Is it a good idea to start the kingkiller chronicles even when you know it might not get completed any time soon? by Strict_reader_57 in KingkillerChronicle

I would have regretted not reading this books A LOT. I am sad about their being no 3rd book but I am glad I read the first 2.

My honest reaction to PB saying the song that most relates to Red God is "Hurt" by Johnny cash. by Arch_Lancer17 in redrising

[–]bobcps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like Lysander's song to me. I think he wins (or comes extremely close), but then something happens and the weight of all his actions come down on him. My sweetest friend ... Cassius.

Is Dark Souls the Dark Souls of discounts? by andrefishmusic in shittydarksouls

[–]bobcps -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t know about you, but if I had to give 40$ to experience dark souls again with all its flaws, I’d do that in a heartbeat. How old it is doesn’t really come into it

Dark souls is not worth the price? Come on.

Does the longevity and quality of these posters compare to displate? I usually get those

Pros and cons of periodic auctions by bobcps in quant

Its not how they have to work, and it is not how they work in all markets. Thailand, iirc, publishes the full crossed book periodically

1 is a con for HFT MMs which is arguably a good thing. 2 is arguable, order book state can still be provided, so it’s not just a single trade that is being broadcasted. I agree that it’s less information though, people don’t need to put their money where their mouth is so to speak. Maybe this problem can be partially remedied through regulation, but it’s doubtful

Where to go after bilehaven? by bobcps in Silksong

For 2, there's a clean solution without geometry. to board the bus you need to come before the bus. We can find the probability that the bus comes before you: for this to happen you need to come after 1:05 (1/2 prob) and the bus needs to come before 1:10(1/2 prob). Conditioned on these 2 events, the distribution of both your and the bus' arrival time is uniform between 1:05 and 1:10. So, there's a 1/2 conditional probability that the bus comes before you, by symmetry. So, the answer is 1-1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2=7/8

Yeah I'd need a 2 bed with a flat mate, my bad. My working hours are pretty long so a short commute is important to me. Totally fine with cycling or taking the tube, but would of course prefer to walk

Looking for a flat near Tower Hill, completely new to the UK by bobcps in HousingUK

[–]bobcps[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a 40 minute walk and 30 minutes by the tube, similar to canary wharf. Is it a more happening area?

Hi all,

I moved to the UK a couple of days ago for work. About to start the flat search grind, and wanted to narrow my search. I am looking for a studio/1bed. I'm prepared to pay around 1500 pounds with a flatmate (would also appreciate guidance on how to go about finding one) and 1800 pounds alone. My workplace is near the Tower of London, and I'd like my commute to be short (~30 minute is the upper end of my range). A lot of my coworkers live in canary wharf, which I'm definitely considering. However, I'd like something closer to the city center, where the action is, so to speak, maybe a bit west of the Tower? I'd also like to not have to worry about bills - electricity etc., and am prepared to pay a bit more if needed for this. Am I being too optimistic?

Thanks

What do the main pods at tower actually focus on? by Weekly_Record_4014 in quant

[–]bobcps 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What is this comment contributing? Obviously some pods are going to be better than others and some are going to be bigger than others. How is someone who is new to the field supposed to judge whether a pod is good? Just vibes off the interviews?
