> Shouldn't everyone just buy the lowest cost passive ETF of a big enough index like S&P 500 then?

Yes, this is very best the advise to invest your money (except if your name is Warren Buffet). Buy it and hold it.
There have been so many papers published that show this. You cannot predict the market, what you can do is save yourself some risk and some transaction costs.
Any investment advisor that tells you different is plain wrong and probably has a second agenda.
As a chess player ( around 1700 FIDE ) and developer of a retired ( and moderatly successfull ) android chess application I cannot disagree more.

Back in 1995 there was no free Chessbase reader, no Scid but there was TWIC and the Exter Chess Club website. I was studying most of the games with a Notepad and a physical chessboard. PGN has contributed in a significant way to the growth of digital chess.

At the same time PGN is extremely easy to parse and I can tell by having implemented such a parser myself. The main trick is to segment the games start and finish on newlines and tags. Once the start and finish of a game are identified tokenization of the moves and other symbols is trivial. To increase robustness most of the PGN readers also check that moves are legal with a move generator.

Would pre-2018 regulations (when they were eased for banks with deposits less than $250B) have prevented this?
Well, it points to abysmal risk-management by SVB. The rate rise was announced in late 2021, so banks should have taken some losses and sold the low-yield treasuries and increasingly bought higher yielding ones.

It also seems to me SVB used an exemption from Basel III(). Basel III was introduced to force banks to be more conservative, and thus more safe. Downside: this also means bank is going to be less profitable, which is why SVG opted out.

So they are now in the "find out" phase of fuck around and find out. I really have no sympathy for the way the US banking lobby bribes politics to get exemptions and the cowboy attitude of their "regional banks". Now, everybody is very sorry and promises to improve and once the storm has died down, they will continue to work like that.

> otherwise the space of possible solutions grows to include nearly all 4-letter nouns (and verbs) +'s', and this is too large. I believe that regular pasts in -ed are also excluded for the same reason.

Regular pasts in -ed would pretty much restrict you to four-letter verbs that are spelled with a silent E (kite ~ kited); that will be a much smaller class of words than the ones that get excluded by the "s" suffixes.

There is a weird tangential observation we can make here, which is that the plural suffix -s, the verbal suffix -s, and the verbal suffix -t all behave exactly the same way - they are ordinarily zero syllables matching the voicing of the consonant that precedes them, but when that preceding consonant is similar to the consonant of the suffix, they grow an epenthetic vowel (becoming one syllable instead of zero) and become voiced - but the -s suffixes are only spelled with their epenthetic vowel when it exists (compare mats versus masses), while the -t suffix is spelled with its vowel whether the vowel exists or not (compare mopped versus modded).

> Protein and poutine do not rhyme if you pronounce poutine the proper way in Canadian French.

I looked it up, and sure, it sounds about the same in Canadian French as someone saying Vladimir Putin[1]. But I've never heard anyone say it that way myself, and in neutral French (according to the linked video, at least), it's pronounced 'pooh-teen', which sounds exactly like protein (I don't know if you pronounce protein different, but for me it's 'pro-teen').

Take on /less/ long term assets (sell them and buy t-bills) to remove the existential risk.

It's not going to be much different in cost. You see it? Derivatives aren't magic pixie-dust insurance. They will cost about the same as a rebalance on that scale or you hit them as hard as you can because they're mispriced and represent free money.
Question is would USA risk direct conflict with a country if they could actually suffer some actual losses of combatants on their own soil? They might, but I think it would substantially lower the risk.

Same applies to most current conflicts.

And about non traditional fights, maybe there would be less of those as big countries would be more careful about their actions.

Also I believe that if every school kid had a gun there would be lot less bullying. As they would be able to instantly produce credible self-defence when the society entirely fails to protect them. And they would be fully in moral right to answer with reasonable force to such actions.

> It's never been clear to me why it's a good idea to continually adjust the rate, as opposed to picking an ideal target rate and trying to keep it relatively stable permanently.

That target rate depends on many things in the economy that the FED has no control over, so they adjust the knob as best they can predict, to stear the economy to their dual mandate.

They need to keep inflation low (around 2%) and employment high, but they don't control what the government does in terms of raising/cutting taxes, what world events do to supply, and production.

But you're right, it's a blunt knob to adjust when there are so many variables at play.

It's impossible to be 100% certain, but there's no animal reservoirs for polio that have ever been known to exist and it hasn't been seen in humans for a couple of decades now - if it was still in existence we'd probably know about it by know, given how infectious polio is. All of the recent outbreaks are either type 1 poliovirus (mostly in Pakistan and Afghanistan) or have been linked to the vaccine via genetic testing.

I would say that both you and the parent are right. Software engineering is both new, and non-standard. So we get worst of both worlds, on one hand there are no good truly standard practices, and on the other the technology is very complex and rapidly changing absolutely all the time.

