(11,254 posts)Renaissance is at war politically!
Hahaha!
We want Jim Simons on our side. He is smart enough to counter Cambridge Analytica! He and Mercer are the truly brilliant original data scientists - on opposing sides politically, but on the same side at Renaissance. Simons is the only guy that can fire Mercer, but Mercer is exceptionally talented and brilliant - too bad he is an asshole extraordinaire.
Just a couple days ago there was an article about another longtime Renaissance employee stirring the pot from the left against Mercer - said he hopes not to get fired, but couldn't stand what Mercer was doing to the country. Has been at Renaissance for 20 years, so he is super rich and has no need to worry, but good for him! Name was David Magerman - story on Bloomberg.
