There were some interesting books written about some bankruptcies associated with stocks.

Which doesn't subtract from you main point, yes, real estate is much riskier than it might look.

For example-- what happens when municipalities realized their pension funds are broke, and they decide to raise property tax to cover the shortfall?
Maybe what he meant is "there is no server that we are responsible for", which is where the benefit lie for them.

> Is it going to suddenly pop? Unlikely,

I disagree.

https://www.currentmarketvaluation.com/models/buffett-indica...

Unless you mean will it pop tomorrow, then yes that is unlikely. But the chances it pops “soon” seem quite likely. And it will be very ugly. I don’t know if we have ever seen a spring coiled this tight from money printing.

It's a "preliminary finding". It can, and presumably will, be appealed.
> You could argue that the entire market is a mania.

Objectively, the big publicly listed companies are growing and have stellar financials. I can think of no better place for someone to invest, other than maybe diversifying into real estate with high demand, if they already have a significant amount invested in public equity markets.

Public equity market prices are also backed by the federal government, at least on a 5+ year (maybe even 3+ year) timeframe per events over the last few decades.
It works just fine. I've upgraded vdevs this way several times, and it worked without a hitch on every occasion.

Taleb in his Black Swan book makes exactly the counter-point for this type of article that uses statistics and curves to predict and explain something that doesn't fit laws of averages and bell curves. Interesting read. The statistics of the article are just observational without any kind of predictive power or meaning.
The S&P had one 22-year drawdown in its history, the Great Depression. Second place was 4 years.

If people planned to contribute once in their life, the risk of buying the top before a long drawdown would be relevant.

Most people spend decades of their life buying investments. Even folks with bad luck seldom buy the absolute top -- positions acquired a couple months before are out of the drawdown that much sooner.

No backtest of typical investment patterns is going to see any 15-year net losses in the S&P's history.
You, the person expecting an explanation, won't have access to the model to twiddle with the parameters and see what happens. In this case I'm assuming something like "the bank explaining to you why your loan was accepted/rejected", not just the model explaining to the bank employees why it was accepted/rejected, because this is where the social friction is and why anybody cares at all about explanations.
Yes, that was implied in my comment

Well, the smooth cover of the pyramids have been stolen and the pyramids have been used as source material for building in the past. So, not stolen in its entirety, but damaged.

What I would think is that some, if not all, of the ordinary stones will indeed by lost, but then surreptitiously replaced by others (after all, they have no identifiable properties).

1300 years from now, there will be stones, but the not the original ones. I think it fits the purpose perfectly, just like purported official Christian relics.

This is really interesting! Currently trying to solve a similar problem thing myself, so having a look through to learn from your solution.

I'd recommend having a look at AWS CDK to manage the AWS resource creation, is much nicer than raw CloudFormation: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/

For my solution to this I've also then got a frontend ontop of my backend to setup view mailboxes, email list per mailbox, email viewer (read/unread status), and email sending. I'm doing the same with S3/SES/Lambda + DynamoDB for email sending/recieving/processing + email metadata in DynamoDB. Mine is currently WIP and needs some real auth (using a URL API key, not the most secure...) + email replying + tidying up. Will definitely open source my solution and post to HN when ready.
> the returns can be negative (even in cases where you hold up to 15 years)

Are you certain? Are you taking into account potential deflation or other factors during that time?

There are some analyses that say that even if you bought at the height in 1929, you would actually still make you money back within 10 years. Here is an article from 2009 [1] suggesting that the very longest true downturn of the stock market was 8 years, during the recession of the 1970s.

Slackware was my alternative to Gentoo at the time. Gentoo was cool because it was all compiled, more efficient etc. That shit sounded good to me as a teenager. I remember one summer I had the Gentoo ISO all burnt on a CD-R and stayed up all night to watch it install and compile on my Athlon Thunderbird PC (My parents didn't spend money much on computers and I had to make do with stuff that I saved for with birthday money). I fell asleep on a bean bag and woke up finding that it failed to compile something. I had to resort to asking the main IRC channel and message board to help me fix it, but I didn't have time :) I was disappointed as a 14 year old. I then downloaded Slackware and printed off the installation guide at school. I followed it to the T and it worked. It was fun and awesome because it allowed me to understand how things worked under the hood and provided insights on how a linux system hung together. Those days in the 00s are gone but the memories are still there.
It's not surprising you wouldn't see much difference between Kablock/Safari on desktop and content blockers/Safari on mobile - I believe they're basically the same kind of interface for providing blocking rules.

