It seems we here on a HN are a bit more enlightened. The article is at four now (for me).

This is crazy and makes me sad and angry. Sad because of the unfairness bestowed on this parent and his kids and sad and angry with myself because I never realized how deeply racism is ingrained in our society.

You're making me read the comments, you do know that don't you :(

Agreed fully. It was a bad move to look at the letter (even if it was in the open). Don't follow up with another move that's even worse. Not only will your slip-up become known but you're boss and the new hire will be be mad

I don't believe what this guy did is really hacking and if he did the story doesn't tell but it's an awesome story of reinvention and excelling.

It didn't like this wall of text: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7960514 which I can understand. Including that one I have a hater score of 3.5% which makes me a pretty positive person :)

In my eyes, you both make a valid point: yes there's plenty of documentation but sometimes I just can't find what I'm looking for. I like how the book[1] is structured, it really helped me but it isn't complete. Don&#x27

I believe chollida comment, placed 10 hours before yours answers the question how they can sell it: It's linked with the Intels commercial BLAS, see here: http://mran.revolutionanalytics.com/documents/rro/open

Ah, from the e-mail after signing up: Thanks so much for submitting your info! Right now, we're unfortunately only located in NYC and the Bay Area. But we really appreciate your reaching out, and we will let you know as

I tried signing up but it was really unfriendly to us non-American folks: - Height in feet and inches - Pretty limited locations - I'm neither Democrat nor Republican - It's called American Football and Football, not what you have

I believe it will increase message quality but maybe not in a good way: now it's easier to train oneself in sending message that score well but are still a bad conversation starter. What gets measured, gets improved. Unfortunately, mea

Well said, but Belgium isn't in Holland ;) For some reason a relatively large number of players in this space are Dutch though.

Being faster is rigging the market? How does that work? Also, it isn't called front running, at least not legally. It can't be, HFT don't have any customers. Maybe Michael Lewis has a different definition of front running but

It seems to me the makers of this documentary pride themselves in not trying to explain what the conjecture is and how Perelman proved it at all. This is nice, since they could only have failed and leaves more room for Perelman as a person

Hut those are not stolen. It's much harder to get a good price for stolen goods because there is no demand from legitimate buyers, in this case large publishers.

You're not afraid of making some pretty big claims yourself. Wikipedia[1] supports my claim that while the situation might not be perfect it works quite well and that's the most important thing. Compared to other countries, the US

That's unfortunate but the bottom line for patients is that the NZ works excellently. Sure, it sucks that someone committed fraud and got rich in a dishonest manner but preventing that is not the goal. In the end, this fraud doesn&#x27

It depends. Both can get difficult and being an expert requires lots of training. However, I believe that frontend is easier and more fun for starters. With little skill you get something on the screen, with more skill you can make some rea
