To be fair this is what I would do if I wanted to get a good wage for working on Tesla Autonomous vehicles - buy a Tesla stick a LiDAR on the roof rack and show Elon what the technology can do. I'm not seriously saying this is some amb

I think there's a lot to be gained by really digging into this. There's no revenue tax for corporations in the US, the tax on profits is 21% - so Apple is taking more in revenue than those ARPANET guys are taking on profits. There

It's pretty fascinating to see the conversation here. No talk of the product at all (not surprising, twitter is about a decade behind in product innovation) but it really feel's like this is the perfect product to attack Google an

They don't want to be a porn site. The problem they have is that the porn content drives away advertisers and non-porn related contant. So they have to steer away from porn, but wherever they draw the line there are going to be people

I've got to ask- what is dangerous about this road? More generally, the roads with fatalities aren't necessarily "dangerous" per se, they're places where drivers make bad decisions. For example, wide roads are fast

I'm kind of more intersted in why you know this. There's lots of weird esoteric stuff that I know that I need as part of my job, but what are you doing that requires you to know this that isn't "copy paste this number in

No it doesn't, this is absolutely not the end of privatization. Private companies will still be running all the trains, the only difference will be they'll be run under the branding of GBR so that people can't complain about

Disclaimer: I haven't used RH. However, if the person you're responding to is correct about their UI it's negligent. The price of an option does not vary only with whether "you think the price will go up". Essential

In job interviews my experience is that you're asked to design data structures to solve a problem, whereas in a real job you use data structure to solve a problem. In the job interview they're trying to find out if you understand

If you want to learn it for job interviews, I've got to say, just trawling through hacker rank[1] practice questions for C++. Read the question, attempt the question, read up on the theory behind the question and read the discussion pa

I think that's a pretty difficult argument to make. Why can Disney do this, but Amazon can't. Why can Netflix do this, but Amazon can't. Why can ViacomCBS do it with Paramount+ but Amaozn can't? Almost the entire history

Hey, thanks for the great talk, I often type something like "journalctl -xfe" and just get completely lost, you mentioned that's out of scope for this talk but do you have a recommendation for some hints about how to use jour

What I'm confused by is that they say this is important to do, but then don't actually seem to do it?

This is pretty meaningless though since that 18 wheeler is transporting your magnum condoms to walmart so it's just going to be passed back onto you in higher prices when you next want to create balloon animals.

I think this is great advice. You're not always in a position to use this advice, this is the most extreme approach, but I think it's good to be aware of the most extreme approach. Very often a lot of this doesn't apply. 2 Ye

To be honest I don’t see this stopping until the countries hosting these hackers are held to account. Prolific ransom ware gang in Russia? Well I guess Moscow doesn’t have a power grid for a few days. Letting your citizens attack foreign ho

One thing I will say is if you are happy to walk an hour, London is fantastic. Most people don’t want that on their daily commute. London is in a weird political situation too - the national government is conservative but the mayor is labou

As an engineer in the UK this is probably true. I’m currently in finance which to some extent defies gravity, but in general it’s true that a good Software engineer salary in London is 50-100k pounds. FANG probably 100-150. And your effect

Isn't this just the same thing idiots did for Trump though? Look at whatever Trump does, and then find a reason in retrospect why actually that was a smart move. SpaceX wins contracts because they are able to send payloads into space,

Not the person you were replying to, but broadly, Market makers delta hedge in the future. What this means is you take your option, you figure out how much the price depends on the future, and that's your delta. An at the money option

I'm a little skeptical of this, this is the same as saying Tesla is going to have self-driving because they can record all the decisions current Teslas make. The truth is that it's very path dependent. For Tesla this means you can

No I think this is actually a fair point, take Musk for example, he owns about 20% of TSLA which is worth ~120B and his total worth is ~150B. If Musk chose to liquidate that then we'd have to speculate quite broadly about what the new
