Not true. I'm a run of the mill developer. I had another offer, I called google, told them I had another offer. They skipped all the rounds but the final.

I am curious about this as well. I think the difference between machine learning and software engineering is that companies may only need a few dozen machine learning engineers. They may need thousands of software engineers. There may be in

"Some guy got access to Podesta's email through a fishing attack." -Hmm, the fishing email was sent from a server in Russia. "Don't worry Trump will never win." Trump wins. "HACKING, RUSSIANS HACKED THE EL

Ever heard of how difficult attribution is in hacking? They got access to the emails through a fishing attack. Even if the attack IP address originated from Russia, you think they really know it was Russia? Come on. This is pure manipulatio

The amount of propaganda in the news right now is at an all time high. The general population is becoming acutely aware of this though. There is a narrative pushed by every major news station that is false. The Russian hacking allegation is

All ad tech stocks that are not GOOG and FB are getting slammed. They cannot compete against the data and ML talent of those two companies.

So then why make them at all? To prepare for when selling them is a necessity?

I think this is a selection bias. In my experience most of the people attending meet ups are people trying to learn about the topic. They view it as a free class, way to network into a job using that technology, or something similar.

Could this be one of the most meaningless and trite jobs whilst still maximizing prestige? How many people will work this job in despair? How many intelligent people will spend years coding the obscurity that is test infra?

Because that idea is a fantasy, it has never come to fruition and never will. Progress is made through real incentives. Wouldnt it be nice if nobody stole from eachother? Sounds great doesnt it? Then why doesnt it happen? The play chips are

What do you mean by glances? You mean they are suspicious of your work quality? They dont want to hire you? Or they just give you a quick glance (because of the gap) and hire you anyways?

Can anyone in this thread speak to how it would impact a software engineers career in the USA? I've considered doing this for a while, just afraid to give up all I've worked for

Can I ask what your career was before leaving? I've worked very hard to get to where I'm at, solving machine learning problems for a great company. But I really just want to quit and travel the world. Leaving behind all the effort

"But then, there should be little variability among successful unrelated families, and that is just not so." This does not follow from your first statement. It's not a logical conclusion. For your reduction to a binary set of

It's genetics, why is this such a mystery? The whole point of evolution is that you pass on good traits. When people do well, they pair with other people who are good genetically, and through the generations, their children do well. Wh

No they don't. Adderall is speed it just floods your brain with dopamine. Everyone feels more focussed. It's all propaganda pushed by the drug companies. With all due respect, I am baffled at how people can believe this.

No the car just drives out of its way to pick up new people, they do it to make the ride profitable. It is completely unreliable as a ride to work, since a 30 minute commute can turn into an hour one if the algorithm takes the car too far o

I live in Manhattan. This is a rip off. The Uber Pool rides can take up to an hour sometimes, they drop off and pick up up to five people on your way. Uber if you are reading this, everyone in NYC realizes what a waste of time Uber Pool is.
