It's always good to understand what the policy is on an offer like this, but most credit card intro rates are not like this - it is typically store charge accounts that offer "12 months same as cash" that accrue interest and

Not defending their actions in this particular case, but yes, I think it is completely reasonable for a service like MailChimp to be concerned about unauthorized use of user accounts. If someone takes over a MailChimp account, it is almost

I am interested in this area too, but I don't know of any single place to follow it all. I have found that there isn't an avalanche of "new" stuff, but a lot of different ideas with different tradeoffs that change in rel

And then when a dependency of one of your dependencies is broken agains the latest version. I know some of this has been cleaned up, but it is one of the main reasons I no longer use Scala - I have a rule about how long I'm willing to

There was definitely a large and vocal part of the community that wanted that, but I think early on there was a lot of tension between Scala being "better Java" and "Haskell for the JVM", and that probably hindered a lot

I don't this is an area of corporate law that has been super thoroughly tested? But I think the theory is - Look, we had $X in our account on Wednesday and did a payroll run that was more than covered, but then our bank went under and

1:1 banking essentially guarantees long-term loss of principal for depositors, albeit slowly. The main "service" a bank would provide in that scenario is holding onto your money for you and instead of paying interest on it, chargi

I guess, in its own way, knowing that there will be constant layoffs is a form of clarity?

Huh? Twitter has had almost monthly rounds of layoffs, including one a few weeks ago that took out some fairly high profile employees. They also have arbitrary firings and people being let go without being told [1]. I'm certainly not g

Zen 2 architecture came out in 2019 and this particular processor in 2020. I don't think your advice would work here, and there are definite downsides to waiting too many years after a processor has been released to buy it.

There is no credible threat of invasion of the mainland US, even with a much smaller military, so the difference in threat to CA/NY vs Ohio is pretty small. And, at any rate, Defense budget support is more due to economic implications

Certainly, although I think that is much closer to "force" than "raising the price". Also, it is politically infeasible in Utah.

This has been happening for commercial/residential cases, but most agriculture is based on water shares - a right to a certain amount of water that someone purchased a long time ago, so you can't really raise the price on them. On

I guess, why do you want to stay up to date on all sorts of stuff like this? It is more than any single human could reasonably process, even if they did it 24x7. Even people working in finance are going to be focused on fairly small areas d

Context is important - for a random person wanting to keep up better on financial stuff, $2500/month is extremely pricey.

I remember in the first dot-com bust, CPMs/CPCs fell like a rock, so everyone was cramming more ads onto pages to make up for it, which added a lot more inventory, which caused them to fall further. The market is much, much bigger thes

No. This was for more of a machine learning engineering role than a pure ML scientist role though.

I'm not sure what I'm missing, but don't most cloud providers have ARM instances these days? We've been running most of our stuff on Graviton processors on AWS for some time now and it is a nice cost savings.

The remote functionality is nice, as is the auto-away part. Those alone make it worthwhile, but I agree that the "smart" functionality leaves much to be desired. Ours, somehow, has gotten into a state where it thinks we like to bo

It is not, but I didn't think ABET accreditation was a big thing for CS and was more common in engineering? CMU and Stanford, for example, do not have ABET-accredited CS programs, although MIT does.

That's a good question, given that it hasn't been a huge deal so far in my career. Two things: First, I realized I wanted to dig deeper into CS topics. I love this field more every year I am in it and wanted to round out my knowle
