The author's points about advertising and hidden fees are well-taken.

Regarding "Stop charging proportional fees": if Vanguard, who charges proportional fees, is operating "at cost" as the author claims, then what is all that extra money paying for? The implication is that technology could be a game-changer because it unlinks the size of the effort from the size of the effect, but surely that is already happening with Vanguard's 12-digit funds.

Actually, I did try Scaleway when I saw them on HN like 9 months ago! I recompiled a Go program I was working on [1] for ARM and benched it against Linode.

It was literally 10x slower than Linode even after playing around with Go's concurrency level to find the fastest runtime, and even with the dataset in memory. :( ARM just wasn't the right arch for what I was doing.

I ended up going with Vultr because it has the $5 pricepoint for hosting tiny websites and tons of datacenter locations. Their CPU performance and network speed were great in my tests.

Angular vs. React – the tie breaker
Yeah, I would think that the quasi stable orbits would be L4, L5 or orbiting around any of the pairs. If you have a symmetric situation isn't the middle point exactly L1? That would be unstable.

Edit:
From Wikipedia:

>The triangular points (L4 and L5) are stable equilibria, provided that the ratio of M1/M2 is greater than 24.96.

So with a symmetric situation, where M1/M2=1 they wouldn't be stable either.
Wow, this is exactly what I needed.
OK I may be off point here - but why do people who know just enough JQuery need to know about React ?

Wasn't React developed as a tool to manage complex data flow patterns inside of a big web app like Facebook ? Why does your average JQuery developer need to know or care about this whole new abstraction layer ?

Even though I've seen it a 100 times by now I'm still amazed by how fad driven programming culture is and I feel like this is a perfect example : React - come learn this complex peace of technology to solve problems you never had (and probably never will).

Interestingly, I _think_ the Reddit algorithm basically makes this mistake too -- although embedded in a more complicated algorithm that combines with 'newest first' altered by positives minus negatives.

I don't think the HN algorithm is public, but wouldn't be surprised if it does the same.

Perhaps the generally much smaller number of 'votes' on a HN/reddit post makes it less significant.

IP protection laws were a reaction to the invention of cheap printable works if I remember correctly. The idea is to encourage creation in a world where a copy costs nothing to make.

Youtube clip sharing/embedding is what Youtube is designed to do. You can turn it off on clips you upload. I think the problem here is duplication and passing off someones work as your own for clicks amd/or profit. Corporations do a lot of "clearing" clips that appear in documentaries so owners are compensated and not to be sued.

You are right, Individuals now empowered with their computers have their own duplication and distribution system and love free (who doesn't love free). Thus Napster. DRM makes purchasing less appealing than pirating, gone from music now, maybe someday from video.

Attempts to make individuals responsible for "sharing" was a PR disaster with fines and laws set in the pre-computer days. Even when the media companies won huge settlements from individuals they lost.

This will get more interesting when those 3d printers get better and cheaper and people start trading design files. I'm waiting for a R2D2 design to be shared...

Vanguard does reduce the fee in many of its funds as the investment amount becomes larger. The tiers are Investor, Admiral, Institutional, and Institutional Plus. Some of these you can get in a 401k plan negotiated by your employer. VIIIX for example is an S&P fund with a 0.02% expense ratio.

One thing that's rather difficult to implement without GCs are concurrent, wait-free data structures.

When you have multiple threads trying to unlink structural elements they have to back off and leave the work to other threads, otherwise you will get contention on the pointers which breaks the wait-free guarantee.

With a GC you can just null out a reference. Or let another thread do the nulling.

With manual memory management you can only call free once.
With ownership a thread cannot back off because it has taken ownership for that chunk of the data structure.
With reference counting you either have contention from the count fields or vastly inflated footprint for striped counters.
"I will not demonstrate to any man who throws doubt upon the system," he said at the time. Fleming, however, fired off a fuming letter to The Times of London. He dubbed the hack "scientific hooliganism", and "an outrage against the traditions of the Royal Institution". He asked the newspaper's readers to help him find the culprit.

This kind of hubris looks so quaint from 100 years on, but powerful institutions and people get treated as "serious" for the even higher levels of nonsense today.

I am most concerned about the efficiency of a design like this. People usually look for a gear reduction to increase torque, but an inefficient gearbox can make the output both slower and lower torque which is rarely desirable.

the problem with this is that, for example, an open display of support for gay marriage will make some catholics (for example) unwelcome and discriminated against. This isn't even theoretical,

The thing is that we are talking about a technical community. I don't see what an open display of support for or disapproval of gay marriage has to do with Go.

People subscribe to Go lists because they want to discuss technical aspects of a programming language. For other topics, there are other venues.
Anecdotes invite more anecdotes, and contrasting ones are the most informative because they remind us of how little anecdotes are actually worth.

If you plan to use the money in less than 5 years and know you will need about 30k then put it in a savings account or something of the kind.

On the other hand, if you have no specific plans for that money, and you would just like as much money as possible in 5 years' time, on average you are likely (on past performance) to have more in 5 years if you put it into the stock market than if you put it into a savings account.

(And if you know that in 5 years' time you will desperately need about 100k and have no other way of getting that money, go to a casino or something. Fortunately, that's a rather uncommon situation.)

> Wealthfront markets itself as cheaper than vanguard etfs

Do they? I always saw them as an alternative to a traditional advisor which can be 1%+ of assets. Even Vanguard can be overwhelming for some people who have to make choices on allocation[1]. For someone who wants auto-rebalancing and a set it and forget it manager, .25% isn't all that much. Obviously if you want to manage the money yourself you can always open a TD account where most of the ETFs used by Wealthfront/Betterment can be purchased commission free. But then the user is left doing buys, rebalancing, etc...

