Just wanted to note that the "elementary school" comment in the original post rang true with me. When I was learning OOP, my first program was literally about animals (cows, chicken, sheep) making sounds. A cow says "Moo", a sheep says "Baa", a chicken says "Cluck-cluck", an Animal says "Error: this method shouldn't be executing" or something.
I grew up in a culture where it was normal to hit kids. But my parents never hit me. I was just as bad as any other kid in the block. What that taught me is that love and affection are far more powerful than fear. I've never hit my kids and I never will. Every time they do something that makes me really angry, I think of my parents. It's not ok to hit anyone. There's never a valid reason. Most of the time it's your weakness in action.

There are people selling food from vehicles or similar in many European cities.

They need a licence.

I once reported the man selling ice cream from the street outside my office for leaving his engine running, the fumes were coming inside our office. The police arrested him, and siezed the vehicle, since it turned out he didn't have a license, and had previously been given a warning.

One thing I have always hated about languages that tout easy C interop is the fact that you have to declare the C function first. A lot of C libraries e.g. Guile uses all sorts of Makefile hacks that makes it impossible, not to mention extremely time consuming to write a function declaration. Things would be so much easier if languages can implement something like Julia's ccall or a similar mechanism to allow direct calling of C libraries without any for of headers or wrapping.
I agree than one has greater positive obligations towards one's community, with the degree of obligation decreasing with the size of the community. However, one also has certain negative obligations against strangers. For instance, there is a strong presumption in favor of a stranger's right to not be killed by you. This is just a presumption which can be over-ridden say in self-defense.

Similarly two strangers have the presumptive right to associate with each other (as employer-employee or tenant-landlord). Do you agree that there is such a presumption? If there is, what if your view is the needed to overcome this presumption?

This analogy has its limitations but let's go with it a small way.

Everyone has the choice to copy who they think is smart or write their own answer.

Each person compares the expected value of writing their own answer with copying whoever they think is smart.

Some win, some lose. As it gets harder to work out who is smart yet everyone is copying, beating that average becomes easier. That proportion of the class who are capable of beating that average have an incentive to try it.

Stock picking has been massively overvalued for a long time. The costs people have paid for that value have been far too high. The index wins because it is /cheap/, the costs of investing in the index are low. As the market is now adjusting to that mispricing, among those stock pickers who can actually do it, there will be some good opportunities. Stock picking, whether buy someone like Buffet, or by an algo shop or whatever isn't going to go away. Every time the market is mispriced there's an opportunity. Price will end up somewhere close to value in the long run. It's amazing that with index funds it took so very long to happen. Malkiel pointed it out pretty clearly in a popular book that hasn't been out of print since, what, 40+ years ago. It's great, everyone should read it for its market insights, especially if you want to pick stocks.

I don't see it as a pessimistic view. Any employer committed to rewarding people for their value shouldn't need to rely on an omnipresent threat of deportation. I see myself as optimistic that such employers do exist, and should be happy to both recruit such foreign workers to US shores, and happy to poach them from other US firms.

Free movement between employers would likely free up only places like Wipro, Tata and the like, whose business models appear to rely on disparity of pay.

When you buy an ETF, you don't buy a newly issued cupon. You buy it from another market participant on an exchange - hence Exchange traded fund. What you're describing is closer to classic mutual fund. Each ETF will have "Authorized Participants" who make sure that the ETF mirrors the underlying assets.
It's meant Computer RPG to me (as opposed to pen+paper RPG).
I just thought of an easier (and probably achievable) thought experiment.

Imagine a fighter jet flying circles around an airliner as it follows it along - with the fighter pilot flying at just the right radius and speed that it's accelerating at 1 gee for the turn (so they'd be "feeling" 2 gee as they pass under the airliner, and zero gee as they loop over the top of the airliner) using a helical "barrel roll" path - and at the same time "keeping up" with the airliner along it's path, so if you were sitting in the airliner looking out it'd look like the fighter was flying circles around the long axis of the fuselage.

