If this is not an Enron-like foreshadowing, it says something rather dark. It certainly looks like a 'bubble is about to pop' indicator, though it's generalized to the whole financial sector (to the extent that a blind index fund represents it, at least).

If it does pop, it suggests that an industry that is on average not as good as its own average, is itself overvalued (as numerous other comments strongly imply).

If it does NOT pop, it's speaking a deeper truth. It speaks to a collective, society-wide agreement: those with power should automatically get more power. Those with money should automatically get more money. The mechanism doesn't matter: it's like a moral duty to reverse Robin Hood and fill in the reasons later. If a dumb blind index beats everything and never fails, that means we've gone all-in on redistribution of wealth to 'the winner', defined as whoever has all the wealth.

And the only way to break that loop is pitchforks and guillotines. Some might say in the age of automation, AI and robotics, such disruptive things are impossible. But the original pitchforks and guillotines were in the age of early industrialization, and I'm sure nobody thought machinery and tools could end up turned against the rich and powerful. Everything's a tool eventually.

Vanguard popping is the SOFT option.

It's not going to get a case study because it's been extensively studied already.

An easy to understand introduction is to look at the Stolper Samuelson theorem.

This isn't a recent development. It precedes the existence of the United States as a nation. Textiles in the U.K., mill workers. It's been done before.

Protectionism is often just a straight subsidy from whichever society is being protectionist to the members which are being protected.

Or, as people on the Internet are prone to saying: if you can't compete, legislate. If you're somehow losing your job to Infosys, you can't be that good. Real loss for society occurs when a good candidate can't get into the US because Wipro took all the visas.

England has some weird bits of law.

http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/protection-of-official-data...

If you leak data that damages the capability of the armed forces to carry out their tasks the maximum sentence is 2 years.

Compare that to:

http://www.lawcom.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/cp230_pr...

> By way of contrast, sections 57 – 59 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, when commenced, will make it an offence punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment for a Crown servant to disclose without authorisation anything to do with the existence or implementation of particular warrants granted pursuant to the Investigatory Powers Act, including the content of intercepted material and related communications data.

So, while it might be right that official secrets is made more restrictive, but with an increased max sentence, that is a bit worrying because other law tends to anchor to OSA sentences, and we don't want longer sentences all over other data privacy laws.
This reminds me of the story of the navy ship and the lighthouse.
Insurance companies don't care, period. If they somehow lose money one year, they raise the premiums next year. They don't even need to lose money. If their payments go up, they show that to their regulators, who allow them to charge us higher prices. And since the regulators allow them to have a certain profit margin, actually the insurance companies have the economic incentive to pay more.

That demonstrates that there are no negative G forces. It doesn't demonstrate that it's 1G.

I'm a private pilot who has done aerobatics, exactly 1G doesn't work - and it's completely unnecessary (though you can stay pretty close to it, so that someone with their eyes closed would not know they were rolled).

But just about the video as "proof of 1G":

As long as you stay positive you are fine, even psychologically with passengers not used to it. The real turning point, in real effects as well as psychologically, is when you approach 0G, the feeling only starts at less than 0.5G when you begin to feel more and more weightless.

When you go even slightly negative it becomes a completely different matter, both in terms of real effects (fuel, oil, lose stuff flying around the cabin) as well as psychologically: Even though you made the harness extra tight with as much force as you could muster in preparation for an aerobatic flight with negative G forces, when you get here it feels as if you hang upside down in the harness and the seat is miles away from you, as if you dropped a few centimeters and now literally just hang in the airplane.

I (in my small and somewhat underpowered aircraft) go below 1G when I get close to the top, because if I tried to maintain 1G the nose of the airplane would have to drop (towards the earth in that position), and I want to keep that at a minimum, so that I don't end the roll with the nose in too much of a nose-down attitude from which I will have to pull out.

