org-mode: once you learn the basics it’s quick to add new tasks, quick to change the timeline, and easy to add recurring tasks. You won’t outgrow it: there is a lot of flexibility for adopting to more complex workflows. The negative is that

Well actually this analysis by White & Case of the same case[1], seems to suggest that it may not be (paragraph “impact on businesses”) personal data if the business has no means of linking the addresses to users. [1] https:/&#x2F

If I can make a connection between an IP address and a person, yes then it is personal data, no doubt.

To be clear, I am only talking about the interpretation of the regulation, not my own considerations. The article made it sound like IP addresses are always personal data. My point is that, if I run a website and keep generic nginx log file

I’m not convinced IP addresses are automatically personal data. Granted, they CAN be personal data, if they can be linked to a specific person. But assuming I just keep generic log files, and that I would not in a subject access request be

I love Python. The language is a joy, the eco system is fantastic. But yes, let’s be honest, if you can not vectorise your code it is slow, and I think that will be its downfall eventually. I’m excited about Julia, I hope it gains popularit

Not much. I hardly know emacs (would love to learn more though...) and am using sublime as my editor, but have learnt just a few shortcuts to be productive in orgmode. Currently I run emacs just for my orgmode tasks and org-agenda which is

Nice! Congrats on shipping. Any particular reason it's tied closely together with sqlite rather sqlalchemy which could potentially enable a range of backends? I guess to ensure immutability?

Nonsense. London is a net taxpayer for the UK [1], hence the periodical discussion of establishing an independent city state (which will not happen IMO). Instead of being jealous of London, the rest of the UK would be better off realising t

There's a lot of risk if he does not deliver. On the other hand, if he is the real deal he could be very valuable, so I think you'd be much better off offering him a generous revenue sharing agreement on the actual business he bri

Payment processors are wary of these types of setups because of the money laundry risks. In addition, fyi - this sounds like "social money"/e-money, which may be a regulated activity depending on setup and where you are.

I struggle to see why that is a problem? You will need to rebalance the portfolio, yes.

If that is the case, how do you explain that there are ETFs tracking the index? E.g. http://www.etf.com/DIA

by ptype 10y ago
Surely this is (ignoring transaction costs) reflected in the index performance already. If you sell and buy at the time (and price) of the index you will match the performance. This is not unique to DJIA by the way.

by ptype 10y ago
Yes, so you should not allocate the $400 equally across the shares to match the performance of the index. You should buy an equal number of shares of each stock. It may not be a greatly constructed index by modern standards but to my unders

This is the case of most market cap indices. There is no problem with that unless the history is revised. You could replicate the same performance in your own stock account. (Not sure what you mean by "without realising losses"?)

Your claims of cherry-picking are nonsense. I have picked a few examples to support my argument of deteriorating journalistic quality. Aftonbladet and GP are mainstream newspapers. GP is not right wing by international standards. For intern

If you read my post again, you will see that I did not actually say that the Swedish intellectuals (for the lack of a better term) are not reading DN, just that DN has lost a lost of credibility. It is my observation that this is becoming m

I was on my phone earlier. DN under Wolodarski has received a lot of criticism, which I suspect you are actually aware of. Please find a few examples below. Aftonbladet: Journalists question the truthfulness of a series of DN's article
