Who exactly do you think the CEO of Microsoft Gaming reports to? This is a pretty common corporate structure. I've worked under a total of 4 CEOs in a hierarchy before (CEO of an investment firm reports to CEO of the owning bank's

After 14 failed quesses and only two letters revealed, I read your comment and guessed BOOBY, which left only one letter missing -- the correct answer was BOOZY.

SecDB is one of the greatest technological achievements in finance.

Precisely, this is one of the few fields where actually being able to do it will make you more money than becoming an 'influencer' who talks about the field to other people. The fact he is doing the latter says a lot.

This is what I find strangest. At least coins like Ethereum and Solana have entire ecosystems of complex projects being built up around them (no matter how skeptical one may be of those projects), Bitcoin seems like an incredibly spartan ec

If WhatsApp encryption can be broken, there is no way the agencies capable of doing so would share it with the lowly SEC. That would be a top level state secret.

Well that was the case. Multi-bp LIBOR moves are pretty rare outside of exigent circumstances and the mechanics of doing so would be pretty tricky given that outlier submissions are thrown out. Wilmott had a good article recently on the mec

The problem is that it's basically impossible to know. I'd imagine the vast majority of infractions were just employees improperly communicating privileged information via Whatsapp or whatever, without gaining any real advantage b

I don't see how this isn't just patently false. Haskell is used to process every single user interaction on Facebook and OCaml handles billions of dollars of trades daily at Jane St. I doubt your use cases are more 'serious&#

What font is being used in the screenshot?

Well I'm not sure what to say. Domains require measure theory if you want to model probabilistic programming languages. Domain theory is part of CS. If you don't know what a domain is, that's kind of on you to read up on.

There's an abstract right there: > Measure theory has played an important role for domains in modeling probabilistic computation.

Not 'to trade' but to enter the small world of HFT. Many, many industries have capital barriers to entry, I don't really see the big deal. Just as I cannot start an HFT firm, I also cannot start a toy factory or restaurant wi

The famously outperforming fund at Renaissance (Medallion) does not take outside money, and Renaissance itself is a privately held company, so there's not much need to cultivate such a cult. Honestly, I don't really get your persp

RenTech was founded years before LTCM and is still going strong. It's not repetition of history, they've outlasted or are older than most of the trading desks ever. They're basically a business providing a service to other ma

I really don't think it's that far out in the tails, especially given we're discussing top universities. If you're at MIT/Harvard/Stanford you're definitely aiming for 200k TC fresh out of undergrad.

None of them are individual projects, all of those companies have several projects in Haskell. Standard Chartered, for one, have their own custom implementation of Haskell and it is used by dozens of developers across different projects.

Great tool, but I find the name quite strange. To me it's incredibly evocative of the 90s.

Why would the role of consulting CTO be non-permanent? It just implies a part-time approach.

Most financial jobs in the private sector allow the ownership of individual stocks. This is quite a strong ban being implemented, it doesn't suggest there were no guidelines in the first place.

Yes, Citi did. They couldn't revert the transaction because they accidentally paid off the full value of a debt when making an interest rate payment on behalf of a client, and the law says that repayment of a debt does not need to be r
