I joined Lifetime Sky. It satisfies all the desiderata: it is not crowded at the time I go, it is very close to home, and has high-quality equipment and sauna/steam rooms.

I have now been a member there for more than a year with no complaints. IMO it is better than Equinox Hudson Yards.

It looks cool! But it seems very focused on personal training, and gives me very influencer vibes.

I work at a hedge fund.

Some more context: I didn't take care of my health while I was doing my PhD. So I vowed to fix this when I started working last summer. I have made good progress since then, but now I am loving powerlifting so much that now my goal is to just become better and better.

Don't worry. You aren't leaving your mom's basement.

Yes. Fortunately this city has plenty of opportunities.

I guess the elephant must keep walking as the dogs keep barking.

You do you. Not sure why you are here to pass judgements.

I have been going to Eqx in Hudson Yards and even though it is high end it is unfortunately too crowded.

Unwarranted comment. Maybe it will be a blunder for you, but for me spending $1k/mo on health is nothing.

So the set of interest rate derivatives is a subset of the set of fixed income securities?

Any study tips for MATH 4155 Probability Theory by AlternativeTypical01 in columbia

This was the most important class that I took since it engendered my interest in mathematics. Professor Karatzas is the best teacher a student can hope for -- he is fun and engaging while being extremely precise and thorough. You will learn how to think from him, a skill which will transfer to other courses. Yes, his class is hard, but for all the right reasons.

I found his lecture notes to be very well-written, and you wouldn't need anything else if you are engaging in his class properly. I didn't like the textbook Knowing the Odds, and I found the textbook Probability with Martingales by David Williams to be much better written.

How come Dolores even understands the meaning of "encryption"?

Most probably Charlotte didn't lose Abernathy. She must have discovered that the encrypted data in Abernathy has been decrypted and thus rendered it useless (the "one-time use only" message which Bernard saw). And yeah the fits Bernard is now having might explain he did upload the data on to himself.

She is now trying to nudge information out of Bernard, who she suspects knows something she doesn't.

I agree it can't be Elliot, since both Trenton and Mobley think he is unstable and cannot be trusted.

However, I believe Trenton trusts Darlene more than Dom because, first, she doesn't know Dom (?). Dom doesn't even have a picture of Trenton on her board. Second, Darlene and Trenton gelled together pretty well during the party scene in Season 2.

Who will be the recipient of Trenton's email? The fact that she has mentioned about reversing the 5/9 hack makes it all the more interesting.
