If you can come up with a profitable strategy then you can still be hired or just trade yourself. Without this there is no point being a quant. Besides quants still need developers - those integrals will not help building maintainable trading apps.

I would say those questions are for recent graduates who want a junior quant role.

Who would want to tarnish the Oculus brand with Facebook's "social" slot games?

It looks like one of those game pop-up ads - only full-screen. Yeah, I am going to install you crappy client to download your crappy freemium games.

> In contrast, women tend to engage in especially vigorous mate retention efforts when married to men who have good jobs, high incomes, and devote a lot of time to status striving.

That is unless government steps in to guarantee 50% claim of men's resources regardless of retention efforts.

You should've laughed to divert any suspicions. When someone makes a racist joke about me I chuckle and wait for my turn. Because I don't want to watch what I am saying all the time. He did not make an attack, he lowered his shield. And then suffered the consequences.

Asians seem to be doing fine, though? Oh, I forgot, the [hated_group_name] is redefined until it includes all people who achieve academically. Also her sexist remark is really not necessary :(.

"Melanie took over as the math teacher for the girls, however she did not teach math, she used the subject for female empowerment, talking about "how numbers make you feel," "what does a plus sign smell like" and "is the number seven odd, or just different" while disapproving of men treating math like a problem that needs to be solved, none of these being actual math subjects as math 'is' about solving problems."

Diversity fatigue 10 years ago

"We increased diversity in IT!"

"Cool, you hired a dynamic Python dev, a static functional Haskel dev and a UX inclined HTML/C# dev?"

"Err... No, we hired a cartesian product of races and genders within Java skillset... But they sure have different worldviews!"

Some of reasons reasons:

1) F# team prefers an ivory tower of pure language design to making killer _new_ products like Akka.

2) Meaningful whitespace is a matter of taste and not some golden standard. I like my languages with punctuation marks in them, thanks very much.

3) Total global inference and ultimate succinctness is a matter of taste and not some achievement. I don't program in Brainfuck and ML.
