The value is that it's actually quite difficult to follow the market at such huge scale. If you're investing $100 billion and manage to mirror returns of the overall market, you deserve a good commission.
Just played this game for a while after seeing your post, quite fun. Too bad development on it seems to have died off, and that there appears to be no option to actually overtake humanity as the end game.

Here is a simple model for hedge fund fees:

1. There are some people who can reliably generate alpha -- returns in excess of the market return -- but those people are rare.

2. It is somewhat difficult to tell who those people are; in particular, at any given time, there are more people who look like they can generate alpha than who actually can.

3. If you are one of the people who can generate alpha, you should charge a fee for your services that is equal to the alpha that you generate.

4. If you are not one of those people, you should charge a fee equal to the alpha that those people generate, because then investors might think that you're one of them.

Ask HN: Will general AI be the last human invention?
General AI learns to code and self improves to super intelligence. Problems beyond our abilities are trivial to it. Depending on which camp you fall into we either enter a stage of Nirvana or get replaced by a superior species of our own creation.

A lot of very smart computer scientists and philosophers fall into one camp or the other.

Do you buy it?

If so, isn't any business not working on general AI essentially a lifestyle business?

Who would you hope realizes the breakthrough?

As the theory goes the first AI that hits self improvement level will go from a dumb human level to a super intelligent level in weeks, days, or even hours so the first mover will be the last mover.

Pick your poison. Google, Apple, government, academia, lone wolf?

It's quite an interesting question.
That IS a lot of money in Thailand. But the truth is that nice stuff in Thailand costs a lot more than what most foreigners think. Sure, you can rent a one-room condo in a cheap part of Bangkok for less than 100 EUR a month, and eat cheap street food for 1 EUR a meal. But that gets old fast. Resort destinations that are popular with foreigners are pricey. The photos in the article show a nice looking house in a popular destination so I'm not surprised at the cost. Cheap food is cheap but when you want a nice steak be prepared to pay 3X what you would in the US (local beef is horrid so imported is the only reasonable choice). Nice bottle of wine 5X what you pay in France. At least seafood is about the same as western prices, which is to say a little pricey. And if you decide to stop being a tourist working on your holiday (which is all that digital nomads really are) and stay longer you will want to buy larger ticket items. You will find that electronics are higher priced and vehicles are 2X to 3X the price compared to the west.
A lot of VCs believe that the only way to get them is via referral. this is why they don't care about their site nor want you to contact them this way.

Even an algorithm has some (although very small) management fee. The cheapest ETFs have an expense ratio of .05%.

So from this perspective, it'd make sense to go with the human fund manager who was beating the market and charging exactly his outperformance.

Come work with a talented team of designers and researchers to build awesome projects for some great clients. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have - shoot me an email (in my profile) and let's talk.
I'm going to try moving the stuff currently hosted on a debian box over to it and see how that experience goes. If everything goes well, I'll see if I can get it working well on my laptop and try to switch over. I'd like to eventually be able to use hammer snapshots as a backup method rather than any specific program.

edit: Oh, I also plan on running a tor relay on the vps.
I try to do everything myself because no reasonably priced mechanic or contractor cares more about my stuff than me.

Would any self-respecting programmer follow along with such idiocy if they were not paid to do so?
I agree that some certifications are out of style, specifically in programming because you can glean so much more data about a candidate from their code rather than a certification.

However, in other areas, if the certification is sufficiently difficult to attain such as Cisco's networking certificates, or where you can't assign a task or review past work to determine an individual's skill level I think certifications can be helpful even in a startup hiring environment.

For example, if you are applying as a product management and have relatively junior experience but you have a great feel for our product and market I would still be potentially worried about how well you can interface with a team. So seeing a certification around SCRUM or Agile, in this particular case will certainly be helpful.
I've been suffering from these blasted things for 18 years, and have similarly noted the same sorts of correlations. My best efforts: cutting out gum; cutting out sharp foods; cutting out acidic foods; taking vitamins B-12 and C, L-lysine, and zinc; switching toothpastes and brushing techniques. I regret not recording my history of occurrences, but I perceive things are improving. At the very least, it's safe to say the cause of canker sores is multi-factorial.

Sorry, I'm rambling. No one in my life can relate, so I'll take any chance to talk about it.
There isn't any complexity.

It's "just" that there are many people who don't exactly problem-solve well.

I've noticed this before. I've taken classes where people produce decent, although not great, assignments, and then turn around and get <20% on a test.

