We feel the same way. As you have said, we use abstractions to hide complexity in text-based source files, like modules, functions etc. We do the same in the visual form. Every node in Luna is just a function, so you can "dig inside" it (by double clicking it) and see how it is defined. We hide complexity just by "collapsing" nodes together :)

>>Timing the market

>Doesn't always work

Thats putting it lightly, you're describing some form of survivorship bias. If it were that reliable and simple the major active fund managers could score reliable index-beating returns just off of Nov-Dec.

As it turns out, rules like that don't work, which is why passive index funds inevitably win out over attempts to time the market.
> For the first 3 to 4 years, the complaint about Git was it was so different and hard to use. About 5 years ago something changed

It's still hard to use IMHO, once you deep dive into it, the complexity start to rise up to the point where a complete reset of the repo is required but anyway "what changed" is that Google Code close and suddenly every svn backed project looked for alternatives, the easiest one being "git" since it has a compat API for svn repos, later Jr's started learning git at school and ditched svn et al and now everyone chooses git for default, not because its great, but because everyone is using it and GitHub exploded in popularity due to "social coding" being the norm.

> although there currently are just over 42,000 high schools in the United States, only 2,100 of them were certified to teach the AP computer science course in 2011.

This boggles my mind. Only 5% of high schools are even certified to teach CS?

I wonder if this could be addressed at the state level. Why couldn't California mandate a more Russian style approach - perhaps even with an entirely new exam and curriculum since the CS AP exam doesn't appear to cut it.

Computer Science is just as important as language skills now, we need to start acting like it.

The response to that has always been that if they can stay afloat until autonomous vehicles arrive, they can cut costs to the point where they're profitable. Beyond that, with the driver costs out of the picture, the cost of an autonomous ride would actually be below the per-mile cost of driving your own vehicle to the point where Uber would ride a wave of decreased individual ownership and reliance on car-hailing services.

The WayMo lawsuit, in which Google appears to have a pretty airtight case, has destroyed that hope. It's the Carpathia radioing that they're 4 hours away. There's no help coming and the Titanic is going down.

Now all these shifts are likely still going to happen. A seemingly cogent analysis I came across recently [1] breaks down the costs and strongly argues for a future where individual vehicle ownership is the departure from the norm rather than the default that it is today. But it just won't be Uber that cashes in on it. Or, more accurately, it won't be the current Uber. If Uber goes down in flames, their carcass will be plucked and someone, perhaps Google in the lawsuit settlement, will come away with Uber's brand and logistics platform that can be paired with self-driving technology to achieve Uber's vision.

Headline choice is perfectly fine. Not only is it 100% accurate, but it's also the germane information that leads to the following statement:

> This would obviously be a strong piece of support for Waymo’s case, since it establishes a timeline in which Uber was aware of Levandowski’s alleged actions even prior to finalizing their acquisition of Otto, which would in turn mean that Uber can’t claim to be completely separated from Levandowski’s actions.

I guess it depends on how you define "throwing mud and seeing what sticks." To me, that implies a lack of investigation and recklessness as to the truth. "Your honor, the Defendant cheats on his wife! What's my basis for that allegation? I mean, it could be true, so let's depose him and find out!" That will get you sanctioned. In contrast: "Your honor, the Defendant cheats on his wife! We have a hotel maid that saw a woman enter his hotel room while he was traveling on business and leave the next morning." That's a plausible allegation that may or may not turn out to be true, depending on other facts.

Off the top of my head, a lot of the problem areas aren't in the city, though they're close. Braddock, Clairton, Neville Island (with particulates floating over to Avalon) all come to mind as places with pollution-y manufacturing, and they're all outside the city limits.

If the app's coverage goes all the way through Allegheny County my point is diminished, though.

My recollection of how Bitcoin turned out indicates that most of those people will not make money. That, in fact, the simple rules of how markets work mean that most cannot make money, on several counts:

* Those with resources will have an edge, and will buy an optimal number of GPUs to get return before the price is driven down

* Anyone without resources will not be able to mine quickly enough to get a return before the price is driven down

* If the market were still lucrative, the GPU makers would not be selling all of their stock, which means it is a near certainty that either the GPU makers or someone with connections has already snapped up a healthy share

* Worse, the more lucrative it is, the more quickly ASIC makers will release ASICs which make those GPU investments all but worthless for mining.

All of this means that anyone contemplating whether they should get into mining already has their answer: "no".
It's also a way making me feel like I'm going to have a seizure every time they do a horizontal pan.

We are not going to compile to C, however we will to LLVM IR (not directly though). During the first release we will provide Luna interpreter (so yeah, some kind of custom VM). We are however already working on the backend that compiles Luna to Haskell's GHC Core (https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/Co...), which then gets different functional-programming related optimizations and translates to LLVM IR.

The argument of the 10-part series they put out on Uber is that main expense is the actual transportation, and you can't achieve meaningful economies of scale, which is the reason that livery services never expanded beyond regional monopolies previously. Relatively speaking the software is a commodity (and traditional taxi services remain competitors to Uber anyway -- likely more attractive in many cases if you take away the subsidized price difference).

