Some of them do beat the market. They are also producing returns that are more robust to a downturn. So even if they dont match the S&P performance, in a downturn they dont lose as much as the S&P does. It's difficult to compar

This kind of thing sounds great, any suggestions for area of businesses that you would look at starting? Part of the challenge is that the range of things that you could do is massive.

Selection bias, if you're starting a company at age 43, you are risking your career and monetary stability. The type of person who can afford this is probably already part of an elite financially secure class. How misleading is this ar

I would consider myself an amateur neuroscientist, in the sense that I frequently read blogs on the newest publications and findings, have a decent background in pharmacology literature. Aside from FMRI scans, which give us a very broad pic

The problem with neuroscience is that they know nothing. For instance, it was considered true that neurons in the brain dont change and adapt, and then the concept of nueroplasticity came along, it was revolutionary. Twenty years later, a n

Quick question, do you do much machine learning in your current job on complex and large datasets? I find that the people who claim that machine learning is not math heavy are not solving the actual hard ML problems. Ofcourse it will be eas

thats not the point, the point is that you cant assume that you really know what the function is doing, too often its doing something else thats really hard to figure out without looking closely. Good code will make it so that you dont have

Yeah you really cannot find any good information about it without spending hours, google just surfaces terrible generic articles on equity. Real information is surprisingly hard to come by, some kind of SEO has pushed it elsewhere.

This "new technology will create new jobs" is the biggest lie that economics ever told. The crises in the midwest in this country and the subsequent election of Donald Trump is a direct result of the displacement of American worke

I personally love the language, its rare to find a language that supports both object oriented and functional programming styles, while at the same time being able to access all the libraries available for java. Its definitely easy to shoot

Scala is useful in big data and ML, apache spark is written in it. It works very well for data transformations

But can they get the huge volumes of data they have tagged out? The real time pipelines and internal tools? The community of people they will be working with?

FB and Google are the only ones pushing the industry forward. The huge amount of data and computing power is what brings these researchers, its not all about money. In the long run the scientific advancements from these companies is a much

Yeah its funny, I still read outrage about those greedy "HFT players", as if HFT was still highly relevant. It was a blip in time of the financial markets when no one had high speed trading but a few. The alpha has been washed awa

This used to be true. Small HFT firms can find a niche thats profitable, but thats because there isnt enough money to be made by the big firms in those niches. In the last few years there has been massive consolidation of the smaller HFT pl

I say dangerous because of the way I came about the book. I read it in high school before I knew any philosophy and it formed the basis of my perception about which philosophers are important. A decade later, after much self study, I reread

Bertrand Russell also paints an extremely negative view of Nietzsche in that book. The whole work is extremely biased, it's a dangerous book to read on philosophy if you dont already know the field well, theres too much bias and its to
