Sad waste of talent, just like all the people trying to figure out how to get more eyeballs on advertising. Physics people trying to eek out a millisecond or two out of a trading system in order to front-run order books just seems so trite and short-sighted. It's personally very disappointing that we exist in an economy which so highly incentivizes this type of endeavor.
