I am sure the privileged kids willing and able to pay 150k USD for university education in US have a very reliable network at home.

I think in this case you’d find all datoms via normal EAVT index and then sort the results by transaction id, dropping everything after your desired transaction.

Looks like they might be afraid of exactly this kind of black-and-white labeling

The page mentions the Log index which is sorted by transaction id. It should be enough to support as-of if I understand correctly.

They should have also collected monthly a total of $62500 extra “taxes” from all these people — the higher the income, the bigger the tax share.

From time to time landlords have to go bankrupt after taking too much leverage. If landlord’s mortgage is risk-free, it means that the landlord is leveraged at the expense of people who don’t have home — which is rather unfair economically,

Anyone remembers the app called Mailbox that was acquihired by Dropbox and killed? God, it was so intuitive, smooth, and simple, with features I _still_ can’t find in 2020 (like reordering the emails in the inbox). I would easily pay 200 US

There are also small software companies that are not VC-funded startups with flashy ideas — e.g. small bootstrapped consultancies and niche software shops. In these companies you still have to hire developers for reasons beyond excitement f

What kind of backend work do you tend to do? I am curious because I am doing real-time financial data processing with sub-millisecond latencies just fine in Clojure. Admittedly, there’s no heavy number crunching in my use case.

Why? I really enjoy using Clojure, and the community is vibrant.

> Moreover, if non-normality is the problem, then pretty much all of modern finance is invalidated. I’d say, finance from the 70s is invalidated. And it has been invalidated countless times with all the major mutual funds going bust. I’d

Thats a fair assumption. But I did skim to the part that attempted to address non-normality—it doesn’t. Under non-normality, not a single formula in this post holds (“standard deviation” does not exist).

I am sorry for being rude and dismissive. My goal was not to hurt you (you are obviously learning, and I respect you for that), but to warn others who might think these ideas are reasonable and lose money as a result.

Wow, I couldn't even get myself to finish reading this article. This is based on a very dangerous, ignorant understanding of how markets work. Whatever "advice" there is, please ignore it.

Finally created my HN account to post this comment :). Just wanted to share. I am an owner of a small IT business. We've been using Asana as our project management system for about 2 years, almost from the beginning of our company. I l
