I mean, the goal of absolute return hedge funds is pretty much the same: only have exposure to alpha factors. With market makers it’s pretty much the same thing: only have exposure to order flow. That’s the alpha. I’ve worked as a quant at

Is it still popular with kids? I was under the impression that it was replaced by fortnite. And what do both games have in common? They're both free .

Freedom isn't about people doing things you like. It's about allowing people to do things you don't like.

I would argue that the GPL is so restrictive to violate the principles of FOSS. BSD or public domain is better and more free.

My wife always play guitar and even after she stops I hear the song she was playing for the rest of the day. It’s very unnerving. What other parts of reality am I just filling in?

2 Sigma and Bridgewater due pretty well for themselves Sharpe ratio-wise. Also if we're talking about market makers, Jane Street, Susquehanna, Fortress, and Citadel very well for themselves.

Some investors care about returns. Some care about Sharpe ratio. But investors only care about low-fees when they underperform their benchmark net of fees.

Absolutely. You wouldn't know how/when to back test, you wouldn't know how to reduce turnover in your portfolio, you wouldn't know how to measure the volatility of your portfolio, you wouldn't understand why you wer

Li Kin-Kan is what is called "dumb money."

Wait, so you keep all of your money in cash? Because that's... a terrible idea.

What is "the index?" The S&P 500? The FTSE 250? The Nikkei? The Russell 2000? The Russel 3000? The risk-free rate? LIBOR? When you make statements like this, they mean nothing at all. Let's say you're talking about t

On Venice Beach I was walking a year ago and surprised by the animosity of the “regulars” (venice bums mostly) toward Bird scooters. Knocking them over, throwing them in the street, I even saw one guy through one into the ocean. I was a sur

I was on an IRC channel hosted by this guy. Maybe 5-6 people all 13-15 back in 2007. They were/are my best friends. For over 10 years we talked. The guy who ran it worked for the CIA and got arrested as the person responsible for the V

The spreadsheet seems pretty damning. I'm not a lawyer, but isn't it illegal to judge an employee on whether they are male/female or "non-white"?
