Big ships are easy to track. They have AIS, and can be seen from orbit if they're not sending.

As far as I can tell, you're being intentionally uncharitable. There's a difference between doing work in isolation that a politician uses for their own political goals and doing work that specifically and intentionally helps a politician on their request.

If you were to drop all of your ongoing side projects to work with a political candidate that asked for your help, would you really try to argue that you're not at least somewhat tied to that candidate?
Actually you can customize the OS as you wish on this phone. Perhaps it's a big task though.

> we have the largest rail network in the world

For freight[1]. Putative high speed rail might go to the same places but generally can't share the same tracks with 30mph long haul trains. And the big gap is the plumbing of rail and transit into the urban cores, which in most US cities is highly decayed and in many of the newer metropolises was never built at all.

[1] Which is unsurprising, because we have the biggest per-capita need for transcontinental land freight transport in the world. The US has been perfectly fine at building out infrastructure it thinks it needs, it's just been making poor choices about what it "needs".

So, to rephrase, watching the sports you’d like to legally is rather easy, the options being very obvious and straightforward.

You just believe the costs, either in money or in privacy concerns, are not worth it. Which is reasonable.

But to describe it as impossible does not seem accurate.
> I don't have the personal skills to "sell" myself

Your comments do just that, though. Perhaps writing is a good medium for you to make the point to others -- I recommend you do more of it. It makes a great first impression, from which you can follow-up. Be genuine in person as you are in your writing.
Locomotion is a hard problem to solve, I can't find the source but a study in 2018 found that about 18% of people feel nauseous in VR. The headsets have improved significantly since then and there are many tricks a vr dev can use to make the VR experience less nauseating such as vignetting on move. There's a really good resource here https://locomotionvault.github.io/ that lists different approaches.

On a more comical note, some devs go out of their way to show that motion sickness isn't a problem for their game:

Everyone sitting in their glass houses just throwing stones without viewing things from the other side. Do I condemn genocide, of course. Most people condemn genocide. Yet I'm not going to blame Facebook for building a platform for _people_ and then turn around and blame Facebook when _people_ use the platform for nefarious purposes.

Something about cake and eating it too. Even removing Facebook from the equation, the internet itself is ultimately responsible for genocide because it allows people to connect easier than ever before. Are you going to blame the very concept of the internet? Because if you're so up in arms about Facebook, you should be rallying for the destruction of the internet as well. Good riddance, have some perspective.

Corporate income tax is double taxation--in theory.

On the other hand, as others note, there are so many ways for individuals to defer taxation, for example in the case of 401 (k)s, or even eliminate it in the form of large charitable contributions or other mechanisms. So I'm not entirely opposed to some level of corporate income tax.

Iran has military ties and grants aid to Hezbollah and Bashar Al Asad the Syrian dictator (both are neighboring enemies of Israel), has missiles that could potentially threaten Israel, and has publicly threatened death and hellfire upon Israel.

I am certain that nuclear weapons or not, Israel considers Iran enemy #1 and a real threat to be dealt with. A stronger Iran (via sanctions relief) is not in their interest.

Well, FWIW, I’m running a simple smokeping Docker container.

Just works, sits neatly alongside a few extra services (managed via compose) in a little ARM dev board and has kept on ticking for around five years without any hassles using exactly those bits you mentioned.

The new things are shinier, I think, and on the other hand a lot of the old, simpler tools have become less relevant.

As an aside, I recall a younger self annoyed at the inability to get data out of RRDTool into a nice SVG chart. These days I just want the data in whatever format the best tool spits out...
the net certainly does route around many things. I feel thatostlu privacy loss comes from the bad companies we transact with. the net is fairly nuetral, privacy or not wise. but the anti privacy forces certainly can put this routing machine to many vulgar uses, yes.

owning the means of production seems like a rising moral imperative, as polticial/governmental forces increasingly bend more and entities to make more unprivate systems.
I agree. Maybe a prefix of “claimed” or “alleged” or “assumed” would help.

These are the strongest claims I found backing it in the article:

“Israeli media suggest the incident was a result of an Israeli cyber attack.”

