Anyone have hard numbers on if/by how much quants outperform old fashioned techniques like flags and finding stocks that tend to go the opposite direction from the one you're interested in? I don't know the terminology for all this but I know there are limits due to uncertainty so even the best algorithms may not do much better that someone guessing. Do quants do 10% better, 2x better, 10x better?

My Dad and I had a relatively lucky streak where we doubled our money day trading Apple on margin after the September 29, 2000 dot bomb:

http://money.cnn.com/2000/09/29/markets/techwrap/

He saved quite a bit of money by being able to trade 1000 shares each time. Since the stock swung +/- 2% a couple of days a week it was pretty easy to make 2% most days, 5% on a good day. It was like a casino where the odds were 2% in your favor, with a ratchet that just sold when it was about to go down. Then you just guess the shape of the day’s heartbeat. He wouldn't even let me sell short because he felt it was unethical, so we only gained half what we could have which was agonizing to endure. I pleaded for him to get out because he was up a couple years of my wage at the time and my gut was screaming at me that something wasn't right. Then we lost all the gains the day 9/11 happened. We sold a few weeks later and ended up breaking even. Then Apple went to 500 over the next couple years with splits thrown in to boot.

I wanted to try day trading myself but they changed the law in 2001 so you had to have $25,000 to trade on margin, so only the wealthy could get twice the gains:

I personally don’t buy any of the standard advice about risk because it’s more risky to keep your money in a bank and only get a couple percent a year. I felt so miserable about the whole experience that I worked a bunch of dead end jobs and ran up my credit cards over the next several years. It’s heartbreaking to know how hard typical folks in the world work to make $100 a day when day trading $50,000 can easily earn $1000. But those folks don’t have $50,000 so are locked out. I guess in my heart it felt like stealing, or at the very least finding yourself in the universe where you won and thinking you somehow earned your survivor bias. So I don’t do it anymore, and I’m even hesitant to invest because politics are so volatile right now. Sorry to digress, I should have stopped at the first paragraph.

Kotlin is such a small thing for Oracle or Google. None of them will care much about it. Kotin in Android land works only on JVM like DalvikVM thing which was part of dispute between Oracle and Google. Other API copyright dispute will also remain same because Google has not written grounds up new APIs in Kotlin for Android and planning to move everyone to that.

I guess at this point many just do not understand the enormity of Java in industry and Android in particular. Kotlin is welcome addition to Android but thinking it can challenge Java is like Nerf toys can challenge Nuclear powers.
There is no single Java VM. There's a specification with a significant number of different implementations, and the OpenJDK-based one is far from the only one in use today.

Also code is still compiled to the same format that the Dalvik VM consumed. ART is just a different system for getting from Java bytecode to something executable.
It's convoent to read messages I guess. They do seem more like a fad item. Your phone can track your steps supposedly so I'm not quite sure why the watch has that much of an advantage.

See my other comment about Java 6 on Android. Basically Oracle killed Apache Harmony which was what Android was based on. Google is now running Oracle OpenJDK which is why new features are available.

Honestly though, I think this is really more a result of the Android SDK team being drug kicking and screaming by the competition. Solutions like React Native, Kotlin, Xamarin, RetroLambda, and of course Kotlin were starting to become very viable alternatives to the official SDK.
What makes you think our rule would be competent. I think everyone would end up poorer for it
There is definitely pressure from the community to use something other than java to develop Android apps. Add on the pressure from Apple with Swift/iOS it only makes sense that google would invest in ways to make app development easier and faster.
You can't just take the first plane to Spain and say, "please treat my cancer for free because my country refuses to spend any money on me". This do not work like this.

Spain has health agreements with many countries concerning its citizens. Sometimes they are symmetric, other not so. If Spain will be billed if a Spaniard needs to use the public health care system in the country X, then the country X will be billed in return also if one of their citizens needs to receive public health care in Spain. As foreigner turist either your country or your insurance will pay for you, but you are guaranteed to be treated by fine physicians if you really need it.

You could need a health insurance if you are a retired citizen of other country living as expat in Spain but that never worked there, (therefore never contributed to support the public health-care system).
Why is it terrifying? For the first time in history (aside from plagues and disasters) the wealth accumulated by the previous generation will be divided by fewer descendants.
Modularizing the JVM has many benefits. Unfortunately, as part of that process they ended up with a much bigger scope than we had all anticipated. Enforcing a new [mandatory] module system for all third-party code - with significant compatibility concerns and very few benefits is another.

Module systems sound great in theory. But we already have a bunch of existing ones, some simple and ad-hoc (like how we package things into JARs, publish to Maven Central or another artifact repository and load using regular old classloaders) and some are very formal and complex (OSGi or any of the big J2EE Application Servers).
I meant blackholing as a technique. It can be either a blacklist or a whitelist, and yeah... whitelist seems more secure here
There's OSGi which does many things similar to jigsaw without the need to change anything in the runtime.

