* Get there at rope drop. The first 2 or 3 hours the park is open, you can basically walk onto many of the rides.

* Get to know the fast pass system and use it to full advantage. Later in the day, any of the big attractions you'll likely be riding through fast pass. Fill the rest of the time with food, street shows, and smaller attractions.

* Visit During the right time of year. The LA times article lists the best times.

As an AP holder, I end up going at all times of year. During the busiest times, arriving early, using fast passes, and tempering expectations makes it a fun Disney day. During the non busy times of year, no complaints.

There are many methods for calculating square roots [1]. The article explain the Digit-by-Digit with Decimal (base 10) method, I believe, and explains it quite well.

Works well for most companies that hire exclusively from top tier universities. They definitely miss out on some talent but unless they need thousands of engineers, they can find all talent they need from just a few top universities. Probably overpay 10k-40k/year for that privilege compared to equally skilled/smart people from other unis but it's chump change in overall employee cost. Also makes interviewing easier - rejecting 90-95% of applicants from lower tier state schools who could not fizzbuzz is not fun.
We're not a bootcamp, but your points are well-founded.

> But then one has to be $$ enough to afford to not work for the time it takes to get educated or re-educated

You're right: Not everyone can afford to not work for six+ months. We don't have a perfect solution for everyone yet. But it's much easier for most Americans to find a way to stay alive for 6 months than it is for them to find $10,000 lying around. Basic subsistence, especially with a tiny bit of help from a safety net of some sort is generally close to within reach, and if it's not we don't have a way to help yet.

For example, we had a student last week that has been living with a friend, and we learned she was so poor she couldn't afford a computer to code with, and had been using an old Android tablet and a cloud editor. We shipped her one, but for many "enough to stay alive" is much, much easier to find than some amount of cash.

> If we actually had a skills gap that needed filling why aren't these employers who are faced with such a gaping skills gap hiring people and training them themselves?

Well, some do. Others have ridiculous recruiters' fees that are enough to pay for student tuitions. This is true not just of alternatives to higher ed, but of colleges. Why doesn't Google also become Stanford? Probably because that's a lot of work and what we have is close enough.

To be clear, with regard to SWE, I don't think there's that big of a skills gap. It's not like there's a desperate shortage for junior rails semi-devs out there. But employers definitely hire folks and they definitely pay big recruiting fees and there's definitely demand.

> Why are bootcamp graduates from tier 1 camps struggling to find actual work in their field for months?

Other than the requisite time to get your first job (which is generally 3-6 months regardless), I haven't seen that any from tier one bootcamps struggling to find work for months. Probably three months on average, but that's pretty normal. Maybe we have a different understanding of "tier 1."

> Why are these camps reporting inaccurate or highly embroidered outcomes to potential students?

Because crappy bootcamps want to lie and make money.

I mean look, there's ITT Tech, which is a complete rip-off for the vast majority of people, but that doesn't mean college in general is a bad thing for everyone. Somehow, though, that's how non-university programming academies get lumped together - one bad bootcamp? This entire idea must be horrible! As with everything, there are shades of grey.
Choosing to be on the minority chain is not less profitable than choosing to be on the majority. If you sell your majority coins, you will sell them for majority price. As a result, you will end up owning more minority coins than you had originally, though the US dollar value should be about the same.

Profit comes from knowing how the markets will move before they do (and performing arbitrage), not from owning the asset that has the greatest market cap.
I think a unikernel+ProcOS is basically the same as a hypervisor+unikernel, except backwards. The main advantages would be less overhead (one unikernel, instead of N) and greater flexibility (because ProcOS can run on any OS without a VM).

The emphasis on cheap recursion (if it can be achieved) also has benefits like making administrative responsibilities easier to delegate, and preventing various isolation leaks (including scheduling fairness).
Same here... It would have been an interesting approach though with some significant privacy implications.
Surely you don't expect everyone living now to be still alive in 15 years? ;)

But yeah, it might just indicate that parent got the ballpark estimate wrong... Unix time is not the most human-friendly format.
Amazing is the price you paid for the screen. Maybe iPhone screens are in such high supply - but with modern Android smartphones, we're usually talking about ~$100 for the screen package. Whether or not you'll be able to replace that without specialized equipment depends on the manufacturer (I did one such repair myself on Samsung Galaxy S3 without problems, but with my S7 I'd have to first cut it apart - and Samsung phones are on the "more repairable" end of the spectrum...).

The reason we're talking about throwaway economy is because quite often, the parts that fail are not available in any reasonable quantity (phone screens, appliance motherboards), and paying for repair (or acquiring them yourself and doing the repair on your own) costs about as much as a new device. At which point most people rightfully ask, why bother?

Also, when comparing to 1960s - 1980s, one has to remember that it's not just that the devices were simpler then. They also often came with technical manuals, and they were intended to be home-repairable. OTOH manufacturers today seriously screw up repairability even when not necessary. I get that screens are best made as fully-integrated parts, but compare e.g. Kindle 3 Keyboard, which is as close as you get to swappable screen (pry it open, screw out some screws, pull the screen out...) vs. devices which are internally glued together, so that trying to take it apart risks destroying some components.

