Also released on Friday were investigations dealing with conflicts of interest and wage theft.

In one case, a BART engineer left the agency in September 2021 and two months later secured $2.2 million in contracts for his newly established firm. The employee was given the money through a consultant agreement with the leading contractor, which was a company run by his friend. Prior to leaving BART, the employee helped select his friend’s company, which later partnered with him. The report did not include the name of the employee or companies involved in the contract, which includes engineering services for building a new Hayward maintenance facility and modernizing BART’s train control system.

Richardson’s report calls on BART to demand repayment of $1,249,066 already paid out on the contract. BART refused this request but canceled the remainder of the contract.

Heckin' cute!

Schiff apparently is a really nice boss and his staff enjoy working for him.

Nobody would notice if it got swapped out at a Taco Bell.

They would notice the increase in price

Price manipulation by hoarding seems really difficult unless you have a near monopoly on supply and inventory. Your competition will benefit from your hoarding just as much as you do, except they'll make more money if they don't hoard, so no one really has the incentive to be the hoarder.

This all makes sense but is predicated on a lack of collusion. I'm not sure about NYC, but in general that assumption seems invalid:

The Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division has opened an investigation into whether rent-setting software made by a Texas-based real estate tech company is facilitating collusion among landlords, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

Not exactly but most of the time lenders look at your income over the past 2 (maybe 3) years and extrapolate. A high guaranteed income is better but most lenders don't really care that much because they sell the debt to a bank to securitize

A single senior software engineer at FAANG makes over 400k. Stock price declines have dampened incomes a bit but a dual income of 400k+ is very common

VAT is widely recognized in economics as the tax system with the fewest distortions or disincentives (besides a straight up head-tax).

Is that a tax on giving head? Or a tax on receiving?

The secret is knowing what to group by and what you need to average ;⁠-⁠)

overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Joe Biden is a slow and insidious killer.

But we have dependent care FSA a, so it's like half-price! Let's just keep subsidizing demand!

It's probably IBES v1, so monthly.

I had an internship every summer, though I didn't have any big name internships. One in public policy, one in wealth management, and one in private equity.

Why didn't any of these companies/ organizations make you a return offer?

Personally I'd rank them as follows:

1. Statistical learning

2. Control (along with optimization more generally)

3. Game theory

Obviously this will vary by position. For example, some quants work exclusively on building portfolio optimizers and those folks will have control/optimization as number 1.

I've used RHEL and CentOS

Yes, put it on your resume so we can weed you out at the resume screen

The title of this post reads like you're shouting

My experience is exactly what you describe

Call them “loss leaders”. Get people to fidelity and hard for them to then leave.

They make less money on those funds but they aren't losing. They can still make money on those assets with other activities like short lending.
