Another NYTimes article on this phenomenon

The murder charges were also mentioned during the appeal. IANAL but listening to it sounds like it played a role in denying his appeal.

I realize it's a controversial topic, but I would welcome a bot that posts outline links to paywalled content.

Usually someone posts a link anyway so it would not make much a difference.


Does Betteridge's law of headlines apply here?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...


Betteridge’s law always applies - and whenever you bring it up in HN comments you invariably get downvoted.


Probably because it's predictable and therefore boring. Most people got the message about Betteridge years ago and headline writers generally avoid it. It's no longer the kind of problem that needs to be called out every single time it appears.


The amount of censorship on Reddit by moderators for arbitrary reasons, completely defeats the purpose of having community-controlled content.

Arbitrary, or to secure investment

Reddit used censorship, its super effective! +++++$300,000,000


Same for me with the car dealerships. I've never owned a car or even ever contacted a dealership before. My guess is maybe car rental companies are selling the data to dealerships, since they would be gathering email + phone and car-renters would be targets for car-sellers.


I've never owned or rented a car, contacted a dealership, or ever had a license, but my list is almost completely car dealerships. I'm beginning to suspect my state's DMV, where I got my state ID.


The DMV sells its data too.


Cross platform

  echo Z3JlZ0Bhc3NldG1hcHBpbmcuY29tCg== | perl -MMIME::Base64 -pe 's/(.+)/decode_base64($1)/e'


Thank you :-) We are (mostly) python house on the back-end so I might use python instead of perl but I like the approach you suggested.


Well, since you mentioned Docker:

    echo Z3JlZ0Bhc3NldG1hcHBpbmcuY29tCg== | docker run -i busybox base64 -d
Edit: Yes, I'm piping your email address through an operating system image I just downloaded from the internet and, to be honest, I feel quite badly about this. :(


  >>> import base64

  >>> email = "Z3JlZ0Bhc3NldG1hcHBpbmcuY29tCg=="

  >>> print(base64.b64decode(email).decode('utf-8'))


Past performance is not indicative of future results.


Then why do people say "invest in the stock market for the long run by buying an index fund?"


> Then why do people say "invest in the stock market for the long run by buying an index fund?"

Because the American economy has historically grown. Buying an index of Austrian stocks on the eve of WWI would have been about as effective as buying cryptocurrencies.


Considering that US is getting into debt on an accelerated schedule and runs wars all over the world non-stop since WW2, and has biggest military budget, and otherwise resembles the roman empire at its peak, do you think that musical chairs game will never end?


IOW, taking past performance as indicative of future returns.


Because of minimizing risk, and minimizing transaction fees.

If you buy 100 stocks and 10 of them go to 0 you are out 10%. However, if the other 90 stocks are up more than 15% then you have gained a little money.

But, if you buy 100 different stocks by hand then you pay 100 different transaction fees and have to keep track of them independently for tax etc.


I'm pretty sure you still need to pay taxes on the dividends even if you're reinvesting them.


Sorry, your right.

There are tax advantages, but it's more complex than simply not paying short term capital gains on dividends.


If it's an IRA, there's no tax unless withdrawing.


Because over time, stocks tend to increase in value, because you are investing in a company that is producing something of value. You have a reason to believe that stocks will increase in value over a long period of time, other than just historical information.


Because the fees are the lowest and it's been proven over and over again that the number 1 headwind against long-term equity growth is the fee structure.

Index funds require no special knowledge to build...just buy the S&P100 stocks in equal amounts and boom, so the fees for such a fund can be super low.


Amazingly only one of the three replies you got so far understood the point of your comparison.


Past performance doesn't guarantee similar future results.

If you think it's not indicative, then you're rejecting induction, the cornerstone of learning.


Is there support planned for using this in combination with docker-compose? If so would be sweet to see this integrated with Prisma - https://www.prisma.io/
