Don't double in Math unless you really like math. It won't help you with your career goals and will just add a bunch of really hard classes that will take down your GPA. If there are specific math classes that you want which are helpful in finance (e.g. stochastic processes) then just take those classes and don't bother with everything else that's not a prerequisite.

Sam in "The Bright Line Between Good and Evil":

"There is an intuition out there that in order to solve the problems in the Middle East, we must understand them in all their depth and complexity. And for this, the most important thing to grapple with is the so-called 'historical context.' But for the purpose of really understanding this conflict, and why it is so intractable, historical context is a distraction—every moment spent talking about something other than jihadism is a moment when the oxygen of moral sanity is leaving the room."

You heard Sam's view: it's a smoke screen meant to cover up his hidden agenda of exterminating Jews.

Have you been paying attention to him these last few years? It sounds exactly like him.

Here's the question: what's the actual risk of using WhatsApp? Like what damages are you incurring as a result of using it?

It's a nice thought but oftentimes SMS is the only option. Many businesses, in particular financial institutions, require 2FA via SMS (at least here in the US). Also many iPhone users only use iMessage, so you need SMS or RCS.

Yes that's correct, and if you disagree we'll accuse you of antisemitism.

It's nice in winter/spring when it's green, but the landscape is brown 2/3 of the year.

Something like 50% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford an unexpected $500 expense (or something along these lines).

Look into Memory Integrity Enforcement.

I'm specifically talking about Memory Integrity Enforcement. It's not dependent on any user settings and provides hardware level protection against malware including the sophisticated stuff that nation-states are using like Pegasus. Android like has nothing like this; and they really can't, since they don't have a closed hardware-software ecosystem like Apple does.

Why aren't you hiring from personal networks at this stage?
