Lone employee, meet bus. Talk about a failure to take responsibility. Maybe it's the CEO's error to allow a single employee to oversee a catastrophic security breach.

Would be interesting to see that broken down by first vs. second or later. I imagine there are a lot of married couples with 1 or 2 kids that have an unplanned pregnancy, but that's not quite the same as a teenage couple.

Toys 'R' Us might have been a great store when we (I) were kids, but I went there a few months back--what a wasteland. Barbie, GI Joe, and movie tie-in action figures as far as the I can see. Good riddance. People can buy crappy A

FWIW "professional" environments can be pretty boring, though they're also less likely to have death marches and social problems. It really depends on your analysis. Did they seem friendly and interested in including you in t

Strategically, I wonder Google/FB/etc. would do better to pay more taxes. The recent GDPR is a total disaster for them. Maybe it could have been avoided if they paid more taxes, and were on friendlier terms with the EU.

FaceID seems pretty impressive, if it works as advertised, and it sounds like they've thought of a lot of edge cases. I can't get over the black bar at the top of iPhone X though. It looks like it has devil horns...

Also, while its hard to measure objectively, I would expect quality to be higher, because of the incentives. There is a higher pay off to a hit show because it can attract subscribers directly to your stream. In the old model, there is a la

There is an interesting discussion between Hal Finney and Satoshi in 2009 about the possible value of bitcoin. This is back when it was just a random software project, and had zero value: http://diswww.mit.edu/bloom-picayune

Yea, agreed. Specifically they should add a loss function that compares the AI's action stream against a pro human action stream, and attempt minimize that loss.

I'm interested in reading objective, reasonable, preferably peer reviewed papers supporting either side of this argument. If you have any links, please post them.

That's fine but there is obviously demand for BCH trading and by not supporting it, Coinbase/GDAX is forcing otherwise happy customers onto competing platforms.

My point is companies like Google and FB are not a using it to hire low skill workers. Every H1B I met there was very skilled.

Source? I knew a lot of Googlers who were on H1B visa. Not all were Indian. Anecdotally, I know other large companies (FB, etc.) use it as well.

This is going downvoted to oblivion but I think it's a fair point. The Senate / House divide made a lot of sense for 13 colonies, which were kind of like separate entities, but doesn't make as much sense now. For example, why

If they ask you can tell them, but I don't think it really matters. Your boss's job is to find your replacement, that is what he is paid for (or the founder, or whoever you report to). That is why they are paid the big bucks, :) t

Just tell them you are quitting and give two weeks notice. It is at will employment on both sides, this is perfectly normal.
