this smacks of a revenge killing. A SWAT sniper shooting an active shooter has the same result (death), but for some reason this rubs me the wrong way. Was the suspect given a chance to surrender? Did he know the robot approaching was inten

Wow. I was fortunate to be doing my undergrad in Boston at a time when you could hear talks by Weisel, Zinn and Chomsky. I didn't always agree with him but he was an intellectual treasure.

love this site for getting back into the groove before technical phone screens, can anyone recommend another site with similar problems?

not really that surprised; despite the razor thin margin I think most people (myself included) thought a Leave majority was just incomprehensible. I've just returned from a month in London - this has been a good learning experience for

yes! you see, i don't know if it's immaturity or lack of desire, but my "take home exams" always feel half assed. I'm just flat out of gas by the time i get home from the office - last thing I want to do is another

very interesting. Can you recommend any resources for someone with a fairly strong stats / programming background but no real substantive finance experience?

What's the best way to get HTTPS for custom domains? Letsencrypt or Cloudflare? I don't think those are encrypted end to end, no?

For Jawbone, Fitbit et al. the hardware has been commoditized, the software has limited utility and the whole 10,000 steps a day seems like a fad. It's incredibly hard to maintain users once the honeymoon period ends. Personally, I&#x2

I'm only 27, but I think this is a case of great people have great salaries. It's that simple. Do partners at McKinsey or MDs at GS make a shitload of money? yes. But they were good enough to make the cut time and again to be prom

Are there any beginner resources for learning about file systems? Would be smart / harmful to reformat my whole macbook ssd to ZFS?

this is my near exact strategy as well, except for holding a balance of 1,00,000... damn that's impressive.

I too find it distracting. Sooo, I just left our channels with stupid memes and keep only the ones that provide the information I need to do my job. I don't get how people can complain how distracting it is when your not obligated to s

I've purposley avoided Apple Music for this reason. I still use it as my main library, but i've starting using Google Play Music for their radio stations, which I have found superior to iTunes. Anyone have advice for moving off of

Any advice for someone who doesn't currently have a FaceBook? I don't miss it, but it dramatically restricts the number of apps i'm able to use.

the $150 discount on Pixel C is really telling. It's clear that revenue is higher for tablet optimized apps and games and Android really needs to step up to compete with Apple. I'm just a hobby developer, but the last four-ish mon

Whatever "culture" of radical honesty they have does not translate at all to other workplaces. My first experience with an ex-BW manager left me crying at the coffee machine all afternoon. just my n=1 anecdote.

Wow, i know nothing about Ecology, but used to be pretty proficient in R. I don't recognize half those libraries. I think R can pretty well be divided into pre and post "Hadley Wickham" eras. It's really a new language.

This is my n=1 (me) experience. You have to know someone on the inside. Job sites for someplace as large as Google or Apple are a black hole. I always have a friend refer me, which at a bare minimum gets a real human being to read my resume
