FundThrowaway

I find myself struggling with somewhat related situation, everything in my life is going good, happily married and a great job that I love however I find myself wanting to watch the world burn, I get excited about the prospect of war and the collapse of society. I keep it under wraps and don't mention it to anyone but I'm really not sure what's wrong with me.

Junior developer salaries here are low enough that people just change industry. It's also not just about the salary but the way that they work. That all being said there are start ups out here that do look for experienced devs and pay accordingly, my previous comments mostly relate to large local businesses.

"Don't push buttons if you don't know what they do!"

That statement makes me a little sad, it's pretty much the exact opposite of the way I was brought up and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be where I am without the freedom of curiosity I was given at home. The general rule was if it's not going to kill me or maim me then I could have it.

Greater Los Angeles - 87,490 km2 England - 130,279 km2

87,490 * 1.5 = 131,235

Pretty close if you ask me.

An anti-corruption drive is nearly always just a power shift. Look at the various ones in China, it's never about corruption and more about one branch of the political elite taking out another.

Almost every time we have a BBQ or other outside event someone buzzes a drone overhead and just sits there watching us. Almost every time I go out hiking I hear the high pitched whine of a drone flying around the country park. It seems no matter where I go there is someone flying one. They are a total nuisance, create tons of noise pollution in areas that are usually quite tranquil, invade privacy and just annoy me all around to be honest.

I'm pretty sure that's half of the point, stop any radicals from forming large followings.

This whole index funds outperform actively managed funds claim needs a lot more context. I always see adverts from people like Vanguard claiming such things but they are always just talking about raw returns they never take into account risk adjusted returns or the like. Not all returns are the same, you need to think about the risk taken to get those returns, a market neutral actively managed portfolio may return less than a passive fund but it's volatility will be much lower to.

Our Bloomberg usage these days is pretty much entirely the chat. I think the only other feature that gets regular use is the excel plugins.

It was a joke, relax.

That's pretty crazy, how do these people exist and get jobs? What kind of development were they supposed to be doing?

> and there's more genuine fear of hiring someone who can't fizzbuzz.

I always hear this fear proclaimed but have never heard an actual story of a candidate failing to fizzbuzz, would love to hear an anecdote or two from anyone who has one.
