I’m know I’m a dummy when it comes to economics, and an investor in index funds because of that.

But it strikes me that index funds are parasitical in a way and depend on price signals from active investors.

Some people say that it’s ok, the situation is self-correcting.

But what if the smart active money is active in places we can’t see in the public markets? Again, I’m a dummy, but I believe a lot of investment is happening privately these days.
I doubt the amount of shady CEOs is any worse than it was at times in the past (the 80s being known for the "Gordon Gekko" type CEOs immediately come to mind). I think it just feels like there's more corruption because of a combination of us consuming more media, quicker and recency bias.
Godel's work has always been incomprehensible to me. no matter how I attempt to understand his theorems, I find them impenetrable. Apparently they are of great consequence, so I'm very interested, but to no avail.
Interesting.

Yeast is a fungus. Sourdough bread has always been described to me as "natural yeast", which I assumed was a fungus microorganism.

EDIT: Seems like Sourdough Type I has Saccharomyces exiguus, Candida milleri, or Candida holmii as its fungus. Perhaps it isn't "Mold", but those aren't bacteria either. In any case, the ancient, or even middle-ages cook, wouldn't have known about these different microscopic microorganisms when they created sourdough, cheese, or yogurt.

The growth of Lactobacillus is still important apparently for sourdough. In any case, the idea of micro-organisms changing the taste (for the better) of various recipes would have been discovered by the first baker of leavened bread, a truly ancient discovery. Yogurt and Cheese are simple extensions of the principle.
He seems to be implying that the naive idea of passive funds of actually holding a basket of the indexed stocks is not the reality and that there are various financial shenanigans going on analogous to the issues seen in the run up to the last financial crisis.

He points to a mismatch between the daily trading volume of various of the smaller components of these indexes and the amount of money globally indexed to them. The suggestion as I understand it is that some of the indexed money is not directly holding the indexed stocks but is using financial instruments to track the indices indirectly and that in the case of another global financial crisis those instruments could break down and you'd potentially see significant divergence between the tracking funds and the actual indices.

That's just my layman's interpretation though, I'm not an expert on this stuff.
That's a fair criticism about auditing. Doing it through database triggers avoids the problem with audits being missed because of code that doesn't participate in the Hibernate lifecycle (including native SQL queries and Criteria updates, yikes!).

I will also concede that under some circumstances it's too slow to bring the data to the code, and instead you have to bring the code to the data (i.e. PL/PGSQL). The sort of speedup is mostly from eliminating round trips and data marshaling, however. That's not quite a like-for-like comparison of an ORM vs a mapper.

The reason I stick to ORMs is mostly because of RAD tools that save me so much time. For instance, JHipster generates liquibase migrations and JPA entities. This gives me a relational schema very quickly. To avoid any "surprise" queries that tank performance, I do turn Hibernate's statement logging on when developing new features.

Next time if I can find some more tools to help with an SQL-only + stored procedure approach, I'll give it a deeper consideration. Maybe convince your company to open source some of tools it has developed!
It is explicitly part of their charter, that's why claiming that they are spending donations on things like diversity is "misleading" are not correct.
Best Bank and Fintech Partnership Award 2019: TD Bank and Hydrogen
I have many laptops. But only use two ATM - on the Dell core i5 6GB ram, Firefox runs smoothly. My previous daily driver a hp envy core i5 also has no issues with Firefox. Chrome was SLOOW on the Envy and pushed me over to Firefox.

It's the Packard Bell (detachable screen Atom x5-Z8350, 2GB ram) that I'm having issues with. I don't know if it's because I'm always on battery saver mode. Disabling all my extensions didn't help.

>Firefox is much less resource intensive than chrome

I have the same experience with both core i5 laptops. Installed Opera - not chrome on the detachable. I can't compare the memory usage btw opera and Firefox because I've got more extensions running on Firefox.

Please note, I once disabled all extensions but it made no difference.
> He was Cantonese

What does that even mean? He's a dialect? Sun Yat-sen is widely regarded as the founding father of modern China(as apposed to Qing dynasty). This is beyond political differences. That's why he's highly regarded on both sides. And believe or not, Kuomintang started out as a left wing party as well. They received tons of aids from Soviet Union when they were initially founded.
which is the "workaround" to the gdpr the article badly describes (probably because brave upcoming ad network will do the same but more workaroundily)

now those are used to match a 3rd party id. you just need a gdpr_workaround schema in your data base with two columns user-id, google-random-id with N-1 records indexed both ways.

gdpr has restrictions on pin pointing a single person. this is effectively doing that, but claim it is not, because random ids. apple is just a little better with how device-advertiser-id works.

In a city with a lot of traffic, more space between cars stopped at the light means that the line of cars may be more likely to be blocking the previous intersection.
Except for every large non-profit charity that employs entire teams to navigating restricted funds.

Not made up example: nobody wants their donation to go to marketing. It’s not very sexy. But (to a point) money spent on marketing has a non-zero return. Basically every charity pays for their marketing out of their general fund and it’s always strained because it feels like pure overhead but it actually fuels their growth.

