The article should not have delved into this as its a can of worms - stick with the industry, programming and math.

Its funny that the article uses a “chess champion” and a “concert pianist” as examples to to argue that you don’t question their occupations when it comes to being a benefit to mankind or not. I mean, the huge fucking salaries, where does the money come from? from fucking trees?

WTF! Seriously? I predict this will be one of the first article/HN post that has negative publicity for Jane Street .

For some reason articles on hedge funds bragging about intellectual abilities if their employees always seem to invoke these professions (chess champion, concert pianist).

I'm still waiting to see them bragging about having top proctologists in their team ;)

They tend to be on the regulatory side.
