Yea, you probably can if you want and don't give up.

It's not apparent to me if you want to be a quant, or you want a job that earns a lot of money and is considered prestigious by a certain group of people.

If you had the passion for being a quant regardless of the money, you could be learning and programming in your free time.

If you want the job title more than you enjoy the activity, then I'm sure you could keep studying and practicing and get the job, but I don't think you'll find it satisfying.

If you merely want money for quality of life, stability, security, having F-U money, or anything along those lines, then I'd really want to stress that there are two areas you can work on to achieve that goal. One is earning more money and you seem very focused on that. The other is becoming more efficient with your life. At any point you can make the realization that you've hit a point of diminishing returns in either area, and focus on something else.

I'm not in your shoes, but w/ a salary of 145k at 22 years old, I think you can make the pieces fit to retire in about ~10 years, while spending plenty of money on recreation along the way. Alternatively, I'm sure you can rent/buy/subscribe enough that you spend the next 10 years living paycheck to paycheck. Lifestyle is yours to choose.
I recall when Coors pushed distribution out to Seattle. It was a rare treat and some stores overstocked, storing the beer on the floor outside the coolers. That beer went bad pretty quick and killed the mystique for quite a few customers.
Hi, GitLabber here. There are several inaccuracies in your comment. Hopefully, I can clarify and comment.

> Google is an investor in GitLab

Not true. GV invested in GitLab. GV != Google. (Just do a web search to learn the difference.)

> push heavily for GCP to their customers offering USD 200 free credits

True. It's free credit for our users, of course, we let them know :) Note that this is Google's standard partner credit. All their partners offer this. It's not unique to GitLab.

> Zero marketing mentions regarding integrations with AWS

Not true. Amazon is also a GitLab partner, and We officially support EKS: https://about.gitlab.com/2018/06/06/eks-gitlab-integration/

> Sometimes it feels like a cheap Google adware.

This may be accurate. I think we got this wrong the 1st time out of the gate. Here's an issue where we improved the look and feel to be less 'adware' and more informative. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48804

> advertised themselves as a cloud agnostic

We are a cloud-agnostic company and we do advertise it. (e.g. even in our launch post for the GCP marketplace we make a point to say "you can install GitLab almost anywhere" https://about.gitlab.com/2018/07/18/install-gitlab-one-click...) Although, perhaps not enough. This is good feedback that we need to make this message more front-and-center.

I don't think it's nationalistic, I think it's a war of fundamental values.

The Chinese Communists put control above truth. The Western World puts truth above control. The most powerful law of the most powerful Western nation enshrines as it's First Amendment the unlawfulness of force restraining speech.

For the sake of further discussion, let me set aside the moral argument, and pretend that stable human civilization demands compartmentalization of history. Maybe we do need a "Grey File" of forbidden knowledge to prevent the proles from becoming unhappy with their lot.

Here's the operational, the pragmatic problem with that: You have to control the whole story or you risk societal schizophrenia. What is the Chinese tourist to do when eventually exposed to the truth? There are two choices: instantly become at least partially a rebel -or- cognitive dissonance: go a bit insane and reject the real world in favor of the consensus reality. Rebellion or insanity.

Unless of course the airlines agree to say the right thing about Taiwan on their websites, then everything will be fine.

The article is paywalled but it's a pretty plausible result of group selection.

The self-interested birds will force out the cooperative birds at first, but they are naturally self-limiting by cutting off their own resources.

On the other hand the cooperative birds can ensure that their entire species grow quickly, eventually covering areas that selfish birds haven't reached.

In an alternate universe the cooperative birds might even evolve a "moral" behavior where they actively gang up on and punish cheaters who eat unripe fruits.

A financial advisor charges a much heftier fee, requires significant effort on the client's part (since they are simply being advised by another person), and are limited in the amount of optimizing they can do in 1-on-1 sessions.

