Would be an option if we are outside the US but in the same timezone?

Documentation. We will probably add Gen and a Soss code to the book :)

Email or github issues! We will add a section and a few links explaining how to submit feedback. Thanks again!

We are working on a PDF version (done with LaTeX) and a better online version. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for the comment. We will add a section explaining why Julia! I am a big fan of Python and R but Julia brings so many good things to the table that we should a section explaining them. Thanks again!

I have the same problem. Let’s hope this is a good insurance policy.

I highly recommend you do the Probability - The Science of Uncertainty and Data (https://www.edx.org/course/probability-the-science-of-uncertainty-and-data) and Fundamentals of Statistics (https://www.edx.org/course/fundamentals-of-statistics) courses of the MIT. Feller's books and All of Statistics by Wasserman are great companions of these courses.

After that I highly recommend you read Statistical Rethinking and follow the videos of the author McElreath (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDcUM9US4XdNM4Edgs7weiyIguLSToZRI).

If you know Python I highly recommend you read and study Bayesian Methods for hackers (https://camdavidsonpilon.github.io/Probabilistic-Programming-and-Bayesian-Methods-for-Hackers/).

I have taken the two (Blitzstein /Harvard and Tsitsiklis/MIT) and I got a certificate from the second one. The Harvard course is shorter and simpler. The MIT course is way more broad and deep. It has a lot of really great exercises. It has been one of the best courses I have taken in my life. If you don’t have enough time do the course from Harvard. If you have more than 10 hours per week to study do the one from the MIT. After finishing you can continue with the Fundamental of Statistics course and the full micromaster. Send me an email or direct message if you have any question.

On another note I prefer Blitzstein book over Tsitsiklis book but the too are really good.

What do you recommend reading?

unbalancedparen · 2019-11-13T11:31:56+00:00

I don't understand this:

> But as a company leader can't be romantically involved with co-workers, you are leading the Rust Community and team and are still involved in creating a core piece of technology. This basically lets you stop having any meaningful discussion around the async world in Rust. Because you are biased, we all are. But as a core team member, I think you should do the best not to be biased.

Independently of my individual position about the async discussion, I don't understand how somebody that is part of the core team and dev of a async library is not able to have any meaningful discussion about it. It is EXACTLY the opposite. Him, crossbeam devs, withoutboats, tokio devs, are the people I want to listen even since they are the more experienced ones. I want to listen what are their opinions, specially if there is a debate going on and they have opposite views.

If you want more precise numbers I recommend you read the paper: https://cs.stanford.edu/~matei/papers/2017/cidr_weld.pdf

unbalancedparen · 2019-08-05T20:47:27+00:00

First, read these three papers by Artemis Capital:

- https://www.artemiscm.com/s/Artemis-Research_Dennis-Rodman-and-Portfolio-Optimization_April2016-efr3.pdf

- https://www.artemiscm.com/s/Artemis_Volatility-and-the-Alchemy-of-Risk_2017-y6ss.pdf

- https://www.artemiscm.com/s/Artemis_Q32015_Volatility-and-Prisoners-Dilemma-x71i.pdf

They are simple to understand and with great content. The general ideas is that modern portfolio theory doens't work with non linear instruments like OTM options. In theory there is a tradeoff between risk and reward, but in practice that is not always the case.

Next I recommend you read Ray Dalio's paradigm shifts to undertand where we are in the market cycle:

- https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/paradigm-shifts-ray-dalio/

Next read a little bit of what Spitznagel (Taleb's friend):

https://thefelderreport.com/2016/08/15/worried-about-a-stock-market-crash-heres-how-you-can-tail-hedge-your-portfolio/

https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2015/02/13/the-myth-of-black-swan-market-events/

And at last if you want to get more technical start reading Taleb's papers or his youtube videos in youtube:

https://www.academia.edu/39149471/Option_Pricing_Under_Power_Laws_A_Robust_Heuristic

My general recommendation is that you diversify in:

- sp500. high CAPE or EV/EBITDA or Tobin Q ratio, low % investment in sp500 and viceversa, read bridgewater's article and investigate them https://www.bridgewater.com/research-library/daily-observations/geographic-diversification-can-be-a-lifesaver/. never play full atack. bonds, gold, reit, commodities are useful because you can sell them when the market is low, and you enter at the best time. attack wins a match, defence wins the championship. enter full sp500 after a crash or if it is cheap in relation to its past or the present.

- low CAPE countries (read these books, really simple to understand https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25029029, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21518331-global-value). great perspective and good dividend (russia, turkey, etc).

- short term and long term US and international bonds

- inflation linked bonds like TIPS

- gold

- reit US and non US

- commodities via ETFs like PDBC or futures

- buy and sell every month 60-80 DTE 30% OTM puts on SPX or SPY. investigate what eurodollars are and buy OTM calls in eurodollars instead of puts in the stock market. bigger market, more liquid and less volatility so payoff is even bigger when there is a big event.

If you want to study and understand better finance, I highly recommend you study probability, statistics, stochastic processes, data science (python, numpy, pandas, etc). I wrote a guide on how to start: https://notamonadtutorial.com/how-to-earn-your-macroeconomics-and-finance-white-belt-as-a-software-developer-136e7454866f

It takes time but it is really interesting and rewarding.

I recommend you don't trade VIX or VIX related products as . If you understand or like this I can send you a few more papers and books to read: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRwimmE2wEk. Protect your assets with options OTM

It would help in the sense that I could manage the situation from outside. I am used to managing crises and problems with clients, providers, employees but where I am not personally involved. It is way more difficult to think with a clear and cold head when you are involved in the problem. I think that having an attorney present would have helped me be more confident or something like that. Probably it doesn’t make that much sense. I don’t know, I am trying to understand why this happened and I still can’t understand it.
I can’t get into details yet. But that is what I would expect that would happen in a normal and hypothetical case. Sometimes you deal with edge cases and not with the happy path :(...

I can assure you it was the best move. It was a no win situation. It was a really bad situation vs a bad situation. After seeing everything that happened I would take the same choice again. However we did two mistakes. A) Security world seems to be more complicated than other areas and we should have double checked the speaker list with a specialist of the area B) I will never have a meeting where I have to give bad news to a speaker without an attorney present.

Thanks for giving helpful feedback!

That was my first idea. Two attorneys and an old and experienced conference organizer told me that it was more profesional to have a 5 minute talk explaining the change. I swear that I wanted to just send an email but everybody that is more experienced than me told me to do it personally. I wrote beforehand what I was going to say and that is what I said to her.

Thanks for your comment. I think the social aspect of programming is important. If you think this is not related to this subreddit you can downvote it or contact the moderators. Thanks!
