  • Even when it's a banter derby between two hopeless clubs you just know we're going to draw the shorter stick.

    And I just can't stop thinking about the guy over on Reddit I argued with after the sacking of Ten Hag. He kept going on how it's going to be worth it (buying ETH out of his contract) because having Amorim is the difference between making top 4 and not.

  • YSK how much of your money is invested in the USA. Check your investments.
  • You can check out SPIVA which tracks the people like the guy you're paying to predict the future.

    In all markets the results are consistent. Over a single year a professional has about a 50% chance of beating the average. This probability drops over time and over a 10Y period about 10-14% of professional investors beat the average.

    You paying this professional is essentially the same as you thinking that you are able to identify the top 10-15% professional investors. And maybe you just are that great and we should all follow suit. But I doubt it. It's your risk to take though. No one is going to force you to choose the cheaper option with the better probability to give the best returns.

  • YSK how much of your money is invested in the USA. Check your investments.
  • If you're not putting your money into index funds you're just fooling yourselves. You shouldn't be paying any form of investor to pretend they can see into the future.

    This also means you will be investing heavily in the US. But don't make the mistake of believing your invested money makes any difference in the world when it comes to ethical responsibility. A company isn't affected by whether a fund invests or does not invest in them.

    Socially responsible funds are just for show because financial institutions have realised it's something people will pay for. If you truly want to make the world a better place you reduce your monthly saving amount and donate the money to charities instead.

  • Decentralised social media offers an alternative to big tech platforms like X and Meta. How does it work? Podcast
  • Just saw the other day that the Pixelfed developer pushed out a new feature pretty quickly and it reminded me of how much faster you can push new features out when you're working on a small team with very few developers.

    Then I realised that... At the place I work at (an app most likely installed on your phone) - well every change will have a huge impact. If 0.05% of the users' performance is degraded - that's a shit ton of users. So we have processes in place. We test on all kinds of devices before releasing.

    Running a high quality service at scale is hard and it's expensive and it's not always fun because you have to leave your cowboy developer guns at home and do the homework before pushing to production.

  • Pixelfed's first plateau in progress
  • Yeah, all apps advertise "no algorithms" - well those algorithms are what is pulling users back and back again and the more you get people to open your app - the more likely it is that they'll contribute something.

    I have to remind myself to open Pixelfed. Which is how I want it to be and how it should be. But I also understand that none of my friends will go there and look at nothing and then check in again a day later.

  • [Hirt/Duncker -T1] Man United close to Patrick Dorgu deal as Amorim hints at Casemiro exit
  • We are probably walking a very thin line in terms of PSR. Usually we never spend in January, and never long-term? Spending this amount of money - in January - reeks of desperation imo. The form is horrible and the team doesn't seem to be improving under Amorim.

    At the same time, the reasoning for sacking EtH was that the earlier the pain of transition starts - the better. But there has to be some highlights to justify that pain and we are not seeing it right now so the leadership is now desperate to give Amorim more tools to improve things because in the end - if they sacked the manager and hired a new one (which undeniably is a great manager - I have nothing against Amorim) and we end up in a horrible position with no leverage in the summer window and a squad depleted of motivation after finishing 14th... Then were does that leave us? Then it's hard to argue that sacking EtH was the right choice... Or RvN if you so like (i.e. going with RvN for the rest of the season)

    Can't imagine we'd spend this amount at this point of the season otherwise.

  • Vad använder ni för att hålla koll på nyheter inom specifika områden?

    Nu har det gått en vecka utan att jag gått in på Reddit varken på telefonen eller på datorn och jag inser att det svåraste med att ersätta Reddit är det kurerade nyhetsflödet.

    Jag har vissa intressen och vill gärna hålla mig up-to-date vad gäller dessa intressen. Att hänga i en subreddit gjorde att "the hive mind" agerade som ett filter. Självklart med sina egna problem (echo chambers) men t.ex. så är jag intresserad av Android och läste då det högst uppröstade på /r/android. Jag har försökt ersätta detta med att springa runt mellan Android Authority, Android Police, The Verge men dels är det många sidor att rotera runt över och dessutom slipper jag ju helst "Top 10 apps our editors can't live without!"-artiklarna.