Here is an image from my flying some years ago, in a Grob 115C Acro (rented from Attitude Aviation, Livermore, CA, ca. 2002): http://i.imgur.com/Rd5VW3R.jpg (the inside of this airplane: http://i.imgur.com/4bwJn13.jpg)

EDIT: (after reading some comments) To me a roll is over when the airplane is back to straight and level, after 360 degrees. So my statements are for that interpretation of the word "roll". And my frame of reference for g-forces are the people on board the aircraft.
You can run distributed stateful workloads on kubernetes with local storage and disable rescheduling when the node goes down. This means that you need to manually migrate/restart workloads if a node goes down. There is work being done on improving handling local node storage https://github.com/kubernetes/community/pull/306 but it doesn't scale as well as network storage.

If you have an existing SAN solution you can connect to it via fiber channel over iSCSI.

I still firmly believe riot.js (http://riotjs.com/) is the best "react-like" tool even though it's almost entirely unknown (sadly) and its website/PR/general presentation is a bit janky.

It's essentially a very very tiny, minimally opinionated structural layer that lets you build html components (called "tags") using almost entirely vanilla JS. It inverts the JSX paradigm: where JSX is "html in the middle of your code", in riot the markup is primary and the code is a supplement to it (expressions in the markup via templates/mustaches, additional tag-specific script added outside of the markup if desired, tag-specific scoped css) so there's no JSX insanity.

It's like a much leaner react/vue, and frankly I love it. It's entirely minimal and you can bring in any library you want to use along with it (e.g. jquery for ajax, redux if you want...). It has virtually no cognitive load (just looking at a sample "tag" file for 2 minutes gives you ~80% of what you need to know), you just pick it up and work with it and just occasionally peek at the docs if needed.

I'm a huge fan of the "minimally opinionated" approach. The fewer idiosyncrasies and custom abstractions in tools, the more productive you are (I'm looking at you, angular!).

> You're talking as if there's a swarm of fresh money flowing into the market, whereas it's more a case of people shifting away from traditional actively managed mutual funds etc. into indexing.

Yeah, the question seems to be about fresh money. You could be right that we are mostly witnessing a shift from actively managed funds to indexing. As far as my home country (Germany) is concerned indexing seems to become more attractive to people who never invested, though. Now that I think about it I am not sure whether or not this kind of money would be "fresh money" as these people stored their money in banks who were probably investing it.

> Money is cheap at the moment because growth is low, and that in turn means resk premia are lower and so on, but I don't think that's related to the rise of index funds. Then again I never understood why active management was so popular in the first place.

As I understand it, risk premia is not related to growth. It is simply the costs to transfer risk to someone else. Active management was probably high in the past as banks had little incentive to sell passive investment plans: If people don't constantly buy and sell they don't cause transaction costs and thus income for the bank. Active and passive management are both neither inherently wrong or right. Until now active investment has been irrational but it could theoretically change if the share of money passively invested is high enough, say (made up number incoming) 80%.

It's a podcast with anthropologist from Vanderbilt, specializing in the downfall of civilizations
I would have also loved a summary, but my curiosity was piqued enough to give it a listen.

Here are some hastily taken notes for anybody who wants a better gauge if the time is worth it to them:

- The strengths of a civilization are often the cause of the downfall

- Western economies focus on over production of a small number of things, then exchange for other goods

- Counter movements aren't necessarily indicative of impending collapse

- In the face of counter movements, leaders don't usually adjust strategy, rather they intensify their existing strategies

- This intensifications are usually always counterproductive

- The terms of Presidents or CEO's (4-8 years) are not long enough to meaningfully restructure things; this re-enforces the intensification approach, leading to bubbles, leading to collapses

- Common patterns of this intensification include shorter and shorter term thinking

- Hypercoherent societies are closely interconnected, working as a unit for shared prosperity

- A challenge of hypercoherent societies is that if there's a problem in one area, it creates a huge impact on the whole (ie. computer network outages)

- Competition/profits drive hypercohesion and the associated fragility of the system

- Observations of 'this is the greatest period in <<something>>' are warning signs of status wars that could be construed as ominous

- Dependence on unsustainable systems (ie. transportation infrastructure) creates an entanglement theory that prevents leaders from taking corrective action (ie. closing an sink hole of a subway line)

- This entanglement theory compounds and can lead to speedy collapses
I'll go one step further:

"Journalists" are not journalists, and being unable to form an opinion of their own, they are often willing to regurgitate anything their sources tell them without fail.

I wish GTA V has the GTA IV vehicle physics engine settings.

