Also plugging Firefox mobile here if you do any web browsing from mobile. You can add uBlock Origin on Firefox mobile, which you can't do on Chrome mobile.

Does it rebalance daily? Wouldn't you pay short term cap gains if it does?

Or is the strategy to buy an index, then only sell losers after an amount of time?

Is Python experience absolutely required for the SE role? It's probably the easiest language to pick up, no?

Maybe because my account is new? Maybe because it's a Bloomberg shared article (By Jason Schreier)? Not sure, just grasping at straws.

Edit: I'm guessing I'm right. Looks like Hackernews stripped the share key in the URL sometime after this was posted... the publicly posted one... from Jason himself, so now the article is paywalled.

sorry, I work in game development so whenever we hit something that doesn't happen every time we call it RNG for fun

I'd be curious to run experiments on this with one of my Go services. However, as far as I can tell, Go's garbage collection is precise and there's no way to run a Go program with a different (conservative) garbage collector. Am I overlooking something or am I out of luck here?
