Can you expand on why you don't think algo trading with predictive algorithms is a viable strategy?

GDAX has 0% fees on limit orders. Say you set a limit sell at +1% and a stop loss at -1%. You could trigger a buy whenever you predict that it's >80% likely to hit +1% before -1%.

Plug in everything you can get (trades, order book, etc) from GDAX's WebSocket API into an RNN, and I'd guess you can be right more than you're wrong. Aka profitable.
I always thought the the technical white board interview never really matched what was expected.

A binary tree search has little to do with figuring out the pros and cons of which api to code against.

How about a scenario where you get to try to find a bug with legacy code?

That's nothing to do with the language! UNIX processes return an exit code, not a true/false flag.
>> FWIW, preparing for interviews is standard practice irrespective of the industry.

Industry is sane. They ask stuff relevant to actual work or real basics. They don't make a gameable process full of rules and techniques.
Here's what I want robots to do:

1) Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically.

2) Wash and dry my clothes, fold them and put them away completely automatically.

These two things would save me hours of work per week. FoldiMate simply isn't even close to being good enough, but I'd be willing to spend about that much for a robot that could do #2.

I can vacuum my floor by myself and greet people at the door, thank you. I have no use for drones, or bipedal robots, or some kind of other walking robot at all. Alexa and similar provide nothing to me that I've been able to ascertain.

I wouldn't mind some kind of thing that can hold stuff and follow me around (and up and down stairs) on occasion, but that suitcase isn't going to do it.

Anybody who can crack either #1 or #2 is going to break the robotics industry wide open.
i applaud the effort...but it looks like someone posted a couple of their homework assignments to github. Not exactly comprehensive or groundbreaking.
Is the travel comparable the rubber-dome spring based ones in most laptops? (excluding apple's latest obscenity of course).

I like the short travel and low force of most laptop keyboards but I really hate the flimsy spongeyness of them... they aren't proper switches like cherries so they have a tendency to be wobbly, inconsistent and spongey. Over time this gets worse.

I'd really like it if I could keep the low travel and low force but have it smooth consistent and non-spongey.

> Transactions don't scale: they're are expensive, and not instant

blockchain has limited scalability, second layer doesn't. also blockchain transactions were never supposed to be instant. in fact nothing is instant, check this thing called physics.

> practically no ways to spend Bitcoins in the physical world

there are plenty

> electricity costs of mining are not sustainable by mankind

bitcoin is not even a blip in total world energy spending and less than that in total world energy production.

also if you check the dictionary for word sustainable:

> able to be maintained at a certain rate or level.

miners are profitable at current difficulty at current price of bitcoin. if price goes down - less efficient miners will go out of business and difficulty will decrease until balance is achieved.

bitcoin is sustainable by design.
I've got a pretty good ($100) TPLink router and a 100Mbps Comcast connection in my 1BR apartment. I can almost never find the 5Ghz channel and get constant drops on my laptop, particularly the Linux one.

I've got a 1st Gen Chromecast, a Google Home Mini, and a Pixel XL.

Sounds like this is my culprit. Finally.
I have a similar experience, though I think a lot of the issues are actually with the apps - e.g. Netflix and Spotify will consistently not show my cast devices unless I quit the app and relaunch it, while other apps work ok.

Google needs to get far more vigilant about ensuring the third parties are implementing it properly though - even if the bug is actually with a third party, it reflects badly on their product.
The Benz Patent Motorwagen had a top speed of 10 mph, roughly equivalent to a horse+carriage.

It will take time to iterate to get to the 4x-10x improvements we all hope to see.
I think it's very similar to the .com bubble: if you invested in Amazon, you'd be quite well off now. If you invested in a random company that changed its name (Long Blockchain anyone?) or a centralized currency that doesn't offer anything new (Ripple), or donated your money away (ICO), all any of the crappy insecure alts that don't offer anything substantial over Bitcoin, it would be just like if you invested in pet.com

To be honest it indicates a personality that is based around intellect, intelligence and science™ as the main pillars of psychological stability. Quite often it is a defensive reaction to a religious upbringing as a child.
I had Lasik in 2003 and was wearing glasses again by 2008. My mom had it done at the same time and took about the same amount of time to get back to glasses. She's in front of a computer a good chunk of time but not nearly as much as I am. Not sure what that says about lasik or screen use, it's just what happened.

