Holy hell why did I get flagged? She wrote a huge blog post about needing help and isn't getting it?
Yes. That's where my RIA has 33% of my assets now, we moved them in 2019. We will be "piecing back into" the market over the next 12 months. I'm 50 and have a 30 year investment horizon. I've been investing since I was 21. I've been through two massive drops in the market that took years to recover. Don't panic. Valuations will correct themselves and fundamentals will continue to hold until the next bubble. I think that is model we're facing at the upper limit of an exponential.

It has to stay alive so that the rich can get richer. Remember the players in the Panama Papers? There's an entire society that runs the planet. And this isn't a conspiracy, it's out in the open! Look at the Carlyle Group: it is an investing firm funded by people liek MBS (The Saudi), the Clintons, the Bushes, and many other politically-culturally diametrically opposed clients. It's no mystery that rich world leaders who go to war with each other give their money to the same investors.
You know that there are investments only available to people with $5, $10, or $100 million more in holdings? There are entire class of investment devices that you and I will never see. It takes tens of millions to even play in hedge funds. The "real" markets are for the 0.1%. Those will continue to feed off the other markets, which they need to distance themselves from the pack. (Look at wealth distribution over the past 50 years.) But these top tier funds require us schlubs to hand them money while we scrape by with 5-8% yearly returns. They will keep the dials set just right so that we'll have a reasonable retirement while they own the planet (Larry Ellison owns a Hawaiian island. Techbros are buying up New Zealand [Theil]. Think about what happens when trillionaires start to buy entire countries.
Yeah, the market will survive and make sure the upper middle class continues to invest, otherwise there won't be a wealth generating machine for the 0.1-0.01%. As for people who can't afford to even put money in a 401k? Well, we know what one political party things about those people.
The problem I see on DDG & Google is having to scroll 5-10 pages of utter SEO nonsense.
"Do you have a question about ____? Many ask about _______. ____ is a common question, here the are we some answer. [sic]".
Just utter garbage pages.
It used to be just with recipes or medical questions, but now it feels like most everything that is a general query.
You can't just use regex/split to handle CSV, unless you have significant field cleaning BEFORE converting to csv.
In reality you need lexical analysis and grammatical rules to parse any string of symbols. This is often always overlooked by naive implementations.
I take issue with OP's claim that RFC4180 is not well-defined, but almost all of the cases the OP listed are literally in the spec.
Wait, this isn't TCP, this is protocol level above TCP, right? TCP doesn't shape traffic by itself through rate limiting and congestion analysis, does it? I thought the layer above it used TCP to send/receive the buffer size, and that has nothing to do with TCP.
Am I wrong?
Will you be summarizing some of the best debubbles? The reminds me of that subreddit ... changemyview?
I convinced a bunch of friends to use WL a few years ago and now they're mad at ME for the acquisition! Not really mad, but despondent and looking for alternatives. I migrated to Apple's todo list app (which has +ves and -ves), but it was funny getting a bunch of texts within a week blaming me for getting them hooked on WunderList!
EDIT: I mean sign with a certificate, not add an image. Personally I would prefer to not have any adobe software on my mac.
Seven years ago I was at a medical conference in Portland, Oregon with a panel of "experts" discussing the security and accessibility of medical record systems and wearable devices. There was a principal engineer from Intel on the panel. When someone asked about the cloud, this tall, lanky, long-bearded man with a thick accent stood up and said:
"The cloud? (chuckles) What is the cloud? Where is the cloud? Is it over here? (Points to a table) Is it over there? (points to another table). The cloud is a joke, man. It's a complete joke."
EDIT: added an anecdote for SEO. :)
I don't follow. The TLS handshake negotiates the appropriate ciphersuite. With the exception of dropping SHA1 in TLSv1.3, how was the macOS SSL module not able to negotiate a handshake? There should be plenty of suites available. What did Darksky ask for in the TLS handshake???
For example: I'm still running Mojave, and here's what I see from the handshake with the Darksky.net site on :443 ...
:
:
issuer=C = US, O = Amazon, OU = Server CA 1B, CN = Amazon
---
No client certificate CA names sent
Peer signing digest: SHA512
Peer signature type: RSA
Server Temp Key: ECDH, P-256, 256 bits
---
SSL handshake has read 5538 bytes and written 439 bytes
Verification: OK
---
New, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 :

:
They aren't even using TLS1.3 on the main page.
Here is a link with some hilarious quotes from livid professors saying dumb shit:

STMicroelectronics uses it for almost all of their applications, which ship in one zip file with binaries for Win/Mac/Linux.
It ticks #1 and #2, but I don't know about #3.
Of course, I'm not sure if having web-like programming is your implicit #4?
I have PowerShell, Git Shell and Cygwin running on my windows Dev box and all three make me cry on a weekly basis because I have to switch between them to do different things. I suppose one day I will sit down to fix my Windows dev environment, but it makes me feel so bloody frustrated that my muscle-memory shell is so ... perverted by windows implementations.
MS is bringing Bash to windows natively. I don't know how that is going to work since piping just isn't there, but I've got my fingers crossed that I'll only have to deal with ONE shell for windows!!!
It was like someone flipped a switch and suddenly there was only one type of environment for all computing (we used something else besides VNC to manage remote X sessions, I forget what it was, it was some weird launcher for Windows).
IT claimed hundreds of millions in savings due to not having to pay for AIX, HPUX and SunOS licensing. I think the cost is what tipped the scales.
I've built software with a configuration database (Windows registry) and with flat configuration file-folders (*nix). I feel like I'm running in a circle because the trade-offs are so equally balanced that there's no best-case. From considering backups and database consistency, to tripwire malware detection of changed settings, to automation of access, to consistency in naming, retrieval, and type conventions, to self-documentation, to backwards compatibility... At this point I'm not even sure I would understand the correct or "best" methodology if it was handed to me on a silver platter.
