This is great intel - sorry it had to come with such painful experience. Does anyone know if Open Distro for ElasticSearch ( https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/ ) has these problems? Or is it related to how A

Wow this is perfect. I'm using org mode more and more for everything I do and my only concern was mobile access. Thanks so much for working on this!

I've captured (in Evernote, ironically) a few Evernote alternatives. Haven't had time to look them over yet, so not sure how much they address each of your needs: - https://getpolarized.io/ : open source html and p

This looks awesome. Is there an easy way to transfer my current chrome session / cookies to the archivebox chromium instance? Would love to my subscription websites (eg nytimes) to register my logged-in state and allow the capturing in

100% agree. I'm an avid Buffett, Munger and Berkshire follower. I've been to >= 8 of the last sequential annual meetings in Omaha (I highly, highly recommend it). This letter left me feeling a bit empty, which I've never f

I tried Quantum and it crushed the battery of my MacBook Air. Activity Monitor showed much more energy usage than chrome. Anyone experience the same?

How do you set up a "pusher channel" to the browser? Websocket? Would love to see a write-up/notes/gist that demos this.

By "active management" I mean actively taking a role in shaping company management, board makeup, corporate governance, say on pay, etc. While Vanguard may vote all their shareholder proxies, they almost always vote along with the

But then that would be active management. This is something Vanguard expressly does not do.

Ultimately this is a good thing for the stock pickers that remain - fewer dollars spent actively discovering the true value of companies means longer stretches and wider swings of mispricings.

I just searched "longo fasting" and this was the first result for me: "Fasting Mimicking Diet". https://prolonfmd.com/fasting-mimicking-diet/ It's a sales pitch so obviously needs caution here,

Makes sense to me. Because Apple is discontinuing the Macbook Air - the best combination of power, form factor and price - I'm regularly looking at all available alternatives. Can't really see how they're doing "what&#x2

Nevermind -- Turns out I was just trying to type some characters in Emacs' welcome screen, which doesn't allow that in any terminal. I was so focused on kicking the tires of Alacritty I wasn't paying attention. Looks interset

For some reason I can't run Emacs in terminal/unwindowed mode in Alacritty. Every "regular" character I type (ie to enter text into a buffer), Emacs says it's "unrecognized". Control sequences work - ie I

There are some funds that have much better incentive structures than the standard 2-and-20. In particular, some funds charge an incentive fee over a hurdle rate of say, 6%. Even more fair to investors - this hurdle rate compounds and is sub

IBM is a master at reinvention. They regularly discard unprofitable businesses and expand into profitable ones. In 2014, they disposed of businesses representing $7b in revenue but -$500m in profit. Managing to the future by getting rid of

Very good summary of circle of competence. Obviously a bit more complicated than that in practice, but this is probably 80% of it.

But it is a pretty large bet for Todd and/or Ted, who each manage ~$8-10b. In that light, this is a pretty significant statement about one (or both) of their judgements of Apple's value relative to quoted market price.

Agree on these points. Also, across the dozens of businesses fully owned by Berkshire Hathaway, he has unique insight into the tech vendors that those businesses rely on. The rumor is that he polled a significant portion of the managers of

Interesting that he's going to start giving away shares now. Makes me wonder if he doesn't see much more financial upside to FB, at least at current price levels. If there's a lot more value to to accrue to his FB stock (even

Very cool stuff - love to see the power and expressiveness of Ruby in a much faster form. Frameworks like this help make the ecosystem more legitimate.
