I've been somewhat out of the Clojurescript loop recently, but this looks conceptually a lot like the om.next model ("colocated queries").

Makes me curious how many people are using om.next in anger. It's always seemed like a good idea (and now with some extra endorsement for the core principle), but judging by GitHub activity (which I realise isn't a perfect measure), the project seems to have rather lost momentum.

So then one possible course of action in case of post-boarding overbooking would be free drinks until enough passengers are sufficiently drunk to be removed? One more for the endless list of less bad things that could have been done instead at the United incident.
Another effect is over-valuing of stocks with sufficiently high caps to enter the index being tracked.

(A similar already occurs with huge institutional investors (e.g. retirement fund managers) that have too much money to invest to worry about small caps - Warren Bufett also has this first-world problem. Yet another similar effect occurs through bigger caps getting more publicity, so more people invest in them, disproportionately driving up the price.)

The result is smaller caps become more attractive (to small investors). Which results in greater investment in them - but only up to the point allowed by the above effects. So the undervaluing persists.

Kinda similar to tiny startups finding tiny markets attractive, that aren't worth it for incumbent to pursue.
What I care about is the return for our customers, we could call this profitability.

Well, you could call it that, but it's not what the word means. In the penultimate paragraph you talk about cost-effectiveness - I'd stick to that word instead.
If you know about politics, this is what it takes: a person on the leader's position would use anything and any way he can to keep his authority/position stable --- this is not happening just in DC but in enterprises too. As Larry etc formed Alphabet while tossing Google to Pichai, the latter's power has already been weakened by the former everyday. The fact is that as Google as well as other large companies in silicon valley is more and more occupied by Eastern Indian works, the quality control of products has therefore gone into toilet since their culture, while turning to be the majority, is to seek atomic survival by exploitation of extrinsic achievement instead of improving intrinsic value of products. Office politics has been never more severe since then and now it's difficult and exhausting for Pichai to maintain his position by dodging countless number of traps created by themselves. He would then like to do anything to keep himself up --- or else being destroyed --- even if it means to set the product quality back to a century before, to bind the will of midlevel managers to support himself.

And that is why the products goes back to as evil as IE, simply because no one could care less.

> by financial metrics.

There are three stakeholders in any company:

* The owners (stockholders)

* Employees

* Customers

When a company makes profit (eg, they manufacture a mattress for $500 thats worth $1000), the profit is divided between those three groups of people. How the money gets divided depends on the relative power those groups hold.

- In a market with lots of competition, the price goes down and the customers get a windfall through cheaper products

- When there's not enough supply of labour (like in software), the employees can demanding higher wages, better working conditions or shorter hours

- And otherwise, usually the owners get the profits.

The easiest metric of a company is to evaluate profit to shareholders. Thats not what coops are trying to optimize for. Instead they want a high quality of life for their employees. So I would expect you would see coops rated poorly, even when they're functioning (for their employees) very well.
> When prostitution is illegal, they are not able to receive the protection of society and the police

I always thought the Swedish approach was pragmatic. Prostitution isn't illegal, but purchasing sexual services is. So the prostitutes have nothing to fear, only the johns.
We're getting paid high dollar amounts while Silicon Valley is in boom, but the fact that they're contingent on appearing daily in Bay Area offices means the long-term stability of home ownership is off the table for us. And with booms come busts: many of us work for companies that hemorrhage investor cash.

Even if your present employer is stable, it seems likely that tens of thousands of us will be competing with you for your next job, and bidding down its wages.

In making high-dollar salaries, we're doing better than most, but don't confuse $150k Senior Engineer positions for 25-year-olds at 5-year-old companies with long-term stability.
If that was the implication, then I agree with it. But this exact discussion is what's missing in the whole H1B debate.

To get the equivalent of a total stock market index, you'd need a lot of capital and would spend a lot on trading fees. There are other issues like re-investing dividends, re-balancing, IPOs/bankruptcies, taxes, etc. Also, Vanguard is structured as a mutual company, so fees only pay for costs. The fees are really low too: a 10,000$ investment in VOO (S&P 500 ETF) would only cost you about 5$/year.

