There's also a great podcast interview between David Axelrod and Steve Kerr from several weeks ago:

http://podcast.cnn.com/the-axe-files-david-axelrod/episode/a...

Axelrod goes into Kerr's background, his reaction to the assassination of his father, etc. really great listen in my opinion. It's always fascinating to see someone who's in an expert in one field (pro basketball), have such a good understanding of something entirely different (Middle Eastern politics).
We have similar clients. They insist every app must have at least 5 different analytics/ad providers and god knows what else.

I was honestly kinda looking forward to January because it would force them to re-evaluate some of the shittier providers so they could get app updates out.
But this is exactly what the index operator is doing. When you write (for example)
arr[0]
The compiler is re-writing your code as:
*(arr + 0)

Since addition is commutative, you can also write arr[0] as 0[arr].
I believe what the parent if your comment was trying to say was something similar to this, albeit poorly:

I hate Golden State. They're an eminently villainous team: overconfident and insufferable. (This can also be said of many of their fans -- most of whom I suspect had not called themselves a Golden State fan until 2013 -- and their owner, who described their organization as 'light-years ahead' of the competition because they had the good fortune to sign Curry to the best contract in the NBA due to his reputation as injury-prone.)

I can't hate Steve Kerr. He's self-deprecating, he's insightful, and he's fun. He's spoken passionately about basketball, obviously, as a coach and player and commentator, but his use of his platform is truly admirable. The sports world needs more people like him.

Largely speaking, it's becoming easier and easier for me to watch the NBA instead of the NFL, if for no other reason than I don't feel guilty about it. As more evidence piles up that American football devastates the human body and mind, it disgusts me a little to watch owners, GMs, and coaches avoid talking about "the world beyond the gridirons" as much as possible.

Contrast this with figures in the NBA like Kerr, Gregg Popovich, and even the commissioner Adam Silver (who handled things like Donald Sterling and the All Star Game in Charlotte very well), and it just feels better to be a fan -- and I hope the coming generation of aspiring athletes feel the same way. (This is not to diminish the great job that players like Lebron, Carmelo, and Cousins have done off the court to improve their communities and speak out about issues, but I think the calculus is a little different as a player.)

[EDIT -- I forgot to include perhaps my favorite Steve Kerr moment, the speech he gave after his game-winning shot in Game 6 of the '97 finals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOCcd-iAljI]
If efficiency is not an issue, I definitely think self-sufficiency is something worth striving for. Makes you less dependent on outsiders. You're not suddenly in trouble when you get isolated, and because you don't strictly need anything from the outside, outsiders hold no power over your village, making it less likely to be exploited in unfavorable deals. Self-sufficiency would go a long way to addressing structural inequality.

I found the linked article on [domain fronting][0] to be very interesting.

TL;DR: CNBC either doesn't know how to value companies, or is using a 50% discount rate. Either of these is concerning.

Disclosure: I'm using data from their 2015 Annual reports[0]

Valuing the stock requires at least 2 subjective metrics to be defined by the investor: The discount rate (similar to what return you could get on the next-best-investment) and the duration you think the firm will operate. This is because the value of the stock represents the present value of all future cash flows the entity will earn over its life.

On their balance sheet [1] they have about 6 bn worth of assets, 2 bn worth of liability and 4 bn worth of equity. They have enough cash and short term investments that if they wanted to, they could pay off all of their liabilities, and be left with property, intellectual assets and other tangible items of value, worth about $4bn. With about 715 million shares outstanding, the value of their company as a whole right now would be about $5.6 per share.[2] But, that's not the whole story - we need to figure out the discounted cash flows.

So first, how long do we expect twitter to last? Well, in their 2015 annual report they had a 143% increase in ad-engagement and a 41% decrease in the cost-per-ad. This tells us that they're getting more and more efficient, and at the very least, still in demand.[3] With about $2bn cash on hand, we can figure that they're in a position to buy out any early-stage competitors in the near future, so can we agree that they can last at least 5 years? Awesome, now which discount value should we use? Well if you're not investing in twitter, perhaps you could get 10% investing in other tech companies. But for the purposes of this example, let's say you're REALLY good, and can grab a 20% return on your investments.

So now we do a net present value calculation. Twitter has had ~2 bn worth of revenue per year. A 20% discount on $2bn every year for the next 5 years is about $6 bn. $6bn divided by 715 million shares = $8.37 per share, plus the $5.6 it's worth today gives us about $14 a share - still 40% more than what CNBC suggests, but a little less than what it's valued at today, although remember that this assumes an outrageous 20% discount rate. A more realistic return would be 10%, which would put us in that $16/share range.

