I still assert that a lot of the active fund management was dart throwing anyway.

As was retail investor’s selection of those active management funds.

There’s a diff between « active » investing in a hedge fund that has an AI HFT bot, and « active » investing in Fidelity’s Value Fund.
I don't know if you mean logging of traffic on the company network or all network traffic on the laptop itself. The latter is definitely not happening here.
Well if passive investors aren't going to vote, you can bet active investors are going to suggest things that disadvantage them.

You're right, something so blatant probably isn't allowed, but offering cheap convertible bonds, which passives won't buy, convertible to preferential shares that can pay different dividends. That's plausible, as are 1000 other things.

I don't want to do a Godwin, but if you don't vote, someone else will still vote for Hitler, and genocide isn't the type of question citizens vote on.
Does the stock market perform its socially beneficial function if a majority of capital is passively indexed?

Could passive index funds, which seek to mimic the stock market, actually be in control of the stock market? Are they mimicking themselves?

Should we be concerned that most passive capital is invested in the same companies, in the same proportion, weighted mainly by market cap?

Can passive index fund trading move the stock market?

If there is an economic downturn, how would a wave of cash withdrawals from passive index funds affect stock prices?

Have active managers changed their behavior in response to the rising dominance of passive index funds?

NO ONE knows the answers to these questions, at least not with certainty, because we're in uncharted territory.

This is the first time in history that a stock market has been dominated by passive index funds.

From your link:

> Your supporting documents should show the amount paid and a description that shows the amount was for a business expense.

A credit card statement typically doesn’t fulfill the second half of that requirement. That doesn’t mean the card statement isn’t a valid supporting document, just that it wasn’t enough by itself.

I too read an IRS document once, that doesn’t make me an expert on accounting. However, when every single finance person has stated that the WHAT was as important and then your own link says that too, I generally would back down and admit maybe I misunderstood and/or made a mistake. YMMV.

I'm not really sure what you're saying at all? It seems like we have agreed but I simply cannot comprehend your example.

The point I was making is that we could all spend our time going as deep as possible with as little abstraction as possible and end up writing stuff in assembly because "it's important to know how something works".

There is always a cost/benefit with abstraction when it comes to getting things done.

I think Scrum provides a good baseline of working for new teams, but ultimately the team is free to shape it however it works best for them.

The main value of Scrum as an official process, is that it gives you a stick with which to chase toxic management out of the room. They're not sufficiently Scrum if they crash your meetings and demand to be in charge. Though in my experience, most companies that do Scrum have a management that keeps their distance unless invited.
And I have some good times with my girlfriend in the more obscure parts of the stacks. That's another reason to presume these stacks for posterity.
Yeah, I think IoT is mostly bullshit that doesn't add much/any particular value. But you know what I do need? Windows in my house that either close automatically when it rains, or when I tell them all to via an app or something. Then I can open all 20 of back up when I want. or maybe open them 5%, or 20%, or all the way, or drop half way, and open the bottom halfway. Know why this will never happen? It's expensive to manufacture & install, the profit margins are way low, and it needs to be secure, meaning it should never call home to google. The opportunity cost of doing that is too high vs. just making some useless gimmick that sends user data back to Big Ad Tech so they can farm it in their high profit margin ad business... That, and maybe I'm an old fashioned edge case that just likes fresh air when the weather is nice. And I live where I could use this for most of the summer, as it's not usually too hot, and it rains all the fucking time.
Index fund investing literally "funds the economy"
No need for interviews.

Look for an idea. Then spend time researching the details, the market and the competition. Find your niche. Interview potential customers. Find a co-founder. Start building a prototype as a side project.
At what percentage you had the alarm then?
When you have an proof that A -> B and indications that A is true, you have two choices:

- Accept that B is also true
- Accept that A is false despite the indications.

In a Bayesian way of thinking you compare which of these has a higher prior and pick that one. (Glossing over the fact that 'accept X is true' is not quite a Bayesian thing to say)
> it's hard to debug things

I agree with the definition of "easy" in your post, and Docker is an excellent example of hell on earth. But I've not had that poorer debugging experience with SPAs, so I don't see what makes them harder to debug. I can't possibly have gotten that lucky?

The hardest problems I've had to debug on my SPAs usually had nothing to do with the SPA stuff and more things such as obscure yarn or typescript bugs/behaviour. These classes of bugs exist in all languages and frameworks.