Cool stuff. But why would we want that?
Heh, yeah it's a bit excessive.

I took the audio recordings first, then processed the .wav files later via FFT. That's a good point though, but having the raw audio does let me play around with different techniques at a later date.

I will have to look into a sliding window, if that's what you mean though, because at the moment I'm simply looking at each chunk of N seconds of audio.

When I've tweaked the approach it would definitely be better to switch to the type of system you mention.
Although it's hard to make people believe in the value of money they think is worthless -- even with guns. Otherwise we wouldn't have had this many hyper-inflations throughout history. (Nevertheless many governments do not accept this fact and try -- and fail -- again and again.)
Given you know the market well, how would you find a cheap destination given two different places of departure?

For example, you live in country A and your special someone lives in country B, and you want to list countries C and airports in order of smallest sum of two return tickets.

Is there an api that flight search websites use, which you can get access to? Or are there already websites offering such a feature?
The joint venture is called BMW Brilliance, with the local partner being Brilliance Auto, which is arguably the worst of the worst Chinese automobile companies. I'd personally try everything possible to avoid anything from that Brilliance Auto. Sure, their joint venture with BMW is a slightly different story, BMW must have all its state-of-the-art quality control there. I also fully understand that the joint venture is there purely because the Chinese regulations requires such an arrangement. However, from a consumer's point of view, when buying an expensive car like BMW, why should I bear such risk to have the Brilliance Auto involved?

In case if you don't know what Brilliance Auto is doing in Shengyang, feel free to watch the video below.

Do Backlinks Affect App Store Rankings?
What do you guys think about it? In my tests I have not seen any potential increase.
Coins only have value if people accept them as valuable. The userbase ultimately decides whether or not they would accept payment via a certain coin.

If the userbase is not interested in a coin, it will not matter how much hashrate is behind the coin, or how many figureheads try to prop it up. That coin will not have value.
I'm totally outside the cryptocurrency world. Can anyone explain to me why anyone would invest in an organization like this? If what you say is true then the thing is so clearly set up to just be a money grab and nothing else that I'm baffled it works.

I don't understand why scams seem to work better with cryptocurrencies than with "normal" money. A scam is still a scam right? What am I missing?

In practice, what kind of people invest in these kinds of things? Are they VCs? Pension funds? Mobsters who need to whitewash?

I've always wondered if it's a viable wight loss technique. There must be a certain amount of energy that goes into blood production. And losing wight by sitting still for a while is the holy grail.

It's to do with the fact that the original implementors decided to apply this design pattern for the entire system, including places where it's not really useful like CRUD.

A lot of redundant plumbing in the code with classes mapped to other classes. The data structure they chose does not allow inheritance so there are a lot of classes that look exactly alike where sub-classes would be useful.

This notion of Command that generates an Event that generates more Commands that can generates more Events asynchronously with code for eventual consistency. Lovely concept but database records don't exist. You can't just query a database. You have to build your views based on playing back your events. I just find it completely confusing.

Frustrating as well because certain things that are trivial in an RDMS end up costing an incredible amount of development time in CQRS+Event Store. I must admit unfamiliarity with the architecture is definitely a factor - except that my predecessors wrote everything from scratch down to the JSON format of the data structure. One mistake and the microservices crash causing the data to be in an invalid state. In order to fix the data, you need to replay all the events - and there are millions of them. Nothing ever gets deleted because a 'delete' is a new event.

pffff ....
I don't know if I should feel sad about this, but I do feel sad about this. As others have mentioned, DBC was the first company in this industry, and their excellent execution seems to have been what led to so many other entrepreneurs becoming convinced that this concept could work; they really did a great service for people in this country who didn't graduate college with a hard-science / engineering degree. I considered going to a bootcamp back in February of 2013 (one year after DBC launched), met Shereef and his cofounder Jesse Farmer at their SF location, and left very impressed with what they had created and with them personally.
Why would I need that unless I work at a place where I'm forced to use Facebook?

Neat userscript though!
I think what the miners are afraid of, is that the power of the bitcoin network, leaves their hands and fall into the hands of second layer operators. At the same time, a higher blockchain size would make it less profitable for small miners, to mine bitcoin. Bitfury recently released an analysis, that predicts that 95% of current miners, would find mining to be unprofitable at blocksize of 8MB. This would further centralize profits and power over the protocol, with the big datacenter miners.
Or comments sections of forums or blogs etc.
Accessibility is more than just screen readers, too; e.g. there are OS-level settings for increased contrast and differentiation without color that are just about universally ignored on the web.
And who can afford to have $15,000 taken off the top of their salary between $51,000 and $100,000? I hope this graduate can find remote work and live in a tent in a national park campground nearby a major tech employment city with a killer public transportation system that reaches its public park campgrounds. There are actual bears on Bear Mountain by the way.

