Google finance says SPY is up about 0.7% today. 0.1% is fairly trivial. I actually stated the opposite on rebalancing - that it happens continually - so I'm not sure where the confusion lies. Money is continually entering the fund and

Do you dislike the slightly grey background on HN? I can't say I really notice such things.

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make with your first paragraph. The regulations are going to change. The funds aren't prohibited from following the law! Investors will then benefit 0.2% less substantially from

It is tiny. Your Vanguard fund doesn't do manual rebalancing like that. It rebalances automatically by deciding what to buy as new money is added to the fund and what to sell as money is withdrawn. Charge an extra 0.1% when someone dep

lxd has relevance because it's the same kind of thing as Docker. > They are not jails, they are not like jails. That's what I've been saying.

To keep the nitpicks together, "creating a flow of current" is clumsy: a current is a flow. "Creating a flow of charge" or simply "creating an electric current" would be better.

Other than that, they're different things. It's like the difference between lxc and lxd. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrHW7Vvbie4 for a demo of what lxd can do. Maybe that will clear it up for you.

He could be right. The part I don't get is, not why did the person have a Syrian passport (as you say, fakes are common), but why were they carrying it with them on a suicide mission?

That obviously depends on what you mean by "relatives". Odds are that a random human chosen from anywhere on earth is no more than your 16th cousin. All life on earth is your relation (as far as anyone knows).

Well, you have a very different memory of the era than I do. I never had any problem getting an ethernet card working on Linux: there was never any work to do! They just worked out of the box. I believe it was almost entirely due to the wor

Docker is not the same thing as FreeBSD jails. Docker is available on FreeBSD (as of June this year) and uses jails.

No, it doesn't happen all the time. It happens, on average, 1 time in 649,000. That's what those odds mean.

That was weird. I stopped using Facebook a few years ago (don't remember when), because something trivial about the site annoyed me (don't remember what). The author seems to have written many accounts of what a terrible company F

By the "natural notes" I just mean the notes that would make up an octave in that key, like "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do" in whatever key you like. On a piano, the long (white) keys are tuned to C for that. If you st

I suspect your correct answer is wrong. Organ keyboards originally had only the long keys (the white keys) because they only had the natural notes of the scale. The accidentals were added later as the short keys, and were added as short key

CydeWeys is correct. To quote a previous post of mine: ---------------------- The fastest CPU in 2005 was (I think) the mighty AMD Athlon 64 FX-57, which PassMark rates at: 731. Meanwhile, in 2015, we have the Intel Core i7-5930K which scor
