Um... What?

If you know what an index fund is, how to purchase index funds, and know which index funds to invest in, by definition, you are not an "uniformed investor." You might argue "... rabble rabble you should know these things..." but that doesn't change that a large portion of the population doesn't and is extremely overwhelmed by it.

I've never used Wealthfront personally but I assume its basically like a bank account - just transfer money in and everything else is taken care of for you. That's a really, really valuable service and it's well worth the small fee for some percentage of population. Otherwise they'd 1) not invest and lose out on gains and dividends or 2) lose massive amounts of money buying financial products sold to them by "financial advisors" with a 6% load and 1% fee. (Not an exaggeration)

Is it a service for me? No. But not every service is something I'd be interested in, that's ok.

My little cousin wanted to save more for retirement and heard about IRAs. He asked me how to set up and IRA and recommendations on what company to use. I recommended Fidelity with just an s&P 500 index to start. He got really overwhelmed even though I offered to help him click-by-click. He decided not to set up the IRA until he found Wealthfront. He loves the simplicity and that everything is taken care of for him. He's really happy he can save for retirement without worrying about doing something "wrong." Now, my cousin is a smart guy, so I think he'll move past Wealthfront eventually once he learns more, but it's really useful for him now.

> Microsoft didn't lose any lawsuit in the US for for tying its web browser to Windows

Microsoft did lose the suit in 1999. They then appealed and settled with the DOJ a few years later.
The same exact thing later happened with vaccines. They were tested to be effective at significantly reducing the severity of illness and death. Public discourse diluted this to "vaccines prevent covid", and then when people got breakthrough cases, some started claiming they "don't work because you can get it anyway".
The case against Apple starts with recognizing that vertical markets aren't all the same. The market for phones isn't the same as the market for apps.

In particular, there are two separate app markets. A phone customer can choose Android or iOS. An app developer can't choose which store to use to distribute their apps. They have to use the one their customer uses. If they have customers on both, they have to use both, and have no choice.

The analogy would be two huge landlords that together own all the real estate in a city and also own the only two shipping companies in the city. A "real estate customer" has a choice in where to live. An online retailer doesn't get to choose where their customers live. The two shipping companies each only ship to the customers who live in that company's apartments.

The online retailer, who is the customer of the shipping company, has no choice in what shipping company to use. If their own customer lives in one company's apartments, they must use that shipping company. It's a shipping monopoly. There is a significant identifiable set of destinations for which no other provider of shipping services exists, and none can exist because the same company prohibits anyone else from delivering to them. Either that's an antitrust violation or we need new antitrust laws.

The current norm is that many products are focusing on the statistically optimal approach - low fee, market returns - and they're competing on price and order execution which benefits individual investors.

And the future is about giving investors more ways to damage their returns by actively trading and arbitrarily customizing their strategy.
I mentioned this in another subthread, but have you checked out Obsidian [1]?

- It's a product, not a service (they do offer their own paid syncing service though)

- It is backed by plaintext: markdown files in folders. As for Git, I'm pretty sure you could use it easily- and I noticed there's also a community-supported Git integration plugin [2].

- Just tested link renaming, it's there.

- It does have a tagging system. I haven't used it extensively enough to see if the rest of your requirements are met, but it seems very thorough.

- The desktop and mobile clients do support full-text search. Not sure how it's indexed but it is quite fast.

- Server + browser interface: unfortunately, it doesn't look like this is the case out of the box, but since the files are Just Markdown On A Filesystem I feel like you could probably just have a completely unrelated server to make changes to them.

- Native desktop app: hate to break the news, but the desktop app is Electron. That being said, it's extremely snappy and doesn't seem like a complete memory hog. (A cursory check of Activity Monitor says it's got four processes running, using 127 MB, 73 MB, 55MB, and 11.8MB.)

- Sync over git/github- again, community supported, but the plugin [2] looks quite solid and offers plenty of the kind of features you might like. I would also note that because everything's just Markdown files, other syncing mechanisms like Dropbox or iCloud "just work". They have a mobile app as well, and seamless iCloud syncing has been the killer feature for me.

- Publishing is an interesting one. They do have a paid service which allows you to "publish" vaults, which basically means they do the static rendering and then host it for you. It looks like their static rendering gives the published version of a vault a "table of contents" pane and other stuff. I imagine it wouldn't be too tricky to do this oneself, and you could possibly even integrate it into the editor.

- So, CLI/Vim editing works like a dream. I just edited a file from Vim and immediately saw it updated in the desktop and mobile apps. Updating backlinks works in the app just fine, but simply moving files around in the filesystem doesn't update backlinks.

- Yeah, this kinda is a whole concern of its own, but for what it's worth: images and media are stored in the same directory structure as Markdown files, and can be embedded into a "note" via linking. (like ![[imagename.jpg]]). So I imagine you could keep them in a separate directory that's gitignored or something like that.

