That's not the definition of passive investing, what you're talking about is the distinction between agency trading and proprietary trading.

ARKK are active investors because they're using discretion to pick specific investments.

They say so themselves: "ARKK is an actively managed ETF"

lots of posts here about California rail. Nothing yet about the Acela Express from Boston to NYC to Phila to DC (with stops at many smaller cities in between like New Haven, Newark, etc).

To call it "express" is some kind of sick joke. Its an 8+ hour ride.

There is a large section thru Connecticut where the train must slow down significantly (40 mph iirc) because the route on which the tracks laid down is 100 years old. The curves, etc are simply not rated for anything faster. Getting rights of way adjusted to fix that for HSR use would require an act of God or Congress since there must be dozens of jurisdictions involv
After doing mobile dev that has worked directly with the Android Camera API, it shows. I believe Snapchat notoriously was held up, back in the day at least, in rolling out Android features due to how much of a mess it was.

Bluetooth has traditionally been another disaster zone. The low level APIs for interfacing with hardware shows a distinct lack of care for how the developer experiences things.

And on a meta level, either I'm improving way more than I give myself credit for, but whenever I dive under the hood these days of certain Android libraries, the underlying quality and elegance of design seems to be decreasing over time and questioning how certain PMs let some instances of kludges past their review process that I, who will never, ever pass a Google interview process, would reject completely out of hand if someone put them in a PR to a codebase I managed. I'm noticing a certain amount of increasing Reflection usage bleeding into libraries these days that you would expect at a widget factory who lost the original source code, not a FAANG company inside their own core platform. It betrays either a loss of control of the situation by product managers, or, more likely, teams are increasingly not able to interact across project departments and collaboration is being replaced with increasing inter-team hostility/indifference.

> what differentiates HN from Reddit?

The fact that people here entertain the delusion that HN is different from Reddit.
I’ve posted our full stack above, but we have had excellent results and zero problems with security (that weren’t our own fault) with .NET Core and Postgres — both are very mature, time-tested, and secure by design.

For hosting, Linode is an independent cloud provider that has secure and reliable service. I’ve heard good things about Digital Ocean, too.

You can use Cloudflare or another specialty company for an extra layer of protection against DDoS attacks and such.

One important note about security and technology, in general:

It is at least as important, if not more so, to configure and use the technology properly as it is to choose any particular one.

There is no software or service whose security can’t be rendered completely ineffective by lack of care or expertise.

>and corporate accounting.

Yes. That page align with Apple Accounting. Since 2017 Apple has been putting iOS cost and development, SDK as part of their Services Strategy expenses.

In a sense Apple is now think you are buying iPhone just as Hardware ( with huge margins ), and you are paying for all the development of iOS, macOS through their Services Revenue coming from App Store and Google Search.

In Steve Jobs days Apple used to lump all those together as one product. But now you are basically renting the usage of iOS and Apple experience Hence from Apple's POV the user aren't even paying enough for the usage of iOS.
> Institutional Ownership % doesn't mean squat as far as trading activity goes. You and I could trade 1 share back and forth a billion times, and it wouldn't have any impact on institutional ownership %.

We're talking about pricing/valuation, not trading volume.

Institutional ownership does convey relevant information in regards to valuation, because it tells you who bought and didn't later sell, and therefore who contributed net buy flow over the last year.

Trades that get closed (i.e., trades that contribute to volume but not ownership) don't have permanent price impact in expectation, and are therefore not useful for answering the question of "why is this stock so high for no good reason?".

> The vast majority of trade activity recently is from ARK. You can see this by looking at the link I showed and compare how their "WEIGHT IN PROTFOLIO %' dropped despite their "SHARES HELD" has remained constant.

I don't get this logic.

If portfolio % drops but shares held remained constant, that means they largely stopped trading NNDM and increased the size of their other (non-NNDM) holdings.

Also, that link shows they traded only a few million in volume in March in NNDM, but total NNDM volume over that month was in the hundreds of millions. So they only traded 1-2% of total volume.

> Dilution reduces Institutional Ownership %, as well as individuals ownership %

Why do you say this? If they do an at-the-market offerring and sell it on-market primarily to retail bids, the retail ownership % will increase proportionally.
Having used both, they're both pretty evenly awful.
This is surfacing the somewhat fuzzy terminology here.

You could argue bitcoin is centralized by that same logic because it depends of the internet.

The immune system and the ways in which the body distinguishes “good” and “bad” stuff, based on my super limited understanding, seems like it’s based on peer information and a sort of voting rather than relying on a central definitive source of information about what’s bad so as to avoid catastrophic failure that would result from corruption of that definitive source.

Given how insanely complex the body is and how many problems its solving I think you could find different systems and pieces that were decentralized, centralized, distributed, etc.

>I think public health estimated actual infection rates are 5x the reported case counts. Where are cases easy to measure? In schools and work where you can easily know who was there. Where are they hard to measure? In informal social gatherings among rule breakers.

A large part of why infection rates are higher is because a lot of people simply don't get tested, be it because their workplace doesn't want them to (happened to a lot of people I know), or because they have light or no symptoms. Otherwise, people who were infected in a party and then infect other people that do get tested have a high likelihood to get traced as sources of infection too. Besides, there is no obligation to cooperate with contact tracing, if you go get tested after going to a party you can simply not say anything, so I don't really see why people that get infected at a party wouldn't get tested. On the converse, the one party-goer I know of apparently gets tested weekly, but hey that's anecdotal and low quality.

>As for data: there’s an easy way to settle this. Find infection per capita in quebec vs ontario vs bc before the first curfew, and after. It’s the only major difference. I think Quebec’s relative numbers improved post curfew, but I don’t have good time series on hand. Know of any?

The issue for this is that sadly the curfew was not implemented alone.

That said, one can look at when the curfew was extended to 9h30PM, and indeed there is no significant difference.

More of a perception change rather than an actual change I think. FWIW, I've always hired to "fill gaps" and not to "add stars". Now, do I want a great person who can fill that gap? Sure. But the priority is the gap, not the person.

There are those mythical people for whom "if you interview they will 'make' a position so they can hire you" is said to be true. In my experience, people who are hired because they seem like super stars rather than for a particular role, do not do as well. Why? Because it usually automatically puts them in conflict with the person who is already doing that role, and second, what they should be doing isn't immediately apparent leading to some meandering around which is perceived by upper management as being 'non-productive.'

Old people die. Sorry, the world is made in a way where old people die and young people live. If you don't like it - take it up with the way the universe works.

I don't know when it's been decided that we're going to prevent young people from living, so that people who are going to die soon anyway get a few more years.

I mean, the entire system is made up of exploiting young people so that old rich scum get richer but uh, how long can this go on? Young people don't even have children anymore, while the profits of old rich scum are record high. This trend obviously can't continue so I'm waiting for a voice of reason to say 'enough of this shit already, you're not going to live forever and we're not going to walk on egg-shells for the rest of our lives to appease your irrational fear of death'.

Oh, one more thing - if you give a shit about people not dying of viruses world-wide - try not letting virus carrying things travel world-wide because it's 'fun'. I mean, what kind of games are we playing here? This is a self inflicted wound by stupid rich people that everyone else now has to pay for.

I don't know much about this company but they have been emailing me three times this year.

I've never signed up, visited their website, or used them, no idea how they got my email. My guess is it was stolen from Github, but whatever.

Their email starts with "I saw your profile" (uhh, which one?) and ends with "Best regards, Turing Team" (wait, a team and not a person is mailing me all of the sudden?). All three emails have exactly the same body text, and all have a typo in my first name. So it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

could you be more specific?
The reliance on unusual concepts - like asymptomatic transmission and the effect of wearing masks which have become semi-religious in their belief even though there isn’t really any actual solid RCT evidence they do that much good out in the field rather than in the lab (much like hydroxychloroquine which is similarly effective in a lab but not in the field). There is no blow out in Texas et al and Sweden has just tracked the same path as everybody else suffering much less than Belgium for example, and today isn’t anywhere near the top of the charts.

