The society that fails to separate its ruling elite from its merchants will have its culture ruled by an emergent paperclip maximizing apparatus, devoid of life, and its technology & engineering run by politicians.

@CRUDEOIL231 If heavy mining was underway during the last two weeks, wouldn’t there be a third option of no one actually wanting to risk crossing the strait? How are we sure are we even of the validity of Trump’s claims about other countries’ ships wanting to cross and begging for an escort?

It looks like Iran is left with only two choices: sit back and watch the US Navy escort ships through the strait, losing all their leverage, or respond militarily to protect it. The former would gut their bargaining power, while the latter gives the US and Israel the perfect excuse to restart hostile military operations. We all know what Iran is going to choose. The moment their speedboats fire a shot, US and the IDF will drop the missiles. Tbh i think Washington played this one pretty smart. They’ve set the bait perfectly. #oott #iran

Trump post on Iran/shipping Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly, and violently, for all to see, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are locked up in the Strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do with — They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders! For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business. Again, these are Ships from areas of the World that are not in any way involved with that which is currently taking place in the Middle East. I have told my Representatives to inform them that we will use best efforts to get their Ships and Crews safely out of the Strait. In all cases, they said they will not be returning until the area becomes safe for navigation, and everything else. This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time. I am fully aware that my Representatives are having very positive discussions with the Country of Iran, and that these discussions could lead to something very positive for all. The Ship movement is merely meant to free up people, companies, and Countries that have done absolutely nothing wrong — They are victims of circumstance. This is a Humanitarian gesture on behalf of the United States, Middle Eastern Countries but, in particular, the Country of Iran. Many of these Ships are running low on food, and everything else necessary for largescale crews to stay on board in a healthy and sanitary manner. I think it would go a long way in showing Goodwill on behalf of all of those who have been fighting so strenuously over the last number of months. If, in any way, this Humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will, unfortunately, have to be dealt with forcefully. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

At my age, my father was making money doing questionable import business deals in the wreckage of the Soviet Union. At my age, my grandfather had already lost both his parents and was serving in the Soviet army. I, am terribly worried about my Python group project and whether or not the nth y2k hinge girlie will reciprocate my desires

@DeepDishEnjoyer Ok, but I’m ACTUALLY funny with it. x.com/curlystark/sta…

Never thought the day would come when I’d share my Jane Street interview story in public. I thought I’d save it for the kids. Oh, well… I was “called in” for a “meeting” in the dead of night, dragged out from my run-down Eastern European apartment and onto a C-130 carrier by a dozen masked goons, my head still thumping from the Moldovan hooker’s cocaine I had taken several hours prior. I don’t even remember sending out a résumé; I only vaguely recall one of my IMO pals, Vítězslav, telling me about Jane during one of our training camps the same year I won gold… We landed several klicks north of Juba, near the Nile coastline. They hauled my ass into a makeshift paramilitary base consisting of old canvas tents, a dodgy barbed-wire fence, and a couple of military trucks guarding the perimeter. The place was riddled with innumerable, unidentifiable wooden crates. One of the bigger tents in the back of the compound was emitting a low-frequency humming noise that resonated with the thumping pain of my coke comedown. “Sounds like a fucking data center,” I jokingly hissed through my clenched teeth. Upon entering what I surmised was the command center, they handed me off to this young, reserved fellow known as Lieutenant Wolf (a furry). He was lanky, adolescent-like, and Asian. They were all Asian. Some were sitting in front of several monitors, deep into messy time series; others gathered around a blackboard covered in anime pinups and bizarro measure-theory mumbo jumbo. A third group was doing heroin. Wolf called these kids quant grunts. Qunts for short. I was told to wait for my interviewer—Strat Sergeant Robert something, some WOP name I don’t remember to this day. I started fraternizing with the other recruits. We were shooting the shit, smoked some gummy-flavored whatever as they taught me about fill-or-kill. “Y’all know ’bout fillin’ or killin’?” The whole tent went dead silent. It was him - the Strat Sergeant. He was leaning against the tent entrance, half-naked, with only a black fedora covering his thin, long hair that stuck to his camo pant suspenders. Bottle of Jack in hand. He pulled me aside. “I heard your dad was chief production engineer at the Arsenal weapons plant in Bulgaria?” “Affirmative,” I nodded. A mischievous smile enlivened his otherwise statuesque face. “There’s a lot of money to be made in the Kalashnikov-to-crude-oil spread—beaucoup movement in the market at the moment,” he chuckled. “Seven million dollars of high-strength Soviet steel can buy you a lifetime supply of around 200 kbpd of discounted crude.” I laughed nervously in agreement. “Bob” stared silently into the distance for an uncomfortable amount of time afterward. Something visibly annoyed him. He suddenly snapped out of it and set his sights on me. “Well,” he grinned again, “are you ready for the speed round of the interview?” “Arithmetic?” I tensed up. “No,” he countered. “Field strip.” He threw an AK-47 at me, which I only then noticed he had been brandishing, carefully hidden behind his back. “Tomorrow, I’m going to teach you how we fill AND kill.” Didn’t make it to the final round.

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.

Мен откровено ме забавлява факта, че ще разочарова всички дето се юрнаха да гласуват за него: - копейките, защото остава еврото, ЕС и НАТО; - борците с режима “Борисов-Пеевски”, когато със 130 депутата не им свали нито охраната, нито разбие модела; - “стабилното управление”, когато разбрат че тоя селски чорап няма капацитета и кадровият състав да управлява държавата в условия на нестабилен световен ред и криза. Просто…епично. Надявам се бързо да изгори, а не да де влачи като Бойко - 15 години.

Както е тръгнало, дали гласувалите за Рублен Радев, няма първи да сформират протест срещу него! Гласувахте уж за проруски льотчик, а той се оказа просто политическото "ветрило"🤣
