For years, gold medals had been the norm for the U.S. women's gymnastics team (often by massive margins).
Yesterday's silver at world championships proved the U.S.'s standing has changed: Tight competitions & tense final moments might be the new reality.

"The U.S. women’s gymnastics team, long the sport’s most dominant force, is no longer unbeatable."

Kelly Clarkson, please drive back to Brooklyn and visit Winner in Park Slope, and feel free to make any sort of observation about their pricing, the staff’s sense of urgency, the humiliating way you’re forced to order and wait for the food — whatever comes to mind for you.

Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates
