Wow this is a blast from the past. I remember watching this in college around 2008 or so, and it leading me to apply for their internship program. I guess as marketing material it …

Yeah it seems pretty unrealistic to expect Intel to catch up to the NVIDIA and AMD duopoly on their first generation of (modern) cards. Intel seems to have rightly recognized that …

I used them, but only because they have a relationship with my brokerage that allowed me to get preferential terms. If not for that I'd have preferred someone local, you could tell…

Hard to extrapolate from just what you've said here, but: - This level of anxiety, especially if you experience it in other settings, doesn't sound normal and you might well benefi…

IIRC the level after running the water for 5 min in the morning was around 1 PPB, so not high enough to freak out about, but not zero. I just generally assume that I should not giv…

Not only that, but it's really difficult to get the service line replaced even if you're willing to pay for it. We went through the exercise a few years ago. It can be difficult to…

It feels like there is an attitude here that you should be able to recoup the cost of training a junior hire by paying them below market rate for for their new skills. This just is…

Not to mention that AED's are more prevalent in public spaces these days. If you can provide CPR _and_ use the AED the chances of survival increase dramatically.

Personally I will always look through side projects or a GitHub if it's on a candidates resume. It's another source of signal and can be really valuable especially if there is code…

Interesting reading through all the negative comments here. Maybe this is an indictment of the state of the web, but it seems to clearly solve a problem a lot of people have. Also …

Good quality domestic craft beer and imports are typically very easy to find in most populated areas in the US in my experience. Granted I'm in a big city (Chicago) but the "big bo…

I don't like this solution either, but kind of weird to see defending / explaining away ghosting as normal in some of these posts. When I'm involved in the hiring process I've alwa…

The economics don't quite work the way you describe. The brokerage is forwarding your flow to one of it's partner broker-dealers who is providing the actual execution service. Thos…

The payment for order flow piece is a little confusing as presented in the press release, but the actual SEC order makes this a little clearer: https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin…

Curious if any FAANG employees know if this kind of thing is still standard above a certain level, or does say "staff" level and above tend to be internal promotions only? I guess …

We've tried to continue patronizing independent bookstores during the pandemic, but it's not surprising they are struggling (our favorite recently closed). The value-add over Amazo…

Take a look at this: https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/trading-investing/t... At the end of the day though, the allocation prior to trading starting in the secondary market …

Not the OP but you get tuned into this pretty quick going through the normal gamut of kid issues. The _worst_ cry I've heard our son do was when he had a double ear infection, it w…

HFT market maker here (my views are my own), there are some consequences that immediately fall out from periodic batch auctions like this. 1. There will still be a race to update y…

What is the actual attack vector here for taking advantage of incorrect voter rolls? Just that it's easier to vote more than once by mail than in person? Where I am in IL you don't…

If CPD has a lot of positive press out there I've certainly missed it. In the last five years alone: - Homan Square interrogation facility revealed where CPD detained suspects with…

I'm not arguing that we need to entirely restrict activity, sorry if that was unclear. However, very little is fundamentally different today than in March. The virus is no less vir…

I've seen a lot of people on social media tout a 0.5-1% death rate as if that's inconsequentially low, which is baffling to me. 0.5% of the US population is 1.6 million people. Eve…

Great move by Twitter. It's a big lift to move from mostly in-office to 100% work from home, so if you've done it successfully it seems like a no-brainer to retain that option as a…

IMO the severity of the situation and the economic fallout has become more clear over the weekend as more states have issued broad orders regarding school/restaurant/bar closures a…
