I suspect he won't want to get into thorny PR issues, but probably company organization. It's easy to imagine a disorganized startup scaling poorly, and those within it wanting gui…

It's surprising to me that your (former) title wouldn't entail more direct leadership, even as a simple messenger for "shut up and soldier."

It seems you are implying that this sort of arrangement is fundamentally unhealthy for a market focused on accurate price discovery, and I think that's trivially true. Some investi…

Effective strategy. It seems your edge comes from 1. learning about SPACs early and 2. identifying which ones will be successful. How do you get #1?

The examples you selected do not seem representative of the list. For example, the top three incidents involve verifiable journalists. You neglect to mention these before skipping …

I grew up in Maine, and I think the statement is quite accurate. Portland is not authoritarian, but it is by comparison to the northern counties

Why not try to get better at whiteboarding?

with Snap's earnings pop today, it must be tough to be them

Sorry. Fixed list: 1. Set up a pseudo-adversary NN trained to recognize context-correct speech based on a small corpus. 2. Craft a GPT-3 prompt to get N 9s of accuracy 3.Retry if t…

As a daily Pushbullet user, thank you for posting this! It's maddening that the best way to escalate a Google customer service issue is social media.

Have you reversed "entry" and "exit," or is this a reference to something like the CIA's alleged heart attack gun?

From a terminal ballistics background, it seems very unlikely that this injury would appear to be a gunshot wound. Bullets behave very differently according to their mass and veloc…

I have very strong opinions on docstrings; they are simple to implement and completely solve this issue.

I agree that prevention is the best method. For many people, therapy is more like basic self-care (ie, brushing your teeth) than a new limb. There are a great number of experiences…

Let's assume that this event is Google officially jumping the shark (in terms of workplace desirability, which has decreased due to moral turpitude and a gradually lowering enginee…

Thanks. Since it appears all this traffic is Google-related, any guesses as to what the attacker could have gained here?
