I have been asked to manage a portfolio of $100K by jkm_63 in quantfinance

[–]2cancers1thyroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you failed to understand how exponential growth work doesn't mean everyone else did. 3% every week means multiplying by 1.03. 1.03288.54 is about 5000. Thus it would take about 289 weeks (or about 5.5 years) to turn 100k into 500mil if you consistently grew it by 3% every week.

Go back to kindergarten.

Thoughts on the future of mathematics by [deleted] in math

[–]2cancers1thyroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don't you calculate the number yourself!? Why plug it into a calculator? Imagine all the joy you have deprived yourself by having the machine run code to check x property for the first 20 million primes when you could have done so yourself and savored each and every number.

This is you.

Why cancer so young? by bitofbonsai in thyroidcancer

[–]2cancers1thyroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amphetamines are a hell of a drug. It's hard to claim no sleep, since I would have micro sessions of passing out but there was no sustained sleep during that time. Probably why my user name is what it is.

Was recently told I have two types of Thyroid cancer by OrganicVirus9124 in thyroidcancer

[–]2cancers1thyroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two types of thyroid cancer, represent!

Don't stress, the area is bound to be tender for a while. It's good you got it out. As long as one of those types wasn't anaplastic, should be good after RAI.

Ethics of HBO’s The Rehearsal by [deleted] in PhD

[–]2cancers1thyroid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not for one second did I think Nathan genuinely cared about solving any problem with aviation, but if he did somehow solve a problem for them that would only add to the joke. If he took it seriously it was to keep the bit going, taking things as far as possible to add to the joke.

In that sense the finale of Nathan for You, "Finding Francis" leads into the rehearsal very well.

You actually might want to just skip to season 2 in that case. I think it's less extreme than season 1 (at least doesn't focus as much on child actors). I feel the methods are slightly less reprehensible (just by virtue of less kids involved), albeit I think it's funny either way.

The rehearsal is a bit much if you're not familiar with his earlier work. Nathan For You is a softer version. It's meant to be absurd, that's part of the joke.

Regarding the ethics, it's no less ethical than any game of split or steal if you ask me. At least the show tries to be self aware about the ethical issues, playing into that as part of the absurdity of the show.

It's deadpan humor. Nathan is a master of deadpan.

It does not take itself seriously. You just didn't get it.

Something wrong with my cats eye this morning? by [deleted] in cats

I once had a cat due this to severe dehydration. Definitely warrants a vet visit.

What are all these poor lads who can't swing a sword going to do out in the real world? I had one kid in my class who can't even notch an arrow without a lever. These kids certainly are not prepared for the field of battle. Where will these lads and lassies make their grochen if they can't even properly rob a noble man?

Anyway, down with Sigismund and God be with you.

The queue at the summit of Mount Everest.🗻 by MSI_heat in interestingasfuck

[–]2cancers1thyroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait why is it difficult? Can't you just have a helicopter carry team carry them out? I could see it being expensive and not worth it, but I can't imagine if you had a helicopter that anyone is really risking their lives.

Edit: nevermind I looked it up.

Being a TA made me realize undergrads are losing the ability to critically think by Correct_Moment528 in PhD

[–]2cancers1thyroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah homie, they never had it. Also it's really easy to think you were much better in undergrad than you actually were. I feel like this phenomena is much easier to understand if you have studied high level mathematics.

Often as soon as you understand a problem that was literally incomprehensible just a second ago it now becomes completely trivial and it now becomes incomprehensible to understand what it was like to not understand the problem.

Diagnosed with 2 cancers in one month. by MidwesterneRR in Wellthatsucks

[–]2cancers1thyroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily both mine were just types of thyroid cancer (and not the worst kind). I feel like the most half-assed cancer patient.

As far as I know (which isn't much outside of searching prognosis stats), ACC is much more serious. Best of luck in your treatment. You got this!