So if anything, I would say Twitter is slightly undervalued. They're operating more efficiently than ever, and have taken huge steps towards making the necessary changes to bring about transformation change. They may fail, of course, but to say that the stock isn't even worth $10 is completely absurd (since to get $10 per share they'd have to use a 50% discount rate and only discount 3 years). At least if you invest in Twitter you can have a reasonable chance at getting your money back within the next few years. Their incredible liquidity and fair valuation is attractive, and the potential upside is not encapsulated in the share price as of now.

Automation is "changing the world" provided you're finding excuses for why there are fewer jobs with worse pay that exculpate the 1%.

Suddenly the American oligarchy loses its faith in automation once you discuss potentially inflationary increases to public spending.

If we really are in an automation renaissance public spending could be ramped up massively and the potentially inflationary impact would be offset by all of the cost savings from replacing people with robots.

If.

Referrals from your friends do little to nothing at those companies. At Microsoft, for instance, all it does is assign a "handler" to the applications you put in. They just let you know if anyone is looking at them. Which, as you can imagine, is useless.

Almost no one, except for maybe very high level hires, get a pass for the initial weed-out interviews.
I definitely agree: the overuse of techniques like logistic regression in introductory courses without sufficient mathematical background and context can lead to a "plug and chug" culture where the technique is applied without proper understanding of its assumptions and limitations.

Anyone can be quickly taught how to run a logistic regression by calling one line of code from a high level library. But I'd argue it takes years of study to really know what you're doing.

My sense of every recruiter I've interacted with is that they have made a few deals with specific companies and they are just trying to sell me on them. Like a travel agent who only sells trips to a handful of specific resorts.

As a foreigner living in the U.S., I have to admit this obsession with leaving your parents house kinda baffles me.

I'm from Brazil, and despite nearing my thirties, back home the majority of my friends live with their parents and it is hardly seen as a big deal. I think a big driver of this shift is the fact that in the U.S. it is extremely common for one to leave for college, whereas in Brazil literally 100% of my friends who went to school in the country resided with their parents while they were in school.

One of the things that most attract me about the U.S. is the fact that opportunity and mobility is so rampant, and you have people crossing the country for jobs and a different life. That is a superb thing. But what I never, ever understood is seeing young friends of mine who get jobs in their hometowns but who stubbornly "move out" even if they are barely making enough to survive. In terms of lifetime earnings, those few thousand dollars a month that go to a stranger for rent are so, so valuable.

Another point this statistic does not take into account is that the current generation of "parents" are also on average better off than their parents were. The prospect of "living with the parents" would have seemed worse for my father than it did for me. I get that there are economic forces "forcing" kids to stay home, but I'm sure there is also a genuine shift in preference as well.
Sure. Most places of earth, you can say that about. But let's make sure we're anchoring things well and not moving the goalposts: the comment I was responding to claims that "most" of the people in the area are "actual junkies". To that, I say "no" and "bullocks".

My experience does not jive with this article. After many years of preferring Linux on the laptop, I am going back to the Apple ecosystem. With the right apps my iPad Pro is a great productivity device and after getting used to the keyboard my MacBook is just fine for local software development (I also use a 16 core 60GB VPS for a lot of my work). A bonus is that I feel that Apple has more respect for users' privacy since their business model is independent of collecting user data.
One book that I've read recently that really stands out is Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces by Manfredo do Carmo. It's a bit outdated, and at times hard to read, but it has a lot gems that aren't well know (there is a bit at the beginning on estimating the length of a curve by counting the number of intersecting lines).

I'd recommend it if you're looking for some math reading.

The relevant paper describes it as "mostly-parallel, mostly-generational". The idea is that it works like traditional tri-color mark and sweep collector, but white objects stay white between partial collections unless they are modified (ie. reside on memory page that was modified and thus caused memory access trap). In essence it seems to me that difference between generational and incremental/parallel mode lies only in what causes white objects to revert to black (ie. if it happens after each sweep (incremental) or only when sweep does not produce enough free memory (generational)).
Quite a few... but the best one was "Grit" by Angela Duckworth. It could be categorized as a self help book since it deals with personal growth and persistence - but from the point of view highly regarded researcher in psychology.

I highly recommend this book since it's good on so many levels.

Unlike quackery books into self improvement, her book describes her research and journey into human achievement using the scientific method.

As a past student, I can tell you that they definitely sell you a much lower number. They also get you to focus on "tuition" and not overall costs. Costs rises a lot due to books they try to force you to buy, food, and housing. Your first year is required to be on campus if you're from out of state. It's a crazy world out there.

