I'm not sure about any Rentec mutual fund, I don't think such a thing exists, but aren't the funds they have open to institutional investors not doing particularly well? When most people say Rentec they think Medallion, which

I appreciate your response and it definitely wasn't more information than I wanted, the main reason I enjoy this site so much is because I get to see what others are passionate about. I also want to make extra clear that I didn't

Thanks again to both you and mswen for the kind words and encouragement. Sorry to not offer more specifics but I need to be careful on what I reveal about our workflow and ops since my employer guards those things pretty seriously but we ha

I'm curious how those like you who are extremely intelligent feel about teaching, specifically topics which are very rudimentary to you, and whether this bores you to death or provides you with any enjoyment or sense of fulfillment? I&

Thank you for the encouraging words. I try and check HN every day before my shift but I usually never have time to comment until much later, at which point there isn't much activity in the threads, so I sometimes wonder whether or not

I understand what you’re saying but I wouldn’t completely dismiss the psychological effect that a sense of feeling needed or the pride you can gain from work has on many people. The sense of being needed may not be important to you, and to

I agree with what you've said but I would add that as someone who works in the trades, and who knows quite a few welders who run the gamut from barely competent to "great", one attribute that all of the ones I would classify

If you have any interest in firearms or warfare/military history, /k/ can be surprisingly good at times along with operatorchan. Those are obviously very niche though.

To my knowledge no one. However, there are people on the political spectrum who would like to curtail or eliminate gun ownership. If you are a gun owner who believes that firearms offer a means of protecting yourself and the government wish
