@hanno_sauer The reality is, as a Police Officer you are forced to see the worst parts of society during their worst moments. Then that same society expects you to bounce back immediately and experience the same society that your friends, neighbors and family does. Citizens don’t do the same

When I talk to police officers privately, they almost always say the same thing: "you have no idea what's going on out there in the real world". To which I reply: I think the opposite is true. *You* have no idea what's going on out there, because you have self-selected into a

A Cy Young Award Winner who was falsely accused and proven innocent of all charges in a court of law can’t get a contract but Marcel Ozuna can choke his wife with a cast then immediately get a DUI and play anywhere. Make it make sense.

This umpire was calling a 9U baseball game. A player came up to bat and hit a home run. What happened next is anyone’s guess. Most are saying the umpire blew up after he lost his mind and robbed a 9 year old of a home run. What do you think the call should be? Do you think k he blew it big time or do you agree with the call?

If taxes were fair: You earn $100,000 per year and pay $30,000 in tax. Your neighbor earns $1,000,000 and pays $300,000 in tax. Your neighbor is paying 10X more than you. If taxes were fair, you should both pay $30,000, since you both receive the same government services.

Just wanted to highlight how ridiculous the 1st inning of Kerry Wood’s 20K masterpiece was: - 100mph to the umps face to start the game - What HoFer Craig Biggio called his most embarrassing swing of his career - Strikes out NL batting leader Derek Bell on possibly the nastiest, definition of fall-off-the-table, curveball you’ve ever seen - Strikes out HoFer and one of the greatest fastball hitters…on three fastballs. -Just absolutely disgusting stuff - Kerry Wood Forever

Basically, the outcome of the war with Iran has been 1) Hormuz remains closed 2) The economy (stock market) is doing fine I didn't see anyone predicting this. People critical of Trump said Hormuz would stay closed and it would be a disaster. His defenders also assumed he needed to open it. Is the lesson just that markets are much more resilient than we think, and the AI boom is so powerful we can withstand anything?

Hypothetical trade scenario: Yankees get: Juan Soto Mets get: Carlos Rodon, Gerritt Cole, Giancarlo Stanton, and Paul Goldschmidt This gives the Mets two good veteran SP’s, a DH who can perform well in the playoffs, and a real first baseman.

Had a Jane Street interview in 2013 that still bothers me. It was my 6th round. Final interview. The guy walks in carrying no laptop, no notebook, just a cold brew and what I later realized was a single IKEA tea candle. He writes on the whiteboard: food: $200 rent: $800 utilities: $150 candles: $3,600 family: dying Then he turns around and says, “Optimize.” I laughed because I thought it was a culture-fit bit. He did not laugh. So I said, “Well, obviously you spend less on candles.” He says, “Assume candles are non-discretionary.” Okay. I start building a model. Basic constraint satisfaction. Family survival as a soft penalty. Candles as a state variable. Maybe there’s an arbitrage where you buy wholesale paraffin and convert the $3,600 line item into inventory. He stops me. “You’re thinking like a consultant.” That’s when I knew I was in trouble. He says, “Give me a bid-ask on family dying.” I say, “What?” He says, “You’re long candles, short family. Where do you make markets?” I try to recover. I say the real issue is liquidity: rent and utilities are fixed, food is elastic, candles are emotionally inelastic. Therefore the optimal strategy is to securitize future candle enjoyment and borrow against it. He nods for the first time. Then he asks, “What time do you sell the candles?” I say, “Whenever the market is liquid?” He says, “Be more specific.” I say, “Uh… 10 a.m. Eastern?” For the first time, he smiles. He goes, “Every day?” I say, “Every day.” He says, “In size?” I say, “In size.” He says, “And what do we call that?” I say, “Market manipulation?” The room gets very quiet. He looks disappointed and writes something down. “No. We call it providing liquidity to candle ETFs during the U.S. cash open.” I try to save it. “Right. Of course. The family isn’t dying because we underfunded them. They’re just experiencing temporary price discovery.” He nods again. Then he points back at the board. I had missed it. The utility bill was $150, but candles provide light. You can zero out utilities. I update the budget: food: $200 rent: $800 utilities: $0 candles: $3,750 family: still dying, but now in a more capital-efficient way He says, “How confident are you?” I say, “0.95.” He smiles and circles candles. “0.95 huh?” Then he asks me to estimate how many leveraged longs get liquidated if we dump $3,750 of candles at 10:00:01 every morning for 90 consecutive trading days. Needless to say I did not get the offer.

Jane Street made ~$40B in 2025 with 3,500 employees, a ~2x from the year before. At ~65-70% profit margin, that's $8M profit / employee, the highest for a 1000+ ppl company. High-frequency trading continues to be the most efficient money making engine. I want to share an old story about my Jane Street interview in 2014. Jane Street was known for hiring a lot of math, physics and CS olympiad winners from top universities and putting them through many rounds - including, for trading roles, a gauntlet of mental math. It was my 6th interview and my final round and I recall being asked "What is the next day after today in DD/MM/YYYY where all the digits are unique?" They'd toy with you and say "You can use a pencil and paper, if you want" but you knew that was an instant no. Painstakingly and as quickly as I could, I came to an answer. "How confident are you that this is correct on a 0-1 probability scale?" the interviewer said. "0.95", I blurted out, not fully knowing how to answer that. "Are you sure?" After thinking harder for a few more seconds, I realized I could've flipped the digits around to get a closer date. I gave the interviewer my answer. It was correct. "0.95 huh?" he chuckled. That's when I knew I failed. Note: fwiw, other companies that come close in efficiency are - Tether ($90M+ profit/emp) - Hyperliquid ($80M+ profit/emp) and on revenue: - Valve ($50M/emp) - OnlyFans ($37M/emp) - Craigslist ($14M/emp) - Anthropic ($12M/emp, run rate) - OpenAI ($8M/emp, run rate) For comparison, Nvidia is very efficient at scale and is $4.4M/emp.

We were there front and center. That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.
