I am upper middle class in NY, ama.

Single no kids 36 year old man living in NY, 1.38 mill net worth, this amount of money in NY is just basically comfortable, no lambo or anything like that. I made most of my money options trading, also saved a lot of money from working as a BI developer, bought a house on Long Island. I was born in china, came to US when I was 12. In the early days I slept on a floor in my moms NYC room, not even a full apartment because a room was all she could afford. Any ways, ask me anything that’s not too personal like what’s my SSN.

Feast your eyes onto my options gains

Long position at 55 and short at 125. I opened this position in early 2026, added more to it when the orange man invaded Iran, took some profits off the table later, so that’s why the cost basis is so low. My full account is worth $600,000, I started with $78,000 as a roll over from TD Ameritrade in nov 2023, made all that in profits including $130,000 total net withdraws from options trading in the past 3 years. You can leave your question in the comment section about options trading and I’ll answer the best I can.

Give inheritance to your self

Has any one thought of this yet? If reincarnation is true, then you can technically leave inheritance to your self in another life. Like bury some gold in some place only you know where it is. Then in another life come back and dig it up?

I’m grateful for all I have.

I’m grateful for all that God has blessed me with so far. My life is not perfect but life is not about wanting the things you don’t have but rather about appreciating the things you do have.

TIL that in the middle of WWII, the US figured out the japanese was going to attack midway because they let out an unencrypted message stating their water system is broken, and japanese came through with a message that says AF's water system is broken, leading americans to figure out where AF was.

which class to take for CS PHD Admission?

Hey all, I am looking for grad school admission advice, I appreciate all your help ahead of time. Here is my current situation, in the fall semester of this year I can choose to take 1 of 2 course, and I have to choose one that’s the best for my situation.

The school I want to take these course at is Boston university. Choice 1: cs 566 analysis of algorithms, choice 2 cs 248 discrete mathematics. My goal is to be admitted into a CS PHD program doing AI/ML Research.

Lets talk about my background, I am currently in BU MS in software development program, having already taken cs 526 data structures and algorithms and received a B+ in it. My undergraduate is from stony brook university, I dual majored in applied mathematics and statistics, second major is economics. I have taken a class called AMS 301 finite mathematical structures already, and it some what covered many of the discrete math topics, but it is not called discrete math, and I received a C in that class. Other requirements for a CS program such as programming I already taken 2 classes in it, one is java, and other is python. I also already covered all the math classes that would be required for a CS PHD such as calculus and linear algebra.

So which class out of those 2 should I take to be prepared fully for a CS PHD doing AI/ML research? If you need more background information on my self please ask I will update this post accordingly.

I am a Chinese American and I love the USA, AMA.

I am a 36 year old Chinese American living in NY, I came to this country when I was 12 to be with my mom who came earlier a few years. Not long ago me and my mom reached financial independence together by helping each other out. Such as we both had income, mom’s income was used to sustain us and my income was used for savings to pay off mortgage. We own a home together now and own 2 cars, no debt of any sort. I have made a good chunk of change in investments which should set me up nicely for early retirement. I am a millionaire now and so is she. I come to love this country because we were able to do all this not because we are smarter than any body else, but because in USA money is just easy, and the system is set up in a way that if you know what to do, you can easily get rich yourself no problem. Along with all the personal liberties USA comes with like gun rights and speech rights I find the living situation USA is the closest thing to heaven there is, there is no where else I rather be than here. I really come to love this country. God Bless y’all and the USA.

Tableau job market must be very good

hello all, i am a BI developer based out of NY, i have been working in Power BI for the past 5 years, just now my contract had ended so i went out to the job market again and some how snagged a tableau development role with only few years of tableau development experience back almost a decade ago. i asked gemini which role paid more around the tri state area PBI or tableau, gemini told me tableau paid a little more, if it was the case there were alot of supply of developers for roles the salaries would have been lower but instead its actually higher, all of this informs me that the Tableau developer job market must be pretty good right now, most likely better than PBI.

I lied on my resume and landed a low six figure job just now, AMA

So I make up experience on my resume and pretend to have 15 years of experience when I have just 5 or so. Landed a low six figure job, they are so lousy with background checks they didn’t even check where I went to school nor any job references, they just wanted criminal history and a drug screen. Lucky for me. This is how you get ahead in life, lie and cheat ladies and gentlemen.
