That sounds small, but compound it [monthly/quarterly] over a decade.... and I think that this is the fee that they charge on top of your money, but that there are also fees embedded in the funds that cause the returns to slightly underper

Think Or Swim, is an options trading platform, that has some very good software for analysis. You can get a free paper trading account from them. Probably some of the best training you can get would be to take that paper trading account,

That's interesting. It seems very focused on specifically training traders, and in options, for market makers, and the like. Something like that targeted at a broad audience might be really useful.

Do you have any evidence to supper your assertion that it is dangerous to train people in investing? I know its popular for people to throw up their hands and give up and claim that index funds are the way to go. I also know that many pe

The difficulty in this is that there's a much more cohesive perception of how you program javascript than there is on how you invest in stocks. In fact, for much of javascript there's little debate, yet for stocks there are large numbers o

Man, I agree. We should have a lot more talk about selling here on HN. It is much more relevant than politics. Isn't the essence of a business- and all startups are young business-- the mechanism that generates revenue? And isn't selling

The thing about age is, when you're 25 and you look at 35 and 45 year olds, you're amazed at how much they don't know. But when you're 45, and you look back on when you were 35, or 25, you're amazed at how much you didn't know. The software

I don't understand where the assumption that the 60 year old is getting paid less than the 27 year old comes from. Maybe this was written by a 27 year old? The reason to hire younger people is that they're theoretically cheaper if you assu

"With most programmers being so unprofessional, assigning a grade school teacher doesn't even sound like such a far fetched idea..." Wow! FWIW, I am one who is genetically incapable of keeping his mouth shut. If something's stupid or sucks,

I think this illustrates a fundamental problem with the people being hired to manage programmers. I worked for a boss like this at Amazon. His degree wasn't even in business, but in criminal justice-- he was trained to be a prison guard an

This needs to change its name. Call it ClementineKit, or UniKit, or anything. UIKit is the name of the UI Frameworks in iOS. Using the same name will only lead to confusion, worsen people's ability to find the project when searching, et

Interestingly, this post comes at a time when the Apple voice is changing. I think they're taking it to the next level. This was discussed in the blog of Ken Segall, who previously worked with Apple (and with Jobs) on Apple's copy, includin

I believe this is testing a false premise. The premise is, that when investors think the market is going to go up in the next month, they move money into mutual funds, and that when investors think the market is going to go down in the nex

Do you have data for the difference in latency &/or bandwidth between servers on the same rack at Hetzner vs. on different racks? I was assuming that having the servers in different racks would be an advantage, mainly because the reason

by nirvana 15y ago
The only problem with your comparison is that you forgot to include the 149 Euro setup fee for the Hetzner server. I don't think this makes a material difference however over three years. Some would say this isn't fair because you're not i

Thank you. This presents some implications I'm going to have to consider in developing our application. Fortunately, in the early days we'll be collecting no personally identifiable data.

I made an edit to my original post, though for some reason it didn't take. Anyway, I'm not doing anything controversial, and I won't even be hosting user generated content (at least not in the early days, though we might later).

Half the memory, with ECC. Since 16GB is pretty sufficient for my needs, I think I'd use the extra 16GB for pure caching. (Riak has an in memory mode so you can run two backends- one backed by disk and one not backed. Using the in RAM one

Been planning to set up a cluster with Hertzner using the EX 4, so the 4S is like getting 16GB more RAM for 10 Euros more a month. This is great news. One thing I have wondered about is whether hosting in Germany is a good idea. First is t