If you have to choose, go for stick blenders or immersion blenders over tabletop ones. They're easier to store, easier to clean, and can work with all sorts of bowls and containers.
Ask HN: Where are we now with eye tracking?
Thanks to Windows Hello now many laptops basically pack a Kinect, infrared etc. I am wondering whether eye tracking using this hardware could be used to replace the mouse.
That's not really related to it being a bot, though. For any form of trading (whether manually or through some form of automation), of course there's going be some choice of buys & sells that return a profit.

How you choose such a profitable strategy is a huge area of discussion. However, it's a completely different subject to the article, which is just focused on the mechanism of running a bot.
yeah, the fact that ethereum community was convinced is already a death sentence, because it shows that no principle is sacred. go ahead and try convincing bitcoin community to reverse a transaction, that'll be fun to watch.

As i understand it, with this approach you wouldn't have a separation between kernel code and the virtual machine - everything runs in a single address space and you rely on the virtual machine verifying the code as it JITs it.
Depends on what you mean by "preparing". There isn't another engineering industry I can think of where an engineer with more than a couple of years of experience is going to be asked to whiteboard this sort of crap. I mean, my aerospace engineer friends don't have to prepare by reviewing their PDE, vector calculus, and linear algebra classes, which is what the analog to programming interviews of this sort would be.

I know of a few organizations that buy multicore systems for their staff, and then "reserve" a few cores as part of a local grid computer. I think of this as more "symbiotic" computing than parasitic.
If your numbers are right, the quotient is about 2.7km which is 8555 feet.
"Program Files" isn't localized, at least not on the French version of Windows. Only user content is ("My Documents", "Desktop", ...), and even then, some of them are just links to non-localized directories.

You could, however, change the path of "Program Files" so your point still holds.
"that can be used for anything essentially" is a pretty wild claim to make if you can't actually back it up with useful algorithms to run on the network. This doesn't mean it's useless (you can probably run interesting contracts and stuff on the network), but stop trying to make Ethereum into something it's not.
It's actually 2.7km, approximately 8600 feet.
Yeah, and if you look at newspaper articles about wild fish actually being farmed, the government seems to be doing a terrible job about that in particular.

Sister is a travel nurse. She does not prepare for interviews and typically has several a year. Her entire interview process goes: call the agency and tell them she is looking for a new position, have one to several 30-45minute phone calls with hiring managers at the hospitals she is interested in (she actually took one once in the middle of a wine tasting - and got the job), then wait to hear back.

That's what it's like for many other in-demand and well paying industries (she's mid-20's and makes low six figures in San Jose). Stop pretending like everyone else has to deal with the same bullshit as you, hiring in tech is BROKEN. Other industries do it better.

People's lives are dependent on how well she does her job. Are the hoops you have to jump through justifiable for how "important" your job is?
Why should interviews test your ability to solve a problem you never expected to have to solve, rather than test your ability to prepare, research, and teach yourself?

For Resumes, this is what I've been told by multiple people.

- One page for cold or warm leads, such as whose hiring threads or online application. Two pages at most, for familiar leads (such as 2nd day interviews), such as "hey, we're looking for someone like you, if you shoot me your resume I can pass it on". The difference here is detail on positions.

- Keep education short and to the point. School, degree, program, and anything of note. GPA if it matters (say Business and Accounting) or is of note (3.5+)

- Highlight competent skills. Angular JS implies Javascript. Only list stuff that you are fine jumping into doing. I can do networking, but at a Jr. level. It's not on highlighted on my resume. Nobody cares about something you can kinda do well. You're not being hired on that.

- Buzzwords, in moderation, are your friend. People, myself included, will scan until something pops out.

- Focus on work experience. Describe what you did at the role. Describe your responsibilities. Describe your performance and accomplishments. Describe why you remained employed. Think of this as the 30 seconds to pickup someone at a bar. Give information, but leave room for them to be able to ask you about yourself. This is what you will be interviewed off of. When you are talking to someone- they have seen your resume and think you can work for them- they are trying to figure out if you have what they need. If your resume doesn't appear to be what they are looking for, they will move on. "Java?" "API Development?" "Spring Framework?"

