Great work! I had a similar idea and built https://socialite.ooo . It's been a bit neglected as I was finishing up grad school. It has a heavy focus on events and locations to tie everything together.

I don't think either of them are addressing whether sexism is acceptable in the workplace. They're talking about whether a "fun" culture is an indicator of sexism in the workplace. If you have another interpretation and

It's not incorrect, it's just diminutive and can be insulting in a professional setting. Going out with the girls and having a drink with my boys are perfectly fine things to say when referring to your friends. Similar to how bro

Why is everyone concerned with how often they piss? I drink 3-4 liters of water a day and take many bathroom breaks. Who cares? Everyone does it. I think it's more concerning that people aren't drinking enough water.

I live in Baltimore, work remotely, and pay about $1200 / month on my mortgage. I have an old house on 1/3rd of an acre. Growing up in LA, I was shocked how cheap houses were here. I'm looking at moving to Austin now. There a

I got into it on Facebook one time with a guy complaining about the high housing prices in Venice, as well as the parking garage they were constructing in his neighborhood. You can solve one of these problems. Probably going to NIMBY the pa

Santa Monica is nearly all million dollar homes now, not a lot of high density housing. Renting a house there is easily 5-6k / month. I grew up there and would love to move back, but it's just insane.

I think my point is that they are given the choice, knowing that it is a choice they do not have the luxury to pass up. Just a frustrating situation that these employees will then continue to work outside of their normal work hours. I'

I went to the conference 1 or 2 years ago and it was good. Worth the student pricing. I only did the training this year, also on student pricing, and it was pretty disappointing.

The trading strategy stuff has been brought up before. They say when evaluating algorithms they only look at the alpha, beta, etc. and not the algorithm itself. While the system can see what you're running, I think they work pretty har

I went to the Quantopian conference for their basic training on algorithmic trading. This blog post was pretty much what they covered, intro to pandas and a simple strategy. There is a lot of educational material on their site too (which is

My understanding is that Quantopian has no interest in being a platform for HFT. It's there to democratize trading strategies and test them in a sound way. They do a lot to have a good backtesting platform and clean the data that is av

I think my biggest complaint is that someone making minimum wager or near minimum wage will value money above their time, so many will take this opportunity. Most will take up any reasonable opportunity to earn a few extra dollars. However,

I just see it as a way to resell Chinese electricity. Digital currencies do challenge state-backed currencies. They'll never fully take over until taxes are accepted in a digital currency. As a tool for circumventing taxes though, coun

I really hope people aren't using a VPN for untraceable security. VPNs are for privacy, not for getting away with illegal things.

Alternatively, just use Algo. [1] It's a self-hosted, hardened IPSEC VPN that automates setup on multiple cloud providers. 1. https://github.com/trailofbits/algo

I have Du Chinese and I like it a little more than Decipher. I'm always excited when I get a notification for a newbie or elementary lesson. Chinese Skill and Hello Chinese are lesson quiz format and pretty interchangeable. Line Dictio

Tones are tricky in Chinese, on the other hand, there is no conjugation which I really appreciate.

I always feel we will just scale larger and larger. We automate farming and move onto industry. We automate industry and move onto service. Now we are automating service and we will move onto something else, perhaps tech. We are a long ways

Photographs are legal in public. This is just taking that to the extreme. Address that law. What bothers me is ALPR. Taken to an extreme you can just put a camera on every intersection and effectively track all vehicles without a warrant.

Friends and I went to a store once in California. Their sticker on the counter - YOU MUST BE BORN BEFORE [DATE] - was out of date. The clerk couldn't do the math or accept that the sticker was out of date. That was a bizarre experience

The risk is if your payload is not perfect in all cases. Taken to the extreme, you brick a mission critical device and cost a life. This is why malware researchers don't write clean up code once they do C2 takeovers. If their cleanup c
