I did not know that. 1300? That is quite a specific, but round number. 1028 would have been really cool!

I respect your opinion - it's hard to put those out there. As a counter thought, would a 'hole' in the argument be that religion doesn't ask, require, or expect you to be #1. It just asks you to try to improve and to bec

I am not sure the current state, but they were looking for a CTO in ~2019 for what seemed like a very long time. Current CTO specializes in ML, so maybe current team isn't really aware of working in the real universe of large applicati

I feel your pain on SPA's.... I feel like code velocity drops on small teams. What about LiveView/Phoenix made the process more enjoyable - let's call it 'less painful'?

I'm postulating that "bad luck" is mostly poor decisioning, with say 30% of black swan type events in humans. Paralleling Nassim Taleb's concept of protecting against downside tail risks is of utmost important. Are there

Can you expand on the concept of what "not-I" is? I am very interested, and maybe it is my coffee just kicking in - but my brain can't comprehend solid examples of it.

Funny enough - I thought you were serious and agreed with me - and just found out you were being facetious. ;)

This is very cool. I had to write something in the near realm a few year ago, and love your implementation.

A manager wanting to use spy software is overtly telling the world and themselves they are a poor manager.

I know the article is Europe specific, but Netflix is dropping quality in Europe for 30 days due to demand. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22630665

I expect you are being facetious. The reason the market is up is a short squeeze.

Interesting - thanks for posting. The difference in cortisol is useful to know about.

Technical analysis has validity - it is just patterns and data. It isn't perfect, because outcomes are still variable, and also consist of independent human decisions. A pandemic is an edge case... However, markets react much more quic

I wholly agree with this. I loved the mind bending nature of complex CS problems, including Algos & Automata. Yet coding is a snore fest for more than a few days. I felt like I went from a forward looking, enlightening major - to become

Your strategy is a great one to work - no matter the prevailing trend! The trend for 10 years has been to become lax on protecting the downside. Even large funds have stopped protecting downside with puts. Your strategy doesn't produce

One's investment plan should not rely on "if". Sit with a piece of paper - write down the scenarios that are possible, not the ones you want to happen. Now project forward - thinking what should I have done if each of these w

No, but when the obvious trade (short) is apparent, it is easy to take out weak hands with the opposite trade. Plus large institutions need a rally after this warning shot to exit positions. Always look for the shock (which is just a warnin

It is in their interest to declare optimism. Pessimism gives one a chance to exit positions on 'green uptrends' and keeps other fees coming in. If people expect a downturn, spending of all sorts is restricted - and fees are questi

Why would one buy the dip when momentum is heavy downside (long term)? April will most likely be a short slaughter, sure, but after that very unpredictable.

Smart approach. Pay attention to unwind it before April please IF it is short duration. Mainly sharing since you state you donate your income (much applauded!). There will be a sharp short slaughter rally in April, but then dropping off a c

Goldman just ratcheted down 2021 projections, and they're still being optimistic. They will ratchet down again to show a great recession. Don't make a poor financial decision based on FOMO.

On the profession side of this, if you're an engineer at RH in the thick of this - many have been there. It seems dire now, but in a few years the fog, panic, and haze of no sleep will become a story you tell your peers at happy hour.
