>threat of a lawsuit is at best hypothetical

Every lawsuit threat, including "I'm suing your ass next Tuesday", is hypothetical.

It takes being used to communication that randomly quotes the law, or extreme lack of social skills to not consider randomly quoting the law a threat. Individuals don't often randomly quote the law for the funsies.

We could, of course, argue all day whether they should have just immediately dismissed it as junk email, but coming from what looks like junk email just lowers the expected threat.

Very Well said!

It is really unfortunate that people nowadays don't read the literature/classics (or books for the most part) unless and until they see/hear a movie (mostly bad) made from it. Nothing forces you to engage your imagination like a well written book. There are more insights and life advice buried in the "classic novels" than in shelves full of "Self Help" books most of which have only a single theme/idea fluffed up into hundreds of (useless) pages.
Nope. I refuse. It has stopped asking me as of late, though.

since you say you are a HFM, let me pick your brains a bit :)

1. how do you decide when to move in/out of a position?
2. how long does it take to open up or close a position once you want to do it?
3. do you have internal processes for approvals? or what is the flow form idea to execution when it comes to positions(open/close)?
4. when you sell for tax loss purposes, how soon are you re-opening the position? will you do it asap or will you maybe wait and see where the market is going?
5. what news sources do you prefer to read for getting ideas for new positions?
6. do you look for new opportunities by screening stocks often or do you do it once in a while and wait for the right time?
7. how and why do you use shorting(if)?

Cheers.
> Predicting the exact moment when a bubble will burst is never easy. Grantham, for example, predicted the 2000 crisis well in advance, but it took almost three years for it to happen.

You'll always have the people standing on top of the soap box predicting the end of the world. They're not wrong. The end of the world will come one day. Its just close to impossible to figure out when.

As the economist Keynes would say, “The stock market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

Also, considering 2 things: first, timing the market perfectly is near impossible. second, market moves from the bottom left to the top-right of the graph over a very long term. If you are a long term investor, the safest, smartest, best thing you can do is to do nothing.

The analogy here is that we knew enough about forest fires to stop them from happening in a way that later on causes much worse catastrophic wildfires. The recent Californian and Australian wildfires were both worsened by previously putting out any and all fires and not letting burn-off of risk (brush/fuel) happen at a manageable scale.

I don't know anything about the stock market, mind. But I get their analogy.

Having a healthy relationship with video-games, while not prioritising it over everything else in life (except on some occasions ;)) seems like a really good end state. As for myself, I will only start playing again when I get a trusty accountability partner who would make sure that my relationship with gaming stays healthy :)
It is of course possible that web3 is a world-changing idea and most people are unable to envision the amazing and revolutionary impact it will have in the future. But criticism doesn't mean anything on its own. Those examples you listed — iPhone, Google, Facebook, etc — there were countless failures for each of those successes. You're relying on survivorship bias. Just because a new technology faces initial criticism, that doesn't mean it's guaranteed to succeed because some successful products also faced initial criticism.
The theory that vaccinated people are less careful with socialization and pay less attention to symptoms is the exact same argument being made about masks. This makes agreeing or disagreeing with the theory a bit socially complex.

If we agree that protections like vaccinations and masks do effect people to behave more risky, then the benefit of masks need to be balanced towards that negative effect.

If we disagree that protections like vaccinations and masks do effect people to behave more risky, then the benefit of vaccinations need to be questioned.

Either way we are questioning the effectiveness of masks and vaccinations, two topics which is quite controversial to question.
One of the main reasons I dislike Dawkins is his arrogance seeps through the pages like wet ink.

I think his filler is his attempt to make up for the poor arguments he’s making and as part of an arrogant “look how smart I am. My book is big”. Philosophers can make similar points in much less space.

Exactly. Managers and execs love pointing out the cost savings they made this year or this quarter. By the time the chicks start to hatch "in the long run", they most likely would have already moved to another enterprise so someone else has to clean up their mess. And by clean up, I mean repeat exactly the same mistakes since nobody promotes you for implementing stuff that might show its benefits in the long run.

I've managed to find a cheap 2-port DP KVM that pretends it's able to do DP 1.4 / 8k @ 60 Hz. I can only confirm it works well at 4k@60 Hz, since that's the best my screen can do.