I actually opened a Vanguard account a few months ago after reading "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" by Burton Gordon Malkiel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Random_Walk_Down_Wall_Street). I recommend it if you are interested in learning more about investing and ETFs.
Mn is manganese, not magnesium (Mg).
1. Most of the people just want to set their allocation and no think about it more than a few times a year.

2. Without Vanguard(and other index funds), you do not quality for admiral shares.

3. Vanguard's fees are among the lowest(last time i checked it was between 0.1-0.5%). There is no charge for buying and selling Vanguard funds.

4. Vanguard is non-profit.

I have to be honest, this is an emotion I'm not entirely familiar with.

I totally get rejection, I've been rejected for all sorts of things, but normally for rejection I can understand on some level why.

This I don't get. Not only are we applying with a company that fits with an RFS, not only is our team really solid, not only is concept proven, but we have a possibility to do real social good that both makes money and helps people.

Even in talking to other people, the reaction was either "why are you even doing YC" or "Sheesh I'm embarassed to by applying next to you". I know that sounds really arrogant, and Im sorry for sounding like that. I'm just...confused, I guess? I really wish that the applications came with a reason why they were rejected, even if it was one sentence.

I can't honestly believe that typing a one sentence "rejection for reason" would take that much extra time. Even a drop down of "we rejected you for this one of the following 5 canned reasons" (your team was bad, your idea was bad, you have no revenue, etc.) would be helpful.

Is it because my cofounder is from another country? Or because we don't live in the bay area?

I seriously do not understand this. I know that sounds a little bit whiney, but it's just frustrating to have put this much emotional investment into something[1] and to get rejected for it without even a brief explanation of why.

[1]: For people that don't live in the bay, applying to this program is a big deal. I skipped out on events next week because we might have to block out time for an interview, I moved things around this week specifically so that I could schedule an interview if possible, I moved things around this summer so that if I needed to be in SF I could etc.

I get not counting your chickens and all of that, I don't think we did. Nothing is lost for us here, and moving events and things around isn't a big deal, obviously that is just part of doing business. It is just frustrating to get a rejection email that doesn't even include a few seconds explaining why.

Forever onward, obviously. It just really sucks not having feedback on why you were rejected.
This is a interesting point. For some reason there is a huge market of books, magazines and apps offering restaurant recommendations and people are very eager to recommend their favorites in conversations. The same doesn't seem to happen for airlines. Not sure why that is. Maybe we can fix that.

I do occasionally hear praise for Soutwest which I personally dislike because their boarding process makes me sort anxious. But then I hardly ever have them as a choice anyway. Maybe we less talk about our favorite airlines because there is little actual choice?
You don't get to interact, learn with, and work with them. They separate themselves from you. They speak their own language, which isn't easy to learn. They don't celebrate your holidays, either national or religious. Since they are likely leaving the country, neither professional nor romantic relationships are likely to be viable. Half of the ones from India even sort of despise you based on religion.

So in a classroom, you and they may occupy chairs, but to each it's like the other people might as well not be there. This puts you farther from the front of the class and gives you less time to interact with the instructor, but you gain nothing for your loss. The hallways are more crowded, but with fewer people you know. It's the same in the cafeteria, where you might want to meet people. The dating scene is cut in half, assuming 50% non-American.

It's upvoted because it's HN's current favorite holy war. "Front-end development is out of control" is something everyone has an opinion about, in a way that the announcement of React Fiber isn't.

That doesn't mean the same debate needs to be re-litigated every two days. Occasionally would be fine, but when it happens in every tangentially related thread it sucks the oxygen out of everything else.

I have experienced the exact opposite. Its rare to find a 'millenial' that truly believes they're going to get that dream job. If anything, they know they'll be working retail for a long time, and maybe they might get something they like better, but the jobs and lives that they looked up to when they were young are quite far away.

