Interesting. I feel both ways about it.

On the one hand, if those scraps are enough to live on (and educate my children and so on), it's fine with me because it's enough.

On the other hand, the economy as a whole is so much healthier with vigorous participation by the 99%.

But maybe that's all a fallacy -- if the economy truly becomes driven by the 1%, then maybe there can't be enough for the 99%?
For the prototype, I just put my data into some json files. Connecting to some kind of database would be my next step if I continue on with it. Probably would use SQLAlchemy.

I'm a bit of a REST newbie and so some concepts (esp HATEOAS) are still a bit blurry. I would probably take a little time to dig into just what goes into a well-structured REST service.

Yeah, you're totally right. Running an ER has huge fixed costs. Running an ER will inevitably have huge fixed costs because emergencies are, by definition, unexpected so they have to be ready for anything.

In most of the developed world those fixed costs are amortized over everyone, in the form of government subsidies of one sort or another. It's like the police or the fire department; everyone chips in some, via taxes, to keep the service running whether they currently need it or not.

In America, however, we amortize them over everyone who comes into the ER. That's good for the guy who never needs medical attention: he gets all the peace of mind of having state of the art care a phone call away for free. It's good for the lady who rolls in at 3am with a gunshot wound: she gets her very elaborate lifesaving care for only a few percent over the marginal costs. It really sucks, though, for the guy with a dislocated thumb: he's forced to either massively cross-subsidize both the other patients or to forgo necessary but relatively simple care because of the huge expense. That guy doesn't need to believe the system should be free to have a valid complaint that he, personally, is getting screwed over by it.

Maybe, but remember IPFS nodes can elect to blacklist any given channel, so any given static C&C site here is just as vulnerable as a DNS point or a given static IP address.
Anecdotal, but I have been walking to work for the past 2 months and it helps a lot. I get around 12km of walking and 2 hours of exercise out of it.

It has helped a lot to balance my sleep as well since I'm usually too tired to stay up late. I highly recommend it to anyone who works long hours behind a desk.

Funds would not share what they are doing because then others would do the same, narrow spreads and reduce profits for all participants. But you can get a good idea of what they might be working on by some of their workers' expertise. Notice how places like RenTech (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_Technologies and https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-21/how-renai...), Two Sigma, and others hire loads of NLP and machine learning academics.
Second to last paragraph provides some perspective:

"Among the coins people invest in, bitcoin has the least concentrated ownership, says Spencer Bogart, managing director and head of research at Blockchain Capital. The top 100 bitcoin addresses control 17.3 percent of all the issued currency, according to Alex Sunnarborg, co-founder of crypto hedge fund Tetras Capital. With ether, a rival to bitcoin, the top 100 addresses control 40 percent of the supply, and with coins such as Gnosis, Qtum, and Storj, top holders control more than 90 percent. Many large owners are part of the teams running these projects."

To many people your job looks like BS, but it isn't because someone clearly values the fact that you are where you are and is willing to pay real money for it.

If you think your job is BS, then do yourself a favor and work hard towards moving to a job that you do not think is BS.

Other people's opinions are like the tides and the wind - sometimes they bode well and sometimes they don't.
In my area, it doesn’t much matter whether they actually have experience in Vue/React/Angular, all three and more are on their resume anyway and they can easily talk about the technologies.

There’s no doubt I have had applicants pass on us because we don’t use one of those frameworks. But there are plenty of other great web devs who do want to work in a reasonable environment and love it. So it’s balanced out.

I’d say my greatest selling point for the job is that we deploy all day long to production. Developers love getting features to users.
Not just a horrible track record, but the current state is also bad. I have a pretty recent Debian install on a bog standard Lenovo which otherwise runs Linux beautifully. It took days of fiddling with conf files and trying things out to get Suspend and Hibernation to work in a sensible way. The kernel, systemd and Gnome all try to do stuff, but they can't seem to agree on who's responsible for what part of power management. This is something that should work out of the box.

To be honest, this is (usually) only used for geotargeting the nearest Anycast address (or Unicast address if you are too small to operate a GeoDNS->Anycast setup). Well, that, and anti-fraud measures to flag transactions for additional verification.

People who are using it for real-world-location and language detection are doing it wrong but being wrong on the internet is a common problem. :/
At the most popular sites, at popular limits, during the peak years, there were plenty of poor players to go around. We had databases of player behaviors, and consulted them to find juicy games, but there was enough to go around that games didn't really break over losing a fish or two.

I do agree that the process you described occurred, basically whenever one of my above assumptions didn't hold - unpopular sites/high limits/post-boom.
There are about 30,000 institutionally-investable stocks in the world. They have ~252 closing prices per year. This is the thing you're trying to predict, so it forms the outputs of your training set (be sure to hold some back for out-of-sample testing and there are probably distinct regimes you need to switch between). Yes, there may be lots of features (weather, geo populations, etc., as you point out), but you're often hard up against the curse of dimensionality here. Sure, intraday data is more voluminous, but there are fewer economically reasonable influences on that.
Volatility causes news. News causes rises and falls, which cause news and volatility. Rises cause sell orders; falls cause buy orders (and sell orders). News also causes people to think "I should finally get in on this bitcoin thing" which causes buy orders. Buy and sell orders cause activity and traffic on the exchange sites.