"Increased application performance by 20% in some cases while rewriting ORM" will not only be impressive, but the person reading will want to know more, like how and what you did. The previous statement shows an impressive accomplishment, while implying you know what you are doing and you can bring it to them, and also brings a tangible number. Follow ups could be, "What did you do to increase performance?" "How did you rewrite the ORM?" "How did you measure the performance increase?" "What cases did you see a performance increase?"

"Build a Java API" leaves too much to question and doesn't tell much about what you did. There is too much to follow up on, and there is a good chance that they won't waste the effort. A better line would be "Implemented a high performance Java API using the Spring framework on top of an existing application for internal customers." That gives more information, some details, and leaves room for the interviewer to ask questions.
So you're saying that two technologies which don't actually exist yet are more likely than not eating meat, which 100s of millions of humans already do? Yeah, for the average American, you could be right.
I was in Costa Rica last week with a slow wifi connection and had a similar experience with a 5MB offline PDF file in Google Drive. For some reason, drive decided to redownload it, but after only a minute it timed out and gave up. I just ended up going for two more days without the file, but I found it pretty ridiculous that Drive failed so miserably on such a simple use case.

I had a nearly seamless (albeit slightly slower) experience browsing Instagram on that slow connection despite the fact that all of the content was photo/video media, so I know the connection was not completely useless. It seems that Google engineers can't even fathom the possibility that someone would have a slow enough connection that a 5MB file might need more than a minute to download. This is frustrating.
The on-the-spot technical interview is the biggest waste of time in the history of humanity. Everyone underperforms in technical interviews. I've conducted a number of them and I've never learned a single thing other than the fact that people make surprising mistakes when under pressure in contrived situations. Here's something that I think works much better: come up with a novel challenge that requires a couple hours of honest effort and have candidates present their solution to you when they come in.
It's been my experience that any industry that

* Is attractive enough (compensation, lifestyle, etc.)

* and has a larger supply of qualified applicants than desirable positions

Will result in applicants preparing for however they are interviewed, tested, etc. This isn't unique to software engineering interviews. People prepare for interviews or exams in finance, law, medicine, etc. They all have a system that is gameable. It might be newer in software engineering interviews, but that is mostly because CS is now incredibly popular and top talent is compensated very well.
Another interesting idea is that patterns can hold if the market is mostly being affected by bots. Especially at the micro level.

Even basic ML/AI strategies can be easily profitable with the current volatility. It drastically reduces the risk of the HOLD strategy, and while not necessarily the top profits, can be much safer.

I've been running various algorithms for the past 4 months with varying success (whole system homemade in Python), all profitable.

I'd also note that as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, what algorithm is very important. This market is like few others, and thus I have found lends itself to very different strategies.
However the USSR might have been good in some ways, it doesn't really matter. That's because its economy was fundamentally dysfunctional and so it was bound to crash at some point.
Confused as to why this is titled for pen-testing. Where's /var/log/btmp and nmap?
Arigato, for the thoughtful reply!
What the hell?

Shouldn't we focus on creating great engineers instead of training them to make a good impression on an interview?

I think is completely immoral. Becoming good at something is a matter of consistent practice that brings experience and expertise over time. There is not other way around it.

People might pass the interview but their hat will fall in a matter of weeks. This is PUA for interviews by a University, this is really depressing.

The only thing that gives me hope is that great engineers will always solve problems no matter what. Tech hiring is going to become much harder.
The rewards go to the people who took on the most risk (i.e. the creators, and then the early investors). If Ether didn't have speculative value then the project would not have proceeded.

No matter what system you use to interview people, if the position is desirable enough, and the number of positions is smaller than the applicant pool, isn't gaming the system the expected outcome?

If people at Google were interviewed by juggling raquetballs, there would be books, courses, etc. on how to juggle better. People are willing to pay for this prep because they want to work at Google. Eventually most everyone interviewing at Google would be very well prepared to juggle.
Yeah, I prefer that one as well, and I have one at home. In particular, I like that that one has a built-in palm rest.

Careful. Software engineering is very much a real engineering discipline, and it is a major cultural failing to not recognize it as such.

It's very tempting to say this. However, trying to find an alternative that is not equally or more gameable is very challenging.

Take home assignments are easy to cheat on and take a lot of time.

Asking questions about someone's experience is a great way to find someone who is a great conversationalist that can't code.