"Privatise profits, socialise losses" > Wow, this sentence is so eye-opening.
I'm getting tired of the "those Treasury bonds they bought are completely safe, if they just wait 10+ years until maturity, they will get 100% of their principal back" narrative. There are MANY different types of risk. Credit risk is but one type, and that narrative tries to convince people that it is the ONLY type of risk. In this example, you have both interest rate risk (price of an existing bond moves inversely to interest rates) and maturity risk (long term assets funded by short term liabilities). Risk can be hedged, and it is prudent to do so, but hedging costs money which eats into profit, so in the case of SVB they made a conscious decision to abandon most of their hedges a year or so ago. I suspect that over the course of the next year we'll see more cracks emerge in the financial system, additional financial institutions fail, and a new narrative that will have to be created.

I can but the DX would still be miserable, starting a local instance would still incur the cost of building the model, and a dev need to do that a lot of times during a day.

I can't split the model without massive refactorings, and even then, some tables are common across all modules and would need to be duplicated. Your advice is unfortunately the standard answer in my case, I guess EF Core is just not for me, really disappointing but "c'est la vie".

Displays with more brilliant colours through a fundamental physical concept
What you are describing are the real physical consequences of a global pandemic.

What is QE? How can financial stimulus limit the physical consequences of businesses closing?

QE can only redistribute wealth. This is an axiom. If we are lucky/played our cards well, this redistribution results in a more efficient economy overall. For example, because it alleviates overly risk adverse behavior by market actors.

However, QE also reduces market efficiency by polluting the price signal. For example, by increasing wealth inequality.

I feel this is a common misunderstanding. QE is treated like some magic wand to improve economic measures such as stock market valuations and profits.

When the fed/gov uses tools like quantitative easing it should be obligatory for journalists to ask: "Why do you think this redistribution of wealth results in net positive impact on the economy?".

While I agree that previous engagements might have found vulnerabilities that may or may not be addressed (after all, that's up to the client) I think a core part of a decent source code audit or pentest is to find those so if that was the case then it could speak of the proficiency of those involved.

In my own experience I've noticed that a lot of times it's really hard to get the clients to address these sorts of issues, even when it's clear that they are critical and could directly translate to monetary loses which makes no sense to me but sadly doesn't surprise me at all.

Just to be clear, of course there is a scope and a web service audit doesn't usually end up with a thorough audit of all the packages used by the application because nobody will pay for that and even if they would, it's usually mind numbing enough to end up in people glancing over things and checking boxes but in most cases this is not the root of the issue.

"If I buy this book and it saves me one hour of time writing tests, writing better tests, debugging tests, or whatever, it will have paid for itself."

Only if you have unlimited potential work for that rate, and are actually billing for contracted work, not by the hour.

In most scenarios, you will have paid for the book yourself, spent some time reading it (hopefully billable hours) and there is a real chance increased knowledge actually leads to more work, as you now have a more in depth understanding of the topic.

To me it all reads like the typing speed vs productivity essays. Yes, you should not be hindered by hunt and peck style typing interfering with your train of thoughts. But never seen someone who writes actual loc or actual content (not casual e-mail replies) where typing speed drives productivity in any way.
Stuff like this will lead to the rise of socialism again tbh.

It's like Tucker Carlson said - it's no wonder that the young people support socialism, when they can't afford a house and face massive economic uncertainty even in professional fields, etc.

Everyone knows that the super-rich executives will benefit massively from this (or have already taken huge bonuses and dividends in prior years), and they basically run the government and will face no consequences.

They get rewarded for failure, meanwhile normal working people face mass lay-offs, high interest rates and high inflation.
It's a very visible problem in the USA - homeless, tent cities, and a definite rise in people living in their vehicles.

Housing affordability is a key issue (and here in Australia as well). Related is a sense that the situation is not improving. I imagine that would be seriously disheartening for people aged 15-25 and thinking about their prospects.

> The shielding system was an official policy in the UK

Yeah, it still didn't and doesn't work though. Carers will have families, they'll have children in school, they'll potentially have more than one job. You can't shield the "carers" so you can't shield the vulnerable outside of a wider scale lockdown. Lockdown was the only thing that stopped case numbers going up till the vaccine came along.

> The risk of hospitalisation was low around the 30s and younger.

The average age in the UK is 40. So pretty much half the population would need to completely isolate from the other half while the younger half lived their lives as normal.

yeah, not going to happen.
I think the blame squarly lies on 2). Sweden and Florida didn't follow the Science™ and instead followed reason, rationale and logic. The rest of the country was obessesed over lockdowns, especially those on the political left. It was a religion of HN.

These are policy failures on all fronts - from monetary to public health.

the execs definitely miss out on a lot of money because bonus programs are typically multi year.

There are always
-short term (how did we do this year, the classic everyone gets)
-long term (bonus defined today, paid out over a few years if you meet the strategic goals, typically director and exec level, we are easily talking 100k+/year here in bonus money)

bonusses. So, yeah, still a financial letdown for them. But they still got paid quite a lot of money of course. The average swiss person had no stakes or no culpability at all (except maybe choosing them, clients could have walkd away)