Driving in GTA IV feels so realistic, with so many attention to details from pedestrians that really react to small little things like misfiring of half-broken car engine and so much more.

(it's the same engine (RAGE with bullet physics), just with dumbed down settings for more noob-friendly/casual gameplay)

And not only the vehicle physics but also the damage model has been dumped down - the GTA IV one was superb. (Only totally different and a lot of more resource intensive damage models in RigsofRods/DriveNG are even more realistic.)

They had to decrease the simulation level for GTA V as the PS3/Xbox360 weren't capable to offer the richness of GTA IV on bigger scale. Sadly they never added the details back with the PS4/XboxOne/PC HD re-mastered release.

So to get the most detailed simulation one has to use GTA IV and install mods to drive around on the GTA V map. See YouTube videos, it's possible and a lot of fun.
Thank you for your kind words. I could only the data was more detailed and perhaps in several dimensions and not only for the federal government.
Having expectations is not the same as having those expectations shattered
Hey,

This was about 5 years ago. I was employed under a permanent contract, and have since received an employment visa/residence permit. During my interview and then again when I came in to sign the contract I just made sure the employer knew my visa status - they indicated that it would be no problem to get the longer term visa when the time comes, and they work with a relocation company which helps with applications and such. There _was_ some question about whether I would have to leave the country while the application for the new visa was in progress, but this did not end up being the case.

I'm not really sure what the job market is like for short term contracts since I've been with the same company ever since and haven't really looked around. I've had recruiters approach me but always for permanent positions. Most of the in-house contractors I see on our end are in QA (though we do have some engineering contractors as well, I just don't see those positions advertised so much). More specifically I am in game development and there seem to be a lot of permanent game dev positions going around.

So many things wrong in this comment:

1. The shareholders own the stock. Not the employees. (though the employees can be shareholders). So the metric you are looking at, is the number of shareholders and distribution of the stock in the hands of these shareholders.

2. The Market Cap is a useless metric unless you specify the volatility of the stock. If your stock can depreciate 30% intra-day, then a 50% increase is not really a wealth appreciation unless you realise it (sell the stock). But, whoops, then you are no longer a shareholder.
About ten years ago I sold some real estate and moved some money into a Vangaurd fund it was easy, took a few minutes to setup the account online, and transfer from my credit union to the fund. Done.

Five years later I tried to get the money back, I tried online but the website always failed and told me to reset my password. Finally after months I called, after hours of waiting on the phone ( skype ) I was told it was a tech problem, and need to talk to tech. After months of playing tag I finally got past the password and it said that the new password was sent to my mail, but I have to 'login' to read the mail, and they will not send your mail 'internet mail', so now I can't get any communication, and still can't access.

Whenever I call its always the same problem, its non-english speaking people, also they only do telephone support a few hours a day, its not 24 hours like say Fidelity.

So now its been 10+ years, and I have never been able to make a withdrawl, when I call I always get a run around, there is no Vanguard office where I live, so there is no 'face' to make demands. When I make requests I never get a response.

In summary, Vangaurd is a black-hole; Be careful I'm glad in this case its only $10k, I'm sure by the time I ever need the money they'll say it was an abandoned account the money passed to gov, most country's have such laws where an account abandoned say 3+ years the money goes to the general fund.

OData - which was essentially LINQ over URL - was nice (but incomplete) idea with terrible realization. We've used it in two projects in the past and we've fallen back from using it in both cases:

- OData never got wider adoption outside (and even inside) MS. GraphQL is already adopted on every major platform.

- OData had shitton of documentation and format changes with every version. Backward compatibility not included. GraphQL has clear specification which is pretty stable since its first publication.

- OData queries had no validation. You could send almost every query just to get runtime response that your framework/library doesn't support that functionality - even if it was developed by Microsoft itself. On the contrary all major GraphQL server implementations have full feature support.

- Thanks to Introspection API GraphQL has self-descriptive metadata model, which is great for tooling and compile time query verification. Also versioning, schema and documentation are all included into GraphQL from start.

- And finally GraphQL focuses on exposing capabilities of your service into well defined format understood by frontend, not on exposing subset of your database to the user - like OData did.
