  • Tough call. On one hand, choosing the primary sport probably makes it more likely that renderers will render some sort of icon for that sport. On the other hand, there’s the whole don’t map for renderers, prioritize capturing accurate data.

    When I’m torn, I try to find another example of what I’m mapping and see how somebody else mapped it. Look for a precedent if you will. If you’re comfortable with overpass and taginfo, those two sites can be invaluable in finding other examples to follow.









  • Look on the underside of the crank housing. Is there a plastic track for the cable to go around and point up?

    I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly, but here’s what the cable fixing thingie looks like with and without the bolt.

    Without the bolt, a vertical track for the cable to run through is visible left of the screw hole:

    Operate the derailleur by hand to see which way it needs to be pulled, cable pills one way, spring pulls other way.

    When I pull the derailleur to the right by hand, the cable bolt moves upward - this means it’s a top pull, yeah?

    Does this all mean that just running the cable straight down to the left of the bolt (the way I have it) might actually be the correct configuration?









  • Target funds are passively managed, which means nobody is sitting there trying to buy the bottoms and sell the tops, which is what we call actively managed funds. Not having anyone to constantly babysit them is what makes passively managed funds less expensive than actively managed in terms of expense ratios.

    Target funds tend to consist of other passively managed index funds that provide broad market coverage and whose objectives are none other than to mirror the performance of a wide range of securities in a particular asset class.

    If your friend’s 401k suffered a 50% loss in 2008 and did not recover on the way back up, that means either your friend panic-sold, your friend was in a (very poorly) actively managed fund, or (most likely) your friend is full of shit.

    Regardless, I would recommend not taking financial advice from your friend.

    To answer your question, as long as you hold passively managed index funds, you do not have to worry about someone “selling your stocks if the economy tanks.”