[1] For a complete no-brainer solution open a Vanguard account and dump everything into one of their target funds. Some people want something between the target fund and managing their own though.

> Why does the restaurant charge me the same for a burger at 10pm as a burger at 7pm (after all, the staff are already being paid for the day and ingredients already purchased)?

Actually, it's not uncommon for a food vendor to drop its prices at the end of the day, e.g. https://www.itsu.com/about/sale

That doesn't invalidate your point, though.

I'd also suggest that the risk associated with a transaction should also be factored in. The cost of processing small (e.g. $100) and large ($100,000) transactions may be the same but the potential cost to me if I drop the ball is several orders of magnitude larger.
"connections to port 25 are blocked until you ask them to open it up"

They are still using a simple and slow GC, non-copying, tri-color M&S, but at least incremental.

So they need to scan the complete heap, while a good copying collector (e.g. a two-finger Cheney with forwarding pointers) would only need to scan the stack and some roots. My GC needs ~4ms on normal heap sizes, the fastest M&S GC's need ~150ms.
But I haven't found a good version besides the Azul one, which works fine threaded.

Memory overhead: A non-copying GC has none. Lookup a GC book or explanation.
Refcounts have plenty: 1 word per object.
malloc has plenty for its free-list management, growing with the heap size.

A semi-space GC is different as it reserves for every heap segment a mirror segment. A fast version reserves max heap and divides it by 2, so can use max 2GB of 4GB. A normal version can do that incrementally.

Java has a huge memory overhead from the kernel and run-time alone, not so the GC, but since they have various swappable GC's you need space for that. You can write better and smaller run-times with GC which do run circles around Java, .NET, Go or Ruby. As I said mine needs ~4ms, the fastest java is ~20 - 150ms.
v8 has a good one, but I don't know their stats out of my head.

Seems like this article makes quite a leap from the study results to their suggestion that everyone reads paper books. Study results:

1. People reading on a screen are more likely to skim

2. Skimming reduces comprehension of the material

3. Reading on paper correlates with better reconstruction of plot

It seems like 1 and 2 taken together are as good an explanation as any for 3. Given that, I feel like it would be at least worth an experiment to see if making a conscious effort to avoid skimming would be just as effective as switching to reading on paper. If so, I think that would be a cheaper and easier solution to the issue.
I was working in Arthur Andersen when it collapsed after the Enron scandal. Everything was so fast that nobody knew what was happening. We had a couple of meetings with our partners and they said that everything was fine, that it was serious issue, but we should not worry to much about it.

I left the company 6 months later; not sure how they did.

Stable will cleanly build though, where running current snapshots you could come across something temporarily broken or have to debug a tough build if doing it from source. FWIW I just built 5.7 stable and the whole process took an hour and a half for kernel + userland + xenocara with no build issues. Often for stable security patches you just have to rebuild the kernel which is 15 mins work on my older AMD server.

Let's say we kill proportional fee and replace it with a fixed fee. Well, then people with lower balances will end up most likely paying more than they do now. Another issue, it is proportionally harder to execute a larger portfolio than a smaller one. So, proportional fee makes sense. Having said that, yes, it is true that it is not clear to me why as a Vanguard customer I should switch part of my portfolio to Wealthfront.
As a front end dev, I love it when people I work with use the right tools, and the mindset encouraged by making React things is just... good. The lisp/scheme/clojure wisebeards would approve of how it makes you think about UI.

I feel as though the move from raw JS to JQuery is similar in significance to the move from JQuery to React. So in answer to your question, I would say a dev who learned React would be more appealing as a hire and as a colleague, and it'd be well worth the investment for any future career.

Carbon sucks in chips.

C has a 5.5eV band gap while Si has a 1.1 and Ge has a 0.67

Whats bandgap? The energy difference between a conductor/insulator in a semi-conductor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bandgap_in_semiconductor....

The only real reason to switch to carbon chips is noise reduction at the 4nm node (if we ever go that far, we're getting into Long X-Rays at that point for lithography).

Also 4nm node will only be ~16-18 carbon atoms wide.
What scares me about proposals like this is that it's further stratification of society into two separate classes: those who actually own everything and those who must appease the owners.

For example, I can put £40 in my sock drawer every month and, in eight months, I could buy a PS4 and use it for the rest of my life. I could then start save that £40 toward a different purchase. Alternately, I could go with the site you listed and pay £40 a month for the rest of my life just for that same PS4, never making headway.

Now, you can point out that a PS4 is almost the definition of an unnecessary luxury and that I don't have to pay the £40 monthly rental fee, and you'd be right. I mostly went with that example because it was right on the front page and such a terrible deal. Still, in the world where I can own things, I can have the PS4 and the £40 a month, after a little over a half year of hardship, while the rental society won't let me have that. Similarly, I can buy a DVD and watch it forever, instead of shelling out for Netflix each month and hoping that they don't drop that title.

> Generational, concurrent, real-time, whatever other clever properties: not important.

Those properties cut down the pause time in relation to the heap size. The more sophisticated your GC the larger your heap can be for the same pause time.

Until you reach the point where you have a fully-concurrent, pause-free GC.

Of course pause-free GCs aren't free lunch either. They incur increased memory traffic, require more CPU cycles per megabyte collected, require more headroom (i.e. larger memory footprint) to maintain their properties...
