    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 sa…

    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 …

    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 busine…

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

    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 big…

    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 w…

    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 …

    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 ent…

    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 qui…

    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 th…

    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 comple…

    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 th…

    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 the…

    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…

    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 w…
