I think Mozilla's structure of having a for-profit owned by a nonprofit has a lot of potential. The problem is that the products they are trying to make money from are also the primary vehicles for accomplishing their nonprofit mission.

A better example is Newman's Own. Their mission is not to make the world's best tomato sauce. That is just how it makes money.

Mozilla needs to find its tomato sauce. Then Firefox and MDN can become the recipient of funds, not the source.
Have you looked into a password manager? I use 1Password for managing all my logins including 2FA on them. I open a login page, 1Password automatically puts a dropdown on the input for me to select an account, I click one, it fills it in, I click login, get 2FA page, and the code is already filled in.
You may want to check it the 1Password. Although not free, it provides 2FA integration on both browser and phones.

On the other hand... it may not be the brightest idea to have both password manager AND 2FA in the same baseket, but it may be a good compromise for a lesser secure-demanding services (i.e. those that, if breached, won't affect you in any way other than internet points; think forums, reddit and such).
I can only say this is no issue for me. I'm currently using colemak dh on a dactyl manuform like keyboard and switch to using a macbook keyboard constantly because I use 2 devices. and even with the different layouts it doesn't make a difference for me. I think these bigger changes are easier to get used to than just smaller ones where for example the shift key is just a little longer that stuff always throws me off
I've learned to relax about Social Security. I look at it as "diversification" of my retirement sources. I don't want all my eggs in the 401K basket either.
It wasn’t just a horse bet by my reading of the article. It was more like they noticed that there was an opportunity to hobble a horse if you and your buddies rush the field and that the odds makers were not anticipating this so you bet otherwise.

You can marvel at the technical ingenuity of a heist like this but the ethics are dubious. The strongest counter is that the Bank of England wasn’t paying attention but that’s mildly victim claiming just like it would be if a company fell prey to a novel 0-day software exploit.

I hosted a WP blog for years. It hit the front page of Reddit multiple times and #1 once and it never cost more than $10/month. These days, the same blog could easily run on a $5/month VPS. You could also host a WP blog for free, using their hosted service.

Even as a non-programmer back then, I didn't find the complexity bad at all. It was certainly a lot less than what's involved with the OP's setup.
Much (but not all) of US economic activity occurs at publicly traded US corporations. Even tax revenues are reasonably well correlated to their success. A major exception is real estate, but if you own a home, then you are implicitly basing part of your retirement on that ownership already.

So what else would you base a retirement based upon? Empty promises from politicians whose have no incentive to deliver on them because their term ends long before these promises are fulfilled? We have that in the public sector already, that's why there's dozens of pension crises looming, from Sacramento to Boston and half the states in between. We also have that to a limited extent with Social Security, which is likewise heading for a major shortfall. And nobody really actually likes Social Security — I mean, they may be in favor of it existing, but everyone who can afford it has a private pension with a lot of holdings in the stock market, to supplement Social Security, and cover its shortcomings, and no one would trade that for more Social Security, because it would mean they end up with a lot less in the end.

I'm starting a kitchen upgrade, and the number of "connected" kitchen appliances is astonishing. I don't need my faucet to have Alexa, I don't want to read news on my refrigerator, and I don't want an app for my oven. I'm not aware of any companies keeping servers running for a product that matches the life expectancy of a kitchen appliance, nor do I want an AWS outage to keep me from making nachos.

I don't know whether this is the "correct" explanation, but I think it's plausible -

In a medieval setting, commoners visiting a court might believe courtiers dressed in fancy clothes and speaking in Latin were doing magic and performing spells. They might have no idea how things like law and government works. If those kinds of magic worked, why wouldn't magic on mountains or trees work? Especially if you were taught by wise people from the church that invisible spirits definitely existed.

