The problem with that interpretation is the following:

Each active investor gets some return and contributes some movement to the market. If there are enough active investors, the aggregate move of the market matches the actual value movement of the stock in a company. Then, on the sidelines, over some time period the market's moves are copied by the index (a balancing of the index). If, however, there are too few active investors, the index funds will be causing feedback into the system by being the only source of liquidity in a stock. If active investors then attempt to capitalize on this "failure", they will be the movements of the market. Then the index funds will copy them in the next round of balancing. In the end, there is a level where the market is not something the active investors can get a good return in because all the momentum is in the index and nowhere else. If the active investors are all doing way better than the indexes, the indexes will just copy that and suddenly be doing as well... Right?

Thank you for sharing this! But even on desktop its hard to read, must be hell on mobile. So I will just cite you:

1 - do not do it if you can avoid it

2 - if you really must, then try the folliwing:

* break the plant, put a tiny amount of it on your armpit. If it's not reacting (itching, becoming red, etc) after 10 minutes, continue.

* break the plant, put a tiny amount of it on your lips. If it's not reacting, after 10 minutes, continue.

* break the plant, put a tiny amount of it on your tongue. If it's not reacting after ten minutes, if the taste is not off putting for any reason, and if you don't get any sensation/intuition (for a better word) that something is wrong, continue.

* masticate a tiny amount. Same.

* swallow a tiny amount. Wait for 2 hours. Observe obvious symptoms, but also digestion. It should be easy to process at this amount.

If all that pass (yeah, it's very long), remember this doesn't ensure the plant is perfectly safe, just lowers the risks.
A greater problem is the divorce of collection of data and consent.
He’s disclaiming that he’s a costumer, and noting that he’s not an investor.
It is simply a fact that the Second Amendment was meant to preserve the people's right to overthrow the government (or, at least, to defend themselves against the government). Madison famously wrote that state militias would keep a federal army in check.

It's a persistent myth that this is not the case. The US was born in revolution and the founders were very concerned about the possibility of a tyrannical government.
Active investors are already really good at guessing the future. Index funds work because they follow the decisions made by active investors without needing to pay said investors.

As more of the market moved to indec funds, a smaller amount will be controlled by active investors, which will make the entite market dumber (I would say less efficient, but that would include the cost of managing the fund). As the market gets dumber, an active investor can make more profit without needing to be any better then he currently is.

At some point (in theory), the marginal profit one can make with an active fund will equal the added cost.

Your suggesting feels good at a personal connection scale (i.e. you fixed my bug painpoint, have some dosh), but really to get the sort of traction where the donations are viable you'd be working at a much larger scale right? Plus, why should the donator does each do this all headwork? Charities make it easy to donate for a reason, it increases donations... Specifically on the topic of scale, if the donations are small enough to not run into this problem, they are probably too little to impact anything, hence scale matters if the donations do.
Because a restriction on code contribution makes sense due to the fact there's often only one area where the code makes sense. If it doesn't fit the vision of whatever the code is trying to do, then there's no reason not to restrict it.

Financial contributions affect all areas of the organization and the needs/wants of the organization changes daily, some times spontaneously. People simply donating to "writing code" doesn't make an organization function. There has to be some sort of PR. There has to be some sort of administration. There has to be marketing, quality, distribution, etc.

I agree, I saw below in someone else's comment that the issue is with the attitude of "[index] stocks will always go up in the long term", which is similar to the attitude "house prices always go up in the long term" which caused the 2008 crash.
> so of course they'll out perform actively managed funds that have better liquidity

I don't get this at all. So why aren't active fund managers investing in the same stocks the index funds are buying in order to take advantage of the price increase for their investors? Isn't that their job? And what do you mean by "better liquidity?"
I don't see how anyone could come to any other conclusion. It feels like every day we find out about yet another tech company finding a new way to extract more of our personal data. At this point, the only appropriate response in my opinion is to ask: are we mad enough to do anything about this yet?
What about everyone else? Many companies only operate a handful of servers, and they often don't have the staff to know the kernel that intimately, so they rely on sane defaults. These companies are also not typically using their CPUs to the max, so disabling HT seems like a reasonable default.