Very good points! However I feel like if you speed the hireing process up too much many candidates will walk home without the impression of having to achieved something bigger. Shure, you should not waste too much time, but greater upfront effort will make the candidate feel like he has actually achieved something if he gets the offer. And this in return may increase the likelyhood of him or her accepting the job.
The point I am telling you may be hard to explain, but in a nutshell I just want to say that you should try to increase the value of getting an offer by increasing the time frame between first contact and final offer just a little, for instance by having an extra meeting/screening/etc. in between.
Hard to assess that risk. No modern plant has had catastrophic failure like that. Essentially there's no data to extrapolate from.
I've spent the whole year reading Albion's Seed, a history of four major British migrations to America - each came from a different part of Britain, and went to a different part of America, creating four separate cultures in what became the United States.

I guess no-one (or fewer people) were testing that configuration. I wonder if you could use a VM or similar to at least test the upgrade before you do it. I do quite a bit of cleaning before an upgrade, but hitting the button to 'do it' is always a bit of a stressful moment!

I live less than two hours west of DC, yet my only connectivity options are a 1.3Mbps DSL link or a ~128Kbps 1x/RTT cellular link. This is pretty normal for West Virginia and other mountainous and rural places in the US. The DSL link isn't too bad as long as I obsessively block all ads and trackers, never stream anything, and reset the router if I've pushed too much traffic through it. If I'm careful about managing TCP connections and very patient, I can get by with the 1x/RTT link; it's slow but steady.

I doubt the flood-securing work is avoidable. But maybe it could be less bad.

Rather than nuclear, which lends itself to big government, corruption, corporate projects, bond issues, and taxes, I'd prefer to see money instead poured into acceleration of the spread of solar, which is less centralized and easier to spread to all kinds of places. Sure, not everywhere, but the potential is pretty untapped.
I followed a gulp tutorial, continued using it. When webpack came out, the gulp community seemed like it's was just as alive as before. When webpack came out I didn't rewrite all my gulp code to webpack. I'm not sure how you got different results.
Well, that is literally exactly what is happening. Recruiters generally don't contact you about a position/company unless they have a requisition (request from the company to fill an open position) with that company, which also requires a Master Services Agreement (general contract that allows the agency to work with the client company). A much smaller percentage of good recruiters will sometimes find a great candidate, and "market" that candidate to companies that they do not currently work with, as a way to get their foot in the door. But when they do that, hopefully they are up front about it, and not lead you to believe they have an actual MSA and open req with that company yet.

"All the strong political opinions I had as a twenty year old came from books. Now, as a 37 year old, most of it comes from personal experience"

This could just as easily be spun as a negative. I.e. Anecdotal evidence & self-interest driven opinions vs dispassionate analysis based on systematically obtained data.
My Opinion Only: If you are going to an Ivy League school you are paying for the network / brand. If you are going to a lesser tier selective school you are paying for outcomes. But the outcomes, I believe, are starting to lag the price. At the school I work for about 65% of the students get some financial aid and we are need blind and meet 100% of demonstrated need. They meet need with grants (think scholarships) and a tiny amount of student debt. We do limit student loan debt to a small cap but many schools don't.

I'm not the best at selling the points because I went to a technical public university and got a BS and a MS in Chemistry and Environmental Engineers. Today I am a self taught CS guy.

Option A...I guess.

Seems quite bond heavy though. If you have a choice, 60/40 stocks/bonds (preferably global, equal-weighted vs cap weighted for the stocks to take advantage of the higher growth of small and mid caps).

Let me say something about Option B: Being a landlord is not passive. There are many young people here, some who have made some good money, that buy and rent property. If they describe it as easy it's because they likely haven't owned the property long enough to have to pay for big maintenance projects, or long enough to have had bad tenants.

Investments are an efficient machine, and they don't produce easy money. The long-term real returns on real estate are steady and low. TINSTAAFL. Any advantages come from being able to leverage a down payment with a mortgage, which may or may not be possible for a rental property.

The price is going to depend on a lot of factors. For example, an education in civil engineering or medicine, with extensive equipment-heavy labs, is going to be more expensive than an education in history, which really only needs a library and maybe some field-trips if you want to get fancy.

I have noted too that I have a 7 year cycle. Work objectives, social circles and wildly altering life events(illness & injury) have altered my future objectives every 7 or so. My idealistic outlook has been eroded through experience and my 45yo values are almost 180° from what young & hungry me thought was most important(or, programmed through combo of pop media, peer pressure & raging hormones). The one thing that hasn't changed is my politics: PoliSci's pigeon-holing me into one club or the other never felt right and regardless which candidates win, their un/semi/fully-fulfilled promises reveal their true direct impact upon my life(approaching 0%). Life keeps progressing despite the distracting circus show's results for better & worse.

I wish 11yo me had discovered Clarke & Sagan before Gene & George, but as they say: that's life.
