This is in consideration of people who may be displaced due to COVID-19's impact on jobs.

Why are there so many acronyms like AFAIK or OTOH? What do people do with all the free time they save from abbreviating as such? :P

Somewhat related but: has anyone heard of/ used the Brave browser?

What is UA sniffing mean in this context? :)

I will have one browser window open, but in my task manager will have like 17 concurrent chrome processes running, slowing things down so much. I understand there are certain things running in the background but it is extremely hard to close out of certain tasks and stop plugins without terminating my entire browsing session.

Doing repetitive/ tasks is excruciating unless I am doing it for something I care about (i.e. a start up idea or project of my own). If I know I'm doing something for "the man" or something I don't have equity in it gets really bad.

I am so tired of generic Tech Crunch articles like this that add no new/ meaningful information.

Also, kind of depends on the goals of the start up. Not all want a big exit after several series of funding. Others are looking for some scaling, consistent cashflows, etc.

Re:Ask HN: How do you learn complex, dense technical information? on Friday February 14, 2020 @12:52PM (#22328529)

I would be curious as to any techniques you used to overcome this painful regular learning. I find certain 'plain' tasks (for lack of a better word) excruciating.

Additionally, the trick is to diversify away the idiosyncratic risk so that all that is left is systematic risk (risk common to all stocks that is unavoidable). One does this by picking stocks that are oppositely correlated so that volatility (aka risk which is measured through variance/ st. dev) is canceled out. The more stocks added to a portfolio, the more the idiosyncratic risk is diversified away; this is called holding the market portfolio.
