I am the exact same way you are. My brain tends to kick into high gear around the exact same time that society dictates that I go to bed. The only thing I have found to help me is some form of sleeping pills. I'm not sure what they are doin

Are you working for a corporation, or are you working for yourself? Also, for the position you are in, do you need to speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

Does anyone know of any other websites for Night Owls besides www.nightowlnet.com and www.nightowlcafe.com? I want to believe that there is a whole group of people who are dedicated towards making my condition more known so that I one day w

I love the night. I also love the winter and cloudy days. Has anyone ever thought about running their company at night? Has anyone thought about making the normal hours for your programmers start sometime after 8 pm? It might produce intere

If you have the ability to travel, I recommend heading down to Foxwoods (about 2 hour drive) around 11pm on Friday or Saturday. Most people are enebriated by then, and the Texas Hold'em tables are like an ATM. EDIT: Sorry, I assumed that yo

I thought about trying Pandora. What was your opinion of it?

Great Lakes Brewery has several really good beers, though the best comes out only around Christmas time. If you are ever in the North Ohio region around Christmas time, I recommend picking up some of their Christmas Ale.

Come on, most of us have had some form of logic class. It shouldn't be that hard. !(!p) = p.

I thought about the same thing. The University of Iceland apparently teaches its classes in Icelandic, but (from the website) the textbooks are mostly in English. Perhaps learning Icelandic and then doing a PhD might be a way to achieve tha

I find that I have the opposite problem: intense concentration and the ability to stay up for long periods of time. I have to take Tylenol PM just to conform to a normal sleep schedule. I don't know exactly what my natural bodily cycle is,

No, the broker is an externality--his strategy is fixed before the game even starts.

I'm guilty of not creating a distinction between speculation and investing. Technically, investing done right consists of creating knowledge about what resources will be in what demand in the future. A speculator plays a mere hunch. The dis

You're spot on that the market is a means of both creating information and disseminating information. Information is key to game theory. That's where sigma algebras and filtrations start to creep into theory.

To truly understand the implications of game theory applied to the financial markets, you should look up the concept of Pareto improvements and Pareto optimums.

The more you learn, the more you begin to realize how little you know. Understanding something deeply enough to explain it to others yet never having contributed something unique to the field does not make you a fraud, it makes you someone

Icahn is not infallible when it comes to internet companies. While Time Warner is not 100% tech, it should be noted that his proxy war never came to fruition.

I fully agree. Learning is not a linear process. Those that ultimately learn the most are those who have probably failed the most. It is only through humility that you start to accumulate knowledge. I've run thousands of times into brick wa

What are the policies of the lab when it comes to the employees using the technology for the greater good of mankind? Do you have a deep knowledge of something? Use the media to create a series of video lectures on that topic. I always love

It really depends on the domain you want to work in. Do you want to create a web service? Do you want to create systems? Do you want to create a tech start-up? I assume the answer to the last is yes, but even then it is not necessary for ev

If you are alive, then you have the ability to sit down and pursue this. Failure versus success is a completely different argument. EDIT: What I am trying to get is across is this--the only thing that would be stopping you is you. Who cares

I respond with a simple question: Are you alive? I am not trying to be rude, overly simple, or anything else that may be viewed as a negative response. I am simply trying to clear away all of the clutter.

I was thinking about how to better answer your question concerning the sub-zero game statement I made. Let's remove ourselves from finance for a minute into something that is more traditional in the game theory studies--namely poker. If the

Liquidity is one type of risk. There exist also interest rate risk, price risk, etc. Commissions are an expense that both sides pay to play the game. Money is not transferred from one player to another, it is transferred to outside the game

I have never given thought as to what grade this could start with, but surely kicking someone out of the process at too early of an age is detrimental to society as a whole. I do, however, believe that there is a certain point at which this

First, options and futures involve a sub-zero game. Money leaks out via commissions. Second, there are two types of players in this game. The first group is the speculators. They play the game for profit from the game. The second group is r
