While you may know the guy better, notice this Druck comment comes at a time when the long term buy-and-hold thinking is at its weakest point. A slightly respectable guru saying this sort of things is enough to make some people sell.

This is the best comment in all. HN folks don't understand the purpose of this article. You think Druckenmiller is so bearish? for the next 30 yrs? Not a chance. He must have a huge short position on the S&P500, and he likes you to sell your stocks so he could cover at a lower level.

I heard this so many times. These goddamn CEOs are so myopic; all they care is next quarter's earnings. After the fall of every megacap, tech or otherwise (recently GE), someone always blames them for short sightedness. Is that really? Well, many CEOs of many huge corporations just plan for the next quarter, and they seem to be doing just fine.

To rephrase the famous quote attributed to G. Box,

`All languages are wrong, some are useful.`

And R is one of them.

I used to cringe whenever I see a prompt to upgrade driver. But it's getting better. Version 460.39 hasn't caused any pain so far.

When a product originates from China, it must be full of spyware. Let's don't even question whether that's true or even reasonable. Then imagine one day, China's scientists invented a new semiconductor, a new material to make chip, or a new technological product that's order of magnitude better than everything out there.

My question: are you going to avoid it like the plague; don't buy anything made of it, which may be in a lot of the things you touch. Btw, that's not very far-fetched, judging from the number of breakthrough research coming out of that country.

Title is totally misleading. I use Rstudio, which is an IDE, and there's none of those "terrible" features in Copilet. Does it make my code terrible?

I wonder if the site is down because of the interest from folks on HN?!

I'm stunned why this comment is downvoted. It's exactly what's happening in US relationship with China.

WSJ has a link to its digital archive, which only goes back to May 1996. And unfortunately it doesn't have API so getting articles out of site for NLP is a pain. Let me know if you have code for that. I'm working on something similar
