A fair dice roll can only have positive values {1,2,3,4,5,6} but it has a clearly defined std deviation: sqrt(105/36) -- there's no clear reason this isn't the 'best choice' that's just a case of application.

Where do you draw the line. Would you maintain such ire for someone that worked at, say, mastercard? Unarguably 'fintech', but almost everyone would agree that efficient global transaction networks provide a lot of utility..

> At my current job (Series E+ fintech) 3 of my team of 4 are quitting over an 8% pay rise being too low. With RPI at 7%, this is actually fairly understandable, it's essentially no raise in real terms.

I agree that 'unlimited leave' is incompatible with at-will employment. However, this presupposes that most (all) employment is at-will, which obviously isn't true, especially globally.

Sure, and I can rip the audio off the DVD for Gone With The Wind, but that wouldn't make it a podcast.

Is there really not a audio only version of the podcasts your interested in. i.e. the classic rss feed of audio files. It's such a shame what has happened to podcasts

If you think this is a strawman, then you’re even more deluded than I thought. Best of luck, you’ll need it.

Most code formatters have pragmas to allow you to break out of the autoformatter, for when you really do need to override (your case 3).

Will you also forgo antibiotics the next time you have a raging infection, or do you only appeal to antiquity _sometimes_?

So where's the line. Let's say I split my time 50/50 between a high CoL area and a low CoL area. Am I obligated to declare the lower?

by hhmc 5y ago
I'm wondering what's stopping a cottage industry popping up of 'synthetic residence' in high CoL areas. E.g. I live in a low-CoL area, but I pay you, someone living a high-CoL area, $100 to nominally be your "flatma

That sounds sufficient but not necessary. Just because that's one potential trigger, doesn't mean there aren't others.

I think the honest answer is that one expects to be in the minority that uses adblock -- and for the content to be monetized by the majority that don't.

There are plenty of well rewarded functions within prop trading that _aren't_ quant trader. Although exactly how correctly remunerated these roles are varies a bit by firm.

The market impact point doesn't cut both ways though, and it's crucial.

It's a stochastic argument though. If, say, 60% of day traders lose money, then 40% necessarily make money -- but it's still EV negative unless you have a strong prior you belong in the 40%.

by hhmc 5y ago
It's worth noting that the game is fundamentally _easier_ if you're not working with an institutionally sized portfolio. 1. You don't have concern yourself with market impact 2. There are niche opportunities that lack the cap

Young children are not famously good decision makers, and it's easy to imagine them making very limiting choices that they would later come to regret.
