Yes, of course ETFs take a cut. They are not run by non-profits. They are still a reasonable baseline and standard marker for the broader market, given their typically quite small management fees.

More importantly are you suggestinging individuals buy and weight all components of an ETF like VOO (500 stocks) themselves? Pretty ridiculous. Tracking error is real and there is an extreme time cost which makes hypothetical strategies like that unreasonable for most investors.

I also just don’t understand what your comment has to do with mine in the first place.

Hunger stones. Carved in one was the phrase, "If you see me, weep". [1]

Similar to the tsunami stones in Japan, where humans left carved stones that say things like, "High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants. Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point." [2]

During my time as a DoD contractor, I saw this happen.

One particular case was a mid-range officer [I'm never good with ranks so don't bother asking] who was up for promotion; it was an open secret that if he didn't get it he'd retire into civilian [and presumably commercial//industry] life. He didn't get the promotion, retired from military, and was duly replaced.
Sorry, you're right. I've edited it to be about the behavior instead of the person.
I would make the opposite argument: that at pretty much every point along the way, Signal has chosen purity over pragmatism. Which is why they didn't even have user profiles until recently, why they're just now getting group access control for a Slack-y experience, and why it's taking a fairly spectacular amount of engineering to get them off of phone numbers. Signal has a track record of delaying features common to messenger applications in order to get them cryptographically right. No other mainstream messenger tool has a comparable track record.
I'm confused. Are you saying placing small bets that aren't worth it for big management firms is a "legit strategy" to perform better on the scale of a retail investor, or not? I'm getting mixed messages.
Here's to looking silly in 2030:

- very few desktop applications will exist, they will have moved to web assembly powered browser applications

- way more people will work from home and most "work" software will attempt to support this through real-time collaboration powered by CRDT/MRDTs.

- the dat:// protocol, ipfs, and other attempts at creating a decentralized internet will not take off, but the concepts will have a resurgence in the later decade (or possibly in the 2040s) due to interplanetary or otherwise far-distance space internet.

- way more folks will support nuclear as climate change forces the issue

- quantum computers won't fundamentally change the way normal people think about encryption, but instead some sites/apps will be considered "insecure" in the same way not using https is today.

- private car ownership will be on it's last legs, ride shares via self-driving cars plus revamped public transit will be the way the majority of folks get around. New developments will be built as "car free" without garages and with restricted car usage like many city centers.

- people will eat significantly less meat

- deno + Typescript wins

- Typescript (or a TS variant) will be compiled directly to WASM on the browser

- way more people order food rather than cook for themselves

- Many subscription consumer apps will die as many more folks enter into the field, driving up cost-of-acquisition

- Stripe becomes one of the most valuable companies in the world

> I think this is Amazon's core strength: the continuity of leadership and vision that comes from having a single CEO who is deeply involved in everything.

Not only Amazon, it seems to be the case with other big tech companies:

- At Apple, this was famously 100% the case under Jobs. Under Tim Cook the company still very much seems cohesive on a single vision, is very, very focused in its products and from the outside it does look like upper-leadership takes credit for and oversees most things.

- Facebook still has Zuckerberg, which built the original product. Last I heard he was reorganizing the company so that "the heads of individual products, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and others, would report directly to him" [1].

This is really, really incorrect. Many, if not most, of the major crop plant diseases have nothing to do with animal agriculture. Wheat rust, potato blight, fire blight in fruit trees, citrus greening, verticillium wilt, various other fungal and bacterial pathogens — none of which have anything to do with factory animal farming.
I don’t think the money is the problem. Finding something useful and profitable to do for them is the hard part.
It's not hubris, it's showboating for internal politics. Not only will Norway not comply with such a ridiculous request, the ridiculousness of the request is the whole point because "only a true believer could request something so ridiculous".
You're absolutely right. My favorite illustration of this is history. A lot of Americans learn about things like the history of U.S. colonial rule in the Philippines and say, "OMG! If only they taught us things like this in high school, I would have been so fascinated and engaged! But my stodgy old teachers didn't want to teach us the controversial stuff that might have challenged our naive views about our country and our government."

But... they did, for precisely that reason. And you probably wrote down the right answers about U.S. colonial rule in the Philippines on quizzes and tests, but at age fifteen you weren't ready to care. "People a long time ago did stuff that my teacher thinks is sooooo interesting, blah blah blah." Those stodgy uptight teachers, the reason you thought they were so stodgy and conservative was because they tried to make you learn about U.S. colonial rule in the Philippines.

That's the way our minds work. We can overlook something right under our noses a thousand times if we aren't ready to see it, and then as soon as we're ready, it blows our minds.

My takeaway from reading the top voted 2010 predictions is that people are terrible about predicting what's going to happen 10 years later.

A few of them are correct (cheapish high density displays, commercially successful ebook readers, self-driving cars) but most are terribly inaccurate.

My fun (and probably wrong) predictions:

* Hacker News will still look mostly the same in 2030 as it does now and did in 2010.

* Most predictions in the parent post will be at most mildly accurate and otherwise completely wrong.

* The Artemis program, if it survives into the next administration, won't land anyone on the moon until the latter part of the decade (2025 or later).

* With the emerging increased commercial lift capacity we've been seeing in the last 5 years we'll possibly see the first commercial space station or at least the plans for one to start launching in the 2030's.

* (Unlikely) Elon will decide he wants his Roadster back. A Starship mission to demonstrate deep space recovery capability will launch to intercept the car and return it to Earth.

