I was actually there. Jared is an R-guy at a Python conference, so a fish out of water. Back then he was an adjunct professor at Columbia under the demi-god of Bayesian Statistics, Professor Andrew Gelman. He has led New York's R meetup for years. He is actually a very humble, crazy smart, accomplished, published and witty person. He devotes a lot of his valuable personal time to the open-source community.

I watched through the whole thing using subtitles... respond if you thought that was necessary and if your an economist

Even after 4 years the Slides are still out of sync. But it's been 4 years already so I don't think they're going to re-upload anytime soon.

[@Jarihopkins]

Really good stuff, but the slide sync is really bad. =/

[@shantanusood1989]

Would have been a great watch, but completely spoiled by the slides being out of sync. What was the point of putting this up with out of sync slides?

Actually the topics are not that complex but his way of explaining surely is.

Indeed, whole finance or "quant" is makeup simple mathematics.
