I was thinking of EME, specifically, when I wrote that.

But, also, bringing money in is proxy enough for being able to do "good" for whatever definition we'd like to use. So, money or users, I think my general point about compromising their ideals for pragmatism is still valid (not necessarily true or correct, but it's an argument that can potentially be made).
Author is playing a trick.

By allowing the money to be in the market only 1/2 the time, it will not do as well. This is common sense to anyone who understands even the most basic thing about markets.
I don't, however I do like the word "craptacular" as a descriptive term. :)
I see "How to complain about Go" (2015) [1] needs an update.

The reason is that no one was in a position to exploit the EV credit system because it didn't exist yet. Right place, right time, only made possible by having a bunch of money and zero qualms about exploiting that program.
The Crisis over American Manhood Is Code for Something Else
Okay, but in that case "avoiding abuse" is no longer a problem for humans to solve, which is probably good in that it frees up time to try to figure out what to do when the paperclip maximizer no longer demurs from numbering hemoglobin molecules among its accessible resources.
Technical analysis is based on statistics the same way astrology is: that is to say, it incorporates some of the jargon and features shallow, surface-level incorporation and features. TA is worse because it affects more people.
This is interesting. I think though that the first option eventually leaks though, and that (unfortunately) you will have to spend time debugging things, sometimes at great cost for really sophisticated abstractions. The tradeoff, and the tipping point are clearly not obvious though!
I think it's pretty cool that there's more alignment here between what many people wanted and what's available. I think especially for places with long commutes this is a huge efficiency. Personally, I live a short bike ride in SF from work and we're all in-office and I prefer that.

And it's really helped with democratization, too. With Turing and Deel and so on, you can hire internationally once you're ready to work with remote folk. It has been interesting to me that I've heard more about Eastern Europe, Africa, and India for this rather than South America.

South America has a massive timezone advantage, but why so few remote workers from there?
> Let's not even get into the details of your "100% free medical".

My 100% free medical is enshrined by the law in my state, which sets the eligibility guidelines for medicaid. Please stop parroting misinformation and discouraging people from using the available welfare programs. So many people I've spoken with thought I was crazy for applying to medicaid and didn't do so themselves because they thought they wouldn't be eligible, but they would have been.
The article there looks at ONE use of technical analysis which is a moving average crossover. The nicest houses I know are owned by traders who know how to use technical analysis. it is very interesting that such an uniformed opinion is the top rated comment on YC tho.
Look at it this way. The link to the article appeared on HN 15:59:54. braaannigan's comment appeared on 17:07:56. Thus, it took this HN user not more than 60 minutes to conclude that this article is of low quality and should not have been published in Nature. Nature's editors, the article's authors, and its peer reviewers disagree. braaannigan is anonymous and do not put their reputation on the line. Nature's editors and the article's authors do. If appeal to authority is a valid argument then I believe one side wins this debate in a landslide.
> The assumption of technical analysis is that those with the deeper pockets move the market in certain ways and patterns and it's the job of the short-term speculator to anticipate those ways.

if this were the case, it seems likely that others with deeper pockets than you, perhaps other high frequency traders, would rapidly exhaust those profit opportunities
No, since there is no coupling between the turn indicators (finding coupling conditions under which synchronization does(n't) occur is what this research area is about).
Absolute proof? No, but it's a reasonable and logical conclusion.
> American labor laws make it easier to fire which allows employers to take more risk in hiring.

You can have your cake and eat it too. It's called the Danish model, although Denmark itself has an imperfect implementation of the model.

In the Danish model, it's easy to fire people, but the social safety net ensures that the employee doesn't get screwed if it happens. They don't lose their health insurance, EI is generous enough that it has minimal impact on their lifestyle, etc.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Gran Turismo with a sim racing setup (actual wheel, pedals and seats) in VR is astounding. Probably my favorite setup.
I don't know if you have followed the numbers, but Steam is a massacre right now.

So many low quality Unity/Unreal copies that ruins peoples lives making them indebted because they think they will make it as indie by just pasting new content into the same engine.

Content is becoming over saturated. Yet another look/sound/storyline that nobody cares about. What we need is new engines.

Unity is pure madness, so bloated not even the Unity devs. know how to progress.

Same for Unreal.
Actually, if you're not unionized companies are 100% allowed to fire you for whatever reason they like, such as talking about your salary, as long as the underlying reason does not run afoul of anti-discrimination law (which discussing salary won't) and they pay you full severance due to it being a "termination without cause".
Railroads sell passage at market rates. I don’t know how reasonable they are, but seemingly good enough that it is a common practice. Therefore one often sees engines from the western railroads all the way in the northeast, e.g. BNSF and UP.

Yeah, I do do that for those things, but when I don't, I've noticed a decline in quality.
I mean- not really? They have developed / synthesized the material, and they collaborated with another lab that had the skills and equipment to conduct and interpret specific experimental techniques and results.

