I am a broker and software engineer and am just now hearing of the LTSE. Is there a test or way to register through FINRA? Would be interested in taking part in this in both capacities.


Trading has to happen via a broker that is a member of the exchange (as is true for every other exchange). If you are part of a firm that would like to become a member, the information is here: https://longtermstockexchange.com/market/connectivity/


Ultimately I don't think this is what OP is saying. Just that white boarding leetcode/hackerrank algos isn't the best use of time, but I'll respond to the takeaways nonetheless because I have spent a lot of time on them:

1) By what metric? Also, who's we? I am a full-stack engineer and feel properly compensated if not over-payed given my expectations.

2) Leetcode has been extremely helpful. Not just in interviewing, but also in understanding how to have more granular control of space/performance. However, it is not the whole picture and I would point people to the famous coding university github: https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university and further push people to follow research and coders they admire such as Peter Norvig: http://norvig.com/


While I feel I've seen enough evidence to suggest that galleries are used to launder/manipulate the market, this writer's reasoning seems problematic. Her whole argument starts from a place of misunderstanding art entirely:

"You’d think the value of art would depend on its aesthetic value; a picture you enjoy looking at on your wall. How could a dismembered corpse artist be remotely successful? Yet these paintings were classified as desirable by the art market."

aesthetic value != "a picture you enjoy looking at on your wall"

and further, a corpse can't be enjoyable to look at?? (Picasso's Guernica, Caravaggio's Death of a Virgin...)

That'd be like saying the movie market is clearly manipulated because Blair Witch Project is the most successful indie of all time.


Engineer in St. Louis here. I live in a crazy nice walkable area of the city and pay $400/mo splitting a 3 story house with 2 others. There are plenty of very livable cities esp in the midwest perfect for saving/working on passion projects, only off-limit because they aren't seen as tech hubs or considered hip (These are the best guesses I have). Honestly I don't really understand why programmers (or anybody working mainly on a computer) aren't getting work from home and living in cheaper more livable places. Shrugs the lack of demand is sure favoring my lifestyle.
