Wow. This is amazingly innovative and scary. The "flexible" mechanism could unwittingly lead to very high APRs. That they get the money before it gets deposited to your bank account (and used for other expenses or withdrawn prior

Exactly. The article, starting with the title, is pompous and overconfident. Burry made the unanswered point that in a sell-off large index funds will have to dump their smaller holdings at large discounts. We have never had a market crash

Speaking to the business model, in my midwestern city a few coworking spaces popped up only to go broke within a few years. The only one to last is funded by VCs and mostly as their incubator. That VC one is thriving because the rents are h

I've tried exactly that. Most of what I got back was questioned looks followed by something like, "you mean where do I work?" Maybe I'm around different people.

As a small-timer I don't think I'll ever cloud up. Managing a few servers isn't too bad, is easy to maintain (from both a developer and "dev-ops" standpoint).The cloud abstractions would have been great before Ubunt

My (naive?) view is that Nginx caches static files by default after the first hit so the inconvenience isn't worth it in my web apps. Would I really see an improvement switching to a SQLite-esque file system?

I had the same thought before seeing how excited many of the commenters here are about it! I guess the market exists and we're just not in it.

Their notification was fine. The tweet was vile and full of expletives. You'll have trouble finding any business or institution that tolerates speech like that. This isn't the censorship hill anyone should want to die on.

"Why go public if you literally say you won't make money?" Because you can get rewarded heavily for it. They have $88 million in working capital as of June 30, 2019 and are on track to lose another $40 million before the en

I'm not sure that's any safer. It should protect you from the automated prompt-response systems, where an absolute match is required. But call-center workers see those answers in plaintext. Eventually an attacker will probably rea

Another short, controversial news article with plenty of possibly good points but no actual data. For instance, home ownership is down? Okay, tell me how much and in what areas. Is it mostly densely populated areas that are running out of s

QE is unprecedented. If you look at the absolute yields, we're talking about rates below inflation (1.8%). It's an inversion but the magnitude is so low it's hard to compare it to past inversions. Equity valuations are pret

Oh wow. At some point I've thrown up my hands and just used Pcg64 because people I trust but can't possibly verify recommended it. Your post reaffirms that that was the right decision (trusting others).

The paper extrapolates from its survey questions about developer time to loss profitability so I think it's fair to discuss risk as more than just developer time. Even so, the developer time risk of poorly maintained packages i

npm is full of packages (developer tools and libraries in general) popular with developers but that carry enormous risks-- like short support cycles, breaking changes, security issues, packages that themselves depend on packages with simila

I'm not in the cryptography or random space beyond using libraries, but these visualizations are very clever. It's easy to see major problems. edit: It shows small-periods but otherwise it's not all that useful (see below).

Doesn't pass the sniff test. By developer use, npm, for all of its security issues and orphan packages is the most successful package ecosystem of all time.

FYI, even if you had broken your finger the treatment is almost always splinting and time. Most doctors wouldn't do an x-ray or a vibrating test. Does it hurt? Splint it, come back in a week. Next.

Very few people would happily train someone to take their job. And, some of those people will be vocal about it. The midlevels do the same thing in reverse. It's a stretch to extrapolate this to all "providers" and call that
