I understand. You are saying an extra 30K won't make your life very different but an extra $3m would. And you have 30K lying around you can gamble for that chance. I get it. There's still opportunity cost lying around all over the

if you don't need that money why are you betting it to get even more money you don't need? :) It is risk, maybe not existential risk for you but risk. If you have a savings account, you don't need that money right now probabl

That's a loss of opportunity cost. It's not devoid of risk. Sell your btc now, that's the money you can lose.

Have you kept an eye on how much fresh graduates are making in SV these days?

For now the apps that aim for a kill are games. I've tried many VR games and I've only really liked one, Elite: Dangerous. I don't know if it's the killer app VR needs, probably not, but it's impressive and I trul

To me this sounds too much like one side of the story. There's no proof of anything and there are a few red flags so I don't know if this is all true or it's a hit piece on GH. I've no idea and if anything, I find amusin

I think nobody really touches David Simon in TV. He's like Miyazaki in anime I feel. First it's him, then everybody else. The Wire, Treme, Generation Kill... it's just another level. On the next step below we'd have thin

I think extra work and productivity translating into reward is one of the best indicators that you are in a good company.

I think part of the reason they are not talked about anymore is that people like to talk about the hot and sexy and not the mature and incrementally improving. The hot and sexy now is full of Javascript and noSQL so ORMs aren't as rele

I would see it this way: I would offer to give that person more responsibility and more and perhaps more complex work. He could decide to perform as before and keep browsing reddit but if they choose to take more work that's likely the

The difficult part for me is avoiding napping during 50% of my conference calls.

Well then you should be as shocked at the transformation of an exciting research field from a technical pursuit to a den of scammers, con artists and desperately ignorant speculators. That's why you see the attitude you see in HN.

Again, this is opinions but I just disagree. I listened to the links you pointed and bit more about spongle. They sound nice, I don't dislike it I will probably listen to them again some time when I want some groove going on, they are

This kind of starry eyed delusional exaggeration is why btc/eth/ico, etc. are seen with suspicion in places like HN. Blockchains is an area of active research, they are nowhere near the most important thing in any amount of time,

Well, if a court makes you liable for some payment and you have eth assets, they will force you to liquidate and pay. They can't confiscate it but if you refuse you go to jail.

It's the whole record that's why it's 2h. If you have Spotify you can listen to them piecemeal. I recommend Tri Repetae. It's my favorite record of them. It's not for everyone, and it's definitely not dance mus

Again, that's what I said, it's subjective. To me infected mushroom and splonge (or however it's spelled) is nice sounding gym music, very little complexity or depth. It sounds like 1000 other trance or rave songs and little

This shows how subjective things are. I'm really into electronic music, or at least was. Some of your links are absolute masterpieces like autechre or aphex twin. Some of the the other trance stuff is so far below in my opinion that do

From trying it a few minutes, thinking about how I'd use it and from articles. I'm not saying I wouldn't change my mind after 1 year but at this point I don't think I would and I don't like those features.

The SB has full size USB ports, the new MBP USB-c. That alone for me is better as I don't want to deal with adaptors.

Yeah but those stocks were going up regardless. I thought the only point in Yahoo existing for the past few years was trying to figure out some way to avoid tax on selling the alibaba/yahoo japan stake. Yahoo critically failed at that

Well they are obviously fundamental type of investors, and I have no doubts this type of investment is superior to pattern matching and chart gazing. But I see all those guys doing their pretty technical analysis charts in stocks and bitcoi

If you want to understand finance 360, from compliance to settlements, from middle office to government bonds structuring, sure, get a CFA. But somebody learning to trade not only doesn't need one, but very little of what's in it

As far as I understand historical daily data is easy to get from yahoo, google, etc. Data is only difficult to find/expensive when you need tick data.

Can you provide sources that back up your claim with studies of inefficiency of technical analysis? I'm not busting your balls, I actually agree with you but I haven't seen it really proven.

Quants don't usually have CFAs. A phD in physics is more common to see. CFAs help you working in a real financial environment where you need to be aware of a lot of stuff. If you want to day trade at home, it's close to useless. P