    Ett annat intresse är fotboll och en viss fotbollsklubb specifikt. Subredditen för fotbollsklubben har strikta regler kring vilka källor som är godkända - kort sagt trovärdiga källor. Så man vet att dyker det upp en nyhet där är det hyfsat pålitligt. Att återigen försöka skramla nyheter från diverse fotbollssidor är svårt just för att man inte alls vet vad trovärdigheten är. Ibland är det individuella journalister som är trovärdiga men jag vill inte följa deras konton för att de till 80% skriver om andra saker liksom.

    Hur har ni löst detta? Är det en RSS-läsare jag är ute efter eller?

    What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?

    I am trying to cut out Reddit from my life but I'm always ending up re-installing it because I simply don't know what do with my time. We have two small kids (1y and 3y) so I can't simply just read more, train more, play games, watch TV, etc.

    It's rather.. Reddit filled those small micro breaks I get throughout the day. When I have a few minutes on my own when my wife has the kids.

    Lemmy is nice but it's just not enough content to fill this need. I have been thinking about Blinkist or reading something lighter on my phone (something which is easy to take a break from whenever).

    Svenska miljonärer rikare än nånsin
    www.svd.se Svenska miljonärer är rikare än någonsin | SvD

    Efter pandemin planerar landets miljonärer återigen lyxsemestrar. Susanne Ytterskog på miljonärstidningen Connoisseur ser också ett ökat intresse för det holistiska –bortom bilar och hus.

    Svenska miljonärer är rikare än någonsin  | SvD

    Svenska miljonärer är rikare än någonsin. Det visar lyxtidningen Connoisseurs undersökning av sina läsare, där en tredjedel av miljonärerna har över 20 miljoner i värdepapper och hela 7 procent av miljonärerna besitter över 100 miljoner kronor. Att jämföra med fjolåret då samma kategori utgjorde 3 procent.

    • Det är helt unikt. Vi har aldrig sett något liknande, det finns väldigt mycket pengar i landet, säger Susanne Ytterskog. Hon är chef på Connoisseur som hon även grundade 1998. En tidning som delas ut tre gånger per år och skickas ut till de vars årliga inkomst landar på 2,6 miljoner kronor eller mer, det vill säga en bra bit över medianinkomsten för svenskar som ligger på 371 500 kronor per år enligt Statistiska centralbyrån.

    Varför är Riksbankens främsta vapen mot inflation något som gynnar storbankerna?

    Rätta mig om jag har fel men Riksbanken ökar styrräntan vilket leder till att folk betalar mer ränta på sina bolån vilket betyder att de inte längre har råd att konsumera vilket leder till att priserna sjunker vilket leder till att inflationen är inbromsad?

    Och vinnarna i detta är storbankerna som täljer guld med smörkniv.

    Det känns som att samma effekt borde gå att uppnå men med något medel där pengarna används till något nyttigt? Typ en inflationsskatt och sen stoppas pengarna in i välfärden eller något istället?

    Eller missar jag någon aspekt som gör att det är oundvikligt att behöva stoppa mer och mer pengar i storbankernas fickor?

    Browsers with digital wellbeing features built in?

    Hi!

    I have some serious smartphone addiction I'm trying to get on top of. I've tried to uninstall all time consuming apps from my phone but have realised I tend to start using the web version when I don't have the app.

    So far I haven't found any browsers where I can either block certain websites or limit the time I'm allowed to spend on them.

    Anyone know if those browsers exist?

    YSK that fund managers are consistently underperforming and you're better off with a passive fund

    If you're saving monthly into an active fund - please stop doing so. Research shows that they consistently underperform and that they are not worth the fee they're charging.

    Buy a cheap, broad index fund instead.

    Why YSK: an actively managed fund has no guarantee to be better than a cheap passive one (Someone in the comments called it a mutual fund? I'm not natively English so not sure about the terminology) but at a 1.25% fee - over 30 years around 30% of the return will have been swallowed by the fees. Banks don't make money from the cheap passive funds so they will be pushing the expensive ones even though it goes against all the research. They are not interested in making you rich.
