![]() Court of Federal Claims applies to properties only upstream of the dams. But the net result was that the vast majority of people had no idea their homes were flood prone due to their proximity to the reservoirs. He said that Harris County also warned the community about flood risks years before Harvey and that Fort Bend County began warning in subdivision plats in the early 1990s that water could be stored on private property. The judge noted that the Corps had tried to inform the public through meetings. 17 opinion that the Corps had knowingly and intentionally directed floodwaters to pool up on private property and that “pools of this size and the attendant flooding of private property were, at a minimum, objectively foreseeable.” Almost three-quarters of the 204,000 homes and apartments that took on water were outside the 100-year flood plain. The Justice Department argued that Harvey was an unprecedented event and properties were flooded all over the region, not just in the area of the reservoirs. The Constitution requires compensation for the taking of private property for public use. But city and county governments could not be sued under a Fifth Amendment “takings” claim, because the Corps alone ran the two World War II-era dams 17 miles west of Houston. No one disputed during the 10-day trial for upstream property owners last spring that county leaders were repeatedly warned about the perils to landowners. They just didn’t want to lose their tax base. They were approving plats for development. “It was the big, dirty secret around town that the developers and engineers and Harris County and the city of Houston politicians knew,” said Dunbar, a flood engineer for 40 years. Larry Dunbar, one of the lawyers who represented upstream residents and property owners, noted that the absence of legal liability does not absolve local governments of blame for failing to act in the years prior to Harvey. The Justice Department, which represents the Corps in hundreds of claims, declined through a spokesman to comment on the counties’ liability in the upstream disaster. “We don’t have control to make the decisions.” “We don’t have keys to the car,” said Spinks, an executive managing attorney in County Attorney Vince Ryan’s office. Federal officials also didn’t push for stricter building rules or purchase at-risk upstream properties, which could have prevented losses, she said. Melissa Spinks, an attorney who represented Harris County in three dismissed lawsuits related to Addicks and Barker reservoir flooding, said the county could not be held liable because it neither owns nor maintains the reservoirs. In short, while county leaders may have had a duty to protect and warn residents, the courts have held the federal government had the sole legal responsibility for intentional flooding following the epic 2017 downpour. The federal judge found the Corps intentionally used upstream neighborhoods to store rising floodwater. Many homes around Addicks and Barker remained dry after Harvey’s rainfall stopped, only to be swamped as the reservoirs filled beyond capacity. The maps did not reflect information about areas that were known to be subject to dam-induced flooding. In addition, Flood Insurance Rate Maps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency showed areas that would flood due only to rainfall. Evidence showed that agency officials repeatedly declined to buy additional properties above the reservoirs that they knew could be inundated in extreme weather.Īlthough county officials permitted construction on former prairie and ranch lands, it was the Corps that operated the reservoirs, detained water during the deluge and directed it toward privately owned land during Harvey, inundating more than 10,000 properties. Now a judge has found the federal government liable in what was essentially a human-engineered disaster. ![]() The Corps - along with local officials and private engineers - had predicted the neighborhoods inside invisible “lakebeds” would take on water during heavy rainfall. So how much will Harris and Fort Bend counties have to pay out, given that local officials approved construction of thousands of suburban homes and businesses on the edge of reservoirs that officials knew lacked the water storage capacity to withstand a major storm? A court ruling this month that the Army Corps of Engineers must compensate flooded residents and property owners upstream of two massive dams for losses during Hurricane Harvey could leave the federal government with a $1 billion bill to settle claims.

