There are some details though. If you are using webpack you need to use the right 'devtool' settings to get the source line numbers to match up.
There's enough material in A Song of Ice and Fire to make spin-off series. There's already been talk about adapting Robert's Rebellion. Sure, there's no guarantee that they won't be Caprica rather than Frasier, but it's hardly like AMC facing the loss of Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
I kind of hate the oil industry because of damage to the world. I own an electric car. Even with those feelings, it's also very clear we'll continue to have massive profits for this industry during the next few decades. At least 5-10 years of current sized profits - because it will take a long time to make enough cheap evs and build infrastructure.

Maybe not at that massive valuation of 2T though.
"are you applying to places ?"

Lately, no, last I've actually tried was all last year, but I've been wanting to get back on it with everything I've learned this year.

"Are you in the USA ? In a techie area ?"

Yes, Oakland, quite near San Fransisco.

I've been thinking I might have to end up moving one day, I wouldn't hate it but even then I must imagine that other 'tech areas' around America have that same kind of competition where people are moving out for work. My work is indeed paid.

"Think portfolio, not resume; why don't you have a nice portfolio ?"

Good question, I'm not actually sure but you've managed to get me on it. I've been relying on Github for a portfolio because people've always told me that it's about having a Github accessible and a decent resume...

Thank you for the help
Hey, do you know of any papers or more writing about this? (Or even keywords that would aid a search). Reading code is one thing, but being able to read code alongside a paper or web article increases the types of information and makes it much more digestible for me.

> HBO NOW is only supported in the U.S. and select U.S. territories.

Oh yeah, I still have to pirate the HBO shows I want to watch. Even the Netflix catalogue seems to be shrinking rather than growing here outside of the US. Apparently you can get Netflix to show more stuff here by changing the language on the web interface because they only show me stuff that has dubs for my language. Can't do that in-app though.

Uh, hello, I understand English well enough to be able to watch your fucking show in English, why does my room mate have to call your support to figure this out?

So now they want to turn HBO which is even worse than Netflix into Netflix? Cool, I'll still be pirating.

I'm happy to discuss this using your clearer example supposing you agree to a couple of ground rules:

- your example has never happened. Its a thought experiment that is worth exactly that.

- you stipulate that the actual information that HFT systems take advantage of is the market microstructure itself. I'm going to demand that you do this because of my experience in the HFT space and my lack of experience in the 2 plains colliding in mid air space

Even given those stipulations, HFT is not the issue. If I am on the ground observing the crash. I have a unique and privileged access to the information. If I am a air traffic controller observing their flight plans before they hit, I have a unique and privileged access to the information. If I am a hedge fund that have been detailing the long history of AA job boards and notice that they spend waaay less on QA engineering than their competitors, I have unique and privileged access to the information. It is not the point of the markets to penalize those participants. It is the point of the markets to reward them. We want that information incorporated into the price as soon as possible and the markets are how we incentivize that.

That is, having data that other market participants don't is a fundamental state of the markets that generates the outcomes we want. Any external manipulation of that information need have a sufficient justification. In the cases we've said are out of bounds, the sufficient justification comes from an issue of agency. We have said that brokers can't take advantage of your order flow because it will destroy the markets if they did. Insider trading represents one party stealing from another (1 set of shareholders who are beholden to another set).

HFT does not represent any of those things. Quite the opposite. They are placing honest bets on their predictive ability, just like every other market participant, the only difference is their information flows and timeframes. Frankly, the markets hold HFT to a higher standard than other participants. No one bailed out Knight when their advantage became their undoing and no one cares now when they are providing liquidity for basically free and the entire industry is a non-event. If an investment bank or an automotive company succumbed to market pressures like HFT did, a president would step in.

> Can social pressure work on positions that make up large portions of the country? Not in my experience. I’ve only seen polarization come from “social pressure” on conservatives.

It worked very well on drunk driving. Previously seen as a minor problem, a very public campaign to shame the act—and drunk drivers—has reduced the incidence of drunk driving considerably—fatalities down 50% since 1980.
The idea that the topical application of omega-3 fatty acids has some benefit other than psychological is definitely snake oil.
Yup. Out of the box support for Jupyter would be a great addition, given the environment is the same as what the user requires (in case of fast.ai course the environment should be similar to the course's required environment).