Strong magnetic fields in galaxies are very common.
http://scholarpedia.org/article/Galactic_magnetic_fields

But there is a huge problem with them. Like Alfven, I am against the idea of frozen magnetic fields. Frozen fields were invented to explain how magnetic fields can exist, without the need for electric currents. At that time they thought that space was a very good isolator. Thanks to laboratories and satellites we now know different.

With my background in electromagnetism, I have to go one step further: frozen fields are physically impossible. The papers and text-books about them show false usage of induction laws. As if magnetism behaves like a current, like in a waveguide with electromagnetic waves. Sadly this is completely false.
Induction in gasses or plasma behave a bit like those in a fluid, and they disperse the magnetic field. A bit like eddy currents. That is also what we see in our laboratories.

But magnetic fields can easily be caused by electric currents instead, because any electric current creates a magnetic field. This field is stronger when we measure closer to the current. So we can get very strong magnetic fields as we see inside young galaxies.
Link: https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/weirdly-strong...
So we have electric plasma currents, instead of "magnetic ropes". Like in our laboratories. But I am not sure whether the community is ready to accept that..

Instead of the dynamo model, strong electric currents can easily come from nuclear explosions. These have been reported, but due to the secrecy they are not openly reported. Just a magnetic field can create a homopolar dynamo in an electric current. Currents are usually circular, but in a large space and very high speeds, the charge can take a long time to come around. It will be very interesting to actually measure the scale at which these occur.

Now if we have a black-hole like object in the centre of a galaxy, that spews out matter into 2 main directions. Because it also has a magnetic field, it is very likely that this matter has a certain charge. So this creates a current in the galaxy, which also generates the magnetic field. This how I think the magnetic field is generated.

The strength of these electric currents is in the order of 1/R, where R is the distance travelled. That is because currents are usually concentrated into one direction, like lightning, and only resistance hinders it. Magnetic objects encounter a force of 1/R^4 because magnetic objects have 2 poles. So these electric currents can transfer energy over very long distances.

As this matter-beam reaches the edge of the galaxy, it will turn around and go back to the galaxy. And because it has some charge, it will create a polarizing field in the halo.It would be interesting to see if there is also some sustained charge in these halos.

I suspect that the Fermi bubbles might have an opposite charge.
1. Trust in journalists and news publications will continue to crater due to their inability to resist clickbait, sloppy ethic controls, and constant hyperboles.

2. China will enter a pronounced recession that is it unable to hide from the world.

3. The EU will lose at-least one more member nation after the United Kingdom leaves.

4. The credibility of scientist and research universities will hit all time lows as the effects of the replication crisis become more pronounced and climate changes predictions prove less accurate than lay people find acceptable. I expect this to result in a large pullback in funding for research that lacks a direct practical application.

5. Negative interest rates in EU will force more global dependency on the US dollar.

6. At-least one more country will adopt or de facto adopt the US dollar as their nation currency (dollarization).

7. The US will adopt a single payer or universal health care system.

China trying to interfere with another country’s internal affairs. The irony.
China doubles down on censorship and authoritarian government, but in the same time becoming world leader in some technology frontiers, stabilizing its government and leading to further polarization in tech. America no longer maintains its technology edge in silicon over the rest of the world.

Hong Kong becomes just a providence in China not because military intervention but because economic stagnation.

New houses are sold without kitchen and garage. City planning becomes a hot new field.

Wearable tech becomes much more in fashion. Medical devices tracking sleep, diet, or exercises are not only ubiquitous but necessary.

Rust takes off. Programming in Python becomes standard curriculum in high schools. We have less programmers, but more professionals who also programs.

Data Science is no longer a buzzword but just another part of programming. Modeling becomes less important, but the so call "ML OPS" will take off.

Math becomes much more important in programming and a sexy degree for college students.
To be fair, some of these borders are de facto permanently closed and the listed end dates listed are bullshit. Some have been maintained for nearly 5 years, with a new “temporary” 6-month closure being announced immediately after the last one ends. These countries are pretty blatantly violating Schengen but no one is going to enforce anything because that would probably force the dissolution of or withdrawal from the treaty.
Thanks for your feedback. I've researched both the options before working on this and there are hardly not many companies where all selected values would match if going with AND. We have around 37 values and each company has a different set of values. Instead we have built tags for each job that would highlight which of the selected values are matching. Additionally, I believe the search bar would help narrow down results to relavant job titles or location which would bring down the results to few. In those filtered results, if a company/job is matching all the values you have selected, it will highlight all of them in the job card. Hope this helps. Having said the above, we are expanding to more companies and roles and there could be 'AND' soon if we could see enough matches. Thanks again!

Fly Operated Turtle (Patent – 1926)
It seems to me that as a back of the envelope estimation might be:

Suppose we say that an organization has n employees and that everyone in a position of leadership leads m people. The result would be a m-ary tree whose height is roughly:

h = log_m ((m - 1) * n))

If we say that there are l levels of seniority before one becomes a VP, then anyone not in the bottom l levels of the tree is a VP.

h_vp = # of levels of VPs = h - l

The number of VPs would then equal the number of nodes in a complete m-ary tree of height h_vp:

n = (m^h_vp) / (m - 1)

(Forgive me if I made any mistakes in my math, it's been a long time since I took algebra.)
Pretty concerned about how the EU will evolve. There is little introspection post brexit, and it appears to be just as rigid and clueless as before the vote.

On a positive note, I really really hope electric cars will become more accessible - both for consumers and for manufacturers (i.e.: small companies will get access to batteries and be able to build EVs themselves).
Certainly an anomaly, but there's a distribution to the number of ICs assigned to the lowest level managers (M1/M2s). I've seen anywhere from 3 to 30. The people with 30 basically just jumped from 1:1 to 1:1 on repeat biweekly.