![]() That alone is game changing in some cases. The fact that iStats give you a view of the entire device when querying any particular stat, vs. iStats provides a more flexible, scalable, picture complete (non TMM specific) mechanism for tracking information vital to your deployment, and critical when building business solutions in many cases. Hopefully the picture that is shaping up is as obvious to everyone else as it is to me. - iStats can be both read and modified by the control plane, I.E.- Any consumer of iStats (even iRules) will always get the global view (meaning, not on a per-TMM basis, but rather aggregated over all stat producers), which is extremely important in many cases where you want to look at the overall picture when referencing a stat, not a per TMM number, given that there are multiple if not many TMMs per device in most cases.- iStats do not have to be preconfigured or predefined, they can be built on the fly, effectively. ![]() - Users can create an arbitrary number of iStats (although there is a practical limit of 5,000-10,000 iStats).In contrast, let's look at iStats in a similar way and compare the differences: They aren't amazingly flexible, and provide limited hooks into the control plane (command line, GUI, etc.) which makes them somewhat isolated from the bigger picture of your BIG-IP's configuration and existence at large. While a stats profile can be useful in many cases, it is largely used to track data plane only metrics such as connections, data rates, etc. - Cannot be modified from the control plane.- Stat values are sometimes available only on a per-TMM basis.- Limited to a small number of statistics.First let's look at what we know about a stats profile: IStats are similar in concept to the existing stats profile, with several important variations. IStats are user-created custom statistics, accessible from both the data plane (iRules) and the control plane (tmsh, on-box scripts, etc.). In this 2-parter we'll talk about iStats first from a higher level overview/introduction perspective, and then a bit more in-depth in part 2, talking about specific metrics that are measurable, commands available from within iRules, etc. iStats were introduced in v11, and are worth talking about, as they can dramatically change the way you are solving problems, depending on your deployment. Between sideband connections, iFiles and improvements of already existing functionality, it's hard to imagine there is more yet to discuss in v11 iRules goodness, but there is. iRules improvements and features were among the cooler things changed, in the opinion of this avid iRuler. Version 11 of BIG-IP brought with it many enhancements and new features ranging across the entire product. ![]() Sometimes, a portfolio’s asset mix may also result in a substantial benchmark error. This can lead to an overestimation or underestimation of a portfolio’s performance, misguiding an investor. ![]() What is a benchmark error?īenchmark error is the use of an incorrect benchmark or standard when evaluating portfolio performance. Thematic benchmarks do not represent the overall market and are rather used by investors looking to invest in a particular theme. Similarly, for funds investing in the housing theme, the Nifty Housing Index would be the thematic benchmark that managers can use. Under thematic benchmarking, fund managers create customised benchmarks for the funds based on a specific theme or sector.įor instance, if the fund invests in the ESG (Energy, Social and Government) theme, the fund benchmark would be a thematic index like the Nifty 100 ESG Index. They typically serve as a benchmark for passively managed funds, helping investors who look for exposure to stocks with strong fundamental characteristics. ![]() They may also use elements like book value or revenue. Under fundamental benchmarking, market capitalisation is the main ‘fundamental’ criteria used when filtering stocks. Governments, central banks and economists use benchmarks to study the overall mood of the market/market segments/sectors and monitor trends.įundamental and thematic are two types of benchmark indices that differ in how they are constructed and what type of stocks they include.They can act as a reference point to evaluate the risk and return from a portfolio.Benchmark indices can help measure the overall performance of the stock market or a particular economic sector.Most managed funds have a standard benchmark against which they can be compared.A benchmark can help assess the performance of an asset, fund and or portfolio.The following are some reasons why benchmarks are important in investing: A benchmark error is not the same as a tracking error.A fund is considered to have underperformed if the returns are lower than its benchmark and vice versa.They are also useful for detecting trends and market moods. Benchmarks are crucial because they provide a yardstick to compare an investment’s performance.Different asset classes have different benchmarks. A benchmark is a measure that can be used to assess security or a mutual fund’s performance. ![]() This is the complete list.Īgain, both Apple M1 and Intel iMacs are on this list.

Shockingly, most virtual bankers stay on the up-and-up, and virtual money is trusted to be in safe hands.Īnd the libertarians out there will like reading about how, in all of these cases, the games' libertarian/anarchic financial models caused their economies to recover from crashes much more rapidly than in the real world (as did things like, say, the lack of a minimum wage). This is opposed to the real world fractal-reserve system, where physical cash can be lent out willy-nilly whenever deemed necessary. For instance, MMO banks tend to operate on a full-reserve system, where 100 percent of the customers' money is kept in the bank at all times. Given, the cash drawer has to be super freakin' sturdy.Īnd experts say that researching all of this has uncovered several fascinating tidbits. Players work for in-game "gold" (by killing monsters or crafting items), and, therefore, that gold represents their labor. But in a gaming world, you have millions of players dealing with virtual currency and goods - things that are totally real (to them) and cause them to make decisions accordingly. And you can't just try shit in the real world to see what happens - not even tiny little booger countries like Andorra would be cool about becoming an economical petri dish that may or not result in total depression. They've since discovered that these games serve as the ultimate financial experiment, allowing experts to observe how markets fluctuate, survive, and thrive in circumstances that can't be duplicated in the real world.Īfter all, you can't just simulate economic theory on a computer and see how it goes - real economies are made up of human beings, and it's pretty much impossible for a computer model to guess what they're going to do. That's the sort of thing that is interesting to people like Eyjolfur Gudmundsson and Yanis Varoufakis, economists who have been hired by game companies CCP Games and Valve, respectively, to manage their games' economic models.

There are banks and banking scandals - a 2009 Eve Online bank collapsed when its shady owner made off with all of the bank's money, trading it for real-life cash and then disappearing into the darkness (aka deleting his account and clicking over to porn).