FF's extension interface allows more sophisticated rules & blocking behavior, and uBO takes advantage of that. You may be fortunate that you don't happen to spend time on sites where it makes a difference, but I'll say from experience that I do see ads and annoyances on some sites on my iPad that I do not see on my laptop or Android phone (both running FF with uBO). It's not a huge difference - as was said above, Safari with content blockers is certainly usable, but uBO is still better.

I am speculating a bit here because I haven't dug too deeply to confirm this, but I think one technique sites use to work around ad blockers that Apple-platform content blockers don't handle well but uBO does is serving ad content from the same origin as real content (and even with similar paths as real assets). Last I looked, Safari content blockers were mostly limited to old-style rules of "block assets matching this URL" and "block this css selector on this site", so when sites do the work to make ad assets look the same as real content assets, that can't be blocked as effectively with content blockers. uBO can inspect the DOM and other aspects of the page content blockers can't, so it can do more to detect those techniques and block them.
Yes, that is Jake. This is Surma.

You seem to be right. Gonna fix the CLI (the CLI is my doing)

> Fewer and fewer make a living at it full time. They struggle to make a business out of this. I feel like the art world has a very weird “winner take all” mentality. I kind of wish it was more distributed. I appreciate new revenue models, but I have mixed feeling about this.

I think that's because most people get into art for themselves and not because there's a demand. That means that they have to both create their art and the demand, in a domain that is really competitive because lots of people want to live from their art.
From the documentaries of most devs it seems they usually had some sort of set of studio tools. Then each game was coded from scratch. There was some re-use of code between games. But not really in any sort of lib but more of a 'hey I have a function that does xyz'. Then they would use in place or rewrite to match their internals. Usually if it was the same dev you would see that a lot. But sometimes in a studio you would see some sharing of code. These days it seems most studios buy/download one of the big engines and start from there. They will also re-use an engine from game to game even if it is not what the original engine was built for. The game engines really came to the forefront when you are targeting 4 different platforms and need that abstraction away from each platforms API/hardware. If you are targeting 1 platform it may be just a matter of fill this memory region out correctly and tweak an interrupt and let the hardware do the rest. Not much for an engine to do.
> serverless server?

This isn’t a contradiction. “Server” is an overloaded term and the “server” in “serverless” refers to a different meaning of “server” than the “email server” bit. “Serverless” means there is no physical or virtual hosts to manage, you just supply the request handler i.e., the email server. It's amusing because it sounds like a contradiction, but it's not one.

Its pretty silly, but I always think of the conqueror as Guillaume le Bâtard and the Angevin/Plantagenet monarchs as Henri, Eduourd, Jean, etc when I think of this period of history.

English history has kind of retroactively claimed them as being English, but they were not, and we miss out on all kinds of interesting dynamics of the politics of the period if we think of them as being English.
In terms of speed, how is virt-builder compare to say Terraform?

Terraform is dog slow sometimes due to cloud provisioning. Would be nice to just be able to build the VM locally then push the AMI/VHD into AWS or Azure.
From the Github: "What you will need: An Apple Developer Program account".

That means you can easily be banned for abusing their wallet apis, and they'll probably also take down your other apps on that account.
Monomorphization is not a user action of copy pasting, it's something the compiler does with parametric code. If we're talking about Rust it means when you write:

fn id<T>(t: T) { }

fn main() {
id(String::from("foo"));
id(1_usize);
}

The Rust compiler will generate a method of `id` that works for both String and usize, so there will be two copies of the function with a slight variation in your binary. That process is called monomorphization.

