Wow this is a blast from the past. I remember watching this in college around 2008 or so, and it leading me to apply for their internship program. I guess as marketing material it worked! I didn't get the job, and don't…
Yeah it seems pretty unrealistic to expect Intel to catch up to the NVIDIA and AMD duopoly on their first generation of (modern) cards. Intel seems to have rightly recognized that the driver advantage is a huge moat for…
Hard to extrapolate from just what you've said here, but: - This level of anxiety, especially if you experience it in other settings, doesn't sound normal and you might well benefit from some combination of medication…
IIRC the level after running the water for 5 min in the morning was around 1 PPB, so not high enough to freak out about, but not zero. I just generally assume that I should not give my kids water straight from the tap,…
Not only that, but it's really difficult to get the service line replaced even if you're willing to pay for it. We went through the exercise a few years ago. It can be difficult to find a plumbing service willing to do…
Not to mention that AED's are more prevalent in public spaces these days. If you can provide CPR _and_ use the AED the chances of survival increase dramatically.
Personally I will always look through side projects or a GitHub if it's on a candidates resume. It's another source of signal and can be really valuable especially if there is code to look through. That said as the role…
Interesting reading through all the negative comments here. Maybe this is an indictment of the state of the web, but it seems to clearly solve a problem a lot of people have. Also have to imagine the long term vision is…
I don't like this solution either, but kind of weird to see defending / explaining away ghosting as normal in some of these posts. When I'm involved in the hiring process I've always approached it from the angle that…
The payment for order flow piece is a little confusing as presented in the press release, but the actual SEC order makes this a little clearer: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2020/33-10906.pdf Basically there are…
Curious if any FAANG employees know if this kind of thing is still standard above a certain level, or does say "staff" level and above tend to be internal promotions only? I guess the pay is phenomenal but I have a hard…
We've tried to continue patronizing independent bookstores during the pandemic, but it's not surprising they are struggling (our favorite recently closed). The value-add over Amazon was always the warm atmosphere,…
Take a look at this: https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/t... At the end of the day though, the allocation prior to trading starting in the secondary market is almost entirely discretionary on the…
Not the OP but you get tuned into this pretty quick going through the normal gamut of kid issues. The _worst_ cry I've heard our son do was when he had a double ear infection, it was immediately obvious from the shrill…
HFT market maker here (my views are my own), there are some consequences that immediately fall out from periodic batch auctions like this. 1. There will still be a race to update your entry in the auction as close as…
What is the actual attack vector here for taking advantage of incorrect voter rolls? Just that it's easier to vote more than once by mail than in person? Where I am in IL you don't need to show photo ID to vote, so the…
I've seen a lot of people on social media tout a 0.5-1% death rate as if that's inconsequentially low, which is baffling to me. 0.5% of the US population is 1.6 million people. Even if you make a lot of optimistic…
Great move by Twitter. It's a big lift to move from mostly in-office to 100% work from home, so if you've done it successfully it seems like a no-brainer to retain that option as a perk post-pandemic. Personally cutting…
IMO the severity of the situation and the economic fallout has become more clear over the weekend as more states have issued broad orders regarding school/restaurant/bar closures and limits on public gatherings.…
USO is probably the biggest, most liquid one available in the US. Almost all of these funds will hold some combination of cash, short term debt and oil futures, with the ratios depending on their target leverage.…
The brush attachment is actually quite good on rugs/carpet, but most of our house is hardwood or tile. The hard floor attachment we have is basically a soft roller that is supposed to sweep debris backwards and funnel…
I'm not quite sure how the terms / licensing for this works, but anecdotally OSE, SGX, TOCOM, BrokerTec and at least the derivatives business in Hong Kong all run on some variant of Nasdaq technology.
FMV is pretty neat but there are scenarios where it's not ideal, so I'm not surprised to see it not used in what is meant to be a lightweight high performance library. Notably the fact that the dispatching is done at…
Yeah, it seems like this would be better served to be split into two (or more) courses if you're assuming almost no prior knowledge. "Software Engineering" is a pretty ill-defined term, but I'd generally think of it as…
Regarding the direct listing, I wouldn't view that as a negative - sounds like they had no need to raise additional capital, but wanted to provide liquidity to their investors and employees. They've raised a _lot_…
