San Francisco homicide rate is like what, 2x Berlin and 3x London, so Berlin is half a Mad Max?

Well if the objective was just about distracting from some domestic issue, then maybe it doesn't matter from Trump's perspective.

Fair, but at the very least "hyperinflation caused Hitler" is a significantly weaker statement than "deflation caused Hitler", given that the former was replaced by the latter like 8+ years before Hitler's takeover.

I don't think apollo 11's toilet malfunctioned, it was just not very good. Everything smelled like poop mixed with chemicals, and that was by design.

I mean five nines is legitimately difficult to accomplish for a lot of problem spaces. It's also like.... difficult to honestly and accurately measure. And account for whether or not you're getting lucky based on your underlying

Hyperinflation in weimar Germany ended by what, 1924-ish with a return to gold standard? Hitler came to power 8+ years later

So London homicide rate is 1.1 per 100k? That's substantially lower than New Hampshire, Maine, and Idaho, which have the lowest homicide rates in the US. Does seem like much ado about nothing.

I get 1G (in the US) and am in a similar boat - I could pay for 8G, and my house is even wired for 10G. But..... all my network equipment is 1G, we rarely saturate it, and I don't want to shell out like a thousand dollars to replace m

I was mostly confused because the article made 0 mention of the float adjustment or the changes to nasdaq float adjusting that is proposed (5x float, which would still put SpaceX at <20% of its market cap, or <1% of the index, no?) It

Looks like yes. Last jet shot down was a warthog in Iraq 2003. Last fighter jets shot down were a nighthawk and falcon in 1999.

More like 40% effective tax rate at £100k, even including employer side of things?

by dmoy 6mo ago
> Spacex will be around 4.5% of the index [2]. Does that article say that? I didn't see "4.5xm" mentioned anywhere. Also jow does QQQ do float adjusting? Will it do the same 5x that we're hearing nasdaq is going to
103.
by dmoy 6mo ago
That's just nasdaq though, yea? VTI follows CRSP, not nasdaq. SPY doesn't follow nasdaq. Etc etc I guess figure out whether QQQ is going to do the 5x float thing?

What is an example nasdaq 100 fund that isn't float adjusted?
105.
by dmoy 6mo ago
The float adjustment probably handles this for you? The tiny amount of float of that $1.75T means that for any large total market or s&p or whatever fund (VTI, SPY, etc), SpaceX is going to be a minuscule fraction of the fund. Apple ha

by dmoy 6mo ago
Yes but they don't track the literal index that we the public see. They track a float weighted approximation of it (Typically - I thought QQQ did based on your earlier comment, but it also is float weighted)
107.
by dmoy 6mo ago
Why is it really about the index though, if the index fund doesn't track that public index? If the index fund is tracking some proxy that is float weighted, isn't that what matters? At least when it comes to people's money.

by dmoy 6mo ago
Ok fair, I forgot that QQQ is as big as it is. Edit: wait, but QQQ is float adjusted? What are the biggest not-float-adjusted index funds?
109.
by dmoy 6mo ago
Aren't basically all the huge serious index funds float weighted?

No way, we've known for 15 years that it was the CIA, not DARPA, after The Onion broke the story: https://youtu.be/ZJ380SHZvYU

Idk about rent, but even as of a year or two ago, Austin metro housing index was lower than its 2016 level. Rent following a similar trajectory wouldn't be super surprising to me.

Yea I don't doubt that capitalist greed goes into it too. And in the case of true fear of liability lawsuits, even that also has capitalist greed undertones: Imagine you're building random-iot-device-with-a-lithium-battery. You

And sadly it's only going to get harder and harder. More stuff is going to get locked down - not just PCs and PC-adjacent stuff like PS/XBox/etc. It's already somewhat involved to get new firmware on a lot of network co

Ok I will endeavor to be more precise when I'm talking about modern/practical rifles, and not just like literally any gun at all. The relevant point is that the line for gun ownership pushed by the Democrats (at least where I am)

Ah yea sorry, I meant literally my guns , as in the ones I use for service rifle competition. Those guns specifically, like the practical ones, are definitely on the docket. In fact if I moved to my current state today, I wouldn't b

I don't think trump has gun rights as a big part of his platform. I guess they got rid of tax stamp fees but that doesn't really mean anything. But again, that doesn't really have much to do with what I said? However minimal

by dmoy 7mo ago
I don't doubt that Trump would take guns away from people who don't support him. It's kinda right out of an authoritarian playbook. Not sure what that has to do with what I said though.

Yea that's a fair take Like you will go to an election, and your choices will be Republican candidate: "I support deporting your family, I will not only not support cleaner energy but will actively work to increase coal usage, an
