Stillwell's books are very good, as are Courant/Robbins What is Math and Ian Stewart's several books(one with David Tall as collaborator). My dad gifted me What is Math in grade school and i return to it every couple of years.

Will take awhile for liquidity to build, just look at volume candles on /ES contract, really not much during Asian trading session

24 hour trading is avail on brokers like IBK, webull, hood, etrade, Schwab (short lists of tickers, but useful ones, QQQ, SPY SMH etc). If you're looking at just ARca's order book, liquidity is pretty thin overnight before 4am EST

In context, WUSTL has a $13+ billion endowment and earned solid returns as last reported: https://endowment.wustl.edu/about/endowment/

So while this may sound like it'll be in the case studies of ERP/CRM etc failed projects, which has some very memorable writeups, the judgement of failure/success is still out (or shd we say jury is out)

No idea about any of these channels but there are some on YT that give good global macro coverage:

- Vix, IV vs realized/historical

- option flows

- market makers gex, skews, (1st 3 probably best src of edge)

- /NQ and /ES trading volume,

- bond yld curve, credit spreads, how much prim dealers hold after long auctions, PBC holdings

- metals

- geopolitical: Europe / middle East / China/ South America

- energy

- currency

- commodity prompt spreads, contangos

(IMO)The 2 sigma's are getting receptive audiences as pre-announces of layoffs at Amazon, MS and others yield the analog of a 50 VIX in the options markets, where enumerating mid/good/bad scenarios goes from difficult to impossible.

Lots of good info in OPs article and this thread, and good band/classical tradition suggests, also.

I've been listening to a lot of 21st century string quartets, Ben Johnston (student of Partsch), Caroline Shaw, Garth Knox, Kevin Puts and trying to figure out how they notate them. Also spend time on fretless bass/guitar, pedal/lap steel doing ... stuff.

Years ago, i visited a well funded project to generate power from (I think) similar kites, high aspect ratio front rams, I'll have to ask what happened to them.

we have 2 very recent Tesla 3's here (in the US, tho i'm not sure which gen HW 3 or 4 they have and I don't drive them), i'm told (judging by center console) reliably identify anything they need to but FSD isn't happy in construction zones with orange cones and will go slow.

as a parallel track, PC build/repair is pretty easy but underappreciated and definitely a marketable skill. This could include building peripherals, keyboards, especially, which i consioder a really valuable skill.

Not bad, curious about price, but as noted by others in thread, the only really special thing are the keycaps, given those you could replicate functionality on any ZMK/QMK keyboard. I might try this as a layer of a glove 80 or ZSA voyager, s.t. like that
