1. Their tracking error (because of frequent currency transactions + cash requirements) cumulates to a large underperformance vs investing directly. In the last 5 years, there's a cumulative return of 14% for INDY vs 69% for NIFTY. Even accounting for currency depreciation and remittance charges, the $ adjusted return for NIFTY is at least 2x.

Even active funds like WAINX, EPGIX havent beaten investing directly over the long run. You can compare these with NIFTY growth % - USD/INR growth % - two-way currency transaction charges to confirm.

This is a fair option for anyone who cant access the Indian markets directly, but for Indians with PAN card, the efficiency of investing directly is much higher.

2. Depth of funds is still not as good as in the Indian market. India has 8000+ mutual funds listed, with specific allocations available to mid cap, small cap, thematic (tech vs pharma vs consumer vs infra), equity-debt hybrid etc.
ZFS doesn’t handle that well generally.

You’d have better luck making a full (manual) copy most likely (ZFS send/recv, or mirror then un-mirror even better), assuming you’d run a scrub after.

Or manually make checksum files I guess. I’ve done that, less ‘magic’ that way.

> And if you go back far enough, it's also well known that the Bantu peoples were colonizers in their own right, and there still exist tensions between ethnic Bantus and indigenous peoples--e.g. pygmies.

It's not necessary to go back particularly far. The Bantu Expansion took place within the historical period. The ancient Egyptians wrote about (and painted) the African peoples of Kush to their south; those peoples are now extinct.

The Bantu reached South Africa at roughly the same time the Dutch did.
Bullshit. Of course you MUST protect minorities to be a democracy. If you don't protect a minority, how would the minority be able to exercise their voting rights?

The situation that was remedied in Brown v. Board reduced the ability of black Americans to get educated, earn a decent living and participate fully in the democracy.

For me, the protection of rights is the actual goal of democracy, and voting just a necessary means to this end. To protect those rights (especially the rights to life and freedom from harm parts) you need certain services like fire fighters or police. To govern those you need laws, shaped ultimately by elections. It's just that there are some principles that are sacrosanct and should be decided by experts on a very narrow basis. Constitutional judges, in most countries, are not "philosopher kings". The situation in the US supreme court has gotten way out of hand in that regard....

The best explanation I've seen is in the book "The Secret Life of Programs" by Jonathan E. Steinhart. I'll quote that paragraph verbatim:

---

Computer programming is a two-step process:

1. Understand the universe.

2. Explain it to a three-year-old.

What does this mean? Well, you can't write computer programs to do things that you yourself don't understand. For example, you can't write a spellchecker if you don't know the rules for spelling, and you can't write a good action video game if you don't know physics. So, the first step in becoming a good computer programmer is to learn as much as you can about everything else. Solutions to problems often come from unexpected places, so don't ignore something just because it doesn't seem immediately relevant.

The second step of the process requires explaining what you know to a machine that has a very rigid view of the world, like young children do. This rigidity in children is really obvious when they're about three years old. Let's say you're trying to get out the door. You ask your child, "Where are your shoes?" The response: "There." She did answer your question. The problem is, she doesn't understand that you're really asking her to put her shoes on so that you both can go somewhere. Flexibility and the ability to make inferences are skills that children learn as they grow up. But computers are like Peter Pan: they never grow up.
God that was so funny. I'm that hammer guy you talk of!

I know you can assemble at least a thousand Ikea cabinets while I hammer away on my carefully designed cabinet made from trees I've chopped down myself and nails I've forged. It fits perfectly with the table made by my great grandfather.

By the time you've assembled 5000 cabinets they collapse as fast as you assemble them but you need 50 000 so you have to hire 300 people mostly to talk about how it is going, document the process etc. Ikea switches to THEIR new cardboard line that is both cheaper, faster to assemble and last even shorter. You get an even larger building and hire 100 more people. Then you put stickers with advertisement on the cabinets because woah the operation is getting expensive!

You put cameras on them cabinets to track the user. Everyone is doing IoT now, you cant fall behind. You launch an app to open, close, lock and unlock the cabinets again with in-app advertisements and purchases.

Ikea goes out of business etc

I look at you, and back at my cabinet, and at you again... I have no idea what it all means. I wish I was the one to think of cardboard cabinets... or do I? I'm not Ikea, no one would have cared for it? I try to convince myself that building my own cabinet was a poor choice only to end up rubbing it with oil and carving Suum Cuique into its ornament.