If you know enough to know whether up should be using HT, you can enable it yourself.
Okay, but the `google_push` parameter seems to be the same for all adtech providers swarming on the same user in the same RTB session. Nothing in your comment contradicts the claim that this allows them to sync up profiles for that user across providers, in the way that the switch to per-provider `google_gid` values supposedly blocks.

You're only taking into account making money via stock trading. There is always the option of buying a company to actually run it for a profit which is not reliant on the market's belief in the company's value.
> Secondly, once you get really good at SQL, you learn that very tiny seeming things can make the difference between a query running for an hour or a second (e.g. case-insensitive search against an indexed column).

SQLAlchemy supports case-insensitive searches, per-column / per-expression collation settings, index and other SQL hint formats for all databases that support them, e.g. SQLAlchemy's query language supports most optimizing SQL syntaxes, with the possible exception of very esoteric / outdated Oracle things like which table you list first in the FROM clause (use index hints instead). We are adding esoteric performance features all the time to support not just SQL-level tricks but driver level tricks too which are usually much more consequential, such as the typing information applied to bound parameters matching up for indexes as well as special driver-level APIs to improve the speed of bulk operations.

SQLAlchemy has been around for thirteen years, plenty of SQL experts have come along and requested these features and we implement them all. Feel free to come up with examples of SQL-expert level performance optimizations that SQLAlchemy doesn't support and we'll look into them.

I think going through The Little Schemer by Daniel Friedman and Matthias Felleisen helped me a lot. It builds up your knowledge in a conversational way to achieve understanding of quite complex ideas in simple terms. In that case, it builds up to an understanding of the halting problem, and then to the Y Combinator.

The click felt to me similar to understanding recursion for the first time--it doesn't fit into your head naturally. Once it does "click", even then you have to re-remember it later, and trace your logic on how you "realized" recursion.

Godel's Theorem brings that "feeling" of recursion and takes it to the extreme, in that its subject matter is "meta"-mathematical. So in the same way that recursion can't be grokked in terms of only loops, Godel's Theorem can't be grokked only in terms of equations.

I don't know if that made sense, I've also seen some links in this thread which I think may help as well

A lot of people seem to have read this and think that Burry is worried that the indices are weighted by market cap. That is not the issue.

The issue is that a large proportion of the index is smaller caps that no one bothers to look at and price properly, and yet massive amounts of money are in ETFs and other contracts that take a position on those smaller, less followed names.

So these small names in the large index have been artificially driven up. Sort of like CDOs. You just look at the rating, or the P/E of the 500 stocks in the SP500, but you don't bother to do a deep dive.

Were someone to do the deep dive, you would see that they are massively overvalued (and therefore so is the SP500, for instance).
There aren't any. These theorems apply to specific systems in finitary number theory with certain axioms. They're important, but they're important in mathematical logic, not rhetoric or anything like that.

At lot of comments here are saying "this is not evil, buisness people can and should do what they can get away with" (paraphrase) Some other comments point out why investors should object, even if it isn't evil.

I, for one, am grateful for this demonstration that transparency can work. I feel like the last several years have involved a lot of "here's someone/some company doing something really bad" and the world collectively shrugs. (I mean, lots of outrage too, but the shrugs win)

Here's a case where govt regulation (requiring the disclosure), people reporting, and individual reactions all did what they were supposed to do. (And I dont mean that the money was returned - I mean that there is sufficient pressure that he/the company actually feels a need to react).

It's a nice feeling, even if too rare.

> Are there any negatives to this approach?