Fairly common, especially in life sciences, and I suspect chemistry and materials science.

Added in edit: This doesn’t make the result any more or less credible; for that, the true test is independent replication of both the synthesis as well as the experimental measurements. But the fact that the two authors published two papers with different groups is orthogonal to whether the result is real / an experimental error / fraud. I so hope its true - but..lets wait for replication and validation by other qualified experts :)

> I'm only betting on stocks that im familiar with (e.g my hobby industry)

This is potentially the most valuable advice in this thread. If you invest in what you know, it will be a lot easier to stomach downturns and other unexpected events. This is the only reason I held AMD through a few painful phases. I was 200% convinced their architecture would make all the other news irrelevant.
> I see far fewer remote workers claiming that "everyone should work remote"

The presence of a remote worker on a team means everyone is working remotely, in that all meetings have to be video conferences in order to include them. It's just that some might be working remotely from an office.
Two arithmetic errors there:

First, it's not on top of what's planned; it's instead of.

Second, the money to control UP is acquiring a profitable asset, not wasting it.
It has never been a better time for this to happen. Especially with modern medicine and the advancements of AI.

While I did suffer from LC(and probably still will if it relapses), I can also see the silver linings.
People use the same stupid argument when commenting on quantum computer. But in case of QC, one is powerful enough to compute everything and we might not even need two, except for spare. Say a 1000 qubits QC exist, Work that it can do is the sum of all computering power in human history. You cannot even verify if the result is right or not because simply you don't have any classical alternative for that workload.

> The rising intolerance of wrongthink on the left

Basically, people are fed up with general bigotry, racism, misogyny, and the destruction of the environment -- all of which have real life and death consequences for many people. That, combined with polarization, has made people very reactive to which "side" they perceive things to be on.
Which is why I expect a basic income to come before it gets to that point. Not enough for anyone to ever save or invest in themselves, just enough money handed out from the government to be sucked right back up into the rent-seeking money machine.

> Plus, if "consumers" are unable to get what they need for survival and thriving for long enough, they're going to decide (correctly) that someone has taken it from them, and take steps to get it back by whatever means necessary.

Can someone explain like I'm five why this is "huge if true"?
Sorry but you are really missing the point in my experience. I'll give you a non-tech example.

We had a great nanny for our son. She went above and beyond, treating him like a grandson. We went above and beyond for her (max flexibility, paying her days when she couldn't work, lots of bonuses and gifts, etc.)

Both of us exceeded the "employment contract" - gave more than we had to and we both came out ahead. That only worked because we were both willing to go beyond.

What's the point? We treated each other "like family" even though it was a work situation. When our son didn't need a nanny anymore, it didn't make sense for us to work together (so in a way, she was laid off although in reality we found her another gig) but that didn't take away from the quality of our relationship while it lasted.

This is directly analogous to employment dynamics I've had at work for 20 years now. You may find that "creepy" but I also suspect you are oblivious to what the upside can be like.
Heh...and here I thought I was being clever using Inform 7 as a metalanguage. This is way more concise.

Same variable that controls the democrats_in_power->republicans_in_power->democrats_in_power cycle: the cyclic nature of complex systems created out of human society. Whats important is not what controls the cycle, but that the only two options - given to us by human nature - seem to be capitalism and feudalism. Humans need to evolve a bit more before any other options are unlocked.
I cannot give much advice on this, because my experience is minimal. I would say pick a domain and learn to stand out in it. I stood out just a little by doing technical research and writing about it, then posting it in chats/social media. Actually, having twitter was essential. We pretty much met over twitter. On twitter every person is equally accessible to you, be they a celebrity or your cousin Bob.
I used Alphas running OSF/1 I believe and Windows NT. They both were amazingly fast compared to anything else at the time (PPro 200, Sun Sparc). It is sad that they couldn't have been spun out. Clean architecture, great performance.

FWIW and IME: not by trying to reduce the uncertainty through study.

I spent a few years studying climate models. I have lots of background in mathematical modeling and numerics, but not climate per se, so this was a big undertaking but possible. I have to admit that -- although I can now read and understand papers better -- it hasn't been particularly illuminating.

The global climate is changing. The long-term impact of these changes is difficult to know, particularly because there are many plausible bifurcation points. Beyond some basics, the TL;DR is "we just don't know exactly what will or won't happen, or when, but it's probably not going to be good for most people on the planet and things are probably going to start getting bad within 1-2 hundred years".

In my mind it's really just a case where being a conservative is the best approach.

Actually, the earth is subject to evolutionary pressure in a sense.

This is the only planet that supports life (that we know of). That's because it's natural properties endured through billions of years to support life.

It's not exactly an arms race. And it's a different, but similar mechanism. But I think the underlying principles are the same.

In this case, evolution won't look like the earth changing over time. It's more like, there are billions of potential earths out there, and over billions of years, some of them will more subtly change to support life.