> but a 14-year-old with a smaller budget could easily cause similar chaos on a busy highway by, say, rolling a heavy object down a hill onto it or throwing some spiked gardening tools onto the road at night.

Doing that puts them at severe risk of detection and capture, doesn't scale well, is pretty easy to remedy, and dealing with foreign objects on roadways is pretty easy (people drive around them, and maintenance personnel and/or police move them off the road) and needs to be because it happens all the time without any malicious actors involved.
>they should be paid far more than software developers.

They most likely are being paid more, when adjusting for cost of living. You can work on a rig making $100k a year in areas where $250k buys you a very nice 3500 SQ ft home with a big backyard.

Something that would cost millions in SF, NYC, Seattle, etc.

I suspect using GR to design a warp drive is like using a spoon to build a freeway. Without a theory of quantum gravity - which appears to mean not just a theory of quantised space time, but also of the non-locality and complex distributed relationships that haunt QM - you're probably not going to get very far.

I think I understand your view that low latency trading is fair competition. I see that from the perspective of traders, it's unfair skimming that's literally impossible to compete with. (Compare in more corrupt days, you could literally pay NASDAQ for faster access to price information.) I am still interested in that competition improves spreads or efficiency.

My guess is to try upselling features like anonymous browsing, ad-blocking, etc. Other ideas would require discovering use-case scenarios for corporate situations: can it be used as a cms-front end or a way to focus on text for localization? a11y testing? You never know.
Hi - I'd be very interested in this position at Phusion. What is the best way to apply for this role?
Curiously, Chrome doesn't support extensions in headless mode. And Browsh needs to run some custom CSS and JS to help with parsing, so Chrome was a no go. You can inject CSS and JS using the RPC though, but that RPC standard (https://remotedebug.org/) isn't yet supported by Firefox. So at the time I felt that using the webextension standard was a more cross-browser investment. Perhaps I should revisit that decision.

And yes you're right about the use of a remote server to make use of the bandwidth savings.
Marco Polo was great but got cancelled over costs, so that's not the kind of thing we're going to see more of.
I assume we will be getting some what-abouters. So let me ask them what is their own political philosophy, like do they think Xi is great, or do they support liberal democracy but are angry at how the US fails to hold up its ideals, or what?

Also, I assume we will be getting some people who will say the article is a pack of lies, so let me ask them to give us what they think is the truth on the matters the article covers, like the history of China, or how Xi has changed things from the system that Deng installed.

AMC is already 3 seasons into their Breaking Bad successor (which is arguably better than all but the last season of Breaking Bad itself), and they also have the Walking Dead franchise, plus a plausible franchise in Killing Eve. AMC also owns Sundance TV.

Would I rather own AMC than HBO? No (FX, though, different story). But AMC is a basic cable channel! Breaking Bad and Walking Dead are both much bigger deals than anything HBO has done in the last 10 years except for Game of Thrones. If we have to argue about which is the more important channel in 2018, HBO's model isn't working.
"...be real shame if someone was to acquire it, force it to produce twice as many eggs on half the feed, create a half-baked digital platform on which you could watch it lay eggs in real-time, watch as its health slowly declined in the face of insurmountable odds, notice the new Platinum-producing Pig making headlines in town, acquire that animal too, then sell what's left of the goose to a local French bistro to make gold-encrusted foie gras for the same someone to enjoy while watching House of Cards for the 3rd time on Netflix."
Cloudflare Workers are fascinating. I love the idea of distributed functions-as-a-service. Simple deployment, quick response times. Has anyone tried pairing these with a geo-replicated database like Azure's CosmosDB to serve up a REST/GraphQL API?
Yup - OP mentions this, buried towards the middle of the article.

"He may also not need the money as much as he did at the outset of his mission to change the country.

Actually much of Toronto's concern was Google's desire to be essentially exempt from large swaths of city regulations, so they could build it however they want. More akin to Disney World than a "consultant". (Disney World is technically almost entirely within government districts that are also controlled by Disney, and they can approve their own permits for many things, for example.)

