How can you click vouch? (I thought I had enough karma to do all the extra ops). I don't agree w/the article but that's why comments and voting are for, not flagging which feels almost as censoring.

I wonder whose fault is that.. if you build a feature that almost on one will use, then is the 'API' too arcane, everyone too lazy, or are there no tools available to ease the pain?
573.
by zzleeper 10y ago
True, which means laws can be passed to enforce this. Same with tobacco antitrust, trains, water, power, etc. Of course the costs might not be really worth it..

Dude ATI was in 2006, but in 2009 they divested Global Foundry in 2009 (which were a HUGE chunk of ATI's assets)

Even if you got the data legally, you might not want to disclose it, because i) It makes it seem more boring ("oh we just made an api call") ii) It opens the door to the other party saying that you violated the TOS (although they

I can't log into amazon.com to check my orders (first time that happened). THat's quite surprising as often these problems are unrelated

TBH, visiting non-uber cities is a complete pain in the ass for me; I would prefer uber even at the same price. The are less likely to rip you off, easier to catch (just press a button), to keep a record on for reimbursements, to pay (by cc

Why would she even approve that? She looks insane...

I'm always surprised why more people don't just do F12, ctrl+shift+M (on Chrome) while writing their websites. Just four keystrokes :)

On my phone, I switched from Chrome to Firefox because many websites had ads that used the phone vibrator, others redirected to the play store, etc. It's insane and you can't disable it from Chrome...

10 years is the life of a VC fund, because that's the largest horizon that a wealthy investor is willing to part with his money even if it's not a large fraction of his wealth. To ask almost the same (6-8 yr vesting period) to a w

by zzleeper 10y ago
Yours is the most reasonable answer and I wish more engineers understood this. As long as there is a nontrivial fraction of engineers that don't, then startups can take advantage of these ridiculous vesting periods and terms.

They are not sharing it: "Oquant approximation (prop mathematical algorithm)" They just derive more value from selling this to everyone than from investing in-house. Partly because if you want to get some alpha in hft or whatnot

Yes. Depending on what are you including, a better alternative might be to use Pandoc filters that change their output depending on the output format. So for latex you might end up with fancy figures side-by-side, but for word you just have

I am guilty of that. But what can I do? I use dropbox as a sort of backup (in case of a lost laptop or HDD failure), which doesn't work with git. When pushing to personal & private projects that's fine, but I need a better b

Looks REALLY cool. By the way, if you have an index or a way to know how far do you go, that would be useful (to get an idea of how much do I know already, etc.)

Thats BS. See the FC Barcelona case for instance. One player told another of a 'trick' to pay less taxes, and so on, and now half of their stars are on trial for tax evasion on multiple countries. Also, there is no way an acct wil

True, but at the same time it's odd for open source projects to not have py3k compatibility. Hell, the stuff I have on github has no python 2 compatibility because honestly after spending some time in Python 3 it really feels like a st

I'm surprised that you are grayed out (downvoted), as you are the only comment that brings some information about why Chavez appeared. The current narrative is to blame Venezuela's fuck up on the left, but for me it was the fault

by zzleeper 10y ago
Chavez was more like the poison pill or the neck around the rope. The next question is how did Venezuela drove itself to a point where people elected him? They had a lot of money from oil, almost no taxes (or no taxes at all??), and still h

Is there a way to filter pay-to-win games? I can pay, but I want to have fun and progress with skill/practice instead of by paying. Last week I spent 20 minutes on the google app store and at the end almost everything was "free&qu

Is there a reason for non-console players to even buy in DVD form anymore, instead of Steam or similar markets? I mean, I get that if you live in Canada or Australia your bandwidth sucks and you have caps, but for most cases download speeds

What pisses me off is that after they are done going through the data, they often still don't release the files. There is a reason why publicly available information is useful (think about historians for instance), and by locking it fo
