kami8845··on Lessons learned building an ML trading system
Thanks for sharing. Do you think building the strategy on another exchange such as Coinbase Pro or pursuing a strategy that wasn't as latency-sensitive might've yielded more success?
kami8845··on 737 Max Scandal Cuts Boeing's Once Rock-Solid Image
Hey do you have a source for this story?
kami8845··on AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X and 3970X Review
This comment made my day :)
kami8845··on No limit: AI poker bot is first to beat professionals at multiplayer game
No it's not, what are you talking about? I've met thousands of young Europeans and ones that speak 4 languages are extremely rare. Unless they're from countries where they get 2 languages "for free" like Holland/Belgium/Switzerland. Definitely not "pretty normal".

What are you thinking about?

kami8845··on I've stopped flying to conferences for climate change reasons
The data from the article you provided talks about violent and non-violent protests and the numbers required for it. If 11,445,000 people were to storm the White House I imagine that would indeed have quite the effect. I don't see how it's related to not flying planes or not eating meat to effect climate change.
kami8845··on Deliveroo users are getting defrauded
Indeed, maybe there's an app called "Delilaloo" on the App Store that serves as the frontend for these scams
kami8845··on Deliveroo users are getting defrauded
Yeah this is the part I also don't quite understand.

What they may do is:

Order items that aren't as perishable such alcohol & ice cream (e.g. Ben & Jerries) and then resell those via partner off-license shops.

kami8845··on Passport queues vex airlines
Flying between Germany, the UK, Spain and Holland the last few months there was a police ID check at departure or arrival of every trip.
kami8845··on When You Watch Sports, Your Brain Thinks You’re Playing
I think your assertion that people who were born and grew up in the same country bear 0 resemblance goes against a lot of modern statistics.
kami8845··on How Zilliqa built a billion-dollar blockchain startup in Singapore
There are many ICOs that raised that much
kami8845··on Shkreli Got Prison Time, Holmes Didn’t. Is That Fair?
Yeah interest is how we value the opportunity cost of money. Saying that his investors missed the dip is as pointless as saying his investors missed the opportunity to short the SPX from the top.
kami8845··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2018)
I find the tone of your response at the least weird and very possibly off-putting. Please don't do that: be a bit nicer.
kami8845··on Tell HN: New features and a moderator
Haha, looking at your profile page, your comment karma is increasing at about 20 upvotes / min
kami8845··on Tech job listings are down 40% on several job boards
From my experience the jobs I have found on "Authentic Jobs" have never been from the tech startups that I actually want to work at, since those primarily use AngelList, StackOverflow, GitHub, weworkremotely, Hacker News etc. to advertise their jobs.
kami8845··on Twitter Acquires Magic Pony
While not 100% comparable this feels as weak a move as selling Facebook to Yahoo for $1B

London needs strong, original startups. It's dire if you're looking for employment out here.

kami8845··on LocationIQ — Free and Fast Geocoding Service
Here is the Docker image for the geocoding stack that foursquare uses, with all world data already set up (would take you about a day to set up yourself):

Another sad moment for the London startup scene as one of the most promising startups of recent years get acqui-gobble-hired up by $BIGCO
kami8845··on Born for it – How the image of software developers came about
Maybe it made more sense for the business to have you as a developer writing code and her as a manager rather than you as a manager and her writing code?
kami8845··on CDN77 Now Supports Brotli
If we are talking about web content then how exactly is it not comparable?
kami8845··on Ask HN: Why are London devs paid so much less than SF/NY?
If you're a decent dev in London you can quite easily land a ‎£400/day contract.

Congrats you are now making ~£90k or $130k / year!

(This is where it starts. £400/day is aiming low)

kami8845··on AlphaGo and the Future of Computer Games: Conversation at U. of Alberta [video]
Nobody? Come on, somebody help the poor guy out.
kami8845··on London’s startup scene is getting more sophisticated
In the TV show "Project Runway" they pit a bunch of fashion designers against each other. At the end they judge the clothes that they've made. One of the more positive they can say about a piece is "It looks expensive". The trained eye can quickly ascertain things like that (the material, the cut, the stitching). One of my friends (she works in fashion) says she can immediately tell if a guy is wearing high-street brands (H&M and the like).
kami8845··on London’s startup scene is getting more sophisticated
I was offered a single room (small but livable) 5 minutes walk off Brick Lane for £535 all incl. If you work in Shoreditch you can easily walk to work, so no transport costs. That leaves £500 for food & other spend. If you cook for yourself this is very plausible.

Of course finding a room like that and getting it over the other dozens of people who want it is not that easy, but that's a system you can hack too.

kami8845··on London’s startup scene is getting more sophisticated
You can live on £1000 per month. Of course it's not as much fun as spending more money (especially since the people you see on the street seem lavish in their spending). It's very easy to get accustomed to an expensive lifestyle.

In SF, is it possible to rent a single room 15 minutes walk from where all the tech companies are located for $800 / month? Because in London you can.

kami8845··on London’s startup scene is getting more sophisticated
Why any serious founder would show their face at a tech meetup is beyond me. What an utter waste of time for early-stage startups.
kami8845··on Show HN: GitMap – Interactive map of top 10,000 repos clustered into ecosystems
Well, React.js _was_ made by Facebook.
kami8845··on My startup failed, and this is what it feels like (2014)
I think it's a bit arrogant to ask people to delete their comments.

But of course I will delete my comment if you delete yours.