Interesting. In Canada you can only get up to 5 years fixed typically. Mortgage itself is 25 years but terms change every 5 usually. 30y fixed feels... Crazy. How much above market does it have to be for banks to take that risk??
I agree with the article. Either you working for yourself or working as employee, it is important to have a rhythm. It is for both mental and physical preparation. For me, I turned all my commute time into exercise, waking up 3 hours earlier, not waking up later than usual when not working and shortene my working hour. It felt so good

In his last published interview even Graham himself said you probably shouldn't bother with Graham (and Dodd):

>> In selecting the common stock portfolio, do you advise careful study of and selectivity among different issues?

> In general, no. I am no longer an advocate of elaborate techniques of security analysis in order to find superior value opportunities. This was a rewarding activity, say, 40 years ago, when our textbook "Graham and Dodd" was first published; but the situation has changed a great deal since then. In the old days any well-trained security analyst could do a good professional job of selecting undervalued issues through detailed studies; but in the light of the enormous amount of research now being carried on, I doubt whether in most cases such extensive efforts will generate sufficiently superior selections to justify their cost. To that very limited extent I'm on the side of the "efficient market" school of thought now generally accepted by the professors.

The myth is about Soros, but it was a network of largely U.S. investment banks that co-ordinated and piled on to raid the BoE. Consider that the GameStonks craze where people just really, really liked the stock got threatened with charges of market manipulation, almost took out Robinhood, with contagion exposure to Citadel with system wide risk, and caused back door intervention by Fed authorities and even the Whitehouse - Soros' payday is evidence for Balzac's adage that behind every great fortune lies a great crime. I have no doubt what he did would be absolutely criminal today.

He went on to create the Open Society Foundations, which supported and co-ordinated aspects of the (then) progressive anti-globalization movement of the 90s I was involved in. At the time the movement was mostly anti-capitalist, uniting labor and civil society against (neo-liberal) trade agreements designed to exploit the poverty and authoritarianism of other countries and to hollow out western economies by exporting manufacturing jobs, and against exploitative policies by the IMF, who used loans to indebt and subordinate elected governments and force privatization and sale of their infrastructure to transnational corps and roll back environmental protection. (see, confessions of an economic hitman, nologo, etc.) Ostensibly noble causes.

It almost seemed like a billionaire's noblesse oblige. Soros was the "good capitalist." The movements themselves failed after 9/11, and Occupy was a whimper in comparison to the battles of Seattle, Quebec City, Turin, and others. The US rust belt was exported destroyed in the 90's and 2000s, laying the ground for the populist revolt that created 2015 election result. However, his OSF foundations and network of NGOs flourished, installing progressive activists from the era in colleges and political parties, and other key institutions.

Trouble is, these weren't working class labor organizers and anarcho-anti-capitalists, they were technocrats, equipped with an ideology whose specific endgame is central economic co-ordination, and it was nominally anti-capitalist in the sense that it is against the individualistic cultural aspects of smallholders and the autonomy and values small business provides, and that it uses critical theory as a tool to dissolve the bonds of societies. This is the kernel of truth beneath the layers of hallucinatory conspiracy theory.

To me, Soros is just a visionary criminal who learned about totalitarianism from the inside during his youth, and has funded his own vision of that technocratic system. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's just what any billionaire criminal with a will to power seeking to build a empire would do, and imo, he has.

> Because Burry et al helped collapse it sooner and softer

Could you not make the same argument for Soros?

> their profits came from the banks’ losses.

Where do you think that money came from?

When mortgages go bad, the banks foreclose the property and sell it.

When the banks go bad, the government props them up (in 2008) by buying their toxic assets

The sale of those toxic assets let banks cover their bad positions, including those with Burry

Burrys profit came from foreclosures and the American government (in the narrative sense that Soros’ money came from the people of England)

Which again begs the question of why Soros is the villain and not also Burry

Ask HN: Any good SDE experiences at Amazon?
I’m considering and offer from Amazon and the primary reason is that is a pretty significant compensation bump from my previous one.

Searching around, even here the sentiment is that being an SDE at Amazon it’s pretty terrible, that SDMs are incompetent, etc.

There’s also the comment that it all depends on the team you end up, which does little to help clarify and properly weight the offer.

