3327··on Forcing Small Investors Out of Big Opportunities: The SEC’s 99 Investor Limit
Worst decision for inequality ever.

However, at the time, financing, shares, equity, small time fraud, were also harder to regulate and enforce.

Only did we learn in the 2009s that big time fraud was also overlooked.

3327··on Kaggle/Janet Street Market Prediction Challenge
Read the license, calculate the reward (40K first place), the time it takes, and then guess what Jane street pays its average data scientist (Hint more than 300K a year).

Here is a game theory problem, given you may be brilliant and think you can succeed - you handover something amazing to Jane street and give it to them on a silver platter. They probably will hire you too.

I have a better offer: respond to this message if you solve it and don't share it with Jane street and I will give you 100K & 10% of profits until you die. Given Due-dilly, & customary formalities. This is a Serious offer.

3327··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
Google didn’t index them, or they optd out (stay closed, etc.)

In any case, at some point I remember seeing forums in search results and at some point after - never again.

Perhaps someone solves topic modeling and knowledge graph AI and all the gibberish chats become knowledge in the near distant future.

3327··on Xi Jinping personally halted Ant's IPO after Jack Ma snubbed government leaders
This is what happens when you go on stage with a rock band act like you play the guitar, when you are not. I guess the music is over and the lights came on. Learn your lesson Mr. Ma - and fall in line.

The Ant Has been crushed. I say Reign them all in. China govt has figured out that the giants indeed to kill innovation and industry.

Down with them all. Fb, Goog, Amzn, Baba. All you HN folk who work for any of these toxic companies - may god have mercy on your souls when you leave this earth for the digital atrocities you have committed and been a part of.

3327··on macOS Big Sur
Just want to put here the long term consequences of supporting closed ecosystem Apple:

-A future of monolithic internet instead of a flourishing forrest.

-Technological advances driven by singular forces - i.e ultra thin laptops.

-The decimation of small but potentially impactful hardware innovation that my flourish one day.

Don’t get me wrong - i write this post on a Mac, for the same reason you all use it. Much of the technology is now mature enough but Apple’s muscle and patent have now become an inhibiting force. Thus this is my last Mac, last iphone. hopefully this resonates with someone, and instead of picking holes in a 5 bullet point post you focus on the bigger message here. Because there is one.

Of course, history is full of such examples.

Calling timing is hard, he may be right but it may not be this time round.

3327··on Altucher: NYC Is Dead Forever
This poor person is broken, clearly he has a rough time and is a defeatist.

I try to never hire defeatists into my companies and screen for them.

the pendelum will swing back and corporates will see that culture and office also matters.

3327··on [dead]
Lol this is terrible advice.

If you have the skills, grit, stamina, drive and access to $$$ then start one.

Risk reward doesn’t pay off for employees that are not the first 5.

I am CEO of UBER, i have been azzramming gig workers for years, now i hacked the system, don’t pay payroll tax or provide healthcare, and now i cannot afford it either because shareholders do not want to pay for it, so i need to create noise and find a bailout, and i think tax payers should do it since clearly we as a company are not willing/able.