I never get past the saving problem.

Last time (a few weeks ago) I tried rclone with WebDAV. I do what the instructions say, I get a local web site where I can open the empty.hmtl, I do the basic setup, write a tiddler, it says "Saved" and the empty.html is still pristine and never gets written.

The times before that I tried several other ways documented on their web site, but failed with all of them. git? Only GitHub (and GitLab) seem to be supported, not my own git repo. Or SourceHut.

Cloud connectors? Which of the three? I've tried at least one of them, didn't work.

A past employer almost went with this approach, but with a technical audience it's hard to cover all the edge cases with RSS. People get cranky when they get pinged when an article updates superficially, but you also want people updated when the article is basically completely rewritten

Safer to just publish a new article when there's a sufficient amount of content to update. Link the articles together somehow. Maybe add a disclaimer to older (and not updated) articles that they might no longer be valid

Also solves the problem others have mentioned where they don't trust the date on articles. If you have a solid previous article to link to, you're more likely to build trust that the new one really is new
Agreed. Quotation mark functionality in Google seems to be sadly dysfunctional.

I guess I buried the lede. I probably should have just focused on the allintext: operator in my comment. That's the operator that makes a huge difference in my searches and that I wanted to share.
Notable has most of what you want except for the git integration. Though the author maintains that you can just save your notebooks to a git repo.

Yes, completely agree. That happens when all of the other estate planning costs begin to vastly outweigh the cost of investment advising. I'm no expert, but I am under the impression that although these automated strategies are a smaller part of the whole picture for high net-worth individuals, the strategies are still the same.

I'm interested to see if UBS can add value in those ways you mentioned, while still using sophisticated automated strategies for cost savings purposes.

Also note that Vanguard, JPM, Schwab, Fidelity etc. are getting in the robo-advising/direct indexing game.
I do recall that one of the features that Wealthfront had was to design their UX in a way that discouraged behaviors like frequently checking the valuations, making it annoying to make emotional transactions, etc, etc. Rather than having a human tell you to be calm, they tried to mediate behavior through UX patterns.

> This attitude disgusts me. Be better.

You've said absolutely nothing. The entire response was to condescend.

Many have died when people look downwards on others with disgust towards them without rationale. Just look at what hitler did to the rats he held power over. Its truly astounding narcissism to think oneself so much greater than another individual.
> [In Bitcoin] the power is moved from a monarch, a single point of failure, but it’s moved to nowhere. For example, who owns Bitcoin? Nobody!

What? Ownership/power is distributed among all the miners, albeit a number much bigger than 7. It still exists and can (and will eventually) be consolidated by a majority cartel.

The article is correct about ENS, but implying that N=1000000 power shares (approx # of Bitcoin mining individuals, likely trending down as mining margins decrease) is different than N=7 power shares (ENS sigs) in the realm of security guarantees is just smoke and mirrors. Neither system abolishes power nor is immune to manipulation.
So we did build the DDL handwritten and did well on that portion of the product, but given the constraint of me being the only person to write the parser for the DML, along with having to be done and error free in three weeks where I was also occupied, all while being written in C, I felt yacc really helped a lot there.

The big thing for this particular project was all the pitfalls of C with having to track memory allocations and passing arrays of pointers around and mentally keeping track. Yacc streamlined this a lot. If this was a production project and not a class I took along side four other, hand writing would be a serious option I'd consider (mostly for error reporting purposes like you mentioned), but I might even lean towards getting an MVP done in a parser generator and eventually converting over to handwritten if the need arose.
I attempted to make an argument like that 2 weeks ago.

I was using an estimate of 120m instead of the 146 that you quoted. And I'm just a dummy on the internet, so I'm probably at least a little wrong. But the gist was that if you could jab everyone tomorrow (which you can't), you might get a little bit of a benefit in the stats, but politically you'd be dead

There's no reason hospitals can't still fill up anyway if you have enough volume.

Been awesome to be using and be a part of Epsilon3 since the beginning. It's been great to see the team evolve, the traction grow, and the product become indispensable.

Also great to see our engineer and CNC machine featured in the front pic!
> I rather think of vaccination as a responsibility toward your fellow citizens, rather than a "choice".

I don't understand this argument. Maybe I'm being ignorant or childish but since when do we live in a world that as a person you have to be responsible for "fellow citizens".

Don't get me wrong I don't mean we shouldn't be nice or care about other people but no one owe me anything and I don't owe anybody anything. Don't we all learn that in life at some point?

I get the COVID is dangerous and vaccines help but don't put me responsible for you.
How to be a lot more interesting
> This includes possibly seeking to register .ETH through the normal ICANN process”

This is a non-starter anyway. The new gTLD program has not been open for applications since 2012. Even if it were to reopen tomorrow, ICANN is highly unlikely to approve a gTLD that does not operate under a standard registry/registrar model. I'm not certain that they'd even be willing to consider it.
They are usually competent when it comes to suing companies but yes, I agree and there is a worrying trend.
This makes no sense. It's incredibly clear at this point that vaccinated people with covid spread it just the same as an unvaccinated person with covid.
> It doesn't have to be written law passed by a government for something to be "legally required".