67 seems a tad high, no? Babyboomers are generally considered to be those born from 1946-1964. If we assume an even distribution of people born through those years, the average would be 62. However, births per year were higher towards the end of the boom, so in fact I would expect the average age to be even lower.
Overall rule of everything in life: nothing is worth it if it stress you out.

Sometimes Linux may not be an answer, but with routers it. Buy a router, put LEDE on it, and block the domains.

Seems to be about the same as Java. The main source of slowness when compiling is, as always, Gradle and not the compilation itself. Kotlin doesn't fix that.
Jigsaw was started by Sun before Oracle even involved in Java. I know because supporting Jigsaw was on my radar - in 2008. I don't know where you are getting this conspiracy theory that Jigsaw is sinister move by Oracle. It's going to solve some of the worst aspects of the JVM (startup time, distribution). The reason it has taken so long is because it is technically difficult and there was a 2-3 year stall in JVM progress after Oracle's acquisition of Sun.

+1 for Toronto, Canada. Life is very stressful and free time is very limited. Combined that with a culture that is spend-all and very selfish (me time), voila - you come across a society where people are willing to stay single and not have kids (or have a max of 2 kids).
I have an ebike with relatively high power and a large battery because I live in the mountains with steep hills. My regular bike is pretty much useless near home. But my ebike has made me a cyclist again, and the only word to describe it is "joy." If you get a mid-drive ebike with at least 750 watts of power, you'll have no problem on San Francisco hills. I almost wish I lived in SF (almost) just to ride this bike there.
Copyright that makes sense. That's fair
They can make proprietary distributions of JVM right away. I don't see how jigsaw can change it. As far as I understand, copyright for JVM belongs to Oracle, and they can distribute it with whatever license they want without any problem.

I've developed a sort of 'core technology' that can be used to build out what can hopefully become another option in the social media arena. It's open source. It's supports a fully threaded 'tree' of content, rather than just a linear stream like Facebook and Twitter. You create SubNodes, rather than 'tweets' for example. Technology stack is Java, TypeScript, Google Polymer, Jackrabbit JCR, MongoDb, SpringBoot.

No, but I believe you should be able to live where you can find work. I'm frightened about getting a job in CA due to the housing market.
The key thing is that on mobile you are stuck with what the platform owners allow. On Android that's pretty much the JVM. You can get away with some things in native code (C, C++, now Go?), but most of the Android framework lives in the Java layer. Kotlin is pretty much your only option other than Java that works. The other JVM languages (Clojure, Scala, Groovy, etc) are quite a bit heavier and that's still an issue on mobile.
Everyone can try to do it, but you need to spend the time and educate yourself like in any other profession or hobby and the first step is to go to eBay and search for historical stock market data, you can buy 20 years of data for less than $100 and you can test all trading ideas for free and without losing a single penny...the barrier for entry is very low, some Python knowledge + Linux machine and the data and off you go...
I have a Moto360v2 which I must have used a month or so. Now it just sits there in the charger. If you are looking for fitness tracking, might as well buy a Fitbit. For other notifications and the like, might as well use the phone. There's only so much you can display on that tiny screen. I haven't tried the Apple Watch. That may be better. Personally, I think it's a fad.
I switched about 10 years ago. Before that I was windows 100% on desktop. I had similar issues at first but gradually became pretty comfortable with Ubuntu and Linux in general. Some things are more of a pain and may always be in Linux but overall the experience for me has been that things have been getting easier with time. I think that for better or worse as more applications move to the web the change will be easier and easier. What are some examples of things that are hurting your productivity?

Canonical did some stuff that upset a lot of people with sending search results through Amazon but that could be opted out of much easier than all this windows 10 stuff. I have also read that they don't contribute to the kernel as much as some think they ought to. And they have a tendency to fiddle with their UIs endlessly (I use xubuntu which is based on XFCE and avoids a lot that bikeshed renovation). Are there other reasons not to trust canonical?

I don't mean to pry with either question just generally curious.
It isn't a "complex nuanced issue", talking about the depletion of some non-existent entity (creative energies? srsly?) is at best a failure of self-expression and at worst spiritual nonsense.

I guess people get defensive because of this very frustration of being wrong and unable to correct themselves at the same time.

It's not really terrifying for the rest of the world, but Japan has a huge social welfare program[0] and the world's second highest life expectancy[1], which means this generation will be tasked with providing for an aging population much larger than they are.

Anyone can lock you out of Instagram forever by logging in as you incorrectly
Discovered this by accident, and proceeded to get locked out of my Instagram account forever. There's zero recourse for support.

I got my password wrong a few times. Forgot I had changed it. It locked me out and asked for a verification/security code which they would email to me.. except they didn't.

The support FAQ said to try resetting my password, it let me, but then still wouldn't let me log in without the security code. I hit resend dozens of times over a week, never got one (but I DID get the password reset and other emails, so it's not my email end).

Some quick googling shows this has been the case for YEARS. Quora, google support, Instagram "support" (a Facebook page that ignores all messages) all have threads of people asking/begging Instagram to fix this going back for multiple years.

So basically.. anyone can go and purposely login wrong to another account a few times, and lock them out forever!

