I'm so glad the tech bros, here and on twitter, are on top of this epidemic. I don't trust the professors of medicine and scientists advising our governments either if I can't see some Python code and a condescending tweet ab

How else would you distinguish e.g. 18 in the morning or 18 in the evening if you can't say 18am and 18pm.

The point I was trying to make is that the most extreme content (i.e. literal terrorist manifestos) typically is _not_ full of racial slurs or similar content. Look at the manifesto from the Christchurch shooter, for example. Not a single r

I think their methodology of measuring "extremist" content "through a composite measure consisting of the frequency of profane words, racial slurs and negative overall sentiment of the post" is flawed. It will completely

It's not. I'm not a big fan of Google the company, but Google the search engine finds what I'm looking for. If I type "the two magicians from TV" in Google, I get what I'm looking for (Penn and Teller). It&#x27

You've decoupled from the host OS (good thinking), and you've abstracted away from Docker (even better thinking), but how did you decouple from k8s?

That's right. As opposed to stock exchange software, which runs on complex micro-services cloud k8s thing-as-a-thing virtualized rotozooming engines. Wait, no, it's literally just good-old n-tier architecture with one big server p

Women have different hobbies, or indeed careers, than men. Not much competition in the market for manicure salons, for example (I'm aware of Phorest). The women I know tend to have different creatives hobbies than men's creative h

My experience with RFPs is that there are quite a few companies selling solutions, but every single RFP I've seen was basically Excel spreadsheets or similar things, exchanged over email. It's a broken process; you keep chasing va

The CDC has its own recommendations (written by an actual epidemiologist), which don't seem to be the same as those "responsible" recommendations https://www.cdc.gov/eis/field-epi-manual/chapters&#x2

I don't know if it's better or worse, but since governments have a much longer time horizon they can fund more basic research.

It can make a big visible bump in a volatility surface, but experienced option traders are trained not to react like robots, but think instead of following blindly (otherwise it would be very easy to fool them, since it's a relatively

A lot of automated trading is arbitrage and market making, where such a trade would not really be an issue. Regardless, option trading tends to have human traders behind the wheel, and they're trained to figure out what's going on

Systems, tools or processes? I talk to people. Figure out what motivates them, what makes them tick. What they like, what they don't like, what they value. How they work. Their strengths and their flaws. Then adjust based on that. Few

Yeah, right. There's a bit of a jump from "it's thermodynamics" to "do everything Greta says". Skeptics (like me) tend to have a problem with the parts of that science on the right of that spectrum. But even st

It's a country of 10 millions that builds jet fighters (Gripen), 5G technology with Ericsson, Minecraft, etc. The current NASDAQ trading platform was also developed in Sweden. I would say they're doing very well when it comes to b

I think Google is an insecure advertising company. It's as if Phillip Morris International was trying to develop solar panels and vegan food products to make everyone forget that most of their revenue comes from tobacco.
