   I like the strategy and employ it on a portion of my 401k. I think you need to do it in a tax-advantaged account, otherwise rebalancing + short term gains will eat away your profits. Also, that strategy fails in a rising interest rates envi

   Thanks for the population numbers, I didn't know they were so different. I just ranked them from (my perceived) livability - SLC close to skiing/nature, while Minneapolis/Ann Arbor are not destination cities like the other on

   LA is one of the densest parts of CA though, outside of SF/Bay Area. So if LA is 3%, you could assume the state as a whole is maybe 1-2%. Then 17x that becomes 17-34%, which seems more reasonable.

    Disclosure: Am a googler, know nothing about any of this other than public press I laughed out loud watching it live and reading the quote later: "I want to thank Google. Google is helping to develop a website. It’s going to be very qu

    I think you want to say California has the best restaurants/food vs. "California cuisine is the best cuisine". Of course SF/Bay has some of the best restaurants in the world with French Laundry, Atelier Crenn, Benu, Sais

    Hey HN! As a side project, I used the GPT-2 OpenAI NLG model and trained it on Donald Trump speeches. You can type a sentence and it will generate a few paragraphs that sound like Trump completing the thought. I used https://gith

    This is awesome, very cool! You mentioned OpenAI in another post - it's not that hard to use the GPT-2 model. Check out https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple for a quickstart. Would be curious to see how the m

    We can discuss code camp pro/cons all day, but the article spells out that there was little coding being taught here. Instructors with little tech experience, high rate of firing and stuff turnover, students being told to "google

    Put some respect when talking about Skip To My Lou ;-) Agreed with your commentary - Steph is one of the greatest NBA players ever, and a variety of regular stats and advanced stats (i.e. gravity measurement) reflect that. It's why guy

    My point was not that Churchill wanted fascism or communism. The point was that Hitler was a genocidal leader and that the British/Victorian government during the 20th century also perpetuated genocide, directly or through inaction. Hi