One pro is that it's able to get power from any of the USB inputs, so no extra cable!

One con is that for some reason it only does USB 2...

Real Total return (inflation adjusted, dividends included) of SP500 has been negative in two decades. 1970s and 2000s.

The original claim is 10-20 years. That's a valid ballpark estimate. There can be lost decades, but when you get closer to 20 years, it has been all good.

ps. If you spread the entry into market into 5-10 years there has never been a decade of zero or negative returns (total, inflation adjusted).

Oh man, I wish they would stop showing the popup every time I exit a chat. When did it stop?
basically when you get addicted to video-games, you prioritise it over everything else in your life - eg. you start skipping meetings, both at work and hanging out with friends, skip spending time with your loved ones and even skip taking care of your own health (gym/sports/..)
This is about a medical intervention, not about a scientific study. Vaccine adverse events are usually evaluated by comparing with background rates from previous studies. Control groups are used in randomized control trials and are probably mostly worthless without randomization.

The First Message to Humanity
Although there is now Premium LITE for 7 eur (which I finally subscribed to), listening to music mixes on YT is now atrocious.

You just can’t listen to a music mix anymore on YT. They play "ads" except the ads are complete music videos that run for 2-5 mins easily. It’s so dumb. Whatever happened to "soandso new album out now!". You don’t get an excerpt, you get an entire track of some random band, often times quite different genre that the mix you wanted to listen to.

It’s so fucking bad, it’s literally like YT says "hey you want to listen to ABC, why dontcha listen to XYZ instead".

I wouldn’t mind a short ad for some random album or artist when I listen to music, but now YT as made it almost impossible to listen to a good mix, when you get some OTHER music that starts every 5-7 mins, and runs for 2-3mins average…

EDIT : forgot to mention on one music mix (just progressive house dj mix), I’d keep getting an "ad" which is some electricity mini doc in Turkish that runs for 25+ mins. WTF !?

Youtube is actually making people want to skip and block ads because their "ad" program is atrocious for users.

Thankfully they do have a Premium LITE now but it’s still a bit expensive imho it should be just 5 eur.

And wtf I had to Google to find it. Within the apss I was never told that it was available, and clicking through the premium engagement was always showing me the 16+ EUR sub with Google Music etc.

But anyway even saying all that I still want to save videos that are invaluable to me, and just disappear randomly or turn "private" after few months/years.

What is the point of making a playlist when they show you unavailable items as the months go by?

AND, also you have sometimes vdeos that get edited. Like there was a really nice cafe ambiance and because some losers complained about being in the video, the uploader replaced it with a audio-only version.

So tldr when you see a video you REALLY like, you should DL it asap. You never know when it gets deleted.

They won't stop spread, that much is true. Vaccine passes are not a device for stopping the virus. They are devices for allowing venues to do business by reducing harmful effects to a point that's considered acceptable. The "pressuring of individuals" is a side effect that many consider positive, but not the reason why they exist.

> Also it’s a little disingenuous to encourage looking at a contextless single data point indicating a collapse of a product without understanding other factors like there being a bear market in place for the overall cryptocurrency landscape

NFTs are 100% a scam, and the use-cases you've described sounds like financial cosplay.
Why would that be a good thing?

The environment is a chaotic dynamic system. There are massive non-linearities, phase shifts, etc, and yes, massive damping feedback loops as well. Don't forget the 2nd order, 3rd order, and 4th order effects.

You could build an economic system which did not have periodic crashes, it just would have to be very limited in scope (by keeping it in a highly controlled and isolated environment) and would thus only have one crash, when the containing vehicle breaks apart.

A one-off is not periodic.
Whoah, I'm shocked by seeing Julia perform well. The compile times back in the day were abysmal. I mean even for very, very simple projects you had to wait for dozens of seconds. It looks like they made an enormous progress there.

After being worried about having fragile phones, i simply opted to go for function over form. This is my current phone, Ulefone Armor X7 Pro: https://www.gsmarena.com/ulefone_armor_x7_pro-10293.php

While there are more sophisticated models in this space, for something of a budget oriented phone (which i'll probably use until the battery degrades, seeing as unfortunately it doesn't have a removable one), it's both usable and feels rugged enough.

