Now building: a course on Quantitative Finance Over the years I've been a math student at Caltech, a teacher, quant at a Hedge Fund, engineer at Google, and co-founder of Socratica. This course will make use of all my experience. youtu.be/Fddv4RRWAvo

Americans now have learned helplessness. As a result, they come up with excuses why we can't have all the nice things Japan has. People need to accept that super wealthy groups don't want America to have nice infrastructure, so we'll never have nice infrastructure.

A great & disturbing article about this from 2022. Excerpt: "The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival."

Being a cut throat business, CBS wouldn't take a loss unless someone was paying them in a different way to keep the show on. Just sayin'...

A smart executive would have changed tactics on the spot. "OK, this is now a Will & Alan movie." This was a chance to increase the star power of Alan and book him for another movie.

I'm not sure you should go Zero to Southern a single day.

I find it surprising people accept these bizarre grant descriptions at face value. Hopefully people will look at the receipts of grant recipients to see what is actually going on. Money laundering? Worse?

😞😥 Deep down everybody knows what's going on. Most people are afraid to admit it because they were sad during our so-called "lockdowns." They don't want to mask or take precautions because they're no fun. So people will continue blaming the vax or pre-existing conditions.

This makes me sad. The internet would be SO much better if it weren't 99% driven by ads. Then the incentives would be to make the product better, not spy on your every move to optimize ad placement.

If you're interested I've had COVID once and immediately developed a heart condition. My wife is in the highest risk group you can imagine. I can't afford to get sick again and my wife can't afford to get sick at all. I'd be happy to answer your questions about zero COVID.

I think society demanded & expected a certain sense of pride and decorum. Every era has its pros & cons. To me this was a big pro from that time.

YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, etc. could easily give creators the option to hide abusive comments. My guess is a sensitive person like Mikayla would have selected this option. But Big Tech companies won't give people this option because it would reduce engagement and revenue.