People who believe that smartphones are "legally required" in the US certainly do have a firm grip on "reality".

Am I doing this double quote thing right?
At some point you'd usually have to put a bond.
I strongly disagree. These kinds of annoyances are not acceptable, as the no-nonsense alternative (switching manually) is just great in comparison.
I have an easy setup that’s close to what you want. From fidelity I got my account and routing number. I took that to my payroll provider (ADP) and changed my direct deposit instructions to send a fixed amount per paycheck to my checking account, and everything over to my fidelity account. I still have to login every two weeks and buy shares with whatever was just deposited but it’s very easy with the app. It looks like that could also be automated, but only for automated buys of mutual funds. I only use ETFs so haven’t played with that portion. This setup works really well for me!
> "...decontaminate your hands because the pollutant will absorb through your skin, into your blood, and then into your brain, and probably lower your IQ!"

It probably makes sense to move to less polluted areas and such, but I doubt excessive hand washing and those smaller habits would do much. I think we'd see a clear effect of successful people being compulsive handwashers? I mean, there are impurities in other things we can't control as well (air, water, food), so minimizing impurity from the hand only makes a very small difference. Still, brilliant people live in polluted places like LA (Terence Tao comes to mind!), various places in China, etc. so it doesn't seem to determine your outcome -- in fact, research shows the impact is small (but it does exist). Success is determined by the big factors and knowledge/wisdom-based choices, not being a few percent faster or more effective at solving puzzles -- unless you're in a particularly competitive job (maths competitions, professional athlete, professional chess player, etc.). Most mathematicians choose to explore different directions, different fields instead of competing head to head to solve single problems[1]. Our bodies and brains are also remarkably robust to small loads of impurities... in fact, one of the techniques of AI is to get rid of a few neurons here and there (DIY not advised). Hope this alleviates some concerns :)

“No one thinks anyone else deserves payment for creating good work, unless they’re the one who could be getting paid, in which case it’s a travesty that they’re not” is an ethical standpoint that’s widespread in Silicon Valley. For example, it’s why Facebook users don’t receive dividend payments for the investment of their harvested data. “We realized that we could profit from inattention|opensource, so of course that’s ethical, because Finders Keepers rules” is a bad look for both parties in this post — the plug-in author who takes a revenue share without providing a financial statement, and the site operator who can’t be bothered to pay $20 for a core revenue stream of their site.

That F1C100s CPU is the same one that's used for Business Card Linux [1] as well as a bunch of cheap ($20~40) handheld retro gaming consoles that run Linux and emulators. It can handle emulating NES, most SNES games, Sega Genesis & Game Gear, Game Boy Color and most GBA games, even a few PS1 games like FFVII.

I bet it wouldn't take too much work to port the Miyoo Custom Firmware [2] over to it.

Also, the CPU can be overclocked to 700-800mhz pretty trivially. It gives a nice little bump in performance and it doesn't even have much effect on the power draw.

ha, that's interesting to know. Actually not being able to see or edit my notes on a phone was the dealbreaker for me and the biggest reason I stopped using ZIM and only using a bunch of markdown files nowadays.

How happy are you with Markor on the phone? Is it good enough to edit your Zim files on the go or are there any bigger down sites?
I am from Alabama. The only error this guy made is he was likely too high profile and got caught.

It is my understanding this is exactly the same sort of thing that goes on everywhere across the U.S., all the time. The little people are preyed upon by the fat cats. Anyone ever heard of Tyler, Texas? That place is infamous for its heavy policing and ticketing. Even as a little boy driving through there, I remember seeing the sides of the interstate loaded with shiny new police cars, ready to pull out after someone and get them.

Here in Alabama we have all sorts of illegal activity going on in the courts and police departments. I know one Sheriff department who are all the time setting up "DUI checkpoints" on major thoroughfares and small roads alike, without any public announcement whatsoever, which is illegal. There's also numerous court rooms with a "pay or stay" policy, which is likewise illegal as it is de facto establishment of a debtor's prison. I know a county jail where people are regularly taken into the elevator away from cameras and beaten. These people running the show are psychopathic parasites.

The municipalities throughout the land are known for speed traps being set up in various places. It's par for the course. Just raking in the loot. Everywhere you look, there are criminals in charge. I could go on and on for pages.

Likely this guy either victimized a powerful person, didn't pay his 10% to the Big Guy, or simply got too noticeable and they made an scapegoat out of him. Rest assured nothing will really change.
0.002 ETH per year sounds reasonable. But then 0.1 ETH gas for each transaction is ridiculous.
