What the poster is saying is objectively true. At least in NYC. I would add they are particularly dangerous to pedestrians. Whether the poster has previously slow rolled through a stop sign or cars are dangerous to bikes are separate point

My experience is quanty people (I'm one also) have too much confidence in their answers. To make good predictions, you need to make good estimates AND understand what your confidence in your estimate should be.

FWIW, I work in finance and often listen to Hackernews discussions on finance and investing. It is often some horrendously bad takes. I then have the thought, "Am I doing this in areas where I don't have much experience?". I

Probably for the best. Don’t really want your various 3 letter agencies operating apart from elected leaders.

A fixed allocation to a one-size-fits-all tail risk fund doesn't work. It won't have positive returns over the long run. And its diversification benefit will not be enough to overcome the drag on performance. A tail risk strategy

Hasn't 2000 Mules been debunked multiple times? It is basically "election was stolen" nonsense. Why do you think it is true? https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/07/texas-ken-paxton-200... htt

Does anyone know how tied OpenAI is to CUDA? I would imagine it is not locked in. Seems like that would be an easily avoidable mistake.

You can argue that this PE, at this market cap implies, it will eventually have the world's largest market cap (larger than apple...maybe 2X). Would think OpenAI and others would tire of buying chips from NVIDIA at some point well befo

This is true only if you look narrowly at developed countries. If you look more broadly, a tremendous number of people have had huge increases in income in places like China. That might even be related (i.e., wages for workers are being dep

They have a mandate to do sensible things. And a massive 2nd round of additional fiscal stimulus was not sensible. Additionally, fiscal policy is little slower or more crude than monetary levers. They could be part of the solution. But putt

There are a ton of issues. For example, plumbing is very expensive. And in office towers, plumbing is typically run only to service bathrooms near the core of the building. Not bathrooms and kitchens spread all over the floor plan.

I think the author is just talking like they normally do. There is generally a lot of jargon and acronyms used here. All the time. Just that most of it is regarding programming/development, so people don't notice it. Also, even if

Legacy at top schools means if your parents went there, you are fast tracked to admissions. It matters a lot. More than test scores. If you are in that group, you have way higher chance of admission. TBC, you still need high test scores. Th

How would this explain...that vast majority of banks were not doing what you say they were incentivized to do? Maybe they weren't?

Did the person you are responding to actually say "They were hiding their behavior... Therefore we don't need regulation?" Does anyone say that?

Adding to this, the key is what these market actors purchase in place of the bonds that were sold. They shift out and buy more risky assets. Corporate bonds, equities. And then next the people that held the corps/equities that were sol

My view, having watched some super wealthy guys up close, is the formula to make a lot of money in one life time is: (1) Be skillful at whatever you do + (2) Take a lot of risk Keep in mind there is a survivorship bias at work. So the re

As alum, I don’t think any of the buildings are particularly great. Lots of things to love about the university. The physical campus was always kinda meh (but functional).

I don’t see it. For example, they are one of the few of the top universities that don’t do legacy admissions. What are your examples?

"find he delirious lying on the field alone" Really, really sorry about that. We have similar but different issues with one of our children. I understand the constant stress that something could happen. I wish you the best of luck

It is very easy to believe. I could have flipped a coin, gone long or short at beginning of this year. I would have had a 50% chance of outperforming the market by 40% this year (given it is down roughly 20%).

BTW, data costs also too low. Just a BB terminal around 30k and a lot of extra data from BB costs extra (can be 200-300k per additional product). For quant strategy probably looking at 500k up to 2M for data initially. And you will likely b
