I actually disagree with you about shares of companies. They should accurately reflect the value of the underlying company. Wanting everything to "go up" all the time is part of the problem that we face throughout the economy, not just in housing. Just as city councils have conspired to rig the process for housing, forces like central banks have rigged the process for all types of investment assets (including housing!). This will become a problem as a generation of savers/investors is unable to generate positive returns on investments to fund their lifestyles and retirements.

Reminds me a little of Bob too.

You just described most of human endeavor.

I got underscore characters. Seems unlikely.

Your resume link doesn't work because you meant to put `/resume.pdf`. Not a good look when you're trying to get hired :-)

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say about Buffett, but he's sitting on a gigantic pile of cash right now. He knows which way the wind is blowing.

What's the rationale for excluding sqrt? And, do you allow Math.pow (since that's the same thing)?

I agree.

Antivirus software is basically a scam.

This reminds me of the article someone else posted today about six sigma, where commenters rightly pointed out that the methodology works until companies try to use it to replace actual thinking managers.

The hedge is simply to pay attention and make your own decisions. Index funds are great in general, but not when markets get out of whack (bubbles, etc).

How does all of this connect with The Dark Side Of The Moon?

Sort of badly coded. The cursor moves when it shouldn't.

This is all made worse by the fact that search is a monopoly.

Nice downvote. Every single person I know who uses the Slack Windows client has this issue. How about you differ with me if I'm wrong.

Edit: here's a link to others with the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/bj3ltt/windows_users...

Let me know when they figure out how to build a Windows client that doesn't run an entire CPU core at 100% all day long.

I'm not sure I understand the business model Derrick was pursuing, but the objective seems very interesting. Maybe instead of shutting it down he should consider pivoting Level to a FOSS approach modeled on something like lichess. Maybe a set of early adopter companies would be interested in joining in to help build and support the product. There would obviously be less or maybe no immediate financial incentive in it for him, but he would be continuing with a very constructive aim. In my experience, that kind of involvement in a growing project usually pays dividends, one way or another.

Where is Elon Musk getting the $10M of cash to buy into this offering? Isn't his wealth tied up in his companies?

I guess the idea here is that Uber is developing technologies that would put them ahead of a new entrant/competitor. Time will tell.

Do you have to have a clear view of the sky to access this, or would it work under a roof?

Also, what's the total bandwidth available?

And, if people are so upset about it, just run uBlock and Ghostery, like I do.

Preach.

Fine. It's not luck after college. Then how do you explain her string of failures at Yahoo? It starts being luck again at age 35?

Sigh. Regurgitating stuff you read is very different from being someone who actually knows how to build things. I don't think Marissa even pretends to know how to code at this point. I think in the past she did pretend to, which was sort of a problem.

If you went to Stanford in that era, then you know that Symbolic Systems was basically "Computer Science Lite."

Do some reading for f*'s sake. Take a look at this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(scientist)

Marissa is a fake computer scientist. There are real female computer scientists out there, and very good ones at that.

I've known Marissa since Stanford too, and you're wrong. I'm not sure if you're lying or what, but you're wrong.

Edit: Before you pile on, I'm rich too. Not as rich as her but rich enough not to take issue with her for that reason. The reason people remember Marissa is she was pretty. End of story.

The cult of personality around Marissa is just confusing to me.

Can someone explain to me why there are so many posts about Rust on HN? I generally don't click on them, because I don't use Rust. But I'm just curious.

Didn't people blame algorithms for the 1987 market crash? Are you sure they reduce volatility? I suspect they just compress it all into short spans of time -- i.e. they just move it around.

This advice is almost always right. It's wrong when you're on the precipice of a massive market bubble. Your job is to decide whether or not that is the case right now....
