While we should be sceptical of any and all "models" of reality, we can't lump them all together.

Macroeconomic models have had spectacular fails but are fundamentally a semi-honest attempt to understand how the economy evolves (Only "semi" because ideology can be quite limiting).

Climate change models have a strong physical component that is neither made-up nor manipulated, but may suffer from not capturing biosphere dynamics all its complexity. Thats why there is uncertainty range around scenarios.

Long term investment decisions are in any case never based on TA. That technique is really a made-up pseudoscience tailored to provide comfort and talking points to the widest possible trading audience.

Or he could have just renamed the company to "X" and left the current Twitter product as "Twitter." All his hypothetical fancy new stuff could get its own branding (or not) but he still gets the X. The "Twitter" branding could be subservient to the company branding.

Like Alphabet, or Meta, or Microsoft, or countless others...

It really seems he just wants to start fresh and kill the Twitter brand immediately regardless of the short term cost. It's a strange play indeed, and it's hard to guess why he wants to disassociate with the brand so strongly.
This is a really cool idea and beautiful UX, congrats on the launch!

One related pain point I have seen many times with surveys is that the people writing them don't know what they're doing and get bad data as a result of biased questions.

Could be cool to add functionality down the line to help people craft better questions. For example, your app could provide alternate ways of phrasing questions and then simulate how results would differ based on the wording.

Excited to see where this goes! Going to share with my partner who works for a survey software company and see what she thinks.

Climate scientists are brigaded regularly, especially online so I'm fine with them keeping a low profile. Historically the bringers of bad news were executed. These days we're a bit better but not all that much.

Uncomfortable truths and all that...

Meanwhile, you should try to respond to the arguments made, not to the man. From behind -ironically - your own anonymity.
Man, what a load of FOMO bollocks. It's a car, not a phone, and EV technology isn't going to change so fast that one needs to flip cars every three years. (If that is, indeed, the case then we can quit touting EVs as something to reduce carbon emissions if we're encouraging the purchase of a new car every three years.) And what technological leaps are EVs going to make vs. an ICE? Longer range? Our Hyundai already goes as far on a charge than our 2005 Scion xB gasser. More electronic fiddly bits? Don't care; perhaps you do.

Repair costs? We had an OG (as in, we pre-ordered the first day we could in 2010) Nissan Leaf, and we didn't do shit to it. We bought tires once because the stocks ones suck. Threw wipers and a cabin air filter at it once in a while. If your electric car needs a lot of repairs, you bought a lemon.

You’ll enjoy peace of mind. It’s difficult to predict now how much an EV purchased today will be worth in two, three, or five years...

It's not difficult to predict: your car will be worth a fuckton less than it was when you bought it, it's just a matter of degrees. I realize resale value can be a factor, but resale value is mainly a concern of those that...drum roll please...flip cars every few years. And if you want to save the planet, quit flippin' cars.

That said, CR isn't completely wrong. The only way you're getting $7500 off a Hyundai is to take the lease rebate. We did that, and then paid it off at the first opportunity. And that is what makes leasing an EV a better deal. I'm not sure what motivated CR to print the rest of it.

And where would those millions come from? Make the browser paid? It could work if it's really that good, and it'd likely be targeted at Apple users who won't mind paying. Seems risky though, eventually if you're too popular, Google will just copy some superficial stuff you're doing and people will forget about you.

I am sure you are right about Philadelphia, but I don't think the same situation applies in Chicago. I think you are bit salty because they are wasting valuable waterfront land. You are right to be angry about it! 80% of Chicago's waterfront is public parkland; in 30 years don't be surprised if it's 90+%.

The neighborhood in question, needs investment and it needs infill. Taking 5-10 square blocks off the table helps concentrate the investment and infill, and will accelerate the improvements. Or at least that's how I see it :)
If it were that easy - sadly everything that's in any way related to the way we communicate and we relate to the world. Just look at the kerfuffle about skin tones... Everything is political if you are looking for a reason to fight.

Language is a very sensitive topic - in Central Asian countries, using Latin, Cyrillic or Perso-Arabic script for instance has very strong political connotations, same in the Balkans. The world is just like that
Dorsey Wright was acquired by the NASDAQ for over $200m in 2015. [1] They made a business of selling asset allocation and sector rotation model portfolios, mainly using RSI (Relative Strength Index). They are probably a bigger business now than when they were bought.

