I have a serious problem with the "conclusion" of this post. This data isn't normalized against some kind of control group to show that maybe day-trading during Brexit is a different beast than index-tracking during Brexit. Or maybe its the same beast, we can't conclude anything...

I'm beginning to realize the difference between "data scientist" and just looking at numbers to put them on a chart.

Its interesting that simply restricting immediate commenting might at least deter useless comments. People who are commenting in order to elicit a response, i suppose, probably have less important things to say. Or maybe they wouldn't say them if they are not granted the immediate satisfaction.

I assume it would kill some collaboration/innovation like on HN or a meaningful subreddit, but maybe no one really ever has anything meaningful to say when reacting to general news...

I guess it would also produce duplication from many people not knowing something was said already (however, the duplicate reactions could be monetized later down the line maybe...)

I agree, its like being stuck in purgatory. Although, I disagree somewhat with your last statement -- in my experience, all throttled layoffs have been a result of acquisition synergies. The current one around me is by a market leader with a great past and excellent vision of the future.

From my experience there's an easy way out of this: take control of your own career. Ask yourself: are these the conditions I want to work in? whats best for me; family; situation? Are there opportunities here while everyone else is looking over their shoulder?

I agree. TSLA aims to be GE, not GM.

From a stock perspective, I'm long TSLA. The car business is nice, but its just a vehicle for changing the world (and already priced into the stock, really). The real things we have to price is how the technology in a car can apply to all transportation problem/solution sets, how legitimate electric is as a solution for fuel/energy problems (and, long, for space), and also - can TSLA avoid existing regulation barriers and use the US market/economy in time.

Have they truly stopped allowing bots? That's why I stopped playing last year.

I see updated newflashes from both DraftKings and Fanduel in the google results, but they're flagged in our corp firewall blacklist. Does it explicitly say the companies themselves can't use bots anymore? Ironically, figuring out how to get the bots to bet in the most effective way in a few minutes was probably even more skill - what's that R-value?

To his credit, I had a (rather eccentric) founder in NYC ask me if I planned on having kids anytime soon as the first question of his interview - after all the tech questions from people under him.

When I said yeah, and I was planning on commuting from NJ, he said "well I don't want to break up a family, so see you later" <end of interview>. I thought it was rude at the time, but here I am 3 years later and damn if he wasn't right. Dodged a bullet that only he saw was coming right at me.

I don't understand anything you two just said, and it was awesome---this is why i come to HN. Nice work!

FWIW, I've been using Groovy for this purpose to encapsulate processes in *Nix and Windows. Not perfect, not lightweight, but happens to get the job done.

wow, you just fixed everything that i thought was wrong with google. thank you.

and HN is the new best Load Testing tool.

My take is that they restructured into Alphabet to protect for eventualities that google (the core legacy business) may not be the revenue driver forever...

So, haven't they solved this problem - or at least mitigated the risk to shareholders - already?

I have also decided this past Jan 1 to stop Soda. And I've phased out sugar in my morning coffee. Not being a big juice drinker in the first place, I think I'm better off as a long term goal to limit the amount of sugar i "drink". I'll stick to just "eating" it, focus on cutting out more processed sugar and being smart about balanced diet in general.

I do crave it still tho, I have not found myself avoiding fast food either. With two kids under 2, it just kind of makes life easier when I make them good meals and can pick up something quick.

But, wait....

#10 - eat less fat? That runs counter to science too...

I'm officially still a nerd. I thought this was going to be about Agile Sprints. Need more coffee.

sounds like the social situation needs to change, not the explanation.

assuming you're in your 20s now... don't worry, by age 35 there's less explaining and less criticizing.

3) if the children are lined up on the shore safe and sound, they're not actually drowning or at risk of drowning.

Have to agree completely here, and their mobile news app has started to fail completely for me on a galaxy s3. I dont think i'm too far off the new-every-two mobile cycle that the app should be crashing this much.

I've spent this month reassigning most of the email i care about to gmail. After that, I'll figure out a way to migrate off of Fantasy Sports, which is the last app I'll have from them. After that, maybe I'll boomerang back as a customer. But, we'll have to see how much more changes.

Groovy : Java :: Crystal : C ?

I'll go with this theory as well. Anyone have google glass and an augmented reality app from google? That login logo seems like an AR trigger waiting for someone to look at it the right way.

also found the rhgame reference in css...

famous last words....

+1 for using those iso codes. I introduced them at work 4 yrs ago, and everyone looked at me like i had ten heads.

So then you have a networking issue too then. The people kind, not the computer kind.

To bridge that gap, you might want to see if there are tech Meetups in your area. In NJ where I am, there are two extremely active groups that throw together entrepreneurs, investors, devs and developers a few times a month for very low cost. Establish who you are, and get assistance from others, advice sharing, make new contacts, find out where the industry is going, etc.. Normally you walk out of the meetings on a better career path than when you entered.