Instagram used to have a process for hacked accounts and a process for contacting them.. all of that has been replaced with a FAQ on Facebook.com that basically says "Having login issues? Reset your password!" and that's it. It doesn't even mention "security code" anywhere if you search.

More and more companies are going the Google route for support. If it's not in their FAQ, then post to a public support forum where fanboys will echo the exact same FAQ answers back at you (with a free dose of attitude added) and if your issue falls outside the FAQ, too bad, make a new account and lose all your (potentially YEARS of) contribution to that platform.

What's the point of using/contributing to ANY Google/Facebook platform when there's zero support, and you can lose EVERYTHING when you trigger some automated system with zero human oversight?

Is Facebook abandoning Instagram? Or are they really this arrogant?
Check out Litho, it's built around the principles of declarative APIs and one way data flow with immutable props. Definitely taking inspiration from React.
I think there should be a word for the particular kind of bikeshedding that happens when the first task undertaken is to make a name and logo, which is, at the start of a project, literally the least important thing.

I think it's some kind of signifier that a project is doomed when logo-making happens so early; maybe it's because it means that no one wants (or doesn't know how) to do actual work. I've seen it happen multiple times.
I have very mixed feelings about riding bikes in cities. The health benefits can be completely negated (or worse) depending on the air quality around where you are riding. There are certainly reasons to ride other than that -- speed, freedom, etc. Electric bikes are good in that you can get to your destination faster than a regular bike, reducing exposure to the mentioned issues. There are few downsides to going electric -- hardly cheating.

So, so many things. The world is not as unified as it needs to be for this to be a good thing. Population decline is Japan is a) too small to ease overall resource burden on the world, b) increasing resource burden on Japan itself,
c) Japan's situation to enjoy/deal with, the rest of the world is hardly going to reward it for it. Trying to maintain a functioning economy is going to get harder with a shrinking able-bodied workforce in the near future, I would not want to be responsible for addressing that.

If and when the Japanese economy collapses in the current world immigration climate, people will have little recourse too -- with their language and culture isolation so far, they'll just be stuck in their crumbling economy.

One of the reasonable solutions is to increase worker mobility, and encourage economic contributors to migrate to and operate in Japan, and not worry so much about indigenous population decline. But this is a major big cultural, economic and social change to embrace, which is starting to get harder to adopt in today's increasingly isolationist rhetoric.
There is a trio of neuro-degenerative diseases which are horrible and have no known cure or even treatment to make the symptoms manageable. The worst part is that the person who gets them suffers as much, if not more, than the people they know and they get worse over time. Huntington's, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Eh, Japan will get rich showing/selling the next first world countries in line how to provide for their elders with automation.

Good for Japan because of xenophobia towards immigrants (and that cultural phenomenon is definitely not changing anytime soon), good for the US because we're broke and can't afford to keep extracting more for entitlements because we didn't save enough for it and kicked the can.

Lesson — if you are going to get a co-founder, actually choose one for the right reasons. Avoid friends/family if possible.

But... but... how was he even supposed to contribute and pull his weight without any crucial competency in an area that directly impacts the product's success? The issue, here, is not that he was a friend/family. He was simply not useful.
This is why we need more anti-aging and longevity research. Reproduction is obsolete.
Haha, awesome thought that you've brought up here.

I bet we will start to see title inflation as a result as well- that is to say, it is not that more highly skilled quants will be hired, but rather run-of-the-mill employees will be branded and marketed as "quants"

I've noticed this drift everywhere:

-Sales people are now "product evangelists" or "product specialists"

-Operations employees who do accounts payable or receivable are now "Finance Analysts" (seriously)

-HR are now "Human Capital Analysts"

-And virtually everyone is now "Senior" or "Lead" or even "Manager" (of some process, not of necessarily employees)

So, I guess we shouldn't be surprised when someone fresh out of college who more or less guesses on stock picks with the firm's money and some fancy charts are now hailed as "HIGHLY SKILLED QUANTITATIVE ANALYSTS"
Wikipedia suggests it's very expensive, but the molecule looks simple enough. I imagine there would be a prominent gray-market of nootraceuticals in no time.

I officially gave up on Fitbit once and for all when my third one (at this point a Fitbit Charge HR2) suffered the classic band tearing away from the bit. No more.

Switched over to the Galaxy Gear S2; I like the software better, I like the ability to choose different watch faces, I like the apps, and I love being able to detach the band at will. I have two bands now, one's my "okay to get sweaty/dirty band" and the other is my "wearing to work" band.
Have you ever had brake fade in a car? It's like that, but inside your mind. Everything starts feeling mushy and mental processes don't get the results they used to.
I may be wrong, and someone will point it out if I am, but I believe a lot of Japan is actually not very population dense. Tokyo, obviously, and other large cities, but the countryside is practically and literally dying out. There is still plenty of room, it's just that no one wants to live there.

Even if it were the case that "this planet has way too many humans on it," which is debatable, why is that Japan's problem if there aren't even "way too many people" in Japan?