> Which was exactly what I was experimenting with: A single queue worker that can handle different cases. Honestly, it made Rust almost not worth it for me. Sadly, I was too deep to turn back so I wound up doing the whole thing in Rust. I have tons of copy-paste code. It is ugly and it is bothering me.

You can easily use generics, there is no reason to copy paste code like this
Another talk that goes into the design of squoosh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipNW6lJHVEs
Great visual!

So I'll just note a few things:

1) You can clearly see the Great Depression and 2008 in here, so I'm just going to ignore those.

2) The other really nasty period for market returns was during the 70s oil crisis and subsequent high inflation period.

It also notably marks areas "slightly above inflation" as red, which are not periods where loses would occur (though, yes, the gains would be basically flat). This strikes me as an odd choice and a misleading one that makes the historical analysis look worse than it actually is.

Yet despite that, the majority of that chart shows returns moderately above inflation, sitting in at around the 4% safe withdrawal rate.

I personally don't view this as justifying the claim that individual investors need to worry about market timing. If anything it reinforces my view that they shouldn't because no one could apriori predict the kinds of events that led to the red areas of that chart.
I think maybe the ads helped this more, and what helped that is probably some ad library the developer can drop in the application.

What kind of free apps are there ?

1 some open source software that is compatible with iOS store license

2 trials or apps with pay to unlock stuff

3 free with ads

So IMO even if you have 3 stores this will not change. But you could get finally GPL software and apps/games that target adults.
I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. I am personally pro-a larger welfare state- I wanted to specifically engage with one wrong thing you said, that the US somehow spends more on the military than social welfare. In fact, this is a common misconception- the United States spends several multiples more on social welfare than its military. In fact, the US spends about as much just on healthcare for the elderly as it does its entire military budget. This is simply a statement of fact, not meant to be an anti-social welfare political statement from me
I think the legal question should be from the consumer perspective similar to purchased movies: Do I buy an apple device or am I renting it? (note: I'm not trying to answer it) Buying a product suggests to end users a specific set of benefits. If the assumption is far from usual we might have to stop describing the transaction as a purchase. For example: There are no apps for the iphone4 available in the store while they certainly exist. Perhaps its fair to ask: Why is there no support for android apps on iphones?
oh i'm sure the timed lock would help with that
Alternatively just refuse to do leetcode "challenges". As a software engineer leetcode is barely related to what i actually do in my job. Anyone who thinks it is a good way of evaluating candidates is a clown.
> You don't think that it's a a good comparison to compare the only other large scale play store which implements the exact behavior I'm talking about?

Well, I didn't it wasn't good, just that I wasn't sure it's comparable. Google is a software company, and has tons of apps (Youtube, Gmail, Maps, etc.) that are big-time heavy hitters that exist on both their App Store and the Apple one. And given that they own the Play Store and aren't inherently inclined to follow Apple's privacy rules, I think it's hard to draw an exact comparison between the two.

> How would that be anti competitive?

I think people would start to say it discourages users from participating in a free market or something along those lines. But I also don't think the Apple App Store is anti-competitive.

> It is very indicative of the over all policy. It's very clear that the app review process is a tool for stifling competition, and that apple is abusing it

Sorry, I don't have much to say here that's isn't us going back and forth with. I couldn't disagree more and it's unlikely we'll reach any consensus.

> The big argument I see is that the app store provides value, so the 30 percent is justified.

I think that's one argument, but it's not the only one.

> If that's true, let apps side load, and keep the 30 percent fee, and let people side load.

> If it's truly worth the 30 percent, very few apps would switch away from the app store. If it's not worth 30 percent, then we have introduced a mechanism for competition and it's healthier for the whole ecosystem.

You'd have to convince me that, say, tracking users and avoiding Apple's privacy and security rules wouldn't be worth more for app makers. I think they're likely to change, to the detriment of users. So I'll personally oppose any changes here.

TBH I've done a lot of thinking on this topic, I'm pretty passionate about it, and I think I've arrived at a conclusion that is just and fair (in my view) and I'm unlikely to change my opinion in really any way - more likely to double down on it. I want to bring that up just to let you know where I'm coming from here.