So, we may destroy our earth, but that doesn't impair the ability for other earths to evolve. We just may not see it.
I think much of everything else has been ruthlessly optimized for volume + price/profit, so the minimum viable product rises to the top.

While you are technically correct about the logic, there is no scientific reason to even consider the existence of any higher power.
If enough people believe it then it works and hence it’s not randomness and can be exploited to make money.

Much like it’s important to always say to your crush that you are the most compatible sign.

All sorts of BS narratives dominate the stock market, TA can be thought of as a meta-narrative.

Some quant hedge fund understood that sunny days in Manhattan are correlated with the market going up, TA could be the same, if some particular chart figure emerges then it prompts people to buy or sell thus creating the same effect of a sunny day in Manhattan.

logically speaking both the sunny day and the peculiar TA chart appearing should not prompt people to buy or sell a security who are we to question their psychology? And most importantly why question it when we can exploit it?

Other people would turn around and exploit our psychology when being in a good mood due to having made money on the stock market exploiting the TA meta-narrative , people in a good mood are notoriously more likely to spend on stuff and even overpay for it
Erratic is what you can expect (and are already getting)

I'd expect averages might drop in spots, and raise in others, regionally. But the variance will be all over the map. And already is.

Summer heat waves, droughts, intense tropical storms.

And then winters with unusually warm days followed by record lows.

For Northern/Western Europe, with the gulf stream interrupted I'd imagine the could expect a climate closer to what the northeast of the Americas already get: erratic inconstant weather patterns with lower lows than they're used to.

Remember that the northeast and midwest is quite a bit further south than many western & northern European cities, but suffers far more brutal winters.

Here in southern Ontario, we're at the same lattitude as northern Italy or south of France, and our summers can be just as hot, and growing season about as long (and way more humid). ... But in the winter there's episodic lows below -25C, -28C. And I can tell you, you can't easily grow e.g. vitis vinifera grapes with those patterns, and certainly not figs, citrus, etc.

I don't think Europeans are mentally prepared for this, if it's coming.
LaTeX is of course big in math and physics because its math typesetting is unparalleled. And generally it’s just much more convenient to write a lot of math in LaTeX than a wysiwyg editor once you’re proficient. Outside hard sciences it’s probably not common.
Non-carbon energy production in the UK tends to be delayed by years through planning appeals as some rich person doesn't want "their view" spoiled.

In 1939 the UK built dozens or hundreds of airbases across the country. No consultation, no hang wringing, just got on and did it.

Climate change is a larger threat to the UK than Nazi Germany. We need to treat it as such.
PTSD is anything but stable. It's highly volatile and extremely unpredictable day-to-day, hour-to-hour.

It's not only "unstable" matching the classic example of a small force on an inverted pendulum will topple it over in dramatic fashion, but it's also "chaotic" -- "exhibits sensitive dependence on initial conditions, which can often lead to seemingly random or unpredictable behavior over time, despite a system's deterministic nature."
Do you have stake in the game? If you are wrong about this, will you take responsibility?

The wager is: we try to do the conservative thing by reducing emissions. The side effects are positive, anyway, since it will also reduce pollution.

The other side of this wager is, we do nothing: and the potential is catastrophic for everyone.

Doesn't it seem like a silly gamble?

I'm new to Rust, and I noticed this just the other day.

I was playing with some Rust-based blockchain system, and the number of external dependencies pulled in (recursively) to build the code truly amazed me.

I don't really know, but I'm guessing that a similar C++ project would have required many fewer dependencies.

Maybe a C++ code base would tend rely on a small number of big libraries?

Or maybe a C++ code base would (for some reason) be more inclined to use binary libraries provided by already-installed Debian packages?
I don't think you understand macroeconomics (or the undergrad level curves you're mentioning)
While I agree that TA is an invalid method for investing, I disagree with your take on it. What you describe are, charitably, outlier events. Statistical models generally aren't useful for predicting singular events, even if they aren't outliers. So you aren't really invalidating the use of TA with that argument.
>Good. The Bolt is a great form factor. We need to stop this never-ending race to get the biggest and heaviest cars for no reason in the US.

This is basically a fringe position. According to wikipedia the Bolt is classed as a "subcompact" car. In the late 2010s basically every car manufacturer exited out of the subcompact segment[1] because of lackluster sales. At least in North America, almost nobody wants subcompact cars.

>We already have people driving trucks around lifted beyond belief with beds that never get used.

Every time this sort of conversation comes up, pickup trucks are always brought up as the problem. Yet, if you look at sales data[2], their market share only rose modestly. Arguably they're just returning to historical trends after fuel prices came back down in the late 2010s. The fastest growing segment is actually crossovers. They come with much of the same concerns you raised about pickup trucks, but I suppose they're way harder to demonize so nobody really talks about them.