So the question of whether technical analysis makes money: Yes, for the right people it does.

As a long time trader and markets practitioner, I can also tell you that YMMV with technical indicators. Because many people use them, they are self-fulfilling in a way. The signal exists because people think there is a signal.

Another way to think about it, is technical indicators can be generalized to other well known price-based or volume-based indicators or factors such as momentum, reversion, etc... Understanding how volume interplays with price is also quite important. Big price moves with little volume may not have support. Technical indicators aren't bad. For "visual thinkers" it may be a great way to segway into a more "closed-form" solution or explanation of how a particular market works.

Also, to the folks who are poo-poohing the "simplistic" blog post: yes, the analogy to astrology is a bit contrived. But the point on using SMA for better risk-adjusted returns is excellent. This would be a great foundation for building a higher-Sharpe S&P-like replication strategy.

When I was young I worked at a company that said things like "we are family" and kind of meant it.

It wasn't really a good thing unless you were a low performer. We had some people who were hired into jobs they couldn't do well, but they got to keep those jobs because it was like their role in the family. People basically never got fired, including the couple guys in the corner who barely did any work but had been there forever.

When money was tight, they didn't do layoffs. They just cut everyone's compensation by the same percentages. Including those people who didn't do much work, because we can't fire family.

Modern companies avoid this phrase because it has become so toxic that nobody wants to be associated with it. It's a holdover from old school management who speak in boilerplate platitudes like "fast paced environment" that don't mean anything.
I don't like the normal mechanical keeb market, because they're loud.

The problem with human intelligence is saying 'if a human can do it, it is intelligence' doesn't break down the problem space correctly. It also leaves potential gaps where a system could have a form of intelligence humans do not leading to humans misjudging that systems capabilities abd that could lead to disaster (common AI risk scenario).

You won me over by summarizing listicles to a short list :-)

To be honest I think your pricing is to high. $25 for unlimited queries might be fine for somebody who needs a good search to work and earn appropriately.

But as a (former) PhD student I ran through the 100 free queries in 2 or 3 days and just would not have been able to afford 25€.

I would gladly pay 10€ (for unlimited searches) or 15€ (for a unlimited family option). But to me, 25€ just seems to high. That's 5 meals at my workplaces cantina right now (Germany, NRW).

(I assume you are aware of pricing issues as pricing options have changed at least once while kagi is on my radar)

> Any thoughts on Netflix's degradation over time?

Netflix both got better and worse at the same time.

With wider audiences and more content, there is both more content for you in absolute terms, and less in proportion to the total amount. So while there's more stuff you will like to see, it gets drowned out.

https://thecorrespondent.com/104/the-great-paradox-of-our-ti...
Not to be a downer but this is not the first time there are rather unqualified opinions from this blog presented as factual/scientific writing. The starting point is a theory looking for evidence. This is the wrong way around.
> They have access to vast amounts of resources, but family members don't have free access, far from it.

Well they're called "trust fund babies" for a reason. But the trust fund doesn't mean free money is flowing endlessly: it is set up so that they cannot blow it all up in a few years.
And Signal. Does anyone know what their stance on the matter is?
I wouldn't put it in the same category as book burning, but if the law had passed it would certainly have resulted in censorship.

> Although the content the EARN IT Act seeks to regulate is abhorrent and the government’s interest in stopping the creation and distribution of that content is compelling, the First Amendment still requires that the law be narrowly tailored to address those weighty concerns. Yet, given the bill’s broad scope, it will inevitably force online platforms to censor the constitutionally protected speech of their users. (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/earn-it-act-violates-c...)

The Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act of 2020 (EARN IT Act) amends an existing federal law to force online platforms into changing how they moderate content online by scanning and censoring more of their users’ communications. (https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/the-earn-it-act-is-a-d...)

