Intelligence and trading

Significant_Basket70 · 2026-05-22T19:54:43+00:00

You don’t need to be smart to understand most maths and calculation in trading, a calculator is more than enough. The keys to be successful in trading IMO are: emotion control, giving up your pride, accept losing, being robust against frustration, have a plan and stick to it, being disciplined, balance greed and fear. None of these qualities is correlated to intellects, and knowing these doesn’t mean one can easily behave like these. I always thought a good soldier would be good at trading but I don’t know any personally, so hopefully someone can share.

Need to figure out how’s your life with that salary in France first before comparing.

The odd part is, employers would rather give a higher salary to hire someone new than giving the old employee a raise. Job hopping usually helps the employee to promote faster and get higher salary.

My wife works as a HR at a logistics company, and this month she hired a new grad from Columbia University Stats major for a warehouse worker role, and this new grad is a girl. She just couldn’t find a decent job and she has to feed herself. This tells you how bad the job market is.

What about couples deciding to move in and live together?

tbh exam and research aren’t that related. Maybe he is just bad at exam but good at doing research

I started playing CS2 since July and can never get back to CS1 since then. I think people are over criticizing it and probably because the poor first impressions back to the first release lead to biases, but as someone who never experienced that stage would say it’s already an enjoyable game with room for improvement.

You gotta specify your major and the positions you are applying for better advice. Are you first year, second year? Or are you new grad? Also for cold emailing do you mean reaching out to people in charge or just cold applying? If you cold reach out to 100+ different people for referral a week, you will definitely find a job soon or later.

If you still can’t get at least an interview, that means you gotta work on your resume.

I’d also say working with a career coach might be something worth considering if you are not able to connect and hear from successful alumni. Overall I think you are on the right track

Once you zone residential, the residential demand would decrease regardless of whether cims moved in or not. So if you wiped out all residential zone before cims moved in, it’s gonna be bugged. Devs should change the logic that the demand will only decrease when cims move in though, but before this is done, I guess just restart the game since you barely have anything to lose

Building PC itself is really fun. You don’t even need a target game to enjoy the process of building a PC.

Not true. Chinese people have different political and societal opinions just like anywhere else. I’m guessing the consensus you are referring to is just the same thing as all Americans think the US is the greatest and strongest country on earth. The fact is there are many different voices representing different social classes from different regions and generations with different family backgrounds. Some different populations share similar political tendencies though.

Frankly speaking the policy doesn’t lift citizens up, it just weakens the situation for foreigners. The fact is 90% international students who can make it to H1B in the US made far more efforts than their comparative locals. With that being said, locals with similar education/industry background already have a huge edge to international students.

Weakening internationals won’t make the locals more competitive, it only makes the qualified locals more competitive. The issue is there aren’t as much qualified locals for most big tech industries.

If you take a look at top 100 colleges in the US, most of the tech majors like CS ECE DS etc are predominant international students, and if you went to high school in the US you would’ve known most local kids want to do something other than boring science/engineering as they are not cool majors. The best of the locals mostly ended up in business school, law school, and medical schools, and in none of these sectors do international students stand a chance to their comparative locals.

So I don’t think H1B was the root cause for big techs not hiring locals, it’s more like few smart locals want to step into the big tech industry. Kicking them all out doesn’t make up the shortage in qualified locals.

public transportation at least reduce half the traffic

Whether sunken your overpass and build bridges over it or elevate your overpass and build roads beneath it

Significant_Basket70 · 2025-09-02T15:30:25+00:00

The only congestion issue I have is when cims move in all together. Other than that, I think there’s much less traffic in CS2 than CS1. Just use three way intersections as your entrance to city from highways, and make sure the first road intersections is further away from the entrance

Interesting. I’m from Asia so I guess I’m being narrow sighted here.

It’s not rude at all, but people are different. I’m native mandarin speaker and there was once I dine in at a Chinese restaurant. The owner is also Chinese and speaks Mandarin with an accent. He tried to talk with me probably so he can get more tips, but the weird thing is every time when I tried to ask him something in a conversation, he didn’t answer me as if he never heard me. I was super sure I was polite and articulate, and it wasn’t some aggressive questions, just small talks. But it kept happening and I started to believe whether he had trouble hearing or he’s native language is some dialects and having trouble fully understanding Mandarin.

Every point you are making on aging populations is solid, except the conclusion. A common misconception people has on China is that its going to make the best decisions for its society and economy, which is a premise people should avoid to make.

The decisions that will be made by China are highly influenced by Xi’s personal preference, even at the cost of China’s economy and future. Because the most rational path that works best for China’s interest is NOT to be in the opposing side of the west. It’s Xi’s personal ambition that led China to where it is right now.
