   Any sources of that metric that aren't plagued by political bias, be it progressives or neocons?

   Feature engineering. Transfers about 3.5b records into features that go into a variety of models. Previously was a hadoop streaming job (~40 hours); now about 6.

   Spark has improved our ETL jobs by orders of magnitude, both with respect to performance and ability to engage our workforce (mostly Python programmers). Previous tools that improved workflow: docker, nginx.

   Pretty solid and thoughtful response. Almost makes me want to learn Ruby. Almost.

   Sure, maybe. One could also claim smart students self select top universities.

   So, are you arguing against elite colleges being worthwhile, or in favor of them? Are we not supposed to use every opportunity we get? That's cute ;)

   Absolutely. I kept thinking of an angry mob of unionists screaming "dey took ur jawb!".

    So they have a profitable biz... Why bother with college? What are they going to learn there that they haven't already demonstrated enough savvy to acquire on their own? Seems like a waste of scholarship.

    "PT Barnum in a Jobs turtleneck" has so far been my favorite comment about Holmes. I feel like a broken record, but Theranos really reminds me of Terraliance Technologies. If you havent heard/read about that company, I highly

    It has always been unclear to me why there are fines. Why is the book sacred knowledge? You should expect deception.

    Never in history have we dealt with this economic state at this scale. The notion that any theoretical outcome is a certainty is hilarious.

    Respectfully, do you think that is perhaps a false sense of security? Government surveillance is ubiquitous and American companies are going to track you regardless.

    That would potentially do more harm than good. Crowding out private investment is bad and government contractors aren't exactly efficient. Government isn't going to boost the economy at this point, unless you're advocating WW

    Well, looks like somebody found a "cure" for adblock ;) I miss the Wired of ten years ago. Now whenever I pick one up I am immensely disappointed by the hype and marketing. I remember it being more rigorous with respect to both jo

    I think your viewpoint is fair. The aspects with hft that strike me as unfair are generally the result of bad exchange practices, such as lack of transparency in customer segmentation on their platforms. If it was all out in the open with p

    I'm not hating on derivatives, just the notion that being long gamma is always the best strategy. There is no best strategy.

    1 billion minus a rediculous amount of theta and gamma during the entire bull run. Meh. Out of context link bait.

    Disagree. This is the stage where generic consumers, not just techies, start caring about the fine print and adjust spending habits accordingly.
