daneyh··on Solving Tech Addiction Is an Underappreciated Market Opportunity
Wow, really succinct comment and you seemed to sum up a lot of what i'm feeling re: this whole thing.
daneyh··on Ask HN: What podcasts do you listen to regularly?
Yes!

Out of the more recent episodes 201-David Hohme & 206-Modd were top quality.

If you enjoy Anjunadeep then I think you will also like 'When We Dip' , Canopy Sounds and Magician on Duty podcasts. They really go well with the anjunadeep style although I would say is more laid back then Anjunadeep (which has an at times housier/trancier vibe).

daneyh··on ANZ, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup face 'criminal cartel' charges
I think the headline blows things out of proportion. The ECM Syndicate banks overstated demand for a share sale, by the house bid....that the joint lead managers would've been on the hook for anyway (if the demand wasn't there, they had an underwriting backstop). Yes they should've stated the booksizes included the joint lead manager interest but it isn't the as bad as the article and respective comments on here make out.

Slap on the wrist at worst i'd say.

daneyh··on Bitcoin Sees Wall Street Warm to Trading Virtual Currency
I understand what you're trying to say but this logic would only work if we knew that swiss bank operations 'based in switzerland' clear more money than bitcoin.

Credit suisse/UBS main operations are in London.

daneyh··on The Declining Value of a CS Master's Degree (2013)
so you should've definitely taken harder classes then.
daneyh··on Guided meditation for beginners
I used this and got upto the 30min sessions. After a while Andys voice becomes counterproductive....but definitely good to get into it.
daneyh··on Libor: the bankers who fixed the world’s most important number
Former broker.

We know, but it is important function of a broker not to tell.

daneyh··on Paris Eyes Luring 20K Bankers from London Amid Brexit Rupture
> Many international banks have similar numbers of staff in Paris as in London.

Wrong. With the exception of the French banks Natixis, BNP Parbias and Societe Generale...Investment banks have far greater staff in London vs Paris.

German workers council is incredibly restrictive on the hire-fire model that is the bread and butter of most mid-tier-BB IBs.
daneyh··on New NIST password guidelines: don't require character types or rotation

daneyh··on How the Singapore Circle Line rogue train was caught with data
code snippets not displaying?

EDIT: Great article and good problem solving skills

daneyh··on Quorum – JP Morgan’s permissioned implementation of Ethereum
I don't think what you're saying here is correct. 'fake' transaction problem between counterparties aren't an issue and as I replied to your comment on the 1-5day settlement period in the GS r3 thread

>> It takes some financial assets 3-5 days to settle

That 1-5 days to settle isn't due to slow and disconnected systems though, which is what many looking from a tech perspective believe. Most financial transactions are matched in settlement systems the same day they are traded. The 3-5 days is for prefunding of underlying accounts, tear ups and other asset class idiosyncratic reasons.
