   I used to work at ESRI, too. Nevertheless, I hope you realize that recommending ArcGIS in this context is analogous to somebody doing a blog post on PostgreSQL and you recommend people try Oracle, too. And then, somebody mentions that there

   I think the issue is that some people think that $2,000,000,000 USD and 8 years should be able to produce a better first product.

   I do - or more accurately -I did. I remember years back there were techniques published that you could use by tweaking the URL to trick Google into giving you specific pages. I am sure people quite software to exploit that.

   why wouldn't you be able to just keep the same syntax and make it twice as fast in a newer implementation?

   Ugh... Let me give you a different point of view that will most likely not be popular in HNs, but what the hell. I have had employees like you, and I try to scan like the plague during interviews to avoid hiring folks like you. The thing is

   Yeah this really sucks and really messed up. This source is far more legit.

    Although this is a topic that is easy to get angry about, I can't honestly trust anything that I read from theroot.com since I have seen many articles that are just racially charged and completely biased. Just a few days ago, they post

    Well, this is where you are wrong. I have worked in the core team at several multi-billion dollar companies (e.g. Microsoft, NVIDIA, etc) and have received job offers to lead teams from other similar companies (including the one you mention

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. Such an interesting look into the world of HFT. I particularly like the parte of tapping into the cable directly, looking at the first bytes of the packet, and sending the order before the entire pa

    Shutdown exchanges in the US, South Korea, China and Japan and you'll see how quickly everything explodes. Just the mere suggestion that South Korea was about to do this tanked the market.

    My point is that - as described - it is a dumb comparison. > open source serverless platform which is faster than bare-metal code does't make sense. It eventually has to run on top of bare metal (via hypervisor or directly), so clai

    You need a point where the cryptocurrency changes to fiat (e.g. USD). At certain scale, you cannot meet at a venue and do face-to-face cash transactions. That is why those exist. Also, those are friction points where anti-money laundering p

    I am honestly torn. I have used kraken to make several thousands of dollars, but I am always at awe with myself for using such a shitty site. If any of the other exchanges could figure out how to validate faster, you would see an influx fro

    Why wouldn't you be able to train it to recognize expected behavior from a mockup? You could easily create a nomenclature of symbols to define standard behavior (⇑ could mean draggable upload for example). Even if you can get it to tak