Now imagine the fighter pilot does the same trick following the vomit comet - as it flies its parabolic arcs which gives it's occupants 20-30 secs or so of "zero gee".

I'm fascinated at how Vanguard's essential idea plays out over the long term.

The basic value proposition seems to be that Wall Street is extracting more value in fees than they're making in smart stock picks. Which thus far has been pretty accurate, but is the contribution of stock pickers actually zero? Is it negative? Where do we reach a fixpoint, and how? Do the stock pickers, clever scamps that they are, figure out a way to take advantage of the Bogleheads and their naivete? Are they already doing so? Is this going to turn the stock market into just one big house of cards?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I absolutely buy that Wall Street is a bunch of crooks-- it's a hell of a lot easier to extract fees from your customers than it is to beat a market full of highly motivated Ivy Leauge MBAs. But where does it stop? If I've seen any trends in the financial markets, it's that every good idea will eventually be flogged to death, usually with catastrophic results.

>Many sex workers have little choice

But some do, why would you take away their ability to make money? Do you think they'll thank you for taking away their livelihood?

> It also legitimises sex as a labour asset, increasing gender inequality

The vast majority of sex workers are female, meaning there is a much smaller market for males and so it is more difficult for them to make money. Is that what you meant by inequality? In any case, why shouldn't sex be a labor asset? This goes back to my original comment - what DO you have against female autonomy?
Same here. I remember seeing it when I first heard D&D RPGs on the computer, the 'C' distinguishing it from pen & paper (PnP?).
This doesn't answer your question directly, but Matt Levine has written some great articles, in particular, about index funds and their effect on the market.

Here's one: [1]

"Second: One of my little stock-market obsessions is that index funds free-ride on the work done by active investors. Someone needs to make decisions that allocate capital to businesses. A world in which everyone indexes, and in which no one thinks that active managers should be able to charge for their services, is a world that will spend too little time and effort on allocating capital to the right businesses. That's not the world we live in: A lot of people still actively work to allocate capital..."

This is a crazy good article! I've always been fascinated by my recent inability to learn new programming languages and concepts and I believe it could be due to the concept expounded in Lee's article: no short-term memory building, no long-term recall.

I doubt I've suffered minor strokes but I think our lives simulate strokes on the short term memory recall by sheer overwhelming schedules and commitments. Our daily schedules are possibly a simulator of short term memory recall impairment.

Inter-Microservice Communication Fatigue [in Java]
Authorized participants (APs) exist for all ETFs. their purpose is to make sure that the ETF mirrors the underlying assets, and to provide liquidity.

Consider a ETF that consists of a single stock. IF the stock drops, the AP will lower its Bid/offer spread, and force the ETF down to the same level as the stock. But as this is a reaction to the stock falling, there is going to be a lag between the stock falling, and the ETF falling. This doesn't mean that you can sell the ETF at a higher price, necessarily.

"'Undercover lays bare the deceit, betrayal and cold-blooded violation practised again and again by undercover police officers - troubling, timely and brilliantly executed.' Henry Porter

The gripping stories of a group of police spies - written by the award-winning investigative journalists who exposed the Mark Kennedy scandal - and the uncovering of forty years of state espionage.

This was an undercover operation so secret that some of our most senior police officers had no idea it existed. The job of the clandestine unit was to monitor British 'subversives' - environmental activists, anti-racist groups, animal rights campaigners.

Police stole the identities of dead people to create fake passports, driving licences and bank accounts. They then went deep undercover for years, inventing whole new lives so that they could live incognito among the people they were spying on.

They used sex, intimate relationships and drugs to build their credibility. They betrayed friends, deceived lovers, even fathered children. And their operations continue today.

Undercover reveals the truth about secret police operations - the emotional turmoil, the psychological challenges and the human cost of a lifetime of deception - and asks whether such tactics can ever be justified."