There would be several ways to make money beyond the small client fee, such as by offering businesses involved with these services (loan companies, etc.) clients, etc.
There would also be premium services offered to wealthier clients who want to further optimize things such as their investing portfolio, medical tourism packages, etc.

Yes, but more to the point, they are not synonymous except in very recent history. Theories of climate change were needed to explain evidence of the Ice Age long before anyone thought that warming was a concern, back in the early 19th Century. The evidence that climate could change was also generally distinct from the evidence which established that CO2 could change the climate. Global warming is a subset or result of climate change.
Ethics was just to educate on what they are, and how to manipulate other people’s ethics based on their view of the worls.

Interesting! Did my first two day fasting this weekend and felt awesome the whole time. I broke the fast yesterday evening because I want to hit the gym today.

Do you continue the fast after HIIt or do you eat some protein after? How do you feel after such an intense workout in a fasted state?
Of course not! But im saying even without bailouts the banking system already is a collusion with government. Private banks take loans of money from the central bank at very low rates then add 2+% on top and provide those loans to consumers.
"It’s also one thing to respect local customs and laws, and another to actively implement them, as Google will be doing."

I failed to understand what the author is trying to get at here. If there's a local law that means a company must collect sales tax from consumers, on behalf of he state, and remit the collected money to the state, then would the author consider that 'respecting' local laws, or 'actively implementing' them?
Thanks for the feedback!

Level 1 Techs does a great video on getting Thunderbolt via USB-C working on Ryzen Threadripper. You can run Thunderbolt on Threadripper, but not Ryzen 7.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOlQbP63lDQ

I think the reason this question so so hard to answer for Intel is because Thunderbold on Intel goes through the chipset, after which it's on a shared PCIx4 lane to the processor. The main reason for this is hotplugging PCI-E is difficult.

On Threadripper, the Leve1Tech use a lot of hacks to get an Intel Thurnderbolt controller connected directly to the PCIE lanes that go straight to the processor.

This is exactly what my experience and observation have been too!

Even the upper middle class folks had the work around ready and at times recommended to them by their bank managers. I work in Bangalore (South) but I am from UP (North) and one thing, in both the regions, I learned from traders and rich people regarding demonetisation that it was not more than a minor or major (in many cases when too much black money was involved) annoyance for them.

PS. I am from the region that borders Nepal. A lot of money was moved to Nepal during that period as demonetisation apparently didn't apply to INR in circulation in Nepal (INR is quite common there).

She's playing smaller tournaments in addition to larger ones but the smaller tournaments by definition contribute less variance to her earnings.

In this comment I was responding on Twitter to people who actually thought that this is an amazing new idea she invented so it came out a little negative.

Have you tried using a female avatar after the Black Friday? The game has changed and Black Friday was one of the main reasons for fewer novices online. I remember reading on 2+2 forums about whether there was an effect on tournament registrations in live casinos and people reported little change. Many amateur online players just moved on to something else.
I’ve been wanting to do this for a side project for a while now. If I ever get around to it, I’ll write up a guide. Hopefully I remember this post!
I agree. I just tried substituting in a bunch of those points and none solved that equation. I don't see, for example, how the point at (12,56) fits that equation at all, since it computes to 56^2 = 12^3 - 12, or 3136 = 1728 - 12, or 3136 = 1716. That isn't even remotely close, so it's not me just slightly misreading the points.

I find it hard to believe that's still true. The only supporters left are the worst of the worst : police and military personnel who don't do it for the money, but because the state let's them bully, beat up and even rape.

Same happened in the Soviet Union, but of course giving total power to the state (def. of socialism) never leads to the people that are the state (all states are nothing but a group of people) abusing that power to get away with bullying, rape and murder.

Especially once, inevitably, a socialist state runs out of other ways to pay them. They can't survive without them.

But noooo, it's outside sabotage, as if capitalist states don't sabotage each other too....

