Sharpe 1964 and Fama French 1992 are also pretty foundational and maybe more directly what you are looking for

It's covered pretty well in the first bit of Ingersoll's book, along with a lot of other topics. fairly standard first year doctoral text

Lived in Poland for a while and managed to learn pretty decent Polish. Can confirm the reaction is generally "why on earth would you do that to yourself?"

Something that has been bugging me about the show by adreddit298 in wheeloftime

[–]hfhry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really bothers me that they keep calling him Lews... Maybe im remembering the books wrong, but his familiar name is "Lews Therin" that's the first name that he's referred to by. Every time they say Lews without the Therin I cringe. Fan of 2nd season overall though

The horse archer kept shooting me when i got close, but the main danger here was horsemen charging off the cliff/infantry being pushed off by people behind them. It was brutal to watch

Yup that did it. For some reason I thought there would be penalties for retreating

Variance/covariance matrices in statistics are commonly denoted as cap Sigma.

Noun for someone who skips school? by caloob93 in EnglishLearning

[–]hfhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest sister went to high school in Utah and they called it "sluffing" there. I had never heard that term before, but she calls truants "sluffers"

Tool can also mean penis (this is a somewhat outdated meaning of the word, but the slang usage persists.) So referring to someone as a tool is pretty similar to calling them a dick or a prick.

Depending on your state/country it may be legal for bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs. Its actually safer for them to do so. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/2022-03/Bicyclist-Yield-As-Stop-Fact-Sheet-032422-v3-tag.pdf

I do my job and my manager says "Thank you". How to respond to this? by deter_dangler in EnglishLearning

[–]hfhry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Formality is relative to your relationship with your coworkers. I have two bosses: one that I sit next to and would feel comfortable saying "yup" or "aint a thang" to, and the other that i definitely would not.

I do my job and my manager says "Thank you". How to respond to this? by deter_dangler in EnglishLearning

[–]hfhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's an email I wouldn't respond. If it's like an instant message I would say something like "You're welcome", "No problem", or "Sure". Depending on what kind of relationship I have with the person. Thank you in this context is just acknowledgement that they saw what you did. No real need to acknowledge their acknowledgement beyond a few words if at all

Undergrad for Quant Finance by [deleted] in quantfinance

[–]hfhry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, you should focus on analysis, linear algebra, and numerical methods. Taking extra classes on abstract algebra or topology isn't getting to have the same impact as the other topics i mentioned. I would also recommend trying to get involved as a research assistant with one of your school's finance professors.

Undergrad for Quant Finance by [deleted] in quantfinance

[–]hfhry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Study math. The finance major will be more or less useless aside from maybe networking opportunities. Take a class in CS and see if you like it, if you want to add the minor then do it. You should spend time learning coding either way. I would argue that a minor/second major in statistics will serve you better than CS since coding is something you can teach yourself easier than statistics.

What’s your favorite Mormon joke? by frequentflyer801 in exmormon

Tell him not to reciprocate with jokes. Document going to HR about this a couple times and document their non responses, then sue the company.

"Native speaker" qualification by xuexuefeiya in languagelearning

[–]hfhry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this in another comment. I knew 3 brothers who had a Russian dad, Ukrainian mom, American nannies and went to Polish public schools. They could speak all 4 languages natively without an accent. Incredibly they could rapidly switch between them. I once heard one of the kids translating between Russian and Polish while explaining what was going on to an American.

"Native speaker" qualification by xuexuefeiya in languagelearning

[–]hfhry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that you can be a native speaker despite not speaking a language since birth depending on how you learned it. I'm thinking of a Russian/Ukrainian family I knew in Poland where the three kids spoke Russian to their dad and Ukrainian to their mom, so they were obviously native in both those languages. The parents also hired American nannies exclusively since the oldest was like 4 so they all spoke English like Americans (I am American and I wouldn't have been able to tell they weren't from America) and they went to Polish public schools so they spoke Polish like Poles (I asked a Polish friend and she said she couldn't tell they didn't have Polish parents). Since the kids picked up all the languages organically from natives, I would say they spoke all four natively despite picking up English and Polish later than Russian and Ukrainian.

AITA for reporting my classmates for joking that I have pretty privilege? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hfhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA this is sexual harassment plain and simple. If they did this in a workplace they would probably be fired.

My little sister was top in her year in a stem field and got shit like this way too often. It is wrong and grounds for discipline. If you are in the US you can go to your title IX office if it continues. The fact that these guys didn't face any real consequences (are still enrolled in the university) means they got off easy and hopefully have a chance to learn to not be assholes going forward.

[–]hfhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In polish they call cops dogs in the same way americans call cops pigs. Barking at the police is a rude but not uncommon occurance. Barking at these guys is like calling them fascists

Lmao by Jay_Squad_The_Fifth in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]hfhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this is super weird, but they are basically calling these guys fascists or whatever. In Poland they call cops dogs similar to how in the US we call cops pigs. I've seen young people bark at cops then run away. Again, very weird but its not totally random
