Erittäin hyvä mielen virkistykseksi.
Velkajarru-keskustelussa alkaa jäädä sivuun koko harjoituksen tarkoitus: saada EU-rajoihinkin törmännyt velkaantuminen hallintaan pitkäjänteisellä ohjelmalla. Siksi muutamien perusasioiden toistaminen ei ehkä ole pahitteeksi. vesavihriala.fi/2026/10/viel…

Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates

Each day, as yet another crisis emerges, l feel the potency of this quote:
"Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it"

Englannin PISA-tulosten pitäisi antaa ajattelemisen aihetta niille, joiden mielestä perusasioiden opettaminen ja testaaminen on pikemminkin haitaksi kuin hyödyksi. Kuten myös niille, joiden mielestä maahanmuutto on huonojen tulosten syy. samf.substack.com/p/why-engl…
Uskomattoman hieno artikkeli. Rauha pudonneille ja muille iskujen uhreille.
If you'e never read The Falling Man, you should do so. I post this on September 11th every year, and I find time to read it on this day every year. Still, in my eyes, the greatest piece of journalism I have ever read. esquire.com/news-politics/a4…

Kokosin mediasta asiantuntijoiden ja opettajien selityksiä huonoille Pisa-tuloksille.
On aidosti synkkää, että meille tarjotaan vuodesta toiseen näitä "voipi olla näinnii" -arveluja.
Kuten lainauksistakin käy ilmi, kukaan ei oikeasti tiedä, mistä tulosten huononeminen johtuu.
Yksi merkittävä syy on, että oppimistuloksia ei mitata valtakunnallisilla kokeilla. Olemme päättäneet olla tietämättä.
Kun asiantuntijat eivät pysty tämän parempaan, tila on auki somespekulanteille ja aikojen rappiosta pauhaaville profeetoille.

WSJ: CIA Director Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow after the US gathered intelligence indicating mobilization preparations and plans to test NATO's resolve.
Former Deputy Director of US National Intelligence Beth Sanner told the publication that Ratcliffe may have met with Putin to deliver a warning along the lines of: "We know what you are going to do, and you'd better not do it."

Kiinnostava kiteytys
Men trying to approach women is a minefield.
“55% of single 18-30 men say they haven’t approached a woman in the last year.
77% of 18-30 women say they wished they were approached more.
At 41+ the trend flips and 55% of women said they didn’t want to be approached.”
86% of women say they want the man to make the first move.
However, 50% of men report not wanting to approach women for fear of being seen as creepy or predatory.
17% of Americans aged 18 to 29 believe that a man inviting a woman out for a drink “always” or “usually” constitutes sexual harassment.
And 82% of women reported experiencing creepy behaviour “sometimes,” “often,” or “constantly”.
This is a difficult circle to square.
Women face a dilemma – they are scared for their safety but also have a preference for men making the first move.
Men face a dilemma – they are terrified of being seen as creepy but also know that if they don’t approach a woman, the conversation is unlikely to start. — h/t @datepsych