There’s an awful lot of curve fitting to beliefs going on - because it is so difficult to do solid experiments.

This is an interesting article and here are some broadly relevant points:

1) HN didn't know a lot about COVID at the time it emerged into the world. If nobody was trying to inform HN about COVID, is that a failing? Probably not. It seems highly likely to me that the actual scientists had good research done on respiratory diseases and probably got a handle on the situation quickly. HN getting detailed information like this ~12-18 months after the outbreak is actually pretty speedy.

2) The mass media were and probably will continue to be serially wrong about COVID, which is expected of the media. They aren't in the business of being technically correct. If they were interested in being technically correct they'd be too squeamish to work in the media. Ditto if they had any deep understanding of how to control infectious diseases they'd have gone into careers in epidemiology rather than journalism, they're learning this stuff at the same speed as everyone else.

3) There aren't a lot of new learnings in the pandemic. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that governments can't organise themselves to deal with a crisis in less than 6 months, the government isn't a rapid response outfit. Based on the patterns of success and failure of responses it seems recent memory of SARS is a better predictor of outcomes than competence, so a lot of the broad flows of events were probably predictable and predicted in advance. Some new ideas is that this JIT business is madness, and the amount of travel people do spreads diseases in an eyebrow raising fashion (maybe there should be less of it?).

4) I think the real take away from this is that crazy preppers aren't actually crazy, and having some reserves (financial or otherwise) put aside for disasters is still a good idea.

Allt om Indien på ett ställe
I disagree.

The pricing of post-IPO stocks is responsible for trillions of dollars of capital allocation, since the amount that public companies can raise is linearly proportional to the stock price.

It's not an unimportant problem to get right, unless you think it doesn't matter whether billions of dollars get allocated to GME versus MRNA.

A clown show where GME gets all the funding (due to its high stock price) and real companies don't is not going to lead to a productive and healthy economy.

Jack Ma is an CCP insider. I think it would be better described as "trusted" CCP insider.

> trying to get a piece of the action, diluting or even eliminating the benefit for everyone.

So join in. You are aware of the action. It's not like we are doing this for a bit of fun. The crowd wisdom is there, the hedge funds don't have a monopoly on polling it or analyzing it. Then redistribute the wealth for the benefit of everyone. Those very hard in on the action are not going to.

> but doesn't work if they're clueless and are all trying to buy into the same bubble.

Yes, this is correct, and a big problem in crowd analytics. Or at least, it has a big negative effect (you ideally want everyone to make decisions of their own accord, using their own information). But you can also again harnass this with counter trading strategies. Over the years, it has been fairly easy to call the top of a hype, and predict the obvious correction. So for instance, if the Teletubbies twitter is tweeting about Bitcoin, you know that maybe now is time to sell some Bitcoin, and rebuy back in 6 months when all newspapers are writing about how Bitcoin is a scam and a world-wide crypto ransom attack just occured.

The problem can be overcome in a couple of ways. An interesting one is: "skin-in-the-game". If your wrong hype predictions damages your reputation or causes money loss, you are more serious about it. Another is to ask: What percentage of other people do you think got this question wrong? People who answer Sydney as the capitol of Australia, think that few got it wrong. People who give the correct answer think that many will get it wrong.

> You do realize that the stock market is exactly that, right?

Partly yes. The difference with crowdsourcing is that you are building a model on top of the other participants. Many day traders with bots do not know that hedge funds have models more complex tracking what they are doing and going to do, than the bot is complex. But many day traders also underestimate how they'd stack up against an office of suits, if they worked together, and ramen-noodle hacked it.
