What's the DUMBEST thing you've spent your money on?

Founder

Just curious, I would like to know what are some of the most uncommon ways people have made money.

Please don't say internships, jobs etc 

Let me go first : made a playlist of some niche focused videos on YouTube ( can't disclose the niche as of now )
Added the playlist link to a doc and 💥
Sold it on gumroad for some good $$ to a good no. of people. 

Your turn now

What's the craziest way you've made money ?

At start of 2020 was transitioning to a new job. Got FnF of 1.3L from prev. job in March of that year.  
  
 Unwittingly YOLOed all of it into crypto (ETH, MATIC, UNI). Over the next year it grew to ~85L. Withdrew all, paid taxes and put the lumpsum ~50L in mutual funds and FDs on dad's advice. Not gonna get lucky like that ever again.

What similar example comes to your mind?

What's the Dumbest Thing You've Ever Heard?

Heard about a legendary employee at Amazon who sold a bunch of Amazon stock years ago at a very small price to buy an expensive mattress that he really liked. 

Do you have any such crazy stock sell story?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

An actual dumb thing I said was at my first Data Science interview at a top tech company here in Bangalore. Interviewer asked me about my projects, and me being unpolished, I said that I had done a regression project. So he asked me how did I measure whether the model was "good".

I said that, "The accuracy of the model was high"

Interviewer responded with, "...You know Regression tasks are measured with MAE/MSE/RMSE and not accuracy, right?"

Lmao. You live and you learn. 🤡
