Another example of abuse nonchalantly posted as normal and something candidates should get accustomed to: https://www.spakhm.com/p/how-to-interview-engineers A lot of programmers reading this article seem to take it for "satire", when in fact it's pure evil. Comment on Hacker News that nails...

Not really, I didn't say anything related to contract size so they'd be still 100. Just allow "floating" strikes, so not fixed upfront but dynamically added on the way, in order to reflect the stock price.

I'm coming back with "more thought" as promised. I've implemented in code a way of generating strike prices around current spot price so they aren't expressed in a fixed and stupid unit (ex: "1"), which effectively doesn't mean anything for options. Instead it's expressed in "standard deviations...

There's another dimension to job interviews, the "black holes" ( Thanks for Submitting Your Résumé to This Black Hole : https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/25/opinion/sunday/thanks-for-submitting-your-resume-to-this-black-hole.html ). One observation of mine, there are regular job boards like...

"Start your own company" advice is exactly equivalent to "win the lottery". I'm surprised people still throw this in conversations. Here you are correct. Size matters :D If you have 100s of guys competing for a single seat, it's gonna be tough. Still it doesn't have to be "Jewish problems"...

Man you *badly* need to adjust your expectations. The sort of data you're looking for costs in the $50,000. Also, most probably you don't need that. You think that you need it but in fact you don't (otherwise you'd know better how much it costs and what's available at retail level).

I could take a few guesses without Googling for it. Stems from human propensity towards in-groupping (and rejecting the out-group). Jews have long since isolated themselves somewhat from the overall society by means of religion, circumcision and tending to marry along themselves. Any group...

When I was in high school, computer science discipline (top class in high school, top high school in the county), we were roughly 50%-50% boys vs girls split. Almost all boys in the class chose computer science as a career, of the about 15 girls though, only one went to work in IT and she...

"While I studied abroad in Kyrgyzstan and traveled through former Soviet Republics and Russia, the topic of Jews came up with regularity in conversations with people across generations and ethnicities. People often ask me if I am Jewish both at home and abroad. People say that I just “look...

Quite a romanced life ( romanced as in "a long fictitious tale of heroes and extraordinary or mysterious events, usually set in a distant time or place" and not as in "a love affair" - https://www.thefreedictionary.com/romanced ).

Guy is relatively famous, I'm saying that because I recognize his face (haven't Googled for it or so). If my memory serves, he worked at Google then quit and tried making money with trading, lost some $300k or so.

I agree you don't have to put up with the hoops (and abuse, see below). I did actually, till I realized both what fan27 said about not having to do it, and the darker nature of the whole process, see below. This happens in Europe(ean Union) too. Hiring managers sell to upper levels the idea...

"Jewish Problems": This is a special collection of problems that were given to select applicants during oral entrance exams to the math department of Moscow State University. These problems were designed to prevent Jews and other undesirables from getting a passing grade. Among problems that...

OK, I'm not sure if this topic belongs to "App Development" or "Chit Chat" thread. Pros for "App Development": it's software development specific, so I assume non-programmers (on chit-chat) will understand little of what it involves. Cons for "App Development": it's a generic rant related to...

Found this one by a guy who's also a member of this site:

OK, that makes sense. I should change the title to "Open sourcing proprietary trading software is stoopid" :)

Covers options, delta-hedging, pricing model customization... Ida know. Point is the customer (end user) doesn't care how stuff is built, only about results: profitable and reliable trading strategies. So those whose money I'm after won't download my source code and build it themselves then...

Well yeah, if you make 50% return then can afford to give up 10%, as long as that 50% is a long term average.
