Yea sounds like it, I took the standard math track at my college and never had any problem with my upper level physics courses but most of my fellow students constantly complained their lack of math understanding was severely hurting their physics education.

I wonder if most physics curriculum's underestimate the amount of time it takes to truly become competent with calculus/DE tools. I may of only escaped because I loved math and did a lot of self study out of pleasure.

The name of that project is horribly relevant.

I'm sure some HF apps made a killing :)

Thanks!

I use this library for Q-Digest, it's worth taking a look at for an implementation reference. https://github.com/clearspring/stream-lib

I think the service aspect of *aaS businesses is literally half the game. Yes, you are delivering a product but the service aspect involves the monumental task of maintaining servers, maximizing uptime, being sensitive to security and anything else I've missed. If you want your product to have 100% uptime, that's the service you are performing.

This is a really awesome problem! I tackled this for my work at TempoDB and ended up going with the Q-Digest algorithm although I took a good look at CKMS. Really cool to see this implements merging streams, I remember reading that CKMS was more difficult to merge streams than Q-Digest.

If anyone is interested this was my write up for algorithm selection: http://blog.tempo-db.com/post/42318820124/estimating-percent...

Really? It looks like a portfolio with a greater than 1 beta. It's net net return over the period is about the same as the rest of the market.

Also 5 speakers a year is not enough events to be statistically significant.

2/10 would not invest

I can confirm this. I have used Angellist successfully. Both talking to several startups as well as getting hired.

I have always been fascinated with cellular automata. I think they serve a really good purpose in being a "fun" way to approach complexity and it's consequences and I spent more than a few hours playing with game of life programs especially when I was younger.

But I am still curious as to who has the time to engineer with them? Is it just "hobbyists" or do some academics derive useful work out from pursuing them?

I was thinking this too. Who spends this many hours with cellular automata to not only classify structures but engineer with them... Is it Mathematicians ? Why ?

Is this article not insight porn itself?

Also I can never get through anything with such broad generalizing statements.

I totally agree with this, Facebook solved purely a social problem and this makes them subject to being at an existential risk of no longer being socially relevant ("cool").

Unlike say, Google, who started their massive empire by solving a technical problem; search.

So judging from the the screenshots... Buy Apple? Yea that would of totally worked. Now for any other stocks, probably not. Also you can see it's less than the simple buy and hold.

Seriously I don't know why people even try trading in their free time.

Now, that being said, I'll take a bet against anyone who thinks they can find a profitable trading strategy using this product :D

Thank goodness too! Now I can afford that iphone 5!

Let's just take a quick look....

Never mind...

Yes. The fund I work for has a very successful track record and we take all PCA (on factors) with a huge grain of salt.

Also any strategy that has more than a 20% thesis alignment on PCA (on factors!) is most likely laughed at.

First off, This is Mark Cuban, who is in my top 3 list of intelligent public figures and influential enough to me that I definitely feel the need to defend him a bit here.

I think what he meant by "job skill" classes is more along the lines of codeacademy because this is a very direct skill that can be applied instantly to industry problems, whatever those might be.

The author feels that universities should promote these types of resources with some sort of incentive because what's working in the job market now is real applicable skills... something a Business Admin/Liberal Arts major might not have.

Having Javascript on your resume is looking attractive to more and more employers.

Also the premium on personal relationships with employees of a firm is decreasing in the sense that the best customer support relationship I can have is none at all, the product just works.

Cool read and all but I work at a hedge fund that is currently raising capital... It's nice that our parents always overestimate us

Thank you, This is how I felt too. I mean, cute story and all, but this sort of backwardation of technology and culture always makes me feel a little unnerved in a North Korea kind of way.

But hey, different parenting philosophies, I guess.

Disclosure: Not a parent.

Edit: Double Disclosure: Could see myself doing this if I were a parent

This is like asking a Human Rights group if they've heard of Ghandi

"Hang out my shingle and start my own accounting firm."

Yes, a unemployable just-graduated accounting major with no CPA designation and no network can just start his own accounting firm. Stop whining, it's SO easy!(?)

Your association of a dollar amount to morality is unnerving. If Happy Unicorn Widget Inc. upgrades it's production line speed, it experiences some increase in revenue and can thus even make a $100M a day gasp.

I work at a HFT firm and any serious suggestion of frontrunning would probably get you fired. The truth is the majority of HFT is liquidity providing or some form of arbitrage.
