wow! what do you think made them standout so much?

For the first point I agree. In this person's case it is more extreme. I don't know what capacity your involved in sell side trading but I'll share some cases I've seen in case anyone else reading is curious as well. For

Yes this is what I meant. Basically if your in sell-side trading, corporate flows are your bread and butter. The way it works is some corporate customer has some hedging need and the sales desk slaps on a big fat margin that contributes to

I used to work in trading. Honestly a very large portion of the markets trading type business for investment banks is really just taking advantage one way or another of these kind of regulatory loopholes, not as blatantly as this maybe but

Whoaa horsey! We don't want some vc guy to wet himself looking at this thread

That's actually an interesting thought. I don't know how much actual value that would actually add but would be pretty interesting
547.

I can sort of resonate with this. I also realized that once I make it my default assumption that whatever it is I plan to do is most likely going to result in some sort of dumpster fire, and if I'm still ok with it, than the fear, conc

This seems super hacky though

Thank you, Dang!

> Also, prices aren't stationary I'm not sure about the rest of your comment, but this is mathematically the correct reason why we don't predict absolute price levels. And the reason why this is mathematically the correct

Lol was wondering the same thing myself haha

Yeah this is highly prevalent in the game botting industry. A lot of games these days have detection mechanisms if you access memory directly and change anything, or hook their functions. A friend of mine tried to drag me into game botting&

So did the course result in 20+ something new proofs for computational theory?

You make it sound almost easy... I'm sure the startup scene is still littered with those that didn't quite make it

As sad as it is, I feel this is more or less accurate. Unfortunately humans and society as a whole are wired such that we are compelled to form factions and destroy each other. But I guess that's what other animals do anyways

Kudos to you, that's awesome, especially giving most of it to charity. How did you reach your customers? At 5 dollars per sale, that's around 100 customers per month for something that seems relatively non-essential

In general though from what I read on hn I get the impression that it sucks to be an early employee at most startups, especially early stage. From what I've read a lot of compensation seems to be in equity and not cash, and unless it t

But that's the problem because vc money got involved, at which point it essentially had to go big or go home

That's not really how it works though, it's a monthly salary and you aren't actually paid more if you spend more time doing work. If anything the contrary works: if I've spent an hour taking a dump at work, then I'v

I see this a lot but I feel its quite difficult to actually pull off. Even though your mvp can and should be shitty sometimes it still takes a lot of effort and talking with potential customers to even figure out what you should be building

I've read of this other view that the true value of management consulting is hiring an outside group of people to tell you what you want to hear so the executives can justify their decisions to the shareholders / board / what

I think there's actually another side to prestige and wealthy up-bringing. You sort of inherently act differently if you were bought up rich. Its hard to describe exactly but you tend to be more (blindly) self-confident and just behave

Well then clearly you have some work to do. Everyone knows that you've only made it when your a target for eavesdropping by the nsa

Part of yc's interview question is "when have you 'hacked' or taken exploited the system to your advantage." I don't think it's about doing illegal stuff for the sake of it but more about taking advantage

No truer words have been said

I think there are definitely some tremors in this space. I feel like we could see some action further on? what do others think?

I'm guess most of your revenue is coming from the prints/merchandise? Do they tend to make they're own or buy a premade one?

I think we've just solved detection and prevention in one go

Would tin foil hats help? No I'm serious, well that help deflect the waves or something? We can send in all cia agents in foreign countries with tin foil hats on in future
