Can you imagine what soul sucking despair you would be feeling if you chose the PhD path and you had to look on and even participate in this terminal decline of academia? I feel for those anons...

You ought really to grandmother me in to the paywalled stuff.

I'll read what I can with great enthusiasm and cannot fault your marketing plan.

"Another possible reason to fuge the code/data is… ideological?"
typo: fuge -> fudge
also:
"The whole field of academic finance just kind of… silly."
there should be an "is" in there I think
