1. Research is part of the pedagogy. Getting involved in a research lab as an undergraduate is a great way to land in the top 5-10 percentile.

5-10 percentile in what? Grades? Amount of papers?
Grades generally don't speak to someone's practical ability on whatever job they choose after college. For example, one's ability to learn stoichiometry in a time-constrained environment hardly implies they'll be a great chemist.

Papers also come cheap and there are already enough out there of insignificant value or dubious quality (a good indicator might be the journal/conferences most undergraduate papers are submitted and accepted to).

As others have said, just because a teacher is skilled doesn't mean they are skilled at teaching. To your second point, I've once had professors who had significant achievements on their resume not be able to explain the basics of their field in a coherent way. In a case like that, those professors are equivalent to lecturers who have 0 days of "work experience" (which seems like a weird term to use for what I read from your comment as "research")

That is an image facing the mirror whose surface the camera can't see and it correctly shows reflections.

ELI5: How do you have polymorphism without inheritance? That is, if I have a Foo with a virtual function f(), and I have Bar and Baz that inherit from Foo and have their own implementations of f(), then I have polymorphism.

> And yet, the current mathematics relies heavily on the ZFC set theory. Why is that ? (Is that assumption even correct ?)

Not really. Most working mathematics is done without any particular foundational context (in fact, it's probably done in naive set theory). If you asked a mathematician, they'd tell you they were using ZFC, but only because everyone does; in practice they don't know or care what foundations they're working with.

> From what I've learned so far, the set theory suffers from Russel's Paradox[0] (does the set of all sets that does not contain itself, contains itself ?). That's what motivated the formalization of Type Theory and the invention of Type Systems in programming languages.

Naive set theory suffers from that paradox. ZFC is a minimal "patch" that avoids it (through the rather ugly hack of an axiom schema).

It shouldn't surprise any programmer that most people working in the field would rather use a bodge that lets them use all their existing theorems and avoid having to learn anything new, rather than a new foundational paradigm.

People who care deeply about foundations are working on things like HoTT. But it's just not that important to day-to-day working mathematicians.

The money quotes:

Broadly speaking, and as more fully discussed below, algorithmic trading in the equities and to a lesser extent—in the debt market, has improved many measures of market quality and liquidity provision during normal market conditions, though studies have also shown that some types of algorithmic trading may exacerbate periods of unusual market stress or volatility. Advances in technology and communications have enabled many market participants to more efficiently provide liquidity, more efficiently access market liquidity, implement new trading services, and more effectively manage risk across a range of
markets.

Today, algorithms address many of the problems and decisions that have long been central to the business of trading. What instrument(s) should be invested in or traded? What price should be bid or offered? What order size is optimal? What should be the response to a request for a quotation? What risk will be taken on by facilitating a trade? How does that risk change with the size of the trade? Is the risk of a trade appropriate to a firm’s available capital? What is the relationship between the price of different but related securities or financial products? To what market should an order be sent? Is it more effective to provide liquidity or demand liquidity? Should an order be displayed or non-displayed? To which broker should an order be sent? When should an order be submitted to a trading center?

Once I copied a lone line of commands to run, from a code block on a website (a tutorial article). When I pasted it in the terminal, it contained a bunch of garbage like copyright, unrelated text, and new lines.

Thankfully it didn't run anything serious, but ever since then, I've been careful to paste things into an editor to make sure that the browser copied the exact text that I selected. I understand there are specific needs to programmatically copy things to the clipboard, but I'd consider it a risk/vulnerability open to abuse.

>Making high density living bearable and even desirable that's the art we need

I think a lot of this could be solved with a couple of improvements to building codes:

1) require far stronger noise dampening, equivalent to that of detached homes. That is, regular day-to-day life should not register at all - including e.g. watching a movie with the sound system turned up (including bass). There should also be almost no tolerance for vertically travelling noise, you should be able to stomp around or drag furniture without disturbing your downstairs neighbour.

2) Force arrangement of shared interior walls such that your bedroom will never be adjacent to the neighbours living room, so that if noise does leak through it should not be able to disturb anyone's sleep. This should also affect the routing of water pipes and such, so that water flow and pipe knocking does not intrude.

3) The above points should be enforced by random sample testing of some proportion (somewhere in the range of 15-30%) of the buildings apartments before it is certified for occupancy. As in, testers would randomly select two adjacent apartments, set up loud music in one and measure the noise bleed-through in the other to see if it's within tolerances.

Basically, there will always be a subset of the population of a high density building who are selfish jackasses. Construction should be changed to reflect the fact that people are unreasonable and compensate for it, instead of turning it into an externality e.g. making everyone install carpets in their apartments to reduce floor noise. I don't want to be aware of my neighbours existence outside of seeing them in shared hallways.
Yes we do, but it's only a hypothesis. This was part of my PhD dissertation and one of my committee members is the world's expert on this topic. His name is Gerald (Jerry) Dickens. We believe this happened approximately 55 million years ago during an event called the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), an extreme global warming event. I've published a couple papers on this topic.

The way this works is, we run a computer model and try to come up with a scenario which matches the observations from that time period the best. And seems like the extreme warning that happened during the PETM was likely due to methane hydrate dissociation. I can link a few scientific papers if anyone is interested.

The problem is, if you remove the parts the experts tell beginners to avoid, then those parts are gone even when those beginners have become experts.

My hypothesis is that the whole work from home will fizzle out pretty quickly for most people, with the exception of a few tech companies.

Anecdotally, my company did a survey (10k+ employees) and the vast majority didn't want full-time work from home in perpetuity.

I think it works well for some industries and functions, but it's an absolute cluster for others. Add in the inevitable "COL adjustment" for people who live in LCOL areas, it will be a few percentage of employees who make a permanent change.

Once Covid is a thing of the past, we'll see the vast majority of people return to work in an office - likely with a lot more "work from home" flexibility, but still an expectation that they are in the office for some percentage of their work week.

Just my 2 cents. I could be entirely wrong.
There's also the caveat: "However, there is some evidence, mostly from the Flash Crash, that in certain instances algorithmic trading and HFTs may exacerbate price movements during periods of high volatility or market stress."

Volatile volitility reduction
The disadvantage of this arrangement, which may not be obvious until you try it, is the delay in switching time. You have to wait for the monitor to re-sync on the new signal and for the USB to enumerate on the new host. I guess most people can tolerate this? For me that delay is intolerable. Quality KVMs (ConnectPRO is the one I remember off the top of my head) maintain both connections at all times and switching is instantaneous.
Anecdotally amongst lawyers, perhaps, but I've heard tale by many that this is largely accomplished by choosing to arrest someone just a few minutes before their shift ends, which requires them to get overtime for the hours of paperwork involved.

> rather than a gradual acquisition of actual maturity

I don't think that's for the reasons you outlined, but rather because adolescents are treated like children right up until they've turned 18 and finished high school.

They go from basically having the rights and responsibilities of a child, to those of an adult, rather than a gradual growth of those rights and responsibilities as they mature.

Also, is it not common for teenagers to have jobs any more? I got my first job when I was 15, and haven't been unemployed for longer than a month since (I'm in my late 20s now).

Curiously, the commodities markets have always adjusted tick sizes for different contracts so that the dollar value is reasonably consistent (~10 dollars). These are products for which the contract size (in dollars) varies wildly and the quotes are all over the place (anywhere from 9 decimal points to no decimal points).

It makes writing your algos confusing, esp when you start doing inter-commodity spreads, but the business case is so obvious, it really makes you wonder why the equities markets haven't done more.