If you want to get into something interesting (from a historical perspective) - these watches can be found rather inexpensively:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raketa

Look for ones with mechanical movements prior to 1990 or so (?); they were one of the last (or maybe the last) company making mechanical analog movements (non-quartz) long after every other watch manufacturer switched. Eventually, they had to switch too, but like 30 years later.

There's a story (pretty sure its true) of the czar buying a failing Ohio (?) watch maker, lock stock and barrel; literally, they bought the entire company and employees, and moved the employees to Russia to teach them how to make mechanical movement watches - and that continued on through the Soviet era.

But with glasnost, etc - that came to an end - and quartz took over.

I recently purchased one of these watches - it was fairly inexpensive (about $70.00 USD); it was a Lunokhod commemorative watch - with a 24 hour movement, and an orange face.

In many cases, you can get these watches as "New-Old Stock" - because non-quartz movements fell out of fashion, and the old stock just sat unsold. But now, with collectors learning about these watches, and the want for mechanical movements, they've come back. But because so many exist, they are still fairly inexpensive to find and own (even the really old versions of such watches).

I would qualify the Hyperscan engine as "JIT". Not a traditional, but practically. It's dynamic architecture-optimized superfast bytecode, but much more native than a normal platform-independent bytecode.

Yes, pypy and v8 also have a jit, but not usable as library. ruby extracted their regex library, so I could use it also. pypy and v8 did not.
Unfortunately it looks like you had a perfect storm of

1) Large order sent to market

2) Exchanges with a serious lack of liquidity

3) stop loss orders making things worse.

Everyone has their personal pet peeves, mine is stop loss orders. It's one of the 3 things that amateurs tend to use with out any understanding of markets. The other two being use of margin, probably doesn't need any explanation, and trading currencies/currency pairs.

In today's markets, stop loss orders are like market orders........

Your implementation seems complicated. The regular expression "foo(bar|quux)*" denotes a set of strings: { "foo", "foobar", "fooquux", "foobarbar", "foobarquux", "fooquuxbar", "fooquuxquux", ... }

Since this is anchored to the right, we can look at this from right to left: it's any mixture, including empty, of "quux" or "bar" elements, preceded by "foo". From this, a very simple algorithm pops out:

while (string does not end with "foo") {
if (string ends with "quux")
chop off "quux" from end of string
else if (string ends with "bar")
chop off "bar" from end of string
else
return "no match"
}

return "match"

I spend a lot of time in clients' ios apps which were developed by other contractors long ago and then I'm asked to fix bugs and add new features. I think this would help me save a lot of time.

Not sure if there are many others who would like to see it, but I know I would definitely appreciate it.
I really wish that Valve would move past the idea of controllers altogether. A controller with buttons will always necessarily constrain you to thinking about gameplay and experiences in terms of what has been done for 2D games, rather than freeing designers to build novel mechanics. The only true solution for VR is cloth gloves with perfect finger tracking. As someone who has spent thousands of hours in VR, anything else becomes extremely clunky and annoying to use long term. Something along the lines of ManusVR (https://manus-vr.com/) is definitely the way forward.

On the research frontier, this is pretty much true. But, for what it's worth, I'm spearheading some machine learning efforts at my current company, and most of my initial production models have not been deep networks but rather classical approaches like boosted trees or SVMs. Actually, gradient boosted trees in particular are one of the most powerful general-purpose models out there, and there are some really fantastic distributed implementations available now that routinely win Kaggle competitions (xgboost, Spark MLLib's version).

I will note though that the problems I'm tackling do not involve any image processing or recognition. Convolutional networks really have completely dominated that area both in research and practice in the last few years.

That's a great point. Fundamentally, if you look at something like a CNN, what it's really doing is producing a feature descriptor based on the input image. One can easily use that feature descriptor in a classic SVM, alongside (or instead of) SoftMax.

I'm an MBA and I just don't see the value of business schools preparing students for startups. The MBA skillset is only valuable at a certain maturity level. Before you hit that level focus on engineering/product/sales, not finance and strategy. I don't think MBA programs teach engineering management well and they aren't particularly good at teaching sales.

I kind of agree with the old idea that you deduct $1M off the valuation for each MBA a startup has on board. In all honesty, there's just not going to be a lot for an MBA to do at a startup.

Now to be clear I'm using the word "startup" in a strict sense meaning a company that's come into existence recently. An 8 year old multi-billion dollar behemoth is not a startup in my book.

Think of an MBA as a two year immersion program in the language of the C-suite. If you're just starting out you really don't need to learn that language. Instead focus on product/market fit, good engineering, and sales. Sure, MBA programs claim to teach all those skills - but I just don't think they're good at it.

An MBA program is good at teaching you strategy, finance & accounting, and maybe some types of business analytics (if you take those electives). And it's definitely good at teaching you corporate politics (perhaps it's biggest benefit), but you don't need to know corporate politics -just startup politics, which are a different beast altogether.

I disagree with the idea that self-driving cars will have the same commodity issue as today's car ride services. How could a significant decrease in operating expenses not increase the profit margin?

Let's put it this way - if you had the choice between paying 1/5th of what you pay now for the cheapest ride available, or half what you pay now for a ride in a nicer, cleaner car that picks you up within seconds, which would you pick? My guess is that with those choices, more people won't pick the cheapest option available.
