I can't take this anymore /sci/. The amount of outright and unconscious fraud that goes against mathematical reality is destroying my soul. If I have to extrapolate another 5 year growth rate from a linear regression line based on 20 data points again I think I'm going to stab someone

this OP, literally what's the problem?
You are stealing from nonwhites which is OK since they got rich not by smarts but by owning shot that the white man was interested in.
In former, more just times we would have just invaded and raped these peoples but nowadays we buy them their shit.
Then we have people like you to get the money back and, through consumerism and taxes, benefits all of the society.
You are doing God's work.

Why not just lie to delusional billionaires who completely lack the intelligence to manage their money and stumbled into their wealth? They don't deserve it and they are very likely arrogant morons who should be exploited to benefit the more needing.
There are plenty of legal ways you can ream these idiots and take their money.
>>8805609
Why do you /pol/tards even cime here? Is it because you somehow deluded yourself into thinking that science and math forums are a place to go to in order to feel smart about yourself?
If you mongs actually had any appreciation for science and math you would know that 90% of your ideas are laughably stupid.
I truly hope that you get mugged by some psychotic homeless person intent on castrating you with his homemade bum shank.

Exploiting the stupid for your benefit is nothing to stress yourself about. If you're really worried about it just find another job.

I cant really be bothered to make a brain meme but it would go something like this:
>debating your enemies from a point of moral superiority
>debating your enemies by lowering yourself to their level
>debating your enemies by lowering yourself so deep down that they have the moral highground
>>8805813
Go back to your quarantine board. No one wants you here.
>>8804373
yes this is why the economy is so shaky. You know how the cover it up they tell you it causes volatility which is needed for a stable market. This is one of the many reasons I left finance.
>>8806333
nice dubs.
But there is literally nothing wrong with having a political opinion different to yours.
>>8805813
>tolerance means I can be stupid and nobody can call me out on it
>>8806347
If that "political opinion" is nazism, then yes you are wrong.
>>8806354
>>I truly hope that you get mugged by some psychotic homeless person intent on castrating you with his homemade bum shank.
>call me out
Really makes me think....
If that is how the left is "calling someone out" then they really are not very tolerant.
>>8806357
But he is no Nazi.
What makes you think that he supports nationalism AND socialism?
I can see the nationalism, even ethno-nationalism, but socialism? not really.
You really have no Idea what "nazi" even means do you?
>>8806365

Maybe?
But there are often communist and ancap threads there too?
Does that mean everyone there is a nationalistic, sozialistic, communist anarcho capitalist?
Definitely no.
You are branding someone with something you have no evidence to support.

One can frequent a place for discussion even if they don't agree with the prevailing views. This rampant polarization of discourse in the last couple decades is why politics are as charged as they are today. You don't have to be literally Hitler to enjoy watching people overreact to views that aren't their own.

So what?
That happens every where, even in real life.
People get REALLY emotionally invested in politics and that easily escalates some stupid bait post into a left vs. right debate.
>>8804368
Holy shit. This every fucking day.
Who cares -just make the chart look good.
Its all about "telling the story".

This is why I want a refund on my econ degree and why I'm working on a my degree in electrical dick sucking on the side.

You're doing God's work fleecing these filthy khaleeji Gulf Arab maniacs. They're disgusting and you stealing their money is a GOOD and MORAL thing. They're all perverts, rapists and no-good immoral sociopaths. Trust me, I lived in Doha, Qatar for 3 years, the rich Gulf Arabs are barely human, they're still savages who believe it's their right as Muslims to rape uncovered kuffar.
That sounds fucking hilarious. Would have as a job

I did HFT for almost a year, we were trading on information that had yet to be released to the public through the exchange because we were so fast, so were in effect doing insider trading with the other HFT firms.
The best thing about Wallstreet is they understand you won't find unicorn programmers, so they pair you with a mathematician instead of looking for "PhDs in ML with 5+ exp writing optimized C++". They were paying these guys well over $200k a year too base salary plus bonuses in the hundreds of thousands meanwhile Silicon Valley/Elron Musk of SpaceXtology will pay them $90-130k.
>>8804368
All applied math is like this. You start with the correct model and then you twist it until it looks like what the person paying you wants to see, regardless of whether it's pants-on-head retarded by this point.
Even engineering is not safe; you'd think it would be "we can't cheat and cut corners or this will blow up", but the real mindset you face is "how many corners can we cut without this blowing up?"
>>8804368
atleast you are stealing from people who steals

is all of economics just a big joke? can anybody even predict anything?
I have a feeling that no economist really knows how things work.
>>8807010
>>8807211
It's complete and total perpetuated bullshit-a bunch of stem degrees mixed with econ and finance drones and wannabe intellectuals pretending to know whats going to happen.
No on really "knows" for the purpose of the business. Their job isn't to know, its to sell shit to clients (internal and external). In reality I think most people do know in the back of their minds that economic groth reliant on the expansion of debt isn't sustainable but the cycles continue and are difficult to time.
Every cycle there are a few people who guess right and they get to write the books and go on the talk shows. They dont really guess right at all though, they just get lucky on the timing.
On the small scale you can be pretty sure of the initial results of something like changing the ff rate. But its a dynamic nonlinear system so after that initial iteration it's tough to say. Add HFT to the mix and it's all fucked.
If you like money and want to work (read:sell your soul) it's a great career. If you have integrity and want to actually know how to do something useful while we turn this rock into the second Venus then go make/research shit.

See the reason why we don't want you /pol/lacks here is not because we are triggered, or leftists, it's because you devolve every single thread into a shit flinging contest between:
