I can't speak for Wealthfront, but managed "funds" are typically balanced across high and low risk securities. Thus they will obviously lag behind even index funds like SPY/QQQ. Where managed funds tend to show benefits is in times of high volatility or downturns. Ask yourself how many downturns you've seen in the age of Wealthfront. Because I count 0.

That's actually incorrect, to my understanding. If you have 100k in your bank account for a year, the lender doesn't care when you pay your down payment out of that regardless of where it came from. They object when there's a recent transfer/deposit of that money because it could indicate an undocumented loan, throwing off the debt to income calculations.

Not on private property you don't need a license. Similarly, a business on private property should be able to dictate a mask or vaccination isn't required. You shouldn't have a right to dictate what kind of consensual conduct happens on private property.

In Texas, I can get hammered, drive a car drunk without a license behind a fence 10 feet next to the highway (property-side). And there's not a damn thing you can legally do about it, despite any fears I may plow through that fence. The suggested (stricken) OSHA mandates were basically forcing non-consensual penetration, or lose your job.

>That's not totally true. This Texas-based DWI defense attorney says:

You conveniently skipped the top of the page where it explicitly says DWI in Texas must occur in public (a fenced in private property is almost never considered public). Sure a cop can probably find a reason to arrest you no matter what you're doing, if they want to.

>Obviously you should be able to be unvaccinated only on private property then...

Most businesses are on private property. Given that the fourth amendment protects us from handing over documents except on subpeona/court order or probable cause of crime (a few states do compel revealing your identity, although you don't have to reveal your age if the crime is age-related such as alcohol violation), and you can't tell by looking at someone if they're vaccinated, it would essentially be meaningless to make it a crime to be unvaccinated while walking to work for instance. Controlling vaccination is far easier on private property, where you have no freedom to travel and can thus be stopped and checked before entering.
It's quite different in most regards: I'm super-tired all the time, need a nap every afternoon, my endurance is extremely low (lifting a kettle feels like lifting a weight, climbing the stairs feels like climbing a hill) and simple activities tire me out waaay more than they should. If I do anything remotely strenuous, then it does kind of hit me like narcolepsy - within the space of a few seconds I become extremely tired, like I've been drugged, and I have to sleep.

CFS remains a diagnosis of exclusion, and it's quite likely that it's a label that actually represents several conditions, and people are affected to varying degrees - some are bed-bound, for example.
But we do strongly encourage condom usage and tests. There are education resources and awareness campaigns.

> Instead the government should be focused on expanding highly covid specific care capacity. That is by far a better way to spend the covid relief money than distributing it to sustain a nebulous lockdown.

This is not something the government can do. It's not something anyone can do. What you're asking for (though you may not know it) is for their to suddenly be more nurses and medical practitioners. That's not a thing that can just suddenly happen, or even happen with 2-3 years of prep. You need a decade to actually functionally increase the supply of nurses and specialists.

Now there are lots of short term fixes the government has done, such as activating the national guard in locations (to reduce non-medical load on nurses) and hospitals can pause elective services to free up space and time, but that has huge downsides since it means people get life saving nonemergency surgeries like cancer removal.

So we did do that, and there is a bit of irony there. Back in the 80s AIDS was used to push homophobia and lots of states passed laws making promoting homosexuality illegal.

Pfizer probably got an extra $50 for you this particular year, in addition to the hundreds or thousands of dollars it gets from you every year. If you want to attack drug pricing, drug patents and pharma profits, the time to do that is every year, not just special ones.

The big question for this vaccine is why we rewarded this fully taxpayer-funded development and testing with a patent monopoly.

(These are harsh points of view and not necessarily ones I hold. I'd like them to be savagely attacked for the sake of discussion.)

- If you are poor, maybe you should be searching for work or other betterment of your situation rather than posting on social media? Maybe it should be free to view posts tagged and verified as "Help Wanted"?

- Why are poor people entitled to use a social network just due to their economic status, especially since it seems to be a given that because a social network is a private company, it can deplatform users and remove posts as it sees fit?

- Why does the existence of ad-supported platforms where users are really transacting watching ads for using a service always lead to certain groups of people thinking that they are entitled to that company's services for free? No, you didn't have to pay $1/post to use Facebook but you are paying through data surveillance and ads. The poor person is going to get exploited either way.

- If someone doesn't see value in paying to post on social media, maybe I would like to have a space separate from them.

- What is the real difference between charging companies for allowing you to post ads on their platform and charging users to post content that isn't categorized as ads? Isn't all social media posts in a sense advertisement?

I know there was a line of mice that did wifi instead of BT too, because that makes sense.

> I'd say the answer to that should be determined by the hospital capacity. If a region has sufficient hospital capacity that it would not be overwhelmed by the increase in COVID cases among the unvaccinated go ahead and lift most restrictions.

You forget the second order effect here: the more unvaccinated people hospitals have to treat, the more likely their nurses and doctors are to quit, even if "the hospital is not overloaded". The more likely they are to quit, the more likely people are to die of other preventable causes in the future (because once they're burned and quit, they're not coming back).
Many people who start off with Robos like Wealthfront actually leave once their net worth rises and pay more for human advisors.