Asking someone to program at a computer in a limited amount of time falls victim to the same issues that the competitive programming, whiteboard interviews currently do.
for 1, a dishwasher covers (wash) and in some cases (dry) - the putting away is the least time-consuming step so I'm not convinced a robot would be a massive innovation over dishwashers unless it also collected not-in-use washables but that's robot butler levels of complexity.

for 2, I don't know about the US but in the UK you can get small local companies that will wash and iron a sack of laundry for you, and return them folded. I don't know what benefit you would see by having that automated instead of done by a human. It's fairly cheap too I understand.
Maybe. All other things being equal, they might need a reason to cut you, and hire the other guy.

If you failed to complete the problem or took longer than expected to complete it because of extra complexity entailed by a more "correct", out-of-scope solution, it may especially cost you - even if in the end, your solution was "smarter".

Maybe the other guy noted that there are a couple of ways to solve the problem, and asked a clarifying question about it.
I keep my number off my resume unless I am personally giving someone it (via email or in person). But, it depends on the circumstance.

A Raspberry Pi is a surprisingly useful and cost effective device when it comes to IOT. Most industrially hardened devices of similar capacity cost a bit north of an order of magnitude more.

There are really only a couple of things that would need to be addressed, a good weather-tight case that allowed for heat dissipation, decent storage (most microSD has a short lifespan), and a good 5v power supply.

In many cases, designing a system that is cheap, expendable, and expected to fail is way less costly than the alternative.
Say what you will about the state of the software dev interview, it sounds like it could be a fun class.
We can skype and decide contract work or share

I've heard of strategies where multiple accounts can collude to manipulate the solo bots that make statistical decisions. Is this a real danger when professional companies start getting involved in crypto?
I understand and agree with these desires. However, getting fewer and simpler clothes can near solve the second problem for much cheaper.

Similarly, eating out comes close to solving the first problem. Will be very cost competitive with robots for the same in the foreseeable future.

To the point that solving this problem will require more behavior change from us than we're likely to realize.
How do you prevent cheating? Someone can very easily have a friend complete the challenge and walk them through it in a lot of detail. They could prep well enough that you hire someone who is massively under-qualified.

Then if your company is large enough, your novel challenge gets leaked and everyone knows it ahead of time. Solutions start being sold or distributed. Then your interview is meaningless.

I'm all for a viable alternative to the whiteboard interview, but I haven't encountered one yet.

The salmon that you eat is not harmful to you (probably less so with antibiotics). The multiresistent bacteria are harmful to everyone. Antibiotics are the shared resource, and the incentives are misaligned precisely because more antibiotics in livestock = cheaper and healthier (in a veterinarian sense) meat, but more resistant bacterial strains that can find a way into the populace.

I'm glad they are teaching students about resume writing, and hopefully the professors are versed in hiring outside academia. I write hundreds of resumes a year for my clients, and a high percentage of young clients are using really poor resumes when they engage my services.

It seems many new grads are being drawn to highly-visualized resumes with fancy templates, often featuring a bar graph for skills ranking (some ranking themselves as "8 out of 10 in JavaScript", which comes across as laughable and out of touch).

My feelings on memorizing data structures aside, the resume lessons may at least help some grads get interviews that they wouldn't have otherwise, and that's a good thing.
This kind of prep has been common place in other desirable fields for many years. Law, medicine, finance. They all have books, classes, etc. that you can take to prepare for interviewing, taking the bar, mcat, etc. Compared to college admissions, the CS interview process looks downright sane.
How many Android devices are out there right now? They've all been using Skia since day one.

I just don't agree that if "it quacks like a criminal case, it walks like a criminal case, therefore, it is a criminal case", because is handled by Facebook and not by a court.

What's Facebook going to do? Fine you? Sentence you to Community Service? Send you to jail?

Maybe the crux of the matter is that I don't believe people have a constitutional right to be able to post to on Facebook.
You are correct now but Program Files was fully localized in XP and below. In Vista and beyond, it uses junction points to the non-localized names (something I just learned).
Note that Skia is a C++ library and does not provide a stable C API.
This is a natural response to the incentive structure that has evolved. But fear not, the fact that this metric is being overemphasized to this large a degree surely must mean that the adversarial species (the industry) will respond by changing their strategy. The more universities focus on vanity metrics (helping students build their peacock tail), the more likely it is that the industry realizes the kink in their armour and shifts to some wiser signaling measure.