> Another example would be accessibility (screen readers, etc.) Last time I tried, it was much harder to get that right with SPAs (not impossible, just hard).

I'm very confused about this. What about SPAs makes this any different than regular boring HTML? If anything, having easier access to a component model should make it easier.
The price drops to zero if the business dies because the stock gives you no voting power or dividends. Because the company is dead.

So, if it's a dying business everyone is pouring their money into then every active manager would search the couch for every last penny to short it with. Which is why I don't believe index funds will make up 100% of all stock assets because people who do understand the market would exploit the index fund allocation and attract more capital, and the stock picks of those successful active managers would quickly be represented in the index.
A 4K display on a laptop is a gimmick. Or, at least, for the aging eyes of this developer. Just bought one and had to exchange it for a 1920x1080 display. Much more comfortable.
It's great, actually :)
But seriously, I think these stats are mostly surprising/interesting because education and public discourse have pretty systematically prohibited any opinions of the sort to be publicly voiced, often with very express force of the state. So yeah, I'd call that (bad) training.

I inserted the word "often" now: "Those apps are often easier to develop, tend to be faster".

The entire topic is complex, and like I said the main point wasn't about template vs. SPA, although I felt like something had to be said about it, as it's obviously related and something of an elephant in the room.

I don't think there is One True Way™, but I also feel that many apps are actually a lot less complex than people seem to think. For example the main competitor for the app I'm working on now (unpublished MVP that's still WIP) is a SPA, and I feel like my simple template-driven app has a much better UX. You just don't need all the complexity, there is so little benefit you might as well not bother. I think this describes many apps.

Would HN be better as an SPA? I don't think so, and I suspect that a "SPA HN" would be harder to develop and get right.
I think you need to clarify as well, because if someone tells me it is easier to maintain solution X than solution Y I naively expect it must be because solution X's users will have it better than solution Y and complain less, requiring less fixing of user experienced problems.

Isn't it also possible that the opposite would happen? That is, people would oppose the new system because they fear change?

Perhaps both are true. I don't know if these stereotypes are actually supported by data, but it seems like we tend to expect young people to be both more idealistic/naive (depending on your perspective) and open to change. Similarly, the very terms 'progressive' and 'conservative' refer to the degree to which they advocate change.
> Two reasonable people with different experiences (and hence different priors) can interpret the same evidence in wholly different ways.

I don't understand how this could possibly be otherwise? Thinking about it more, the problem lies in the juxtaposition of "two reasonable people with different experiences" and "the same evidence", since the evidence you're evaluating is always really the sum total (or distillate, at least) of all evidence you've ever seen. You can't just give someone a new fact in a vacuum and ask them to evaluate it without letting the entire rest of their experience affect that evaluation.

> We propose a Visas between Individuals Program (VIP) that would tie together the interests of the working classes of rich and poor countries through sponsorship of visas and sharing of the gains from migration. Because every citizen would benefit from migration, rather than just the wealthy or those in cosmopolitan cities, migration would move from being one of the most divisive issues in wealthy countries to a widely popular source of growing middle-class income

So a person giving some immigrant a visa will have the option to cancel it? This type of relations between individuals will surely result in abuse.
This is some special kind of madness and I wonder when it will stop.

There's light at the end of this tunnel in the form of compilers like Svelte or Stencil.js replacing frameworks.

The improvement here is that since there's no special runtime the bundles are very small, so there isn't a lot of JS to parse.

Also the code you have to write is much shorter comparing to frameworks.
Probably - "Has it occurred* to you you might simply not understand the advantages of this approach?" makes you sound pretty dismissive of the parent comment's points.

Also - as someone who disagrees with you I don't see any compelling points in things like:

> "So when the author says that classic HTML with sprinkled js on top is "easier to develop", I smirk. If it were, developers would not be flocking en masse towards SPAs and the like. Those are gaining traction because they are easier to develop and easier to maintain. Monumentally so."

You're on HN - there's a huge chunk of us who are attempting to KISS web development. You're not wrong that React and Typescript are wonderful tools - but they're absolutely not the only way to develop things.