If you need to invest a small/decent amount of money into stocks, Robos work wonderfully. It's a mass production angle -- good quality service at lower cost to many people; the Ford Model T of investing. Early robot just had a couple of investment options, and now there are more options but the same concept of limited choice at scale (Mustangs, Minvans, Trucks in my example)

Once you have estate planning and complicated tax issues, human advisors provide a lot of guidance to people that is hyper specific to you and your location / niche, which Robos just don't cover. Wealthfront, for example, won't arbitrate a dispute between beneficiaries of a family trust.

I think lawyers are a good comparison here. If you need some standard cookie-cutter incorporation docs, there's a bunch of websites where you can get some core documents for free or a few hundred dollars. But if you're afraid of making the wrong choice, or if you're in a situation that goes beyond the common scenarios (like M&A), then you hire a lawyer to provide you personalized advice.
Thank you. I’m realising my understanding of licenses was inaccurate and that I really ought to scrutinise projects more thoroughly.
Another forward-looking statement might be that "governments will require constant 24-hour curfews 10 years from now". After all, that's just projecting and extrapolating from recent historical events (temporary movement restrictions, or lockdowns).

Anyone can make "forward looking statements". If they're going to be useful and not dismissed as hysterical fear-mongering, then it helps if they're actually credible.
> More interesting is to observe the simultaneity of the CCP allowing Fight Club to be released at all in China

The answer is that private companies in China operate autonomously of the censors, but have to get things past them in the end. So in this case, some company (Tencent Video) found value in releasing Fight Club on its platform, and made the cuts necessary to do that. The CCP would have never chosen Fight Club specifically for release, and if the censors/CCP were aware of the actual ending before they reviewed it, they might not have allowed it to be released at all. But in this case, they were surely unaware, and merely saw a film with a harmonious ending.

Coincidentally, I always hear the "where is my mind" song in my head when in Beijing during Chinese New Years (when...lots of fire crackers make it sound like all the buildings around are being exploded).

I mostly agree, but I think the core difference with HIV is how it's transmitted. You're more in control of your transmission risk.

That's less true with Covid given its contagiousness through the air.

I'm of the opinion that private companies have every right to require restrictions they see fit. I'm more mixed about government restrictions now that we're post vaccine (with the exception that requiring vaccine mandates for healthcare workers seems reasonable).

What gets to me about this whole thing is it's not binary but people often talk like it is (probably just political tribalism).

Vaccinated people who are infected spread the disease like the unvaccinated, that's true - but since vaccinated people are much less likely to get infected on exposure things like the vaccine mandates for restaurant entry do have an affect and are not just theater. They reduce the overall probability of positive people in the restaurant.

I think people like Bret Weinstein have done a lot of harm and I'm often surprised by the extent to which intelligence is independent from accuracy.

It's really interesting in the context of this book review: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/06/04/book-review-the-secret...

Basically, the argument in that is a little reason (incompletely applied or understood) can be a dangerous thing and blindly following consensus is sometimes the adaptive behavior. It's a little misapplied to vaccines since in that case someone did actually know the details and understand the mechanism, but it's possible for a cultural understanding to be entirely selected by natural selection and the reason for it was never understood by anyone!

When we see animals do complex behavior we don't usually assume it's because they understand fully why that mechanism is adaptive, but we often misapply this understanding to ourselves.

Mostly getting off topic, but I thought this was an interesting thing to think about.
You edited your comment.

> one run and one meal is not gonna make or break someones weight

On the contrary, we have had two years of this pandemic. Government messaging could have been a lot stronger on the benefits of exercise. That's 2 years for people to become healthier.

And "one vaccine" has turned into one vaccine plus boosters. Everyone is going to get Covid at some point. General fitness will remain one of the best long term ways of combating the virus.

The Parkrun is a weekly occurrence, and is popular even for those who do not have an interest in exercise as a hobby, as it is informal. As such, it acts as an important gateway to a healthier lifestyle.

I'm by no means alone in seeing banning it as counterproductive, and not "following the science".

Mass personalization in investment would only really work if it makes sense to truly personalize investments given the huge uncertainties involved. But I am sure people will happily sell this and find willing buyers.
A better start would be to simply bring back downvotes. Tweak the algorithm to seriously hamper the visibility of posts with a high downvote ratio.

While this might gain us "only" mediocrity, even mediocrity would be a huge step up to the current status quo that vastly overrepresents content that is actively harmful to society, meaning conspiracy theories, right wing propaganda and general fake news. The next step would be having enough professional and human(!) moderators that curate the content further.

Of course these steps would go against the financial interest of the big tech monopolists because the controversial, radical content is what keeps people most engaged. Angry and negative content just generates way more revenue than friendly, positive and fact based one.
I think wordle does just run indefinitely on the client. It has a word list in its JS which has the list of winning words in order, so you can see the upcoming ones. And the current word is somewhere in localstorage as well. Obviously not much fun if you poke around there too much, but my guess is it just checks the current date and indexes the words array and sets all the state from there.
