This is their only option. Someone who is the head of security for a hospital IT department needs access to mythos, and some 17 year old with fraud convictions doesn't. It's the same reason we require ID for alcohol and gun purcha

Yeah, it's a 24 year old company that controls space Internet and is the most competent company building data centers. If a passive index doesn't include it they are taking a much stronger opinion on the stock than if they do incl

The goal of SP500 is to provide exposure to the 500 biggest companies, not protect shareholders. I think IBM might do poorly when AI destroys their overpriced IT outsourcing business, but that doesn't mean SP500 should kick them out.

You misunderstood what you were buying if you thought that S&P500 could never change their processes.

by gitfan86 4mo ago
Yes, if someone thinks that the top 500 companies include too much risk then yes too bad, you need to move out of SPY. It isn't called the S&P495 because they kick out 5 of the biggest companies that some people consider to be risk

Why do you assume SpaceX will be a failure? Do you have a track record of being correct on Elon companies? If SpaceX succeeds and its in the SPY from day one that serves everyone who owns index funds.

The whole point of index funds is that you don't have to pay management fees to managers. It's very expensive to hire a team of people to analyze the entire stock market in detail and chose the best 500 companies, and historically

This fundamentally misunderstand the point of an index. The fundamental reason S&P 500 exists is to let people buy the entire market ( the top 500 companies make up most of the entire market ). That is it. Period. They are not saying th

I don't understand why you assume that the government is following all the laws when it comes to cell phones and cloud data but won't when it comes to ring data?

To all the people talking about government surveillance do you not realize the government already can track you by your cell phone?

Waymo cannot scale. So for most people it's irrelevant. Tesla FSD makes driving 90% less taxing mentally. It does 99.9% of the driving perfectly. And its getting better. We are quickly approaching a situation where people who don'

LOL, the BTC people who thought "Digital Gold" was a good slogan are going to learn what happened to self custody of gold and the gold standard. BTC is in a much worse situation than gold was in 1970. The government has the techno

This is such an interesting time because the percentage of people who are making predictions about AGI happening on the future are going to drop off and the number of people completely ignoring the term AGI will increase.

Nails are not zero sum. You can get a bunch of nails without limiting how many nails I have. Social status is zero sum and as more of the economy gets automated that becomes all that is left that is scarce

by gitfan86 1y ago
The counterintuitive part of automation is that it removes parts of the economy rather than making the economy bigger. You end up with more goods but the value people assign to them goes down as they don't provide additional social adv

Many people use IE 11. Still an edge case.

Just using git isn't the vulnerability. The vulnerability is that you clone a repo that an attacker was able to put this in. 90% of the time this would happen it would be due to an attacker creating a PR on a public repo.
22.
by gitfan86 1y ago
Those people won't be vulnerable to this attack, since this attack is only useful in supply chain attacks. The people vulnerable to this would be maintainers of open source repos who could end up approving a malicious PR.

You can always find edge cases in security. Someone somewhere is running Internet Explorer 10 but that doesn't mean Chrome fixing bugs doesn't dramatically reduce effectiveness of attacks

Sam Altman is a huge risk to META. He has similar morals to Zuck and a much better technical team. If OpenAI turns on the slop generator, they could hit Facebook and Instagram hard. Wang is probably smart enough to help navigate that risk.

For every Quinton Tarantino there are dozens of people who could make amazing films but never had the opportunity for a wide variety of reasons that now mostly go away.

The entire reason OpenAI has a high valuation is the expectation that AI will get a lot better in the next few years. If that happens, building a clone of Cursor/windsurf should be trivial. The only reason you would buy windsurf today

The idea is that the justice system should work in a reasonable way so that victims and potential victim rights are protected. For example, someone who allegedly beat their wife, has a right to a trial. But if activist judges make decisions
