Yeah, if you follow conventional wisdom. Which works, until it doesn't. Most likely you're guaranteed to lose purchasing value on a ten year note right now with a yield of 2.264%. Unless you really think inflation is going to be below that over the same time span. The US can't pay its debts without money printing. Between money printing and default, neither makes a 10 year note a great investment at this time. And the dollar won't be the world reserve currency forever.
Uncertainty goes both ways. I never thought of it this way until reading this interesting blog post. Companies don't know how good the worker really is, either.
It's amazing we are still paying for algebra and physics books.
Nothing amazing about it. It's a system set up by academic boards and educational publishers. Because there's too much money in education up for grabs to those who know how to game the system.
It's probably a lot like the digital TV thing the FCC pushed, where they had a financial stake as individuals in companies poised to benefit from the new regulations. Surely Michael Powell or someone like him is invested in a company which is getting ready to offer part of the "solution".
I probably would be considered more of a Morlock by most people, really, as I'm simply not ready to hand over control of energy markets to collectivist political entities, even though I think there's probably a degree of truth to AGW theory (though the degree to which it's true I am uncertain). I guess I should check my privilege. Or something. Will you please excuse me, I have women and minorities to oppress now.
It seems like finding people with autism to act as advocates and leaders would be difficult; to the point you're probably the only well known person in that role. Do you have a community of peers with autism who help you advocate, or is much of your support from neurotypical people? Is this even a problem the autistic community faces?
As you've gained success professionally, how have your coping skills had to change? Is it harder or easier now to deal with the stresses of a very public life vs. when you were a relatively anonymous student? Do we have a model yet for the progression of adaptive skills development for people with autism, or is it highly variable at the individual level?
If it stays still (instead of strafing runs), and is close enough to be accurate with a firearm, it's close enough to be taken down with a shotgun. Now granted, I don't think lugging a shotgun around 24/7 is practical, but if I'm home and I see a drone hanging around my property, I'll certainly take a look, and if it shoots, I'm shooting back. And at that point I'm well justified in most places in the USA to do so (except maybe CA, NJ, and the cities DC and NYC).
What is the concern with "drone" about this? Am I nuts for thinking this had to be done in the past with a traditional helicopter or RC airplane? Is it just the "drone" is more of a consumer good/easy to fly compared to traditional old-school R/C stuff?
Well-documented/commented code is the hallmark of profressional, old school programmers who started off right and stay right.
Yes, I agree. I was pointing out that there are lots of unprofessional assholes out there who refuse to document because they started off wrong and stayed wrong.
The best comments explain the "why", such as "this is an arbitrary business rule Joe asked for so a salesman could close a contract and get a BMW. Yes, it breaks the flexibility of the architecture and will never be fixed."
Exactly. Yes, a vastly higher percentage of failures on modern cars are unlikely to be readily fixed by a handy owner. At the same time it is certain to be true that the absolute number of breakdowns is vastly lower, because they are so much more reliable overall.
We don't need categories. All these situations are voluntary and should be handled by contract. Stop creating regulations that make it harder for people to get a little income.

What is the real estimated return on 10 year notes held to maturity right now?
I'd be really interested in a multiple-currency exchange. Also, why are you getting downmodded "overrated" for an interesting question?
It's usually largely in the hands of organized crime, and has been since the Nixon-Kennedy election
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
No, MSG is supposed to be the umami flavor.
Ever see GlassDoor? Seems like a great idea.

You gonna eat that?

false dichotomy
No false dichotomy. Those two groups will engage in said behavior. He didn't exclude reasoned conversation among more moderate groups.

Redistribution of wealth is inevitable. The only question is if you want it done in a controlled, orderly fashion (socialism) or by violence.
Please tell me how you enforce socialism's orderly redistribution. I'm going to answer my question: violence.
When did I say it was Perl's fault?

Some coders love to never document, always fearful someone may come along behind them.
FTFY.
Might be. I wonder if the CIA/DOD/executive branch folks who helped armed ISIS are also on a list like that.

Looks like a good excuse to waste time with our friends at Tosche station!