Talk to anyone who works in development and they’ll tell you that unrestricted donations have the largest impact.

For Mozilla their diversity campaigns are the same way. They’re banking on bootstrapping a large undervalued talent pool as a long-term growth strategy and social good.
Is “landed gentry” redundant?
If it's gathering health information and outputting guidance then they are legally no longer "just an ordinary websites with ads and other tracking cookies". Something like a survey that may offer guidance to, say, a suicide hotline if the survey results point that way crosses a border between passive information dissemination and active health advice. I think it's unlikely US courts would rule that such systematic gathering of health information doesn't make it a "covered entity". But that's just the US. The article focused on the EU, and there the GDPR automatically elevates the level of opt-in permission required.
The theorem reminds me of William Lawvere's "Adjointness in foundations". Formulas/programs are in an adjoint relationship with their executions. The fact that they are adjoints is a big deal.
This message needs to be tempered a bit. Marriage can and often requires hard work, pain, struggle, and sacrifice. To say it is wonderful is wrong and will lead to disillusionment. Working through arguments, child issues, sex deprivation, affairs, moves, finances, etc. can be very rewarding and worth the struggle, but it is not wonderful all the time.
170M fine for a company that makes ~10B of earnings and 30B of revenue per quarter. That's like someone making 100k per year and only having to pay 50 cents in fine. Even parking fines are a much more steeper in % for average joe.

A fine of anything less than a billion is like breeze hitting Google's face. You want to slap them, make that stock hurt.

> How would they access location data unless authorised by the user?

> > Correlate devices that visited geofence addresses (using LiveRamp data)

LiveRamp is hooked into a lot of ad services and a user's location information will routinely make its way to them. Played some ad-supported mobile game on your phone while in the Doctor's waiting room? LiveRamp has that location data.

Even if the user doesn't have GPS enabled for the game, they might have it enabled for some other background process that routinely asks for it, like Facebook or Twitter or FourSquare, who package that data for sale. Or you're on the Doctor's wifi, and most stable IPs like that are in location databases. Or they just buy it off your cell phone provider, since many happily sell location information.

LiveRamp is a gigantic business built entirely on knowing approximately where you are any time you interact with their tracking servers.
It is actually relevant because they are matching the ads to the user, only it happens by a proxy variable which is the site you are visiting.
I mentioned that extension in the published paper, but complexity of access becomes O(d) where d is number of dimensions.

It sounds like you might misunderstand the product you are buying from them. They are very clear about the reliability of EBS (1 in 1000 volumes will fail during a year of uptime), and they provide a really easy way to back things up, and there are tools available to schedule automated backup rotation. So I'm not sure what more you expect. AWS can't possibly know what your needs are for backup and restore for a particular EBS volume. If you want data durability, use S3.
Yes it does matter. In your scheduler, how do you ensure your ping (the way you start an instance) is actually creating another instance to keep warm or reusing another instance?

If you want to always keep 20 instances warm, you have to keep the first ping active until the 20th one is done.

In other words, if you want to keep 20 active instances warm and you send 20 requests in 5 seconds, if each request only takes .25 seconds. You will only have 5 warm lambdas. The 6th real concurrent connection will still have a cold start. Also while you are pinging the request to keep it warm, that instance can serve a real user.

Also, API Gateway has an algorithm to decide whether to launch a new lambda are cache a request hoping that using an already warm lambda will free up.
We had that already with the JVM and CIL. They never caught on in the browser.
There are ways to get more diversity within indexing itself. eg: small cap index, value index funds. It seems like the bone of contention is that indexes track the entire market based on trading volume, and that is an existential risk given cap weighting. Many now invest in total market indices, which limits the impact of large cap companies. The "cap weighting" problem is a known issue in indexing and this is why you invest in total market, small cap, mid cap indices.
Because when enough of the money is in an index fund, you can predict how a large part of the investors are going to invest (using the same algorithms they're using) and adjust based on that.
I am not an economist either, but it seems that there is a danger in assuming there will be an equilibrium. I think it is entirely possible that there won't be one.

If there is an equilibrium, it may take a significant price shock to discover where it is. I.e. that equilibrium could be years behind us, and if there is a crash we might never recover the value that our current market assumes is there.

I'm not so certain, supporting saving data to a URL hash is pretty trivial to do, much easier than going with SSO integration - so I'm surprised the site doesn't support both at least.

Oh my! this reminds me of a class I took in my masters. Had to learn "Halting Problem". Godel's work in just astonishing and way beyond my caliber. I managed to pass the class but memories are still with me.
Same difference apparently:

> Every single day in China, depending on which statistic from the Chinese government is used, an average of 16 to 76 people are placed into the new liuzhi detention system and, by definition, disappeared.

[..]