All that being said, DDOSing and pump-and-dumps may be happening too.
Yes! With this release clojure.spec is ready to go (tm).

It adds a ton to Clojure(script), including better error messages (yes!), data-structure shape declarations, generation of data, writing quickcheck (generative) tests for a function by just describing the args and return values of functions, and more.

It is a surprise if you expect Coinbase to operate like traditional trading platforms/banks. Those tend to have lots of KYC friction to make deposits, little friction to make withdrawals.

I continue to be surprised that Coinbase doesn't allow instantaneous execution, if they really do have buyers/liquidity, and then allow the USD to sit in a cash account and trickle out slowly if necessary.

I was similarly surprised that I'd have to set up a GDAX account just to place a limit order. Making what is essentially a forex exchange with market orders alone is fraught with uncertainty.

US healthcare costs are completely out of control compared to other modern nations. We pay 2-3x the cost of other nations for our care per capita. Primarily I would attribute that to other nations applying a universal healthcare principle, and in some form or other placing government controls on the prices of medical procedures and drugs. We pay more, and our life expectancy is shorter.

This article says nothing about how software engineering is a "bullshit job". Her only point that comes close is that she once worked at a job where she was building a pointless website, but that only makes her job in that instance "bullshit".

Look all around you and you see almost endless ways that digital systems are transforming and running our lives, every single one of those needed to be engineered, designed and tested by someone, which could have been a software engineer. I think it wouldn't be an overstatement to stay without software engineers our modern life would be impossible.

I often hear complaining that they are going to leave software engineering because of a flawed list of problems, while the real problem lies in their perception of what the profession should be.

IMO software engineering is about solving challenging technical problems, and not necessarily what is created in the process. A lot of what a software engineer does is not apparent in the end result, but is absolutely necessary to get those programs, systems or applications running.

I think there are far worst professions out there, which in comparison achieve so little to SWE.

Working hours does not make any job a "bullshit" one, and the working hours and the pay grade of a SWE are obviously far better than most job. The parts of the article talks about SWE from a completely biased and personal view, which almost have no value to the reader.

I'm surprised that such article would even be by on HN's first page!
My family has gone on three cruises now for the price of one. The company guarantees that we will see Orcas around the San Juan Islands in Washington State.

I’ve heard that's true of some of the serial numbers of bills stolen, but only because banks track a small and segregated set of bills in each tellers drawers, not because they track all serial numbers, and isn't used so much to find thieves and to confirm them once other mechanisms have caught them.

A more common example are blood clot disorders. Literally a door or ball hitting a person can cause major life threatening issues and are incredibly expensive depending on the type of disorder. That is the most common situation at his healthcare system. Someone with a rare disorder has been been dubbed internally as the million dollar man because of this. In this case the man has been on and off insurance and has come to their healthcare system's ER multiple times.

Edit: The media only publishes the most extreme examples so I wasn't left with many options.
Tabs are for workflow; they're a completely different modality for working with a browser, and it's not about MRU.

The reasons we open multiple tabs is primarily for cross-referencing, and secondarily "preview"

You've completely made this up and it bears no relationship with how I use browser tabs. Many of my tabs are open for months at a time, often whole trees of dormant tasks, collapsed.

As to screen real estate, I haven't maximized my browser window since about 2005, when I moved to a wide screen. Almost all pages don't render well to a wide screen format since it's hostile to reading, and for those that do render well, typically videos and presentations, full screen is better.
In the US, inequality has been mostly driven by the top 1-10% outstripping everyone else. But the murders described in the article (and that comprise most of thise statistics) are obviously between two 90%ers. So the Guardian's conclusion that inequality trends will cause more murders hardly follows. As other comment points out, poverty is the relevant variable here.

Rate of speed is irrelevant. If you are not actively passing a vehicle, you have zero reason to be in the left lane. This assumes something resembling fairly open roads - stop and go traffic of course is wildly different.

What is a safe speed is a different discussion. So many folks have the attitude of "I'm doing 8 over already! They shouldn't be going faster than me! I'm not moving over! I'll show them!" while acting like a petty highway vigilante. Nevermind they are the most dangerous person on the road as people blow by them in the right lane rightfully pissed off.

> A little civility and due regard

And I would say the same. Left lane hugging may be one of the most unsafe behaviours on the road aside from not moving over when someone is stopped on the shoulder - and I've noticed a high correlation between the drivers who do neither.
Isn't level 5 billing just noting that the diagnostic decision making was complex and complete enough to warrant billing that much? It requires that one perform a complete history, a complete physical exam, and warrant "high complexity medical decision making".

To use another example: You have a lump on your breast. It's either cancer or a benign cyst. Would you bill these differently for the diagnosis work on the doctor's part? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what happened in your situation, but if the same exact steps are taken in diagnosing appencitis vs gas, wouldn't you bill the same?

Edit: Oh I forgot to mention the main reason I commented. I have also heard that billing less (like level 4) even if you completed all the steps for level 5 but do not want to get flagged by the system for overbilling can in turn actually get you flagged for underbilling, and can be cause for an investigation/audit.