Its the parents and age 40+ that think everything will just 'work out' for them, because they're 'hard workers', who are themselves stuck in manual labor/retail and do not have any career or education outside of that. They ignore job trends and stick to what they've been doing, then cry when they're retired after 5-8 years of working there, scapegoating with leftist politics and 'millenials who don't know anything.'. Even my own parents succumbed to that one. If I had my own kids, I would tell them that things /will/ work out for them, if they put in the effort, because I know my parents were quite wrong. On the flip side, even if you don't get what you want, atleast you put in a lot of effort, and that will get you something.
Here's how it works.

An ETF or Fund like vanguard is a company that issues "coupons" and then buys and sells them (and various related administrative things, e.g. forwarding dividends while combining them).

So when you buy an ETF "share", what happens is that you buy a newly issued coupon from this company. This company gets notified, and as a result will put in market orders for these shares (while combining them in smart ways), and once it has bought the shares, issue the "share". (needless to say there's aggregation happening)

When you sell the reverse happens. You essentially request the company destroy the coupon. In response the company will sell shares. Once the shares are sold, the company will transfer that money (ie. whatever they got) to you.

So to answer your questions, in a flash crash scenario as an ETF owner you'll experience more lag in both cases. Ie. whether you're buying or selling the lag will add to your disadvantage compared to the rest of the market. So simplifying things, if a flash crash happens and you own an ETF or a fund you'll only be "allowed" to sell once the drop is over. If you try to buy at the bottom your order won't be filled for a while. Mind you this will be in the seconds range, or in particularly bad cases a few minutes.

In the US, there is also regulation that allows funds to pause redemptions. So if you own a fund that fears it may be significantly affected by a market drop, it can then block your money (regardless of what a contract you have with them says) for a period of up to months. Given what has historically happened, for small funds this means if there is a large drop, they will block your money making things worse (but somewhat avoiding feedback in the market that would cause individual share crashes). You will lose something like 20-80% of your capital if this happens. The smaller a fund the more likely this is to happen.

So an ETF should only be used for amounts of money that are truly too small to buy individual shares, something under maybe $10k. For everything else you should put in the work to buy the individual shares. If you don't do this, yes there are costs that will be imposed upon you in adverse scenarios.

You make it sound as if the article was written by a journalist, not a person who had been leaked to and is a part of the story. Anyway, that whistle blower and the leaker could both get 14 years under proposed anti-whistleblower laws:

The Guardian failed to point out in its report that new legislation proposed by the Law Commission would make the author of the anonymous letter, Jones herself, and the journalists at the Guardian, liable for prosecution—with up to 14 years in jail.

It seems totally futile to stand up to these people.

Well actually...

I suppose it's high-school-physics possible to fly a 1 gee helical path (the "barrel roll") centered around an orbital zero-gee trajectory...

Imagine for a moment a zero gee orbital trajectory at a low enough altitude that you can still generate aerodynamic lift from the atmosphere. (Here we handwave away all the pesky frictional heating, because we're deep in the thought experiment world of perfectly spherical cows of uniform density.) Now imagine a helical "coil spring" shaped path with that orbital trajectory running through the center. "All" you need to do is get the diameter and spacing of those helical coils right so your acceleration around the coils needs to be 1G, while your averaged out path coincides with the orbital zero gee trajectory.

Ok. I'm curious why you're telling me this. What's your motivation?

There's certainly no point in arguing with me, since I'm both reasonably poorly informed and aware of it; I have made no bones about the fact that my post was unserious. Yet you leap to the defense of what should, after all, be a very unexciting thing. And you aren't alone in doing so.

That, like this breathless article, is mildly troubling to me. These institutions should engender no loyalty, embody no attributes; only then does the market actually work. Evidence of those tendencies suggests the distorting effect of human psychology. And in tone it is too much like what we saw before the collapse for my liking.
Up until now, I was under the impression that CRPG stood for "Classic RPG" (as opposed to J(apanese) RPG, Action RPG or MMORPG).

Am I alone in this? If not, this seems a topic worth discussing.
> will everyone try to sell the same set of funds and will crash the funds themselves?