It is breathtaking to see Islamic Apologists tying themselves into knots to try and cherry-pick only those articles/quotes which is favorable to their agenda. The reality is far more complex and not favorable to Islam.

The sources i have quoted are mainly from Wikipedia which is a collection of data with no bias on its own. The fact that you chose to dismiss it completely says a lot about your agenda and ignorance.

Here is WikiIslam on Forced Conversions : https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:For...

The opening paragraph itself states that;

At the same time, however, the Islamic tradition records that Muhammad gave the pagans of Mecca and later all of Arabia only two choices: conversion to Islam or the sword. As such, people not considered "people of the book", id est Jews or Christians, are on this example to be given the choice of conversion to Islam or death. In many cases, such as when Muslims found themselves ruling over a polytheist population in India, the forced conversion of so many people has been seen to be impossible, and in its place these people have been offered dhimmitude. These practical exceptions did not, however, change the opinion of the fuquhaa' that all non-believers who are not Jews or Christians ought to be given the choice of Islam or death, forced conversion in effect.

And there is more on that page; Nevertheless the relationship between Islam and Christianity (i consider Christian Sahner as trying to whitewash this relationship since his chair/research is funded by Islamic countries) was quite different than between Islam and Other religions and it is in the latter accounts (mainly from the Indian subcontinent) that one can see the full horrors of Islam on display (start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Hindus).

None of your data points hold up to scrutiny, you have merely stated what you believe, while the evidence from the other side is what i have listed in my comments. You need to go through the sources and then change your worldview w.r.t. Islam if at all you care for the Truth.

It does allow startups, for example I link my stuff over there all the time. However, I'm not blatant about it and I have plenty of other content that is not startup related. You got banned because you didn't understand the rules of Reddit, it's the same as if you got banned from HN because you didn't understand the rules of HN.
You're suggesting the NYT further tier its reporting ranks, along with all the internal difficulty that would entail. For ex: obviously the 100 have to include the most senior reporters, who are also older and therefore the least likely to create the viral content NYT wants affiliated with their account, so immediately they probably need to look at a much larger number. For another example: social media is different for each reader, or from the other side, each reporter has a constituency. In one season, the fashion reporters are driving views, while the following season it's the European war correspondents or the economics reporters (and all of these desks have subdivisions that wax and wane in popularity).

And all that discussion so that they can spend $72k annually with Twitter, a y/o/y increase of $72k from last year. With no guarantees of reach, because the whole paid-only verification thing is an experiment that began an hour ago. Let me just say that this whole pitch is going to be...difficult... at the point in the economic cycle where we find ourselves.

It’s a rule that spamming your startup is not appreciated by many communities. Especially once is has been removed, do not insist. Some Reddit communities are about startups, and will enjoy your posts. Though you will unlikely convert these users into customers.

You can read the Reddiquette:

> Feel free to post links to your own content (within reason). But if that's all you ever post, or it always seems to get voted down, take a good hard look in the mirror — you just might be a spammer. A widely used rule of thumb is the 9:1 ratio, i.e. only 1 out of every 10 of your submissions should be your own content.

Living in an apartment is a compromise. Unfortunately, most apartments in the US do not have much to offer.

Most are not well insulated, particularly for sound. The overwhelming majority are rentals; and most of those are managed by landlords who charge an arm and a leg, only to be less than helpful.

Public transit relies on good apartments, and good apartments rely on public transit. It's symbiotic. The US has largely failed at providing both.

People don't choose what is available in the market. They choose from what is available in the market.

You don't have any proof that women prefer men in power. You just assume that. And you probably lack any education about the gazillion things that even shape the choices those female electors have in that regard.

Even if those women consistently think men are better in power: How come? Isn't that part of inequality just as well.

And DUI is treated much more seriously in the UK, consequences are stricter (for example, no "oh you need a car to get to work so you can carry on driving but only too and from work" loophole) and there is greater social opprobrium to drink driving.
Your map tells no such story. In particular, California's low rate cannot be attributed to California's policies, as California's rate is matched by Utah, Idaho, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, etc.

You say Southern States have a higher death rate, yet Mississippi (typically considered archetypical of the deep south) a lower per-capita drug overdose rate.

Texas, which is a state dominated by the party that does not rule California has an overdose rate about 75% that of California.