> Centrally planned cities are invariably poor: Brasilia, Washington DC, Abu Dhabi, and so on. I would take an organic city like Paris, Milan, London, New York, or Tokyo any day over a planned city.

"Organic cities" tend to happen because there was a natural economic draw-- a good port, a big deposit of natural resources, a crossroads in transport networks, a safe climate. People were coming there unsolicited, before the city planners arrived.

Planned cities tend to have been shoehorned into existence in places with no economic appeal, often for political reasons like "let's develop a dead area" or "lets put our purpose built capital away from big influential existing cities." Brasilia and DC were in basically uninhabited territory. Who is that going to atteact? The government workers who have to follow the jobs, and people who figure they can exploit a relatively captive market with inferior, expensive services.

I'd love to see someone try to build a planned city in a proven area of economic appeal. It would probably have to either be 1) a country like China with the ability to suspend objections an private property rights enough to deliver the vision or 2) a post-war or natural disaster buildout.

While it's obvious why this guy would prioritize his own job over someone else's, it's pretty unclear to me why you would expect the reader to care.

Why should I care if a South Korean person has a particular job versus a Chinese person or whatever? I don't know any of them. Even if I did prefer jobs to go to my own culture or country or ethnic group or whatever (I largely don't), these are all third parties to me and probably the vast majority of people reading this article.

I can understand people who are opposed to globalization to the extent that it causes job loses in their own country -- even though I don't agree with them. But the logic of anti-globalization goes out the window when it's comparing two different third-party countries.

China does what it thinks is best for itself. The compromise is crippling of free speech. I don't like that.

Europe does what it thinks is best for itself. The compromise is crippling of innovation. I don't like that.

Are they doing the right thing? I don't think so. Is it legitimate for them to do so? Probably.

Personally, I believe the best solution is to break the rule. Ignore all regulations (hate speech, GDPR, copyrights, patents, net neutrality, China's firewall) and make it easy for people to do the same thing. They won't be able to enforce their unreasonable regulations, and they'll have to repeal them. That's what I intend to do.

> Should large Western companies such as Google give up ethical values to make money in China?

Google is a company that sells people's behavior and personal information to companies so that they can try to sell products to consumers, regardless of whether they need them or if it's the best choice for them.

China is a country whose government seeks to repress all speech or action against its government.

One of these seems a lot less ethical than the other to me. But both are born in and driven by the culture they were grown out of. Of course they're going to seem unethical from the perspective of a different culture.

That book is so full of nonsense. It’s a string of desperate theories that strive to explain present-day tensions in such a way that ignores the context of present-day. The milieus of turbo consumerism and associated economic strife are in conflict with certain less-compatible self-identities, and not others. This underwrites everything the book aims to address with far more cohesion (as is often the case with successful realism) and is an infinitely more fascinating theme at that (also often the case with successful realism). It’s too bad the author was so desperate to avoid it. For whatever reason, the author goes digging where’s simply nothing to dig. The result is boring, hardheaded exoticism.

I know he claims the subjects are his own family, but I’m not buying it. The subjects are his agenda.

You can Google it for about 5 minutes and find enough evidence to occupy your time with months of reading. There's a huge variety of available data across various complexities. You can go as deep as you want. Hell, there's a webcomic visualization (https://xkcd.com/1732/) that cites multiple sources. There are multiple documentaries outlining it. How much more accessible are you requiring this information to be?

You're going to lengths to make a weak argument here.
I think we have different definitions of value types - in all Common Lisp implementations I’m aware of values have a uniform representation as a (tagged) pointer.

Not quite, but you are catching on. The rest is mostly a matter of cloning, and providing a standardized nurturing to each clone to eliminate confounding differences. (Perhaps in the far future we will be able to raise one clone, scan its brain, and overwrite the brains of each of the rest of its identical siblings with the scan results.)

For some kinds of research, it even suffices to use a creature who has a hole where humans have a brain.