I've read people who theorise that as index funds grow larger their shortcomings increases the rewards for more active traders who now have more opportunities available that aren't being taken advantage of by those index funds, no matter how closely and quickly they track a given index. Presumably that theory would lead to some equilibrium between the two investing styles.

The term was a lot more common in the '80s and '90s. Back then, certainly in the '80s, "RPG" meant tabletop RPGs. Hence, "CRPG" (computer RPG) was needed as a separate term.

Also, in the '80s, computer RPGs were much more directly inspired by tabletop RPGs. Now video game RPGs are their own genre(s), mostly disconnected from the pen and paper games that inspired the first few generations of video games.

this isn't how ETFs work at all

have a read about the ETF redemption mechanism[1]: it is almost the exact opposite to the way mutual funds work (which is what you have described)

More anecdotes. Living here for almost 4 years, only time I've gotten sick was at a 5-star resort in their restaurant.
With index funds so big, who determines prices? An index fund tied to the S&P 500 just buys stocks in the proportion that they're in the S&P 500. The price of the stock plays no role in that decision. At some point, this has to create problems, but so far it hasn't. It does mean the active traders, who are basically moving the same money around all day, have an outsized influence on prices.

Index funds are so successful because managed stock funds, as a class, underperform the market indices. So do hedge funds, which are a net lose for their investors. People are finally aware that Wall Street's stock pickers mostly aren't very good.
I find the notion of business "self regulating" to be no more or less absurd for AirBnb than I would an oil or coal company. Of course I understand why they'd make the argument, I just can't fathom who would believe them here in the 21st century.
You're absolutely right, it does have its limitations, and they show in the issues you raised with it in a way that doesn't actually apply to the nature of the analogy as it criticises the original situation under examination. The nature of indexing is such that it's treated by practitioners as if it were an "objectively correct" (and obvious, no question about where the volume is flowing, the numbers are right there.) answer to the correct investment allocation, so it isn't actually so much the case that there are people just copying random other picks because they like their haircut or it's a popularity contest or whatever (although I suppose you can still make the argument that you're making some kind of decision in an index based on which index fund you're allocating your investment to, but even there you could take a no favourites approach by indexing index funds.)

The core point I was trying to make though is that the market is efficient in net across a great variety of actors all making their own judgement with regards to how much a given thing is worth because it's assigning so many eyeballs and independent evaluations to the pricing question for a given item.

When you swap that out and replace it with a system in which n% of the trade volume is just copying the rest of the trade volume, that reason applies inversely proportional to the volume that such indexing takes place, until a market with just one guy calling all the shots and everyone else indexing him may as well just be centrally planned, and thus afflicted with all the heinous cancers thereof.

Your point about the deleterious effects of the above also simultaneously lowering the bar on the challenge of beating the average though is something I hadn't thought of, and is completely correct. I guess that is how indexing would collapse when you got to some state where the market was mostly just ignorantly following the tiny minority of organic judgement being exercised, and that tiny minority turns out to be inadequate. The market then recovers by stock picking once again being conducted by specialists, and as you say, this would be a situation wherein stock picking was massively undervalued, as opposed to the (maybe present?) situation where it was massively overvalued.

Thanks for the book reference, I'll definitely check it out.

This is a fascinating perspective, thank you for sharing.
I'm crossing my fingers for the ol invisible hand evening this whole thing out-- Wall Street takes a haircut on fees until they reach pricing equilibrium. It's not like financial analysts are without value. I just don't know if they deliver the value they extract. Bogle made a pretty compelling argument that they do not.

Is there a doomsday scenario, haha?
Like Github Pages? If so, then Yes. Good idea.
This is an absolutely crucial point that is not discussed nearly enough in the context of passive investing. Thanks for the link, I didn't know Matt Levine had stated it so eloquently already.

A tangentially related point is that membership in e.g. the S&P500 imparts a big financial advantage to companies for a somewhat arbitrary reason, due to passive investing.