There has been a series of recent lawsuits that have required pension funds to perform proper due diligence when selecting management for retirement funds. (E.g., http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-20/lockheed-a... and http://www.retirementtownhall.com/?p=6763)

The possibility for kickbacks (or just complacency) when the ones selecting the fund managers do not necessarily have significant funds under management is evident.

One side effect has been the inclusion of a greater buffet of options for retirement funds offerings from employers.

This news story seems to be another side-effect, in which people start to realize how large these fees had been in some cases.

It doesn't sound like he's talking about the "future" of broadcasting but the present; specifically, that broadcast music in 1931 is worthless because the reproduction quality is too poor. He doesn't say anything specific about the future of broadcasting, but he seems fine with the idea of music reproduction in general, so we can only assume that he would be happier with broadcast music of a higher quality.
Suggest graphing whining on one axis and coding on the other. Graphing them both on the same axis vs. candidate # is unhelpful. (And you should never connect data points which have no meaningful interpolation with lines. It's misleading.)

Picking the Perfect Wedding Reception Location
I don't think NACAC is equivalent to the API. It's not like college counselors are the ETS—in fact, many counselors complain about how much some students focus on the SAT.

As for your anecdotal evidence, it sounds pretty flawed to compare results on the PSAT to the SAT directly—I also got a much higher score on the SAT without doing any studying at all, probably because they're scored and weighted entirely differently. Moreover, if this comparison was done over a year (ex. sophomore to junior year), the results are likely even more flawed—there's too much confounding development in that year to attribute the increase to SAT prep.

Anecdotally, I know I did much better than all of my friends who spent months studying for the SAT and drilling on vocabulary, math, and strategy. If the SAT is so game-able, they should have overcome me.

Code signing is not interesting. If normal people can get their code signed then so can the attacker and if they can't then it locks you out of your own computer. The only thing code signing is really good for is to verify that an update to a program the machine's owner installed was signed by the same author as the original program, and unfortunately it's rarely implemented that way.

But that's not really what you're asking for anyway. You can assign granular permissions to binaries regardless of code signing.

The real problem is there are so many things that aren't literally root but are effectively equivalent because if you can do them then you have easy privilege escalation. That's why the Windows security model is so silly. An administrator is not allowed to 'su' to another user without the user's password but any reasonable subset of the administrator's privileges can be used to silently cause any user to execute arbitrary code, e.g. by setting their login script or putting executables in the All Users startup folder or just loading a kernel driver that will let them do whatever they want.

The ratio is actually a function of the radius:

v = (4/3) * pi * r^3

s = 4 * pi * r^2

s / v => 3/r

This makes a kind of sense in terms of heat transfer: the sun's got a whole lot more insides for radiation to get through before it can even reach the surface to escape.

I'm confused which make is the POSIX one. I have bmake on my linux boxes to handle the BSDisms, because it has features that are useful and not POSIX. If you don't like gmake, I get it.

But let's not pretend there's a commonly used make that only observes POSIX, I think the ones I've seen {b,g,n}make, makeapp and are mostly POSIX but non quite.

This claims to be a "software license" but it isn't one. It doesn't give you, the person reading the code, permission to do anything.

IANAL, but I presume that any code that anyone puts here has the same legal status as code you found in a repository with no license file at all. Unless someone fixes the license, you can't legitimately reuse any of its code anywhere else.

I had been an avid Windows user for two years from 2010-2012 and I had fun with Windows, surprisingly, I did not have the "Windows sucks" feelings back then because I hadn't started using Linux full time, and now I am a full time Linux user.

I don't use Windows on my laptop, but I don't "hate" it, I totally concur on your point about people hating the platform for the wrong reasons, historically the maretshare of Windows has been high and that is the reason for malware stuff.

What irritates me more than people hating windows for no reason is they don't realize that they are not using the platform properly, for eg when I tell fellow developers to switch to or use Linux for development they "stick" to windows even if they can't change the brightness of the screen! Yes some stupid driver error, they say they are "comfortable" with Windows, but irnonically they can't even give folder permission to users, this basic thing!

I feel people are too resistant to change and they want to blame something/someone and that is the problem with the hate stuff that spreads like a flu over the Internet

A Thought for Technical Interviews
So I very recently had an interview for a mid-level engineering position with a fairly well-known start-up, and it went poorly.

I would like to share a thought from it.

The interview in its entirety consisted of two individuals presenting me with an intermediate-difficulty problem and having me work through it. The problem was by no means beyond me-- given an hour to sit down and work on it, I could easily solve it.