> For decades, the Chinese Communist Party’s powerful anti-graft watchdog, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), used the shuanggui detention system to hold suspects for up to six months without charge. Enforcers were not answerable to any state laws. The use of shuanggui has been a strictly internal affair for the members of the CCP, it is completely separate from the state or judicial system. The meant that the normal protections afforded to those detained within the judicial system and rights, such as access to legal counsel, were not available to shuanggui detainees. Once in these facilities, you have no right to have your family informed of your whereabouts. You simply disappeared.

> At the National People’s Congress in March 2018, China introduced a constitutional amendment to establish the National Supervision Commission (NSC), based on the new National Supervision Law (NSL), effectively replacing shuanggui with liuzhi. In practical terms, the biggest change was the NSC has authority over not just the 90 million or so CCP members but state employees and anyone working for an organization that manages public affairs or is involved in public affairs in any manner, right down to the village level. The style of Investigation and detention, despite the change in name, remain the same.
All headlines are click-bait to some degree. This used to annoy me, but now I let it go and try to focus on the content.
false and irrelevant. advertising to the site content really means "to the site's content audience demographics".

what you describe is actually the personal ad targeting apocalypse we experienced recently. very well illustrated with the famous Taboola scam, where tabloid sites only had ads taking you to other tabloid sites.

Perfect.
Thank you, this clarified so many things.
The content on YouTube absolutely differs from the content on regular television.

Most children's television content has some value: a lesson, moral or at least an actual story.

Others have mentioned the horrifying inappropriate content, but even ignoring that, there is a mind-boggling amount of content on YouTube that is really devoid of value (at least in terms of what I want my kids watching):

* Nursery rhymes -- which is not so bad, but it just keeps going forever

* People (often adults) dressed up as children's story characters, just goofing around

* People (not always kids) literally just playing with toys

* People (not always kids) doing some mind-numbing repetitive task (for 10's of minutes) like opening kinder eggs, molding play doh or pouring glitter on things
> only Firefox will cause my Windows 10 system to completely hard freeze

Whenever I experience this type of thing I can't help but speculate that issues like this are not serendipity at work.

I recollect reading an article years back from a Microsoft developer who spoke about how it was quite common for Windows code to take specific actions based on which app was running - ostensibly to 'improve the user experience'. Though, it's not hard to imagine MS using this for the opposite purpose. And, since their code is proprietary, who would know?
Peaceful reunification is already unlikely.
There’s basically one treatment, and one only that any specialist would recommend at this point, so it’s effectively moot other than the question of it being covered by whatever healthcare or insurance you can muster up.

The alternative and older drugs tend to have some rather horrific side effects (detaching your retinas, making your skin detach in some cases) but are very cheap, nobody would choose them if they had the better option.

I’m sort of confused in general what advertising for these sort of drugs actually achieves. It’s not like the patient really has a deciding ability (other than live or die if they can’t afford it), so all it does is act as a constant reminder of how financially screwed you are.

I worked on Ad systems for 2-3 years.

It is fault of advertisement industry and RTB. RTB rely on personal data with some fields missing (name, phone, email, etc) to be send for real time bidding for Ads by many players. Remaining data mapped by these players to infer these missing fields and guess purchase habit of person browsing the site and bid on Ad space.

Data sent to these RTBs do have unique fields like Android Ad ID that can easily identify person.

Ad industry rely on these obfuscation like Android Ad ID to track us individually but giving the idea that personal data is not sent.

The problem is they think users are too stupid to understand that much information and detail. And for the most part, they're right: users are very stupid.
I'm going to have to agree with the author here. Defining what is "normal" or acceptable levels of privacy or tracking has become one of several battlefields in the world of privacy.

An orthogonal but related idea that is often floated is that many web sites _need_ tracking and targeted ads to survive and that they cannot exist without the [increased?] revenue they provide. Personally I think we'd all be better off with fewer web sites that were higher quality and if cutting off some revenue starved some of the weaker click-bait publishers out of business and funneled that revenue at about zero-marginal cost to other higher quality outlets that would actually be a _very good_ thing.

This does ultimately mean Google is intercepting and reading them then (albeit on the device).
Those photos from The Atlantic are phenomenal; thank you for the link!

I would love to know how he got #14 [0]. Slide film (as you're no doubt aware) has relatively little exposure latitude compared to print film, meaning it's a hell of a trick to get both the inside of the tower and the trains in the yard outside exposed properly.

You can see the issue pretty often in real-estate photos. Photos featuring the inside of the house with a window usually have the window way blown out because there's so much more light outside than inside.

I had my Nikon D40 paired with 35mm since 2008 and its shutter failed late last year. It served me well at ~60k shutter count for more than 10years, taking beautiful photos of travel, my kids growing up and many important events; even at a measly 6mp at max 1600 iso, it performed superb.

For almost a year without my DSLR, most of my photos were shot using my LG G6 phone. It was okay and I insisted feeling it was good enough.

It was last Christmas when I was able to borrow a Canon 6Dmk1 paired with a good lens. Boy, I was in for a treat again; the sensor, fast focus, bokeh and low light performance all reminded me how far I've forgotten the joy of getting better pictures using a better camera. Got myself a 77d+24mm soon after to satisfy the cravings.
I would be interested in more details
