Not exactly. Tens of billions of dollars worth of BTC changes hands everyday and percentage of transactions associated with ransomware is absolutely minuscule.

modafinil and amphetamines give programmers a ludicrous advantage, and yet, "almost all" programmers aren't doing them.

I highly doubt "almost everyone in sports" use steroids.

It really depends. Some kinds of equity at firms means you get a percentage cut of monthly pnl. Some kinds of equity you can sell. Some kinds of equity are, for all intents and purposes, worthless.

Not the GP, but I absolutely cannot live without focus follows mouse and love being able to type and interact with a window without raising it. For example I can overlay a small terminal in front of a web browser and use both at the same ti

I mean, python doesn't do it very well at all. that's not say I would use Swift, but I'd choose Julia any day over Python.

F# has a much more primitive type system than Scala and isn't particularly impressive imo. And it doesn't have functors ala OCaml.

by smabie 6y ago
I guess I'm thinking of Python mostly. I thought OCaml did as well but apparently not.

How do you get recognized by practicing musicians? Could I generate white noise and pay them a cut of my future government hand outs so they would approve my white noise as music? Like honestly this idea is so amazingly terrible and full of

by smabie 6y ago
The think the government paying artists directly would solve problems? It would create tons of problems and just end up as another broken system like everything else.

I feel the opposite: defi has been shaping up to be seriously useful. There's still a lot of kinks to work out and while I don't see it replacing tradfin systems, the next 5-10 years look very bright! We will have some crypto wint

I actually don't like Pandas but I think it's pretty obvious that the array language style is an incredibly powerful way to manipulate blocks of multiple dimensional data. People here are complaining about not being able to use fo

by smabie 6y ago
It's not even about performance, writing vectorized code is just superior. The array language model is very powerful and you can literally write a couple lines of code that would take hundreds of lines of normal Python. That being said

by smabie 6y ago
Pandas isn't great, but I find it significantly nicer to use than normal Python. Why do you want to write a 100 lines of dumb loopy code when you can probably solve the same problem with a couple lines of Pandas? If you really just wan

You usually find that perps and short term futures have higher rates than longer term futures. A very common strategy is to buy longer term futures and sell shorter term ones. If you're looking for cheap delta, longer term futures are

Hah, yeah, quantos are constantly giving us trouble on bitmex. Getting the volatility right is a bitch. You a professional crypto trader? Hit me up if so, always looking to connect/network/etc.

Technically, it's not d1 (just like how futures aren't actually d1). And seeing that annualized % basis in swaps is so high (sometimes as high as 600%), you really need a good rate model to trade these things. The retail crowd d

bitmex allowed people to trade btc settled quanto derivatives contracts. That's it.

by smabie 6y ago
bitmex allowed people to trade with btc. There is no payments company or conversion to usd. bitmex only supports btc.

Most of these contracts are still traded on cex. total volume on cex exceeds 200bn a day, defi is not even close. The balance of power is shifting though.
869.
by smabie 6y ago
yeah except retail for the life of them can't figure out how to price quantos and the exchange is dying. They had such a headstart and squandered it. ftx is now positioning itself as the leading exchange.

I don't know J as well as k, but it seems to map less to trading/finance, my domain of expertise. I like that k/q is a more traditional language in a sense, you can write code (if you have to) that looks like regular function