“A nuclear facility in Iran was hit by a "terrorist act" a day after it unveiled new advanced uranium centrifuges, a top nuclear official says.”

“Later state TV read out a statement by AEOI head Ali Akbar Salehi, in which he described the incident as "sabotage" and "nuclear terrorism".”

“Ron Ben-Yishai, a defence analyst at the Ynet news website, said that with Iran progressing towards nuclear weapons capability it was "reasonable to assume that the problem... might not have been caused by an accident, but by deliberate sabotage intended to slow the nuclear race accelerated by the negotiations with the US on removing sanctions".”

And background given that 1) a cyber attack, stuxnet, has happened here in the past and 2) recent actions by Iran incentives an action like this occurring again.
The topic is close to my heart so maybe one day :)

> The IRS does not focus a large share of its energy on poorer people.

This is just untrue. In 2021, almost all of the IRS' enforcement energy is focused on poor people. This is continuing a trend that has gone on for 30+ years now of steadily reducing enforcement on the rich and holding it steady or increasing it on the poor, particularly aiming at anyone who claims the Earned Income Tax Credit.

The IRS audits half as many people as it did just five years ago. It audits 1/5th as many people as it did in the 1970s. And these cuts have applied mainly to the top end of the income spectrum. Somehow it passed without much public notice that Trump's budgets massively slashed an already severely underfunded IRS.

In fact, the IRS has now ceased reporting its audit rates of the rich and large corporations, because they're so low, so we no longer even know how low they are.

https://www.propublica.org/article/has-the-irs-hit-bottom
Iran isn't a totalitarian society and it doesn't keep tabs on all its citizens. There are lots of dissident groups in Iran that want to see the regime fall (many Arab minorities, for example). Recruiting from these groups to do Israel's dirty work is not complicated. Some of the Iranian scientists Israel has had killed were apparently killed by Iranian gangsters. In one instance, they drove up to the car the scientist was travelling in at an intersection, smashed the car window and fired multiple shots at him. Not that sophisticated, but gets the job done.

There is not much evidence that Israel's cyber warfare capabilities exceeds that of other states. However, Israel is clearly less reluctant than other states to use what they have offensively. Perhaps because Israel would suffer virtually no diplomatic fallout from getting caught and because it would be Iranians - not Israeli agents - who would be hanged.

Personally, I think praising Israel's cyber warfare is like praising pedophiles for amazing tech savyness for running child pornography rings undetected for so long. It leaves a bad taste, especially since Israel is trying to rebrand itself as a tech leader. The idea is that we should forget about its ongoing human rights abuses and gawk at all the tech Israel is producing.
Well in my defense your evidence is as anecdotal as mine here. The habit of making all options opt out and actively resetting past opt outs over the course of, to your point, decades isn’t exactly what I would call a focus on privacy.

If they were still up to the same practices 15 years ago, 10 years ago and as recent as the last few years....and to your point at scale it doesn’t chnage over night...how are they exactly privacy conscious. The company since its inception is basically antithetical to the concept of privacy and ownership of the data you place on their service.

Edit.

To be clear. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their model. Not a fan of their opt out style approach but that’s clearly not a major issue for most. I just wouldn’t categorize Facebook as privacy focused. At best they seem to respond in a minimalist way to these concerns. Which again is fine. But I wouldn’t say it’s a focus for them.

Only to the degree to which those people avoid taxes on money that they actually make in other states.
There are many levels to this but generally there is an idea that politics and especially laws like these are shaped by those who benefit from them the most - big businesses who can afford lobbying.

In terms of theory there is a Marxist notion of 'ruling class'. In regards to capitalism Marxists think that ruling class of capitalism is big business, not the State itself. Politicians are in a weaker position and just implement the will of the captains of the industry. That is rather extreme notion but still one can see traces of it in society.

And it generally goes both ways - companies have poor (but legal) working conditions and oppose any legislation or action that would change it by being anti-union, by funding thinktanks that do studies that prove raising minimal wage would lead to overall decrease of jobs etc.
As is well known, crime follows economic poverty, not the other way around. Do you think that this is more about the massive economic downturn we are experiencing, rather than police getting their massive budgets trimmed a bit?
