If it was a high leverage decision, you would have hoped one of the officials appointed to fix the situation would have already noticed and fixed it. So either they are completely incompetent or the decision didn't matter much.

If true, it's extremely depressing that it required a viral post on social media.

Yeah, you make a good point. I'd be pretty happy if they just implemented it for full time office holders only (senate, congress, judges) which aren't going to be having jobs on the side that pay equity.

Owning individual stocks is the same expected value than owning ETFs for almost all retail investors who are non-corrupt. Studies have looked at this and shown that regular investors in single stocks consistently underperform. So there&#x27

"because men (and women, for that matter) are doing less exercise period." Is that widely accepted? I really haven't dug into it. I heard something about endocrine disrupting chemicals playing a role, but that could

2. Think of it like term limits. We don't let people sit in office forever just because it's a free country. No, these are constraints implemented democratically by voters to protect against bad outcomes that aren't well addr

I think it's just that there's more scrutiny and the cases we hear about are more in the news. Smaller companies, and especially individuals who run businesses, do plenty of dodgy crap that nobody hears about and it never makes th

I misspoke when I said "more". I meant to say "new" or "novel" in that sentence. I reacted in such a way because I interpreted your initial response to be a "let me google that for you" flavor of bord

I was extremely specific in what I was asking for initially. I asked for evidence that the number of extreme cold events is going to be increased. None of the first two articles grapples with that claim. That's why I called them tras

This is a very important point because it's very commonly believed that extreme cold weather (99 pct) will be worsened, and it's central to Scott Alexander's piece. Not storms per se, just the inverse to heat waves. Can anyon

I don't want trash news articles. They establish nothing. Read the first one, it's not good. Want modelling from someone reputable like the IPCC that balances the offsetting forces and quantifies what to expect on net. "50 pe

Where can I read that global warming is likely to increase the number of extreme cold events? Is it mentioned by IPCC?

I will offer an opinion as a staunchly anti-union person, so that you can get a feel for the perspective. If working conditions and pay suck, I much prefer a UBI so people can work less. It has none of the downsides of the below. - I want m

Forgetting MA crossovers (which don't work), what are your thoughts on backtesting trendlines and support/resistance lines. Have you seen anyone try that?

> Is there any proof of that? Some traders of course will get very rich, just like some lottery-players. If we're talking about short-term traders, yes. There's firms and traders that make money almost every day of the year. I

A valuable edge doesn't have to predict the entire space of possible outcomes. For example, an index rebalance edge has no idea about macro events, earnings, etc, but it is still a valuable edge.

by csee 5y ago
Some edges can be quantified easily, and others really can't be. One canonical example of the former is the bid-offer imbalance. That's because autocorrelation is low, variability is high, the signal can be encoded easily, the dis
