This is what happens at top consulting firms. Top 5% interview skills, especially as smoothing your way through a case study. But when they actually come consult for your business, it’s just not what you pay for given what you’ve been led to believe with those case studies.
Moved to this and have no need for anything else, especially since uv pip install whatever works with uv and is faster than pip (though I usually use uv add).
Money now is better than money later. If you have a secret that is guaranteed to make money, but only over the course of several years, you could just sell it now and get that profit today instead of waiting.
The person buying the secret will pay less than the long term profit as a fee for them giving you the money upfront now.
But if you have rights to resell the secret multiple times you will earn money far quicker, perhaps more than the secret’s long term value.
200%/yr starting from $10,000 => still needs a day job for a number of years.
This is why Wall Street is able to hire talented young traders, some of whom will develop profitable systems. Over time, some of them are able to amass enough savings and the track record necessary to get investors. But at t=0, somebody has to pay the rent.
If you can reliably generate 200% a year after fees/taxes/etc, you could just get a bunch of credit cards and use broker margin on top of that. It wouldn't surprise me if you could easily start with 200k at that point. Sure the first year would be rough, like grad student living but you would quickly be in the six figures.
Yes, _but_ (and that is a huge but), I remember some summers ago Erdogan was giving a speech in a village and instead of saying "we have faith in the markets" he said "we have faith in Allah" (not judging, just observing)(it was a time that Turkish Lira was doing very bad, inflation was ruining the country, Erdogan hired his son-in-law to be central banker (or something like that) and that very day Euro took a big dive because of the exposure of Turkish debt, etc etc. Trump (again, not judging, just observing) said "tariffs all around" and markets and currencies crashed a couple of months ago, then recovered, then dropped again, etc.
So, "big bets", especially wig margin, require small movements (or small bets with big movements). And getting in debt is never a good idea, because a tweet by Jerom, Kristine, Vladimir, Xi, Putin, Macron, can send you packing and with an extra $200k debt at 20% interest rate, from which th average person will never recover.
If you returned 200%/yr, you'd be running a fund an multiple times more successful than Renaissance's Medallion fund and would be able to attract outside capital and become a billionaire many times over in maybe five years.
Obviously 200% is not realistic. But, entertaining the claim, even if you can do 200% annually, you still have to earn money in the near term unless you have a pot of cash so you can both invest and live.
I can’t read the original other than what was quoted, but time series will never make you millions in stocks (or millions more than not using it) because time series uses past information to predict a time series, and much of stock pricing is already set via efficient market that those firms have already beat you to.
There’s good advice and there is “being an asshole.” Unfortunately, many HNers don’t read their emails as the recepient does and they sound very preachy and condescending instead of helpful unfortunately(or maybe it’s on purpose.)
Your last sentence is exactly what the OP is talking about.
My small daughter is mildly autistic. Very friendly but overly obsessed with the life of bugs and very concerned about human like tendencies in bugs. She personifies other objects but it seems hard to tell if that’s just a child thing or one of her symptoms.
Even with the bugs I’m always wondering if that’s a kid thing too, but the fact the other kids her age couldn’t care less about bugs makes me wonder if it’s autism related.
It's both. Child neurological development goes through a lot of mirroring the environments they observe in play, and mapping them onto stuffed animals, dolls, bugs, pets, toys, etc. There's an age where kids are developing interiority (children do not have an "inner voice" and do not develop it until 5-7, typically) and during that time, a lot of their play is them learning the rules and developing empathy (children do not have a concept of being able to put themselves in others shoes until age 3-7, typically).
Autistic children are often times very interested in learning rules and applying them in other settings. Autistic young women, especially, are navigating a complicated social environment that strongly encourages them to understand the rules of what it means to be a woman in society. Learning those rules and then saying, "Ok little (bugs|stuffed animals|toys), here's how things work" is both a thing kids do and a thing autistic kids do.
Couple that with special interests (dinosaurs, trains, bugs, bones, whatever), and you'll often see autistic kids getting WAY into one particular thing and then mapping the world they experience onto that thing.
One of the big benefits of polars over pandas is not dealing with the constant index nonsense. Can’t tell you all of the issues I had as a beginner with pandas trying to debug silly index errors.