We have a couple of these sorts of projects happening for the Oric-1/Atmos line of computers as well .. its truly an awesome time to be into 8bit computing as an art form, because it doesn't look like these obscure platforms are going away any time soon.
What I have realized for myself tough is that being a developer, you need an avenue for mindless tasks. Unfortunately due to cultural programming and a good job on behalf of the creators, it is the social media sites, the productive yield of which is very low.

So, for myself atleast, I have realized that I cannot absolutely stop using these sites. The best thing to do then, is to replace it with another activity that is productive and similar. hackernews does a good job.

Some people mentioned reading an ebook that sounds better. Will try that as well.

I think gaming can be considered as well.
Actually, you would be either a 1.2 or 1.1-billioner. It's an order of magnitude less.
Different yes, but they only started looking into them in 2015. To claim that it would be a blocking factor for getting l3 cars operational in Oz is a stretch.
>> you can never protect its (gold's) value, since this will be diluted if someone else brings a lot of gold to market... Bitcoin prevents this by automatically adjusting difficulty.

It doesn't prevent it. If everyone decides to sell BTC now (including the big whales owning the major portion), it's price in USD will fall, too. How is this different?
Exactly. It's a pretty obvious concept, and I don't understand why I have to explain it to so many people in real life.

Particular context, in which I have to explain this often: when needing advice about which computer/phone/appliance to buy, never ever ask the salesman in the very store you'll be buying in. It's literally their job to give you bad advice - to suggest a deal good for the store, not for you.

I live in SE Asia (Thailand) and although I'm fascinated by China, my experience with Chinese tourists has turned me off visiting the mainland completely.

They are more often than not incredibly loud, rude and lack almost all basic human courtesy we take for granted in the west and even in asian countries like Thailand. They will push past you in queues, yell mandarin loudly in your face to others behind you, stand in the middle of the street blocking traffic, play videos on their phone speaker on full volume without using headphones - I could go on and on and on.

There's absolutely zero consideration for anyone but themselves and are, by a wide margin, the rudest tourists i've ever encountered anywhere.

I can't help but wonder if it's just the type Chinese tourists that visit Thailand and mainland China would be different, but its just not a risk i'm willing to take.
Well, save up some money on the coast, then move to (Western or Northern) Michigan some day and live like a king. Okay, eating out can be hit-or-miss (mostly miss), but some diamonds-in-the-rough do exist. Outdoors is great. I mean if ascending whatever-K feet is the only qualifier then outdoors sucks, but seriously everything else here, outdoors is great. Four seasons is like being able to annually travel between four completely different regions of the world without actually moving. And if you have a decent salary, get yourself some awesome snow moving equipment, just to feel cool.
FWIW Silicon Valley != San Francisco. When I worked in SF I'd say about half of my coworkers (the ones just out of college) all smoked weed frequently, took pyschedelics infrequently, and used stimulants on occasion.

That "Bitcoin is currently suffering from significant scaling problems" is the topic of debate.

SegWit was not created toward the end of increasing the blocksize, it was created to fix transaction malleability along with various other improvements. That it arranges the partitioning of witness data from transaction data to sort-of not count against the block size was a bonus, especially since a lot of dubious attempts at forking to a larger block size we're being given decent backing in terms of funds.

The point of fixing transaction malleability is that it allows for more robust smart contracts that depend on transaction validity. Once you enable these smart contracts, you start scratching at the surface of scaling methods that shift risk to the willing participants. As every Bitcoin transaction must be validated by every Bitcoin node, the entire network must inherit the risk of attempting to satisfy demand for transactions. Not just in terms of hardware requirements, but also in terms of the viability of paying for security of the network against a diminishing block creation subsidy.

The maintainers of Core, and plenty of other people in the Bitcoin community, see the scarcity of block space as a positive and as an inevitability. It's a positive in that it provides the incentive for security as the subsidy gets reduced, and inevitable as any 'spare' space in blocks can incentive superfluous transactions. There's plenty of development on the front of moving bitcoins between other chains with different consensus rules that would allow for better scaling, and for better development and testing of solutions that could eventually make their way to the main blockchain.

I'm personally of the opinion that once you allow for the transfer of bitcoins to and from second order chains, that Bitcoin can essentially enter a version freeze.
I have the same feeling.

However, keep in mind we're still far away from DotCom dimensions. NASDAQ back then was some 3 trillion around the top, all cryptocurrencies together are now 85 bn.

So if you ask me, there will be a ~50x increase and many more ridiculous ICOs until this thing comes crushing down.
> max theoretical is 86.8%

I recall hearing the theoretical max was somewhere around 36%, though it could well be my memory is faulty. I think this was from a video from around 2005. Is this "theoretical max" going up over time or do I misremember?
Not really. Money helps to get in, but elite universities provide the most generous financial aid of any schools in the country. If you come from a anything below the middle class and get in, you likely won't pay a cent.
Yep, I think I'm using memory that is not commercially available although I didn't know it before.
