Let $\left(X_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of mutually independent Rademacher random variables and $S_{n} = \sum_{j=1}^{n} X_{j}$. Show that, for every real number $\delta$, $\mathbb{V}\left(\delta S_{\lfloor 1/\tau \rfloor}\right)$ is equivalent to $\frac{\delta^{2}}{\tau}$, as $\tau$ tends to 0 from above.
