Well, no. From Warren himself: "I made the bet... (2) to publicize my conviction that my pick – a virtually cost-free investment in an unmanaged S&P 500 index fund – would, over time, deliver better results than those achieved by m

The lesson Warren's making isn't that you can't beat the market. Of course, Warren himself is an example you can. It's also not a statement about any individual hedge fund, which may have "different goals only for s

Ironically Buffett started with exactly this over half a century ago-- setting a cumulative hurdle rate of 6%-- meaning he wouldn't take fees unless investors made at least 6%. He beat the Dow (S&P 500 wasn't really a thing du

Only rebalancing by using new contributions would be preferred. My use case is re-creating the s and p 500 exclusive of some issues and with regular contributions for retirement.

How is this for tax efficiency? Is rebalancing a taxable event? Or can you rebalance without selling by just redirecting new contributions to the underrepresented issues? Over time a buy-and-hold strategy with etfs gives a large compounding

As someone who basically sticks everything possible into Postgres, this is interesting! Streaming tools don't automatically cache things you need? I guess it's about time they do! Postgres, for instance, has a robust LRU mechanism

That’s interesting! I wonder how big a problem it really was. Vi kind of took the opposite approach I guess.

Broadly speaking, two types of death are recognized with organ donation. Brain death, where there's no brain function at all and cardiac death, where there's no cardiopulmonary function. Brain death in isolation generally provides

The device used is extraordinary. The US has been using it for a year and a half in adult trials. Transmedics also has devices for the lungs and liver. Livers and to a lesser extent lungs already get transplanted after cardiac death when th

It’s not a viable offline training machine but this thing flies with data munging. I have the 16gb version and pandas data frames that are 40gb or so load from csvs in two minutes with type inference for example. So long as you can use Goog

Oh! That's a good idea. My goto has always been pipelining along a series of functions, but never thought of just using Jupyter for some reason.

Basically, the title of this post and its premise is just very wrong. Microsoft includes Office 365, LinkedIn and probably GitHub in its "cloud" revenue. AWS "cloud" revenue is not remotely comparable. > MSFT: "O

You're right. If it was just one drug, I'd think they were manufacturing it themselves. Apparently, they plan to have a single factory in 2022. Most likely, significantly all of their formulary will be copacked.

Where is the study? I couldn't find the link. "95-percent success rate" is meaningless without context. Specificity/sensitivity, prevalence and the gold standard used all matter. You, too, can detect coronavirus with 100

I could be wrong but the price seems too high. If you find the same, I would consider doing a bit of market research estimating how much people use the library at areas particularly far from the library, and estimating a price you would nee

I may be wrong. I'm reading into this that was on HN the other day-- "We collaborate with cloud service providers, including Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Tencent, Clever Cloud, and others. We have shown we can find a way to do it.

AFAIK, that tweet from Vogel is the only time someone representing AWS claimed to have a partnership with Elastic. He was wrong, but I don't think it's fair calling it "dishonest."

Another way to look at wealth is as total spending power between now and eternity. Taken that way, it doesn't matter as much if your wealth is tied up in unsaleable stock-- stock afterall represents your claim on the discounted future

WOW. The colors on the menu pictures are somewhat preserved. It's not hard to imagine things much more vibrant like you have to do for most paint from the period. It looks like an antiquity-era version of the food-trucks you see at car
