Philosophy is not predictive. Why do people think that? Is set theory predictive? The very principle that you describe, the principle of falsifiability of a scientific theory, is a philosophical construct (developed and described by Karl Po

You mean, like the fact of Earth-centric solar system models everybody used to believe in? This is not why people look down on philosophy. This is why STEM people fail to learn anything about it. Other people look down on philosophy, becaus

Dude, I work in risk on the sell side. If anyone in banking seriously mentions TA they get laughed at at best . Bad idea to bring it up in an interview though. The only field where a sort-of technical analysis may be mentioned is HFT, bu

I'd go with passive ETFs tracking a market index. Very few mutual funds can beat them, especially when you subtract the management fee.

Technical analysis is the financial markets' equivalent of astrology. It is especially bad, if you are considering investment horizon of over a day.

It started off as a cautionary thing for me, when I had to buy (optional) text books and didn't want to blow my money on something bad, so I started paying way more attention to the negative reviews.

by jevgeni 11y ago
I have a system, where I read the most negative reviews of the book. If the reviews are eloquent and make a solid point, I don't buy the book. If the negative reviews are mostly whiny,emotional rants without any valid solid arguments,

Well, in a free market the possibility of a big player to poach the core of a company would be priced in by the investor. I'd expect to see a lot less equity and a lot more debt-like VC deals at vastly lower valuations.

I don't think Japan's concern is that they themselves will attack a neighbour. Without beating around the bush, they are concerned with China reasserting its naval military presence as of late.

Thank you for the advice. I kind of reckoned one would need to. I'm about to buy one and currently looking, if there are shops that do repairs, if need be.

Of course. I believe, it's because of the manufacturer's (and the consumers') changed priorities. I think when a product arrives at a certain level of quality, it's difficult to see a difference, unless you have very goo

I can see the point. My hobby is photography. I love my Nikon D5300 to bits, but after a year of usage two buttons are stuck and the eyecup needs replacing. And then there are people using twin reflex cameras from the 50s and they run like

Nobody cares. Isn't it kind of sad, really? I mean that the world pays attention to Russia only when they either kill, steal, or take hostages?

Oh, I understand. Good point, actually. :)

Well, China has very old ties with Outer Manchuria (also known as Priamursk is Russia [1]), so would it be OK for China to invade? There is a lot of shared history around the world, like Alsace-Lorraine, for example. Strangely enough Germ

Good point. :) I've meant "hacking" in the (yet again) bastardized sense - the tech start-up scene. It just seems to me that the scale, or the grand vision of new tech start ups has been incredibly mundane lately. I often ima

How did the "hacking" world go from "Let's organize and make accessible all of the world's information." to "Let's make a couple of phone calls to people you don't know" ?
