Do you know if there will be another South Bay Systems meet?

I don't think this really tells you anything, and it also will impact the quotes they are making, even if they are holding the position for now.

Order flow in dark pools does impact the price of a security. The market maker will eventually need to trade out of that position. If there is aggregate buying pressure in the dark pool, they will adjust their quotes in both dark and lit markets.

Thanks, regarding transaction fees, I was referring to slippage (should have said transaction cost). This depends a lot on your customers rebalancing settings, but it would be good to be able to compare that directly to VOO.

Its not the median they are worried about, its the 99th percentile. They _dont_ want to trade with Optiver, 2 Sigma, etc, or some hedge fund thats working a massive trade.

Trading with a highly sophisticated counterparty can be very costly and undo the small profit they have made from thousands of other trades.

> they make a higher than normal spread

Is this known for sure? I thought the value of this order flow to them was the lack of adverse selection.

Do you manage the portfolio of each customer individually? How closely will this match the target portfolio for smaller investment sizes? I see that there are minimum investment sizes. Do I need to buy at least one share of each member of the SP500 for instance?

How do transaction fees compare with expense ratios of, say, Vanguard? I see that you account for them in your backtest, but it would be helpful to represent that in terms of an expense ratio.

I may be biased because I generally avoid closures entirely (I prefer the certainty over ownership and type signatures that traditional functions give), but I do my best to avoid closures when working with async in Rust. A lot of examples for frameworks will make use of async closures, and I typically convert those to functions as quickly as possible, which can be tricky the first time because of the elided types.

I'm not sure about the subreddit, but from my reading of the forum, there is still quite a lot of work / discussion to be done related to implementing said strategy in a tax efficient manner, directly purchasing bonds rather than using the ETFs, usage of TIPS, alternative asset classes like real estate, and portfolio allocation given age, etc.

I've learned that maintaining even the simplest "strategy" can be a lot of work.

I’ll second the charger. I recently bought the Shargeek Storm 2 battery and bought their recommended charger (100w GaN) on a lark. This turned out to be much more useful than the battery itself (although the battery has been great too).

I’m able to charge MacBook, iPhone, Watch, AirPods all from one brick at the same time, which means I only have to carry one brick.

I will say, I don’t believe it will charge at 100w on the main port when other ports are in use, 100w is the max across all ports. Still, I’m considering purchasing their new 140w option now to take full advantage of MagSafe.

Very cool site. The salary filter is a little unintuitive: the minimum filter appears to apply to the _lower_ end of the listed range, and be non-inclusive. For instance there is a job listed at Netgear with a range of $300k-400k, if I set the filter to $300k, it is not shown. I would probably expect it to show until I set the filter to $401k or more.

Edit: I see now that it is filtering on salary (which is visible if you look at the listing details), but the summary is showing total comp.

What confuses me is that I know for a fact that several of those projects have or will be joining the CNCF, so I’m not sure they are in need of a governing body.