And an hour is what I got.

HOWEVER:

It's not so much that I needed about an hour as that I needed individual periods of 10 minutes or so to sit silently and think about how I would approach certain algorithmic aspects of the problem as they came up.

Instead, what I had was a laptop in front of me and an individual sitting at my left shoulder and another at my right shoulder, and anytime 30 seconds or so would pass, one of them would prompt me with a remark along the lines of "So what are you thinking?" or "So how are you approaching this?" or "So why don't you start with..."

This ruined any chance I had of completing this problem. I never had enough time to gather a cohesive approach to the problem because the interviewers constantly obligated me into diverting my attention to what they were saying or suggesting or asking.

Imagine if, as we were working at our jobs, every time we hit on a challenging aspect, someone sat next to you and asked you what you were thinking every 30 seconds. How well do you think you would perform?

Interviews executed in such a manner are in no way indicative of a candidate's skill.

Please, give an engineer some time to decide how he should approach a problem. Some of us think very fast and design optimal solutions on the fly. Most of us don't and have to do some trial-and-error to come up with great software. Stop mistaking the latter category for incompetence.
So what Mr. Levine is saying here, is that the expense for fund management is expected to scale nearly linearly with fund-size and New Yorkers have nothing to complaint about.
Only to the extent that details like democracy, zoning, and free speech permit.

Which is to say you can demand all you like, but until enough people agree with you the right way it doesn't matter.
Not sure why you were downvoted, it's true. A market competitor hasn't come out yet with a flat fee structure, but with the FinTech battle heating up between algorithmic advisors I believe its an inevitable product/price offering.

We primarily use Eclipse as our editor developing Java. I think I'm using the correct plugin (MercurialEclipse) but there's another one (HgEclipse, or there used to be) which has often caused confusion.

Some of the issues are likely due to our project which is >93k commits at around 1GB for the repo size - I think we have a commit in the history that has 40kb commit message - I believe the developer mixed up some streams/pipes for some reason or other while committing - I'm not sure why we got stuck with it in our history though I suspect this could be the cause of some issues. I can list a few of the issues I still see regularly, but since about a year or so back I've abandoned using the plugin in favor of doing everything manually on the command line, except for viewing history and resolving merge conflicts.

My setup:
- Eclipse 4.4.2 (configured to run with 2GB memory) - though most all of these issues I've seen since 3.something
- MercurialEclipse: http://mercurialeclipse.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg.wiki...
- OS X (10.10 and 10.9), mercurial installed through homebrew.

1. During some actions (I believe to be cloning/sharing projects, maybe elsewhere) the the config for mercurial in eclipse pops up thinking it can't find the hg binary, giving an error about bad location. Nothing has moved or changed on the system, simply focusing in the location field of the hg location and back out causes it to re-validate. I've seen this one recently, maybe a few days ago.

2. Some files can't retrieve history or show annotations. I suspect because the files have been through numerous edits over the years and the plugin runs out of memory or hits a timeout when trying to load everything.

3. Occasionally refreshing status throws error and pops up dialog informing me. When this happens the plugin becomes unusable until eclipse is restarted, but popups continue to show up when trying to do any sort of task (such as refreshing project)

4. Using mq patches cause the mercurial status of project to not update regularly (in Navigator pane). I've since moved away from using mq patches in favor of managing multiple local heads.

5. The merge view/window no longer automatically shows up when performing a merge in eclipse. It has to be manually opened, but used to automatically show up - I liken it to performing a search but the search results not automatically showing up unless it's part of your workspace layout already.

These are what I can recall off the top of my head, but I've also shied away from using the plugin since quite a while ago. In general the speed is sometimes frustrating to deal with, when wanting to view history of a file. It feels like it's gotten slower after some time that we've had largefiles extension turned on, though it's unfair to assume so because I'm biased.
One easy trick: Express it as a 10-year cost, rather than an annual cost, and it sounds 10 times as big!

That's funny, because I haven't managed to find a desktop OS that is up to par with Linux for me. Preferences may vary, but second rate in your book is the only viable contender in mine. Also turns out that Linux does in fact have corporate sponsors, like oracle, red hat, etc. so I'm not sure I follow. Is closed source software top notch without corporate sponsorship?

The sad truth is that most software sucks, regardless of the license, there's just a lower barrier to entry, use, and discoverability with OSS so it's more visible. At least with OSS we can fix the issues instead of just accepting the suckage.
