Well, it's only a few PB a year. But, I'll say that 20 TB is the higher bound per day. It's seasonal, and maybe the average is 10 TB per day. Personally, I've found the best results with bZip2. But, we use LZO and LZ4

Note: very few, if any, of these examples failed because someone on the team didn't pass a coding test. Next time you interview someone remember: bad code could bring your project down, but there are 9 other factors that are more like

Just a pro tip: you don't want to use GZip since it can't be split, and if you want to parallelize effectively you need to split... that is, unless you're dealing with many small files (<100MB), in which case your cloud st

Also, the Bay Area isn't your only option, if you're willing to move. DC area salaries are up a lot this year. I've had six recruiters in the last two weeks sell me on jobs in the 175-200k range. Plus, Northern Virginia is

I think the author may be missing out on some of the areas of the country where this is happening. For instance, many places aleady have 'de-regulated' markets for energy. See FERC 888 & 889 [1]. And, states like Pennsylvani

I would add that currency needs to be convenient, as well. There's no way that I'm going to lug around a block of gold, a scale, and snips when I have a credit card.

Or a 21st century poultry processing plant worker. I think his point is that those jobs still exist, the working poor are still suffering as much as they always have been, and that there's been a recent reversal in progress. My ancesto

That's assuming that they need their money back. The way I understand it is that there's a glut of money, and the rich are just piling it up and moving it around to where ever the best return seems to be.

Could it also be affected by the Amazon QuickSight preview that is going live?

Doubtful - if global investors aren't putting their money into stocks, they'll just continue to buy up real estate.

One of the biggest issues with illicit drugs is that you never know what you're getting. There's no quality control. Even your usual dealer may not know what they have. There are people that I know who won't eat beef unless

This is very cool. Thank you for doing the work. I hope that someday there's something similar for asynchronous group communication as well as synchronous. Something like Usenet v2.

Gangs aren't such a bad thing. I would say that I belonged to one, and I turned out all right. Gangs provide a lot of opportunity for creativity, problem solving, strategy and tactics, self management, financial management, and leaders

I can't speak for the author, but I pretty much raised myself, and I probably got my values from popular culture.

Also, the data from SMPY seems odd. I took their achievement percentages (# of individuals in top positions 40 years later), and did some rough calculations. The SMPY cohorts seemed to perform much better than if one had randomly selected a

I had to look up Terman and SMPY [1]. I scanned it, and it seems to suggest that IQ 'is kind of bunk' - that it's more effective to evaluate mathematical reasoning, alone. But, what I find more interesting is that not all mat

How many people do you interview annually? Do you happen to keep metrics of what things your top performers did well at the interview? I'm curious to know if implementing a sort correlates with performance. I've probably done &gt

Great, so our descendants can work 70 hour weeks for 120 years rather than just 30.

It would be nice if wages were based on supply and demand. But, it's more like wages are equilibrium points in a dynamic system. For example, if cool software engineer goes from $100k to $200k, then his boss, Mgr #1, is going to want

I don't know, maybe. The members of my family have the hyperactivity part of it, too. But, the hyperactivity is like constantly staying moving (while learning) to avoid that discomfort. And, I totally understand the distraction part

Not to discount your experiences, but that's not at all how I've felt as a sufferer of ADHD (nor my parents or my son). I would describe the feeling of ADHD not as lack of motivation but severe, almost physical, discomfort at att

Unfortunately, while probably well-meaning, articles like this perpetrate ideas that make parents and individuals avoid proven, clinical treatments.

It seems like you're assuming that in our future there will be plenty of jobs for average people to earn a 'living wage' (i.e. enough to pay for basic shelter, food, clothing, education, medical treatment, etc.). What makes

You're just restating what I said with just more words. But, you don't propose an alternative simulation model. I would say that the simulation is actually generous. Wealth is correlated with power. Power creates opportunities

In contrast, what would you propose? Economics isn't always a zero-sum game, but there is usually one who gains more than the other.

I'm not sure why you think that this is political correctness. There's a clear representation gap in employment at high-wage jobs for large portions of the population. And, that's a social issue that has been identified. A

"Education is a proxy for IQ and conscientiousness." Tell that to over 30% of my gifted class who weren't able to attend college (at least not until much later in life). Education is generally a proxy for wealth, a certain ty