The ETF is backed by stocks in other companies, so if one person tries to sell someone else should be willing to buy, so long as the sale price * the number of shares is below the collective value of all of the shares held by the ETF.

Collective ownership of companies is a more interesting question. If everyone owns fractions of every company, what are the incentives for good governance at any one company? If it goes bankrupt, it's only a tiny fraction of everyone's portfolio.

Matt Levine has covered the latter beat for quite some time.
I am somewhat sympathetic to this argument but only with the following revisions.

An adult foreigner coming to the US has, if anything, better fiscal implications for the US than the children of American citizens since children need are very likely a net fiscal negative for say the first 18 years of their lives. New Americans, whether they are formed by birth, or by immigration enjoy the existing infrastructure without having paid for it.

If you say that American parents have already paid taxes on behalf of their children then I'll say that American employers have already paid taxes on behalf of their foreign employees. I'm fine with having a consistent 'entry fee' for all new Americans as long as said entry fee applies uniformly to both children of Americans and foreigners who wish to immigrate.

['red', 'blue', 'yellow'].find((d, i) => i === Math.round(Math.random() * 2))

That's not a safe way to pick a random color from an array.

`Math.round(Math.random() * 2)` might produce the following sequence: 2, 2, 0. The find callback is called with 0, 1, 2, so it returns nothing.

Maybe they were going for:

['red', 'blue', 'yellow'][Math.round(Math.random() * 2)]

If they intended for `undefined` or `null` to be a valid result, then it would be better to write:

['red', 'blue', 'yellow', null][Math.round(Math.random() * 3)]

> You make me laugh. Indians are nowhere close to Jews. Sure, Indians make up 1% of the US population, but they also make up almost one fifth of Earth's population as a whole. There are more than one billion Indians on Earth.

The problem really is that you are comparing a geographic (Indian) to followers of a religion (Jews). Indians can be Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Atheists, Christians or even Jews. It's wrong to compare 1 billion Indians of various ethnicities, cultures and religions with followers of a single religion - Jews.

> Of course you will see a generally smart group of people when you specifically only let in the top 0.0001% of the Indian population to begin with.

Also saying that top 0.0001% of Indian populace go to the US is another fallacy. Firstly, you are making an assumption that the top 0.0001% of Indian populace apply to the US in the first place. There is no data to back this up. Secondly, most of the top/successful Indian businessman are from India and not Indian-Americans. Sure, Indian-Americans are on average more successful and wealthy than the average Indian on account of being in an already developed country. That does not mean they are crème de la crème. There is not even a single Indian-American who is as successful, influential or powerful as Ratan Tata, Anil/Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Azim Premji or even Narayan Murthy. Show me one Indian-American founded company that can compete with the scale of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku6SAMsyHbo

The inability to formulate a one-sentence product description is a symptom of an imprecise product strategy. It's not a case of "in spite of it".

A mature & reliable product strategy (who you're targeting, what differentiated value you're adding to your targets etc) will automatically yield that one-sentence.

No art about wordsmithing. All about a valuable product.
Great explanation! Thanks!

>> So to answer your questions, in a flash crash scenario as an ETF owner you'll experience more lag in both cases

So the lag is due to inability to quickly buy/sell the percentages that were allocated for different stocks to build a share, right?

And if I understand correctly, this means if people keep their emergency funds in ETFs, in a crisis, they probably won't be able to access those funds quickly enough to get it at list price (because the price will move because of the lag).

Presumptuous. A lot of students study in the US because their country really doesn't have that level or quality of education accessible. I was perfectly happy salary-wise in my own country, but the institutions of higher education here mainly believed a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering can't be a good candidate for Masters in Computer Science. I thus had to apply to some good US Universities as they didn't have that problem. After studying there (and yes, I worked there for few years to expose myself to international work culture) I came back to my home country. I know many such people who went to US to study only because they didn't have such quality of education at their respective places. Also, when I worked in the US I don't think I was the 'cheap H-1B labor', I believe I contributed to the company and the US economy as well with my work.