Also you may want to address people's worries about SPA development if you want to convince people it's not as bad as they're saying. (like performance - which is a huge reason I keep my light-weight vanilla-style apps the way they are)
It’s refracted light arcing in the atmosphere. That’s not a hallucination. Treating it as some continuous entity is a hallucination of our minds. There’s nothing suggesting the start of the arc has anything to do with the end, but we call the collective refraction phenomena we witness a rainbow. UFOs could also be something that we collectively fail to comprehend well enough to categorize the constituent parts.
Be yourself (if you're awkward/weird/whatever, that's okay - embrace it), be kind, be genuinely interested in other people, try to make other people have a good time, try not to worry about what they think of you and instead turn your attention outwards to them.

Smile! Most people are quite happy to be around quiet people who project an air of friendliness, so you don't have to say too much if you don't want to.

The biggest pitfalls I see with technical people in social situations are the following:

- trying to demonstrate knowledge (people don't generally care if you're an expert)

- trying to be right

- talking too much, listening too little

It's also okay to be honest and vulnerable. In fact, a great conversation starter might be something like, "I'm honestly not really the best at small talk...want to talk about something more interesting instead?"

My point is not that Bonini's paradox is false; it is that it is being used incorrectly, in the quoted passage, to 'explain' something that has a different explanation. The paradox itself seems to me to be almost certainly true, but rather trivially so, without adding much at all to our understanding of complex systems. There are a lot of incomplete models that are useful and add to our understanding of the thing being modeled.

Only hard part you would need to figure out how to pull in the changlogs using the code block. It would be possible I just don't know if there is already a github script for it or not.
Especially that GitHub can be used as a collaborative wiki. So dangerous if you think about it.
A common developer scenario can involve a few things that will eat a lot of threads:

1. playing some background music
2. running a local database
3. running a local webserver
4. running a browser
5. running an ide
6. running all of that stuff concurrently while testing the backend code
7. doing builds which are multi threaded in near linear speedup fashion in many languages/environments.

I don't know if 12 cores 24 logical is going to make that scenario feel overall better than 4 cores 8 logical, but I do know that 4x8 feels much much better than 2x4 in my own use cases.

#7 alone can be a really, really big win for long compiling projects.
> Even games don't benefit from higher core count as much as you would expect.

And some games (like some Source-engine titles) crash if you have a high core count.

I certainly benefit from the higher core count because I usually have a VM, 40 browser tabs, Slack, and a bunch of other stuff open at any given time, but my parents would see no benefit with their 5 tabs + iTunes + Word usage.

"can be spoken poorly and still be understood"

That is only something that is easy for native speakers, though. The points a non-native speaker anchors in the speaking flow are completely different to the ones a native speaker does, and depend on the mother language, making the thousand "official" variations of native English quite a challenge.

I find far superior other languages approach of having a "high" form taught in schools that everybody native is supposed the speak and understand, and the dialects are left for home.
There's a concept called "security awareness" that the InfoSec experts talk about a lot. It's basic course in staying safe online and, well, in the case of companies, keeping the company safe as well. You might want to consider running through some of that curriculum.

I'd wager most coding languages are described in their website docs rather than in physical books long before they reach libraries. Only the most popular languages get a full write up more than a few times and then you've got to compete against shelf space already occupied by long useful books. While library organizations orgs have our can get most books, your have to know what you were looking for in advance.
This is great.

Atlantic article from 2017 [1] mentioned that every company having the same set of investors might reduce competition on the market:

"Julio Rotemberg, then a newly minted economist from Princeton, posited that “firms, acting in the interest of their shareholders,” might “tend to act collusively when their shareholders have diversified portfolios.” The idea, which Rotemberg explored in a working paper, was that if investors own a slice of every firm, they will make more money if firms compete less and collectively raise prices, at the expense of consumers"

The article does point out that there are also other opinions on the subject.

The fetch API is nowhere as convenient as the jQuery one.

It requires craft to get addEventListener() on par with on().

jQuery comes with many implicits loops that save you time.

fadeIn() is easier to handle than the equivalent css. jQuery supports edge if you target it (things like prepend(), parent() work on it).

Error handling is just better. E.G: jQuery().val() will not raise an error if there is no match while document.getElementById().value will.

And probably a hundred of other little details that won't come out of my head but that will grind my gear if I start working on code.

Chaining is awesome to manipulate DOM. The imperative API is very verbose.

So. Many. Plugins.

I'm more of a VueJS guy now, but if I have only a quick page to setup, the 30ko of jquery are better than anything I can produce to wrap my repetitive code.
