The expected value is a fine way of looking at it. There’s other ways that favor the startup though. Working at SV startups your whole working life will still probably result in retiring very comfortably, with some fraction of the money you

By the time a startup can pay you serious base cash compensation, I don’t think it’s likely they could also pay you serious equity compensation as an individual contributor. There’s no lottery ticket there, just trade offs. A lottery ticket

Private banks charge interest in general because that’s the opportunity cost of that money.

Somewhat reminiscent of the GME short squeeze phenomenon. New entrants buy expensive homes, they go up in value because of nimbyism, more people buy homes at the higher prices because they saw the others return, and have to become nimbyist

I think a major consideration is building what matters. Clearly, evidenced by Zooms continued dominance in spite of these scandals, these privacy issues aren’t breaking to customers. While obviously not moral, the current environment seems

I began my comment by pointing out how your comment was disrespectful, and was blunt it making that point, but I digress. My main point is that you misapplied those otherwise true principles from YC SUS because you haven't had enough p

Hey! I appreciate the feedback (rereading the site I can see the confusion), but I think concluding this is “doing poorly as a startup” is a little premature and something you can’t accurately judge, especially since from your submission hi

I just watched a video on Apple’s “cash problem”, with one of the video creators core point that “people expect the stock price to go up, and that can’t happen unless Apple does something with that cash and makes more with it!”. Got me thin

Sorry, could certainly clarify this better. Everyone who hasn't completed any actions falls into the same batch. Providing feedback or referring moves you to the next batch. In other words, those 2,877 people are others who signed up a

Fair points and I take this feedback to heart. This isn't so much a "launch" as a "show". This is my personal library. I've been adding to, maintaining, and using this for a while. My intent is primarily to gau

Ticker data is expensive! Many of these models have their results from live data, but some are just backtests. Relatively inexpensive datasets for backtesting at the ticker level start at 2008 (unfortunately, obviously, given that consideri

Certainly is! Which is why live-trading isn't enabled just yet. This library is my personal one, but the moment you provide investment advice or manage other's money you run into regulation.

Glad you recognize this fact. Love explaining the SPY as "rank public equities by revenue, take the top 500, then weight by market capitalization". Starting an ETF is highly regulated, this differs in that these algorithms just ma

Good idea. I use Interactive Brokers for most of these to execute the actual trading (though may consider Alpaca given recent events).

I think this common gripe "I'd hate to be the one just before this mass relief" has more to do with the direct costs to oneself rather than some desire that others suffer. In this case, if the graduating class right after you

It's disingenuous to cast immigration concerns like an "aging boomer thing". The vast majority of Americans are fine with vetted, legal immigration. According to Pew, nearly 80% worry about illegal immigration "At least

Different modules have different goals. Some, like the crypto ones, have easily crushed the strategy of "buy and hold an index of the total market", the hedge fund strategy and the leveraged strategy have done so as well over thei

The main reason we started maintaining this library of models is to capture that human judgement in a box easily accessed by others without the time or resources to develop it on their own. Some of them are goofy (like choosing stocks based

I personally maintain and use this library for both, with most of my investing being passive, but using the more aggressive algorithms with a smaller part of my portfolio. At the least, on either side, it serves to remove the busy work for