Well, probs[x] can go negative when you decrease it, if I'm not mistaken.
So there are two concerns here. One concern is a problem with a certain asset being inflated, in this case S&P 500 stocks, and the money you might lose if you hold those assets and their value goes down to normal. A second concern is the collateral effects of a bubble bursting: the inflated assets are tied into many other assets/instruments, and untangling the mess caused by a rapid bubble burst may cause a financial crisis. The panic of 2007 (or at least, the liquidity freeze part of it) was not directly caused by devalued assets, but rather the fact that banks relied on those assets having a certain value to do basic, short-term lending, and their confidence in that value was blown away.

The second concern is not really a concern for long-term investors. Really, neither is the first. Maybe equity is inflated, but where else are we going to put our money?

I think that this article is mostly about risk. If you are not too concerned with risk in your investments (which you should not be if you are more than 10 years before retirement, probably), I think this article doesn't say much about what you should do with your money.
There is a range of active - passive even within ETFs that are trying to perform like an index. An example of this in Canada is say Horizons vs Vanguard that's "fully" passive. You pay higher fees for someone else to do the hedging (= protection from having your money in a passively managed ETF that has underlying assets that don't have a high trading volume) for you.

I don’t know how fast food companies brew it, but frequently coffee shops who do drips and care about the flavor more insist that the most important thing in drip coffee is a temperature that’s only around 10°F/5°C under boiling.

Of course if they do brew that, they won’t give it to you before either adding a bit of cool water (most places prefer to brew strong and then dilute) or letting it cool down (if they just insist on a strong-taste brand).

Coffee nuts are a fan of really high temperature in my experience. They just know that you can’t taste the difference if your first sip burns off your taste buds.
When the alternative is starvation, one becomes open to trying new/dangerous things. Given a number of starving groups with only poisonous plant A available, let's say only one group stumbles on a sequence of steps that work while the others die off. The survivors pass along the knowledge that poisonous plant A can be made edible by performing a sequence of steps (even without understanding exactly why those steps worked).

So now the descendants of those survivors can transfer that knowledge (i.e. that a poisonous plant can be made edible) the next time a food shortage occurs and all that is available is poisonous plant B. Rinse and repeat over and over again through the centuries.

Over time, the substances that no viable process was discovered for get labeled as poisonous. So now your 'culture' has a list of safe foods, a spectrum of unsafe foods that can be made safe (and how), and unsafe foods.

Yes, the liquidity risk seems the more interesting piece.

He seems to say that if you have trillions of dollars in ETFs, you should be seeing more volume in the shares in these indexes than we actually observe.

So some of this cash is going toward synthetics -- mathematical models that are supposed to mimic the underlying securities -- and not the actual stocks in the index.

In a general rout, the synthetics won't perform like you'd expect them to. Prices might eventually clear, but it's not "as good as cash" like many investors assume.

> Now the question becomes: how do I hedge out of this risk without going full day-trader?

Here's anecdata from the past: I spent a lot of time during the housing bubble working on a similar strategy. I came to the conclusion that shorting the banks (with leverage!) would be a profitable way to make money.

It turns out that was a beautiful and correct strategy, up until the moment the SEC decided to ban shorting. We got out with profit, but it was stressful and certainly nothing life-altering as a consequence of the SEC action. (bastards!) If you have seen The Big Short, they had a similar problem: Because the CDOs stopped trading, Goldman and company unilaterally declared that there was no problem. Since there was no market, there was no mark-to-market. Burry and friends were able to wait it out, but you'll notice that Burry had to exercise some extraordinary clauses in the contract; Dealing with your investors after that must have been all kinds of fun.

The moral of the story is probably something like: When you are profiting from the system melting down, the system will invent new rules to impede your profit, so be prepared.

Edit: BTW, I don't think mark-to-market accounting has ever been fully restored, but it's been a while since I checked.

If I spent $800 every 2 years (I suspect the mean replacement rate) on camera equipment I would quickly have a really incredible setup... I don't even need to because for a one-time price of $800 I could get a better setup than the very best smartphone around.
