What do you wish you had done in the last five years? What have you done that was amazing?

An interesting question here is how did Microsoft's systems get compromised such that their source code was leaked?

This is not my product. I am just hoping some of the HN community might find this helpful in a future project.

Possibly they did not want the attention of the legal departments at two very large companies given they developed GUIs that look very similar to their IP?

What would you add to this list?

Why do you prefer face to face interactions over phone calls?

"My 13 year-old just updated her iPad’s system software and told me she had to read some really long thing before she could continue. She. Read. The. EULA" quote from Twitter

I understand M1 includes the most liquid portions of the money supply in circulation. When the Fed "prints" money I don't think they are talking about physical money.

Can someone explain what this graph tells us?

As I understand the situation from the article, Revlon is not a party to the case. It is therefore irrelevant if Revlon becomes bankrupt. Clawback provisions would not extend to a transaction between Brigade and CitiBank. IANAL

If the scientists had asked someone who knew Excel well, then they would have been told to prevent autocorrect from running enter ’MARCH1 with the apostrophe at the start.

Turns out it works in Safari too.

Nice one. I extended that idea by adding it to my favourites so I don't have to type it each time.

I use that functionality everyday without thinking about it.

No this is not an joke. The videos are inconclusive but do open up more questions than they purport to answer.

I am confused. This article is very positive about DE Shaw. Nonetheless, it says DE Shaw is a "$47 billion firm [assets underlying management (AUM)], earning its investors more than $25 billion". That is a return of 53% which sounds good until you consider the firm was started 32 years ago - at which point the compound interest rate is less than 1% a year. I realise the AUM has likely grown over time, but this rate of return is less than inflation at a time when the market has grown considerably. This is a negative return while, per the article, many employees have become millionaires and Shaw himself a multi billionaire. From the article it appears that DE Shaw is good at is attracting assets underlying management and paying themselves well without providing value to their customers. What have I missed?

This is hard to answer without more context. For example: where in the world do you live, do you have a family or other dependents, are you employed, if so what, do you have any other sources of income, how old are you, what is your tolerance for risk, what is your IQ & EQ level etc. A good financial advisor would take all of these things into account before giving advice.

In July 2010, tens of thousands of people picked up their cameras and followed a simple invitation: show what your day looks like. 80,000+ clips were submitted from 189 countries. This is now being repeated for 2020.

An positive example of how passionate founders operated to serve both shareholders and the wider community comes to an unexpected end.

For me, the order of the list and some of the details were a surprise. For example I did not appreciate that even "small bouts of violence" can have a "huge impact" on a community.

Found on Azeem Azhar's Twitter feed, it is a journey from the 1980's.

Yeah, it is gold.

Awesome. Thanks Macie
