The closest thing might be the bloomberg terminal. It costs 2k a month, but you can get a news feed of the topics you care about and it will be accurate and factual. And then peopl…

Regarding attracting a newer generation: appearances are important! The first image on the page should not have people sitting on a toilet in what is obviously a bathroom. It's kin…

Jane Street only gets mentioned so often because it is one of the highest paying and selective companies in the world. They are not in control of the ecosystem. And they have nothi…
