No. The S&P 500 is selected by committe. And it's 6.1bn, not 8.1bn. Mabye that's the plan for the Russell 3000, though. But it doesn't really matter except when the stock gets added to the index. The index funds and ETFs

How does this makes sense? There's no kind of existing taxes or math to make losing money more profitable than making money.

I know women who have said otherwise. In fact, one of them is my wife.

Clearly. But that’s not a problem unless you don’t understand it.

My old boss at MIT worked with RMS and he said that everyone hates him. Never helping anyone, always getting into stupid autistic arguments with people. He said that RMS rarely did any real work and that everyone hated him and tried to avoi

One of the best way to make coworkers friends is to talk about drugs you’ve done. Now that you have mutual comprimate it will be very difficult for one of you to fuck the other without it backfiring. Another good way is to hang out with the

For some reason I’m so much faster on a calculator than with Matlab or something. RPN is designed to get you answers quickly, while Matlab.. not so much.

I have a 48 but now I just use my 50g. The build quality isn’t as nice but it’s a hell of a lot faster. If HP had bothered to actually port the software to ARM instead of writing a Saturn emulator it could have been maybe 25x faster, though

Says who? I hold them long-term at it works out very well. The only problem is the volatility tax you have to pay. Formula for volatility tax is: actual returns = return - var(r) / 2 If the S&P 500 has a Sharpe ratio of one and say

I mean, you can tilt toward value or hedge your portfolio with options or something. I wouldn’t actually do the latter though, put options are pretty much always overpriced by at least 50% or more. Tilting toward value until the next electi

You don't even want to expense a Stata license. Stata is the worst thing I've ever had to use. Maybe as a person who can't program it makes sense, but as a professional developer almost everything about Stata is non-intuitive

I mean, a lot of women do enjoy it. Human sexually is incredibly diverse. There's not one shred of empirical evidence that shows that looking at sexual material is damaging or affects life outcomes in any way, shape, or form. And hones

That’s because the thousands of errors were manually fixed before committing. I’ve programmed professionally in both Haskell (strongly statically typed) and Racket (dynamically typed). The number of bugs I encountered at runtime with Haskel

C is one of my favorite languages but you know what be almost perfect for the author’s needs? OCaml! Almost as fast as C, no mandatory OOP, great performance, C FFI, nice FP, totally portable and native executables. Unfortunately OCaml is s

So are you suggesting that we can’t do better than assembly machine code?

What do you mean reuse whatever is available? Non derivative distros are going to be using their own package manager and not just using some prebuilt package for another system. But regardless, I agree, fragmentation isn't really a pro

Arch unfortunately has gotten more and more complicated over the years. Their decision to adopt systemd was really disappointing, imo.

I agree that computing confined to a rectangle is limiting and stifling. The long-term solution in my mind is everyone having an AR headset. I would love to be able to project code and objects all over the room and be able to code any place

“Our mission is to incubate a humane dynamic medium whose full power is accessible to all people.” Kind of ironic when they don’t even release the source code. I guess by all people they mean people who stop by Oakland for a couple hours.

This is pretty cool, but, like, what’s the point? What problem is this trying to solve? How does printing hello world out of a printer with dots on it help us at all? Why would we want to align pieces of paper in order to do IO? How is this

All securities have exposure to something that can result in them crashing. Despite this, people are still buying them. It would be pretty ridiculeous to say “remember the Great Depression? Don’t buy any stocks! It’s a scam!” So what’s the

While in principle I don’t ever believe in bailouts of any kind, not bailing out the banks would have led to an apocalyptic situation probably worse than the Great Depression. Sometimes those in power have a responsibility to the people ins
