I'm not sure this is entirely true, I see reports that this has more to do with data sourcing and opacity of shareholders[0]. The Kentucky Teachers Retirement fund seems to be one of the largest shareholders who have opted to self-report to Nasdaq. Still interesting, and with this perhaps more so for HN ;)

Thanks for the clarification!

Well written article. The drawbacks to active investing mentioned mirror my own experience. I ended up with a constant nagging in my head to know how the market was doing. Since moving back to a buy and hold strategy I feel happier and more focussed on the rest of my life.

It is my understanding that fuel composition is a part of engine approval, and it is similar to authorizing a new part if you are using a new fuel. [1] It seems the FAA only recently approved the use of unleaded gasoline for a large number of engines! [2] So while bio-fuel based fuels would be great, there does seem to be some significant, and I think reasonable, bureaucracy in the way of that happening.

That does sound interesting! It's a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I'm looking for a new project. Feel free to send me an email (in bio) if you want to chat about this more.

Nice! I was already satisfied using Bitwarden, and now I will no longer have to manually manage my ICE backup.

In the past I've kept an offline copy of my 'vault' on a few USB keys in a safe deposit, for my family in case of death or similar. I'm curious how others have solved this problem.
