@Fury Oh my, what did you do to get your chat privileges banned? lol, I am glad that you are rebellious, a bad boy ;o)

Fury

@EllieKesselman , just catching a liar

Ellie Kesselman

@Arjun Yay, there you are, all done with your bath!

Can you tell me about it, catching the liar?

Are we safe here? I will not betray you. I am already in hot water with SE folks because I am not sufficiently politically correct.

The more they complain about my attitude, the grumpier I get!!!!

Fury

@EllieKesselman , me too!

@EllieKesselman , to complain i made many accounts, they banned all,

Ellie Kesselman

@Fury So you DO understand! I like your chat user name, Fury. That is perfect!

Fury

@EllieKesselman, what time is it there btw?

Ellie Kesselman

06:11

@Fury Oh dear Lord, that is so annoying for them to put you through that! But I know how it is now that SE has been overrun with Social Justice Warriors and Jeff Atwood is gone.

It is 2:11 AM here!

Fury

@EllieKesselman , yeah it's rebellious

@EllieKesselman , there is only one mod who i think is working properly, he's quid

Ellie Kesselman

I should go to sleep but I am not working as Corona-Chan has messed up everything in banking even in the United States

Is quid a Math SE mod, or on SO?

Fury

@EllieKesselman , mod on MSE, and math educators

double mod

@EllieKesselman , are you a banker/

Ellie Kesselman

@Fury There's a woman on Math SE who answers lots of questions well. She is Turkish or Indian and is a math educator somewhere in eastern Europe. I tried to be friends with her but that didn't work out so well.

I want to say her name is something like Balaji but that's a guy's name!

Yes, I am what's called an SR 11-7 banker in the US.

I do model risk mangement.

Fury

@EllieKesselman , that's a surname i guess

Ellie Kesselman

06:15

I validate models used in commercial and retail banking.

Fury

@EllieKesselman ,interesting way to make a living

Ellie Kesselman

I like my work. It is supposedly econometrics, but anyone with a clue about statistics and probability and applied math can do it. Not many people have a clue about any of those things though!!!

I used to work for Standard & Poor's, developing criteria for rating securities.

Fury

@EllieKesselman , that makes me eligible for it

Ellie Kesselman

I miss that. It all ended in 2008. There was fun math in that, stochastic processes and Markov chains and sometimes Monte Carlo simulation.

Yup, you could definitely do it if you know probability distributions, applied statistics, and either R or SAS or Python.

Fury

@EllieKesselman , after all the time?

that must be a good job

Ellie Kesselman

06:19

I don't like to code much, but SAS is still fun. I used Python for a little while at work, but when I didn't get much chance to use it every day, I forgot it.

One sec, I'll show you my "developer profile" on Stack Exchange Careers (I am not a developer lol)

brb with the link

Fury

@EllieKesselman , my junior is good with python and he's 13 or14 something

he tried to tech me, but i have a hard academic life

@EllieKesselman , yes please

Ellie Kesselman

@Fury It is kind of messy! Don't laugh stackoverflow.com/users/story/321143

Fury

@EllieKesselman , i have seen worse

Ellie Kesselman

@Fury I really don't like to program. I like analytical work much more than coding.