I also think that negative experiences are louder than good ones so I was wondering if there are Amazon SDEs here that have enjoyed their time at Amazon?

That depends of the index. The DAX, for example, has two versions: The performance index, which is usually quoted, includes dividends, the price index does not.
Actively managed funds with low costs and a value investment style, can be a good alternative to picking stocks.

It can be a good idea to identify actively managed funds that have performed better than the market in the past (ie. they have got alpha). Which investment style the fund has used, can be identified using number crunching (using fama french factor analysis). For example Warren Buffet uses a mixture of value and quality investement style.

Because stocks are just the right to a stream of earnings

Yes. And money is just the right to bid on the stream of things the industy produces.

If companies produce less, money should also be worth less. As your money is your share of bidding power on those fewer things.

The price of a stock is the ratio of the value of a company and the value of money. And should therefore stay the same if the industy overall produces less stuff.

can you please add Humidity (RH) as well please?
Yeah, if not for this there's a good chance the UK would be part of the Euro and much more closely tied to the EU. I doubt this would've worked out well overall for the country though; there were other European countries which had similar issues maintaining their exchange rate and the underlying economic mismatches continued to cause economic crises once they joined the Euro.
> ...when you don't change phones often, you should exactly NOT be drowning in chargers.

Right, and the way to achieve that is to sell the charger separately. Just with 3 phones each x 2 people over 11 years (replacing phones every 4 years-ish) and that's already 6 chargers. Throw in a single iPad and a work phone and I'm up to 8. Add in one third-party charger with two ports and a power strip with a built-in charger, and now we're up to 10.

I don't know how often "often" is but I don't feel like getting a new phone after 4 years is much of a hurry.
No, I'm not. This gets into a bigger debate by economists on how to value self labor. And like I said in the post, labor is minimized.
I think there is a significant business opportunity, not just for mapping the "org chart" but for making sense of the more complex social structures and communities of practice that live in the "white space." Niels Pflaeging in "Organize for Complexity" suggests there are at leas three overlapping networks active:

Formal Reporting Hierarchy: manages formal budget and compliance with laws and regulations. -> Org Chart

Informal Networks: hold social capital and operate in the “white space.” -> Community of Practice Maps / Networks

Expertise Networks: hold intellectual capital and procedural knowledge that enables value creation. -> Value Stream Maps

Money is not a delusion, it’s a data structure. The distribution of money is the state of a market. A market is a protocol for multi agent coordination. It’s effective because it minimizes the amount of information-exchange required to participate.

All terms referring to ideas are made up. We made them up; the animals sure didn't. Your technical point falls on its face there.

Hate speech for sure is a real thing. Is calling someone the N-word hate speech? Not always. Context matters - there are some corner cases where it is clearly not.

But mostly, calling someone the N-word or other racial slut is a hateful act.

This word has such a long and nasty history that it is extremely clear its meaning. There are very few corner cases e.g. Hate Speech exists.

Your complaint is less that it doesn't exist, and more that mods are seemingly expanding the meaning by making judgment calls on the intent of speech.

Using another example to try and explain it, if someone said, "Why are the Inuit so lazy! They just don't want to work." (Something I cannot imagine anyone saying, btw) Well. That is a negative and purjorative generalization of a racial/social group, and whatever -ist label you want to put on it, that too is hate speech. If you walk it back a bit and get a little more wordy with the language, where it may not be as explicit making that generalization, a mod may or may not decide to ding you for it. It then depends on their reading of your intent.

Some mods get it right (I would say most), but some get it wrong, and there are a few who use TOS to enforce their own biases. That hardly negates the existence of Hate Speech.

Forum moderation is hard, as I said in a previous post. You will not always agree with the mods. And indeed the mods do not always get it right, and sometimes there are bad mods. The key is to try to first understand the TOS and second mind the social norms of that forum (just like you would at work or at church).

Above all, the same basic rule applies in online forums as it does in work or church: Just try not to be a dick.