But, the prominent 3 categories that made the list are:

yes, thank you, I understand the motivation, the reason I never understood before was quite simple, the description "1x1 convolution" (correctly) described that they were not doing convolutions across pixels.

It is good to point out what they aren't doing, they should also point out what they are doing.

Humor me by considering:

"Today I did not go to the zoo, I did not go to school, ..., and I did not go by foot, nor by vehicle without weels, nor by a vehicle with only one wheel, nor by a vehicle that had 3 or more wheels, and the vehicle was not motorised, and I did not need to stand up on the vehicle"

While true, and possibly important to point out what I didn't do, it's generally more helpful to describe what I am doing, like "I rode my bicycle to the supermarket"
I don't think any of those shows are on the same level as the top tier HBO ones. The only show that I think reaches it is Breaking Bad (AMC). I actually think the best netflix ever did was with Bloodline (S1 only). House of Cards, while fun to watch, was quite one dimensional. And HBO deserves a lot of credit for supporting The Wire like it did (despite low viewer counts), and continuing to do so, more recently with Show Me A Hero. Shows that will not be popular for the general market but are good shows with a story worth telling. Quoting The Economist:

And second, because as drama “Show Me a Hero” excels. Younger viewers may find this hard to believe, but once upon a time American studios made films for adults, with nary a dinosaur, superhero or hunger game in sight. Directors such as Elia Kazan, Sidney Lumet and Spike Lee dealt with serious moral questions, and made urban realism riveting. Messrs Simon and Zorzi are their successors, but their work is richer, more sophisticated—and better.

For foreign students, the PhD program is a great way to enter the U.S. job market. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that, while American undergrads can get lucrative job offers right out of college, foreign students are left with doing a Masters/PhD first, hence partly explaining a skew towards foreign students in many Computer Science departments around the country. For those students, I'd say the PhD program is "worth it".

> there are basic cable channels (AMC and FX) that have given HBO a run for its money.

Each has produced a couple series ever of the quality that HBO has a few of at any given time. They aren't playing at the same level.

> Does anyone really believe that HBO is going to outcompete Netflix on original programming over the long run?

Yes.

> They just randomly drop them in the middle of the week, as if they don't have time even to promote them. Have you ever started an episode of Jessica Jones and had to wait 2 minutes for them to promo the next season of Mindhunter?

Netflix promotes more heavily in the app than most other streaming g services do; I actually find this both more intrusive and less effective than pre-roll promotions like HBO does.

> Meanwhile, after Game of Thrones ends, what's HBO got for tentpole series?

Succession, The multiple (IIRC, 5) GoT spinoff series that are already confirmed in the works, potentially with the first airing as soon as 2020, the Watchmen series they are rumored to be picking up...

> But premium cable is over, everything is going to be disintermediated,

The trend seems to be more streaming services offering premium add-ons like HBO, and away from “streaming means the end of the premium cable model” that was more defensible a claim a couple years ago.

If what caused the layoff is a microeconomic issue - your company isn’t profitable and not a macroeconomic issue - the entire economy sucks- and you’re technical with marketable skills, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Between 2009-2011, I was working for a company that had three rounds of layoffs until the company finally shut down. We all knew the company was in dire straights, management was very up front with us. None of us who were left, jumped shipped because we liked our jobs, were working on resume building technology and we knew we could get a job relatively quickly.

Without fail, within a month of being laid off, every person who was laid off had another comparable or better job. This was true for developers, QA analysts, and L1 and L2 tech support. On our last day, when the company shut down and laid all of us off, we hung around, went to lunch, laughed, joked and called our recruiters for our next opportunity.

My biggest fear is never being unemployed, it’s being unemployable. If you keep your skills marketable in tech, finding a job or at least a contract is not hard. It’s been true for me for almost 25 years asa Developer - and I’m not on the west coast.

Is the city you're talking about producible from the sum of little decisions by little people? Having seen some planned cities, I'm quite dubious that unstructured market access can lead to the same levels of city infastructural efficacy and pedestrian ergonomics, versus the planned cities of the US.

I have a feeling that centralization alone, whether performed by a (problematic) monopolist Irvine company, or done by a town council, makes a huge difference in quality. The charming picture-perfect towns with small shops and red brick churches with abundant leisurely strolling are likely very carefully constructed and enforced.
