I'm going to call this one out on being a hoax. The timeline and description you're giving just don't mesh. Almost everyone in the alum network is close to the current recruiters. I'll notify the relevant people to take a look into this, in case there's a need for further action. Whoever might...

I'm guessing the posters before me all cheated in one way or another - they got the answer then tried to reverse engineer it: The above approximation would give 6.5 hours => 3,900 miles to Rome, since the take-off and landing has to be applied to the connecting flight as well. It's unusual...

I don't know how you came about this statement. Your encounters with Thiel, besides from a measure of your spelling accuracy, clearly appear to be limited to the Wikipedia article on him.

This is a moot point. Paris Hilton probably has a higher net worth than 10,000 Grigori Perelmans.

@Samara: It's good to see quality posters on this board once in a while. I tried to quote your posts but it would look too verbose, though I assure you that I read through all of them. I don't understand why there are so many posts measuring the cost of college education as $10^5. You guys...

Heartily agreed. Well, I think Thiel is a seedy character and one of the reasons why I spend a lot of time with my alma mater and undergraduate organizations is to undo the damages that those like him have done to this society. Also, the 20-under-20 scholars (note: I give these kids the...

College undergrads can receive the award. I have to insist that this is an award, not a scholarship as it is peddled. Because I don't think it encourages 'scholarship': One of the 20-under-20 kids, spammed his/her entire university's email as a prank under legitimate email addresses. This was...

I'm not sure about other Ivies but the main attraction of an education at one of the top five is not the quality of instruction from the faculty, but what you learn from your peers, and the networking opportunities. Now especially in technical disciplines, where faculty positions are very...

@QuantWizard: Lol no, it's just a running gag in this forum now that this hftvol guy suddenly hijacks a thread and takes it completely off-topic, and talks about his passion for C#.

You're welcome. ;)

You have no idea how hilarious that lie is.

@gmst: This guy's hilarious. Last I know, 5-6 ticks per second = 1 tick per 180 milliseconds. Some "hft" indeed.

(1) You're pathetic if you can't even read directions: Otemachi Sta. (Mita Line) Exit D1 approx. 3 min. (2) Since you're so fond of googling, explain how do I have pictures, visibly from the same camera, of their office - and for bonus, out of UBS's office (which is next door at...

You are the truest moron. Everyone who has been there knows that Otemachi station is the best station to get there (and not Tokyo Station, by the way, at least because they were doing some shitload of construction not so long ago). http://www.marunouchi.com/marubiru/english/03_access/access.html

Wow, hard to believe this. Service is really what you pay for. The last time I had a BB problem in Tokyo, they sent someone down to fix it in practically 30 minutes. (Our firm was around Minato-ku and I've been to their office several times before and would always set aside 25 minutes for the...

Interest rates can be negative.

It's like trying to compete in F1 (HFT) with a homebrew of information from Google search results and a few books you picked up in the library on combustion engines, wind tunnel testing and viscous flow, a Ford-supplied engine base (IB, QuantHouse), and a small team of former AAA service...

@2rosy: Yes, you reminded me of two other problems with MATLAB. (1) Weak OO model. (2) Since 2012b, the GUI has gotten worse with a toolstrip that I can't understand. I have to say a few good things about MATLAB though. 3D plotting is one of them. I see many comments about the beauty of...

You know how much weight to give to someone's words when they cling on to some conspiracy theory of their own even after it has been dispelled by the original author. Do you honestly think I would expose my real name or create an account just to appease AFJ Garner? I'm not going to...

No? So you think hftvol is doing the right thing bringing up C# and stackoverflow popularity in a thread on C, while I made salient points about the advantages of C/C++, the use of CUDA, and tried to convince him to stay on topic? ^This. Also, you have no idea how ridiculously silly you...
