  • The release did not detail potential reasons for this rise in colorectal cancer deaths, though a representative for the ACS told NewsNation that researchers were looking into “diet and obesity for sure.”

    This echoes previous findings from the ACS, as well as the opinions of medical experts who attribute at least some instances of colon cancer in young adults to “diet, decreased exercise and poor lifestyle choices like increased smoking or drinking,” Dr. Dana Hayden, a colon and rectal surgery specialist with UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin, said in 2023.

    “But there are definitely some other factors that could be related to genetics, that could be related to tumor biology,” Hayden added. “So, we are trying to work very quickly to figure this out.”



  • What you did was a mistake.

    • You are not stupid. You are not crazy. You did something you wish you could change and are blaming yourself.

    • You have not ruined your life, but if you let this hang over your head, it will ruin things until you forgive yourself and move on.

    • If you can make things right (apologizing, asking for a second chance, etc.), do it. If you can’t get things right, then accept that you can’t fix the past, but you can fix today and the future by learning from your mistakes.

    • You’re not going to find another person like him. Just like YOU, he’s one of a kind. That does NOT mean there aren’t others you can have a happy relationship with. That also doesn’t mean there could be someone better out there who could make you happier. But if you wallow in self-pity, you might miss out on finding that person.
































  • The PDF states

    A quant designs and implements mathematical models for the pricing of derivatives, assessment of risk, or predicting market movements.

    As the knowledge necessary to perform such feats is not a part of the regular secondary-school math curriculum, facility with derivatives requires a level of quantitative (hence “quant”) training and skill confined to the mathematical specialist.

    Where can these specialists be found? For Wall Street, the breeding grounds of future quants are the halls of academe, and more specifically, graduate departments of physics, mathematics, engineering, and (to a lesser extent) finance and economics. The favored candidates are holders of the degree of PhD, but not exclusively so.

    I’m not sure why this would be posted to hacker news… it seems like economics or perhaps opportunities for graduate level mathematicians would be more appropriate…