There's a lot more going on than your analysis would suggest.

Defaults are powerful. Undoing them will feel uncomfortable.

Since the 1940s, the vision sold to society is one of private motor transport, free-flowing highways, and houses on big lots. The past 80 years have seen the execution of this plan with little to no reflection or criticism.

We're finally starting to wake up to the reality that we find ourselves living in. We're questioning the choices made by our forebears and the infrastructure that has been constructed. If we want to change how cities are designed, we have to recognize the problem first. Only then can we embark on a decades-long transformation where we slowly replace buildings and roads with ones that reflect a new vision.

The fact that US cities are dispersed is a red herring. Most cities will have expensive areas that people want to move into but are prevented from doing so due to a lack of available housing. The demand to densify already exists. By adjusting zoning laws, parking minimums, and transportation networks, housing can be added in those areas, and no one would be coerced to move to somewhere they don't want to be.
What analogy?

> They had negative monetary incentives for teachers and schools

Please provide a reference for negative monetary incentives for teachers.

> It's the literal concept you are pushing

What I'm "pushing" is aligning incentives with the desired results. A system that works every time it's tried.

Besides, if the public schools try my proposal, in no instance will the teachers or schools be worse off. There's literally nothing to lose by trying it.
> the idea that you can just throw data sources at an AI and expect the outcome to be fair is kind of silly.

You are arguing against a straw man. We are discussing a set of AI principles, not an implementation of those principles. I claim that any anti-bias principle should be applied equally to all, both in spirit and in practice. That is not the same as assuming the input is neutral, or assuming that de-biasing is unnecessary.

By your own account, the researchers who do the de-biasing have a great amount of discretion about "how to fix that and who to focus on." I don't think it's unfair to say that it is their job to put their thumbs on the scale, according to the beliefs and priorities of themselves and their organizations. So how do we know that the model authors aren't just introducing their own bias, either by over-correcting one set of biases from the input, or under-correcting others?

It seems likely that "de-biasing" can become "re-biasing." I would already suspect that this is a major risk with AI, but when an organization like Mozilla openly states in their guiding principles that certain groups are a special priority, re-biasing seems all but certain.

Of course everyone will bring their own biases to the table when performing a job, that is inevitable. But an AI provider that wants to be trustworthy to a wide group of people should be extremely vigilant about correcting for their own personal biases, and be clear in their messaging that this is a core commitment. OpenAI, to their credit, seem to be taking this seriously: https://openai.com/blog/how-should-ai-systems-behave#address...
"What normal user has millions of typical data laying around?"

Enough that this policy is impacting some of them.

Again, realize that this isn't just talking about free accounts. It's paid accounts, too, regardless of the plan size. 2TB... 5 million file limit. 20TB... 5 million file limit. 1 plan with 10 users... still a 5 million file limit.

If you can't see that this could be a problem for normal customers (or normal accounts that may comprise multiple users), then you're not thinking creatively.

I wouldn't doubt that I have millions of files backed up on various drives, simply because I back up every system, and I've owned computers since the 90's. And I'm not intentionally trying to generate data!
What?

If the law that requires an absolute minimum number of parking spaces hasn't increased, then the total number of parking spaces hasn't increased?

People can build more parking spaces than the parking minimums? Also, Parking minimums themselves increase parking for new businesses? Any new structure you build being subject to parking minimums contributes to the loop I'm describing.
There's a surprisingly large number of groups of people that use Google Drive, Dropbox, and similar for "source control" and/or collaboration on projects instead of real VCS.
I think its pretty easy to park because most american cities are overparked, and as they convert surface lot to 5/1 they end up even more overparked because that usually comes with a subterranean garage and another 300 spaces that weren’t there before.

You’d be hard pressed to lay rail based transit so densely where everyone in the metro area has a 15 min walk to a station much less one going somewhere relevant for them. Simple bussing upgrades are much more realistic for us to see comprehensive transit in our lifetimes. Things like signal priority and a protected lane would go a long way for little cash and time. Too bad the bus is invisible to most people and politicians.
Yeah this is a valid criticism of the Chinese Room (called the "Systems Counterargument")[1]. I think it's a weak-ish riposte in this context though, mainly because we have no real idea how our own brains work and how their parts causaly interact (other than handwavy "these neurons are firing in this area").