If it’s hard for a provider to tell what’s unlawful, but it’ll face legal liability if it gets it wrong, then the obvious incentive is for the provider to avoid the danger zone and censor lots of lawful content along with the unlawful content, just in case. This is exactly why Section 230 immunity is so important, because without it, platforms would constantly censor a lot of legal speech by their American users – maybe your speech – as a byproduct of trying to censor illegal speech, for fear that if they didn’t cast a wide net, some illegal speech would slip through and they’d get sued for it. (https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2020/03/earn-it-act-uncon...)
The thread is a comparison between the US and Europe. You are the one pushing an extreme anecdote - your own personal experience, valid in one US state -, when in reality we know for a fact that on average you can expect much better benefits in Europe, regardless of your employer.

There is a price for that, of course, but to try to claim that the US is better in this particular area is a weak argument. When you use a personal anecdote, it becomes ridiculous.
Probably not. The Texas A&M chancellor is elected by the board of regents, selected by the Governor of Texas. This is true for many (all?) state systems (eg. the board of governors, appointed by the state politicians, picks the UNC head chancellor). So, that position is always under political pressure. This is not true at privates.
> but then it still connects to Google services via microG.

So you actually do agree that /e/OS changes the connectivity check, don't you?

> Your comment was recommending an operating system

Not at all. My comment was mentioning that at least some custom ROMs I know do remove the connectivity check, which is the topic of that post ("Changing the Android captive portal page").

In that particular post, I did not recommend /e/OS, I just stated a fact. But if it's about recommendation, I would recommend against DivestOS, because the author is really toxic. That may be harmful to users, too.
A great culture is really hard to reproduce because it depends on the ability of the CEO. The CEO needs to properly evaluate the performance of his team, and reward or punish them fairly to demonstrate the culture. In the meantime, the CEO needs to find the likeminded people to uphold the culture. In the end, culture is not a plaque on the wall but how the company rewards and punishes employees at every level.

A simple example. Netflix promotes Freedom and Responsibility. Their engineers seemingly had freedom to choose their own systems to build with their own designs at their own pace. The company's guideline to their managers used to be "All that a manager does is to set context". But really? How can the leaders avoid catastrophic failures? How can the leaders keep their orgs' schedules and promises? How can the leaders draw the line between empowering and micro-management in such environment? It's not there is a runbook. And things do fail and sometimes someone do take the fall. Then who? How much? How do the leaders do it to avoid sink the culture?
If he was so depressed even brushing his teeth in the morning was an insurmountable task -- that is, clinically depressed -- I think your "learn to force yourself to work" suggestion is seriously misguided.

Like someone else mentioned, if he had been hit by a car you wouldn't be suggesting he force himself to do anything. Clinical depression is your brain being hit by a car. If he had been hit by a car, who cares about whether his coworkers found their work harder as a consequence?

> Do you have any explanation for why you think there's a cost reduction

do you have any explanation for the fact that they're NOT "adding a new line built to HSR standards?" Possibly not even in the initial Merced-Bakersfield route, as I laid out in my article.

or that there is no published plan for doing it, or a credible budget? Particularly in heavily populated areas like LA and SF.

Or that going through the central Valley makes a mockery of the "two and a half hour" claim that sold the plan in the first place?
So what we are supposed to shut up and move on ?

Not criticize that :

- "won´t ever sell your data" is an empty promise

- "We never sell your data, and we’ll only share it in the following circumstances: With our Service Providers" O yeah they don't sell just share ... (with a list of what a Service provider may be but not what it may not be).

- "Why do we collect personal data? Protect against fraud" strange would have not listed that first.

And no amount of using it will change anything for those points.
This is literally the definition of a first amendment issue, in my eyes. Should the president be able to ban anyone who works for any company that has any government contracts from making any critical statements about his administration? This isn’t some intern in the office of the politician she (seemingly lightly) criticized, this is a tenured professor.

Besides, IMO tenured professors are the very front line of free speech, perhaps right behind journalists - for the system to function at all (/continue limping along), tenured professors should NEVER be afraid of criticizing the government. At all. In any way.

SQL does not need to be replaced, in the same way that COBOl never needed to be replaced. It can get the job done, but we have superior tools today. Better abstractions enable more productivity.

That there are N flavors of SQL is annoying, but there are foundational design choices in the language which we are stuck with today. PRQL is quite readable to those with SQL experience and feels like a plausible next language in the space without reinventing paradigms.
