This is correct. I can independently verify that there are a total of 420 contracts of open interest, and this tweet is fake news.

In my experience, linear can outperform even on larger sizes. This looks like a pretty robust analysis comparing linear and binary search: https://dirtyhandscoding.github.io/posts/performance-compari...

Unfortunately we'll have 9 justices who know little about copyright law and nothing about tech to tell us what the law really is.

If you think that's what you're talking about, then go actually learn what happened. As it is, you're just being the NSA's "useful idiot" by trumpeting their agenda without realizing what you're supporting

If you think statements like "It’s about real estate" are somehow a redefinition of a different term ("the elites") used elsewhere in the document to make it mean something no one else in the world thinks it means, then

The only way in which she anything she said could be consistent with mine is if she used the term "the elites" to mean very specifically "CRE investors." This is a definition she never once even implied, let alone stated

80% of my friends are ex-coworkers. Some i even made from WFH. So, I think making friends at work is important, but I'm not sure how much being in-person is necessary. Granted, I've seen how our developers rarely make friends with

You do realize companies function better when employees are friends, right? I'm not saying forced daily association is the way to make them friends, but you can see the logic behind trying to encourage it.

Keep on carrying water for the NSA. We can live in a total surveilace world just by triggering you with "banks are bad." People use iMessage/Signal/WhatsApp for myriad reasons: some good, some bad. There's no eviden

What do you think we should assume about your communications on encrypted channels? This entire thing is yet another federal effort to criminalize encrypted communications, and it even works on the HN crowd. All they have to say is "bi

All the government needs to do to get HN on board with criminalizing encrypted communications is to implicate a bank. Bear in-mind, the SEC didn't find any actual criminal activity here. The banks just failed to retain the conversation

You're citing amateur races with hobbyist athletes, not professional caliber ones. It's very disingenuous of you to pick these examples when objective measurable long distance data is abundant.

Interesting. I think you'd find that doing this in chunks of 128-bit wide vectors with platform-agnostic logic would be even better. Have you tried something like Google Highway or writing this exact logic in scalar code and seeing if
