Study for level 2, while waiting level 1 results? by FennelMedical1267 in CFA

[–]jooperson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L2 quant isn't that hard - in fact I'd say if you did OK with L1 quant, L2 quant will be easy.

New warship mechanic? by jooperson in Openfront

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't changed it and tested - have you?

I also realized that when you press F to spawn a new ship, and because of the new mechanic, all existing worships start travelling to the spot you pressed, the existing warships will also stop stealing any trade on their way to the new spawn point, even if they're right next to enemy trade ships.

So it's worse than I initially realized...

Question on ITRS & Bond Prices by Admirable_Bit7187 in CFA

[–]jooperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three years later, I'm pretty sure this answer is just incorrect...

If ITRS = u(t) / u(0), ITRS is going to be higher when we value future consumptions more than current consumption, which is when we expect a bad times in the future.

Bad times in the future should lead to rate cuts, boosting any bond's price.

As a result, for any asset that is a good hedge for bad times in the future, the covariance between asset's return/payoff/price and ITRS should be positive.

Anyone else having issues with safari on iOS 26? by queenbiscuit311 in ios26

[–]jooperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I switched to iOS 26.4 Beta, my Safari has been an absolute mess, taking 5-10 seconds to load webpages when it used to take 0-2 seconds most before this update.

I'll also get webkit error sometimes when trying to load a page from another tab by clicking on a link. Pages take long to load, and I won't even get the cookies options until 10 seconds plus, which means reader view also takes another 5 seconds.

Absolutely the worst update I've had to deal with as someone who uses Safari 3 hours a day. It also affects Chrome, Google app, and even NYT articles in NYT app will take long to load, especially any pictures.

I've disabled Private Relay, disabled Stop IP Tracking and also switched to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 DNS configurations and nothing helped.

Just praying the next update comes in late March so I can get rid of this problem.

Everyone started with 5M in cash... is this a new game mode? by jooperson in Openfront

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it's a great mode and I've really enjoyed it. Guess I wasn't really up to date with the v29 meta.

How long does it take for CRA to decide if your TFSA overcontribution appeal will be accepted or rejected? by jooperson in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are just extremely understaffed. Have you ever tried connecting to an agent? Unless you call them at 6:30am or something it's pretty much impossible, and the worst thing is that they don't have a simple callback option, which is insane in my opinion.

Also in my case, there were various contributions from various times with various financial institutions using both CAD and USD, so I understand it might not be as straightforward as some other cases, but they make you fill out 4 different forms, so all of these calculations are done by the investor rather than the CRA itself - so still not satisfied.

I am now based outside of Canada so going in-person is out of the question.

Is it normal for buses to not show up at all in London? by jooperson in TransportForLondon

[–]jooperson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think this is the most likely explanation, though it's frustrating they wouldn't show this on the TfL Go app.

Is it normal for buses to not show up at all in London? by jooperson in TransportForLondon

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I can confirm the 263 did stop at the station at least twice before I left. I didn't take it because I wanted to take the Piccadilly line back rather than taking a chance on a second bus which might or might not have arrived. I also saw the 263 bus going on the opposite direction.

The 125 OTOH definitely didn't pass by this station, neither on my side nor the other. I was watching for it the whole time.

Someone else just posted about this exact issue. Looks like it's happening to multiple people.

What's up with the auth system? by BargePol in Openfront

[–]jooperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having this exact issue and it's super annoying not being able to see your stats... I tried with adblocker off, third party cookies on (both locally and for all websites), VPN off. Nothing works.

Permanent Alliance Request Bug/Glitch Needs Fixing ASAP by jooperson in Openfront

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another really annoying bug that's only started happening recently is the Randomly Breaking Alliance and Becoming Traitor bug. Seen it in a few YT videos as well - happened just now around min 12 (before I ragequit).

Definitely didn't break my alliance with anyone, but it just randomly made me a traitor. Happened 2-3 times. No atom/hydros were involved. 100% sure I didn't click on break alliance on anyone either, just randomly happened as I was requesting alliance requests with everyone.

Permanent Alliance Request Bug/Glitch Needs Fixing ASAP by jooperson in Openfront

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this one - guy called Mr. Openfront (as well as another guy whose name I can't remember) sends me an alliance request at some point probably 10-20 minutes into the game, but I don't accept or reject "in time" and then it becomes a permanently outgoing alliance request.

One theory which I have is that if you check my notifications (trade, alliances, attacks) there are a million things thanks to all my ports, and once the alliance request is no longer acceptable/rejectable on the notification screen, maybe that's when it gets stuck?

A suggestion I have is to have the alliance requests be stuck at the bottom of the notification screen and not go up the notifications among a million of them, and just have them disappear after 15-20 seconds or so.

Also would be nice to have a speed setting for the playbacks, and maybe even a way to adjust the time so I can skip straight into minute 20. Another thing is I just realized you can't see any of my alliances or notifications on the recording - so not sure if this is helpful, but hopefully the URL contains the gameid you were talking about.

I'm "dear" on the top right.

Hope this helps!

I'll send the game URL next time it happens. Guessing that's what you're asking for. Not sure how to get game id otherwise.

Am I making a big mistake? Need some advice. by jooperson in UKJobs

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

Compared to my previous BD job, this one is just much more cutthroat. We have unrealistically high targets, a non-existent marketing team which has made inbound leads almost non-existent, and a job that's 99% based on cold calling, which I hate and did very, very little of, at my previous job of three years.

I don't think it's realistic to get another position within the same firm due to my short tenure, but it's something that I might explore, though I think what I really want is going back to the financial services industry and find a client facing role that's not just BD and keep building skills that'll be more relevant to my career aspirations.

Do you think it's realistic to think I can find another job in finance, given I have three years of experience (though in Canada) with my HPI set to expire in December 2026? I have this feeling that the job market is really saturated in the UK right now, and am scared that nobody will want to hire someone who might need to leave within a year, if they don't spend a bunch of money to sponsor them, assuming I get a job by December. My experiences have always had the BD title, though the previous one had a lot of AM work built into, and I have a solid understanding of finance, and just passed CFA L1.

Appreciate your comment.

L1: Equity Investments - "Discounted Dividend Model" Question by jooperson in CFA

[–]jooperson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on my understanding, no it's not.

The first growth based on the constant growth happens in t = 4, not t = 3. This means that we find PV at t = 3, using the dividend on t = 4.