Thanks

Brasil solves the problem of land titles with a central land ownership database feed by private local notaries under jurisdiction of the department of justice.

The difficulty is:

Do you express the resulting file size or the amount saved? “30%” could mean you “30% of the original file size” or “you shaved off 30% of the original file size”. You could denote the difference with a sign, like “-30%” but that still confuses people. We ran both options by a lot of our colleagues.

“x% of the original file size” is the least ambiguous, but who has the space to put that entire phrase in their app :-/
Third party apps have been dominant on PCs and Macs on the open web for a decade prior to the iPhone. Third party apps such as FB.Connor even Spotify.com still run on the iPhone built on HTML5. Of course, I will concede that the desktop publishing industry and the banking, finance, spreadsheet industries benefited from native computer apps in the decades prior to that.

Counter to the narrative of Windows phone’s failure, why were BlackBerry and Nokia successful despite not having third party apps at the scale iPhone does?

Third party apps add value to the iPhone — you’re right. They can also add confusion, adware, and bundleware if allowed to reign free; a curated, expensive gatekeeper is the cheap way to keep the crappy third party apps out; not a foolproof way, just a cheap way.

The articles on software engineering are often high quality. The HN comments on such articles are usually better than the articles.

I check https://news.ycombinator.com/classic rather than the front page.

I have noticed that, in the last 6 months or so, more low-quality comments get voted to the first page on HN posts than before. It feels like a new Eternal September. I spend more of my downvotes on distracting reddit-style comments than on incorrect posts. Is my change in downvoting behavior contributing to the decline?

I started doing leetcode when the pandemic hit. I wanted to be ready in case I got fired and I have to do an interview... surprisingly I fell in love with it. I am one of those ppl that writes codes in their head, so I just look at a problem and go on with my day until I have a solution. Then I write it and test it out.

It's enjoyable to me, and I have been forced to learn a lot of CS concepts I had forgotten and techniques I wasn't aware of.

I don't approach it with the drudge of performance, but just as something I do now. Like other things in my life, basketball practice, namely.

I am pretty sure eventually I'll be in a position I can breeze through an interview if I really wanted to, but that's not my goal anymore out of leetcode.
I've been using this software as my daily driver for a very long time because I don't need to worry about it. I know what I'm doing in Linux but I don't want my OS to be my hobby. When work is over, I want to go hiking and do other stuff and this OS stays stable & updated and lets me live my life. Also, it does it without spyware. This can be hard to grok I think from the reputation of the distro but I find it the easiest to use.
I think thanks to Java opting to use "implements" for interfaces, people no longer associate "inheritance" as the thing we do when we write a fully abstract class (i.e. interface) and then "inherit" this abstraction to implement it. Interfaces are, of course, crucial.

Not sure I understood your example about the static class vs. function factory tbh though.

Many people support apple in questioning the business model of Facebook on cross app/site tracking. I think she this is my opinion that apple should not be allowed to put themselves without recourse between businesses and the customers. The customer should always have a choice.
Your point is valid, but 2 things:

> One thing we noticed is that there's an increasing number of startups who start on a PaaS like Heroku and end up migrating to k8s later as their applications “grow out” of Heroku, due to constraints in networking, performance, security, etc.

They seem to be particularly targetting users who are migrating off of Heroku (and are migrating to 'their own' Kubernetes) due to cost, at which point $72/m is likely a tiny drop in the bucket.

Second, I agree with you that the EKS pricing is extremely restrictive for small projects, and especially for projects that require multiple clusters. But that is kind of a gripe at AWS and their Kubernetes offering, rather than Porter. They appear to support other Kubernetes cloud offerings, so just use DigitalOcean's (DOKS) if you don't want to pay for your control plane.
Bitcoin is technically non-fungible because the transaction history of a coin is public information (I imagine if someone got ahold of Satoshi's coins they would be worth more than regular Bitcoins -- even just in terms of sentimental value). But for most practical purposes it is basically fungible.
