Read my edit. There were reasons for societies to be sexually conservative. It wasnt random and it wasnt just on the whim of oppressive men.

Its really this simple. Its the two universe thing, if you haven't experienced how easy it is for some men to get women, then you cant understand it. I spent my whole 20s doing this, this was my identity. I'm not even proud of it,

The trick is I'm not an incel. I'm the opposite. I've seen this with my own two eyes for years and am completely shocked by it.

This is a widespread societal change that I think most people are completely unaware of. The majority of women are sleeping with the top 10% of men, sometimes only the top 3-5%, with the rest barely getting any at all. the sexual revolution

Maybe but I really dont think AWS comes off this way. To me, AWS seems like this massive complex system with a million overlapping services that engineers like. What if cloud adoption is bottom up and not top down?

Their stock is booming as well. This is a fundamental repricing, going forwards ecommerce will become the norm as the slow adopters move onto it quicker. SHOP could be worth way more under a post pandemic economy. This isnt the same economy

The real issue with data science, from the perspective of ML pipelines/using ml in products, is most people are straight up not smart enough for it. The second the problem falls outside the bounds of a commonly used model, 90% of data

The main business model of these two firms is quickly becoming selling location data to hedge funds. This needs to be illegal.

The funny part is they scoff at an extra 50k for a better programmer, and then watch as that cheaper guy that looks good on paper writes a pile of garbage

I think being a loner is a high variance strategy. In a majority of the time, it hurts you in our society. But certain individuals will see huge levels of success. It's similar to the genetics of schizophrenia. Families with genetic sc

No. There is enough oil on the planet for another 500 years. There is no shortage.

Let the peak oil hysteria from the 80s and 90s be a reminder to everyone here how fallible common beliefs are among the population.

Yeah absolutely, the value of the Harvard PhD in this story is the name and nothing else.

I've always viewed it as paradoxical that the left is both: 1.) For the welfare of the worker, social programs, universal healthcare, "standard of living" 2.) Open borders immigration, free trade, outsourcing, and other ultra

Yeah worked in the industry as well, there's a story an older buddy used to tell when he worked at PIMCO in the 90s. Bit different than a quant fund but still applies. They hired a few Harvard Economics PhDs, who when looking at their

Seems to me that firms like two sigma and jane street form some sense of "mystique" about them with regards to how elite their developers are. But once you get inside, most people are writing run of the mill software. Google has t

They fill up with a few TBs of RAM and then turn off garbage collection. Always surprised people dont know about this.

Nope. It does matter. The credit markets which deal with corporate debt could fail as a result. This will drag down the rest of the economy. The main issue is most people dont understand the contagion and risks taken on by the practices I l

People are completely underestimating how much leverage and pumping there was on those companies, and how thats effecting us now. Companies dropping 75% because they might lose 3 months of revenue is not an expected outcome.

by codingslave 7y ago
Look at Boeing stock. Companies dropping 50% because they miss 3 months of revenue?

by codingslave 7y ago
Everything is related. Imagine if the market only dropped a bit, large companies could support their employees, the credit markets wouldnt require massive trillion dollar spending. Supporting small businesses would be a walk in the park.

The stock market is largely collapsing because: 1.) Hedge funds levered up their capital 5 - 15x to make more money, then got caught with their pants down. So they all panic sold at once, crashing the market. 2.) CEOs of large corporations

Most of this is to obscure their admission criteria. Harvard has come under fire for actively discriminating against Asian applicants. By removing a standard test, these colleges can actively discriminate whilst making it more difficult to

Right, but IQ tests are illegal.

Being good at coding can be predicted by IQ. Being good at white boarding puzzles require IQ. -----> White board puzzles filter for good coders. Its not perfect, but its the best way to scale it. Sorry everyone, this isn't going awa