No longer do i have to worry much about things like dust/sand or even splashes of water and such. It actually fell once from about 1.5 meters out of my pocket and on stone bricks, while i was doing pull ups. I'm sure that the situation would have been worse if it had landed screen down, but even after landing on its corner, there was no visible damage afterwards.

Plus, after using it for a while, i've found that the larger form factor doesn't bother me in the slightest, so i'm not exactly sure why modern phones are so obsessed with being thing. Then again, i also enjoy the form factor of ThinkPads, while there are people out there who call them ugly and too bulky.
>The US market from 1966-1992 total inflation adjusted return (26 years) was zero.

This was during a period when high dividend stocks were in fashion. I'm willing to bet that during that period stocks probably beat almost every other form of investment with regards to profits.
From what I understand, that case wasn't necessarily baseless, but they drew media attention to it by publishing the letters. Arkell withdrew his claims following _that_.

For most people, if you pull them into the spot light, you will quickly shut them up. That does not make their legal threats baseless.
I don't want to have to learn an entirely new vocabulary for every new utility that comes out.

>biological fact humans have two sexes

The amount of biological sexes aren’t even close to two. There’s XXY… XYY… XXX… Nor is anybody arguing about “sexes” really the argument revolves around gender rather than biological sex.

There is also a line of argument that transgender people are neurologically intersex (woman’s brain in a man’s body or something), with brains and showing differences in trans populations compared to cis populations being used as an evidentiary basis for this argument. As such, treating these intersex people with gendered treatment that is at odds with the biological reality of their minds would cause them much duress. This isn’t by any means a universally accepted line of argument but it’s certainly one I’ve heard.

It still doesn't negate my point.

You need to rely on other people's code. Whether it std lib or not. Left pad is because of:

A) ease of modularization

B) problems with tree shaking

C) people want small easily understandable library

Which tbh works more often than not.

Stable ABI is a curse as much as blessing. Once you have stable ABI, you will never want to break it. Even if breaking ABI would be beneficial long term. See

You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder and you come off as a spoiled child. Just as the anti-Trump crowd doesn't like Trump's personality, you reject Pike for his arrogance.

He's done great things. Think about the caliber of people that man worked with every day. And then he goes to Google and sees thousands of 'ordinary' people slinging C++ and doing web work. We become products of our environment. There's a lot of gap between him and you. And that's ok. You'll go on to do another 10 years at another big tech company and live a good life.

I'm way below your caliber and I see some arrogance in your words. I think both of you are arrogant because you unconciously became a product of the environment. I'm just a nobody that fails 9/10 interviews, including Google 2 months ago. It takes luck for me to get hired anywhere and I find it hard to relate to the middle class people I work with because I've been so poor. But I bet you I come off as arrogant to tradesmen, cashiers, janitors, and many others. Just let it go.
In a place where people will want to buy houses for the next 30 years, at an inflation-adjusted price which preserves the value of your investment,

and assumes you've already bought the house or can do so in the near future while mortgage rates remain low, while the struggle is that the cost to get into the market is rising at crazy multiples (30% yoy?)

and assuming enough economic stability that you can be sure to make the payment even if your job moves.
So it is statistically less robust and more volatile to invest disproportionately more in companies that earn more money?

What scale would you recommend using to decide proportionality of one’s investments? The arbitrary number of publicly listed companies? Divvy up between 500 or 3,000? An arbitrary blend of net income and number of publicly listed US companies?

My point is if 6 companies are each growing their profits for 10+years in amounts equal to or greater than profits of entire other industries, you might want to weight it a bit higher.

The $$$$ is mostly from the lives saved.

P.S.: I'm not asking this for myself. I just want to know if people are willing to do this for others.

Sun went bankrupt for more than just Java, it was a complete mismanagement of everything, and they only opened up Java on the last days, until Java 6 it was pretty much only a free beer thing, no source to play around.

Additionally Java has been a major success to those that played into the ecosystem, people keep forgetting there were several (some are still around) commercial implementations of Java with features not available on the free beer JDK like AOT compilation.

The way Sun managed Solaris and SPARC hardware had more impact on their wallet than Java.
