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 worked! I didn't get the job, and don't honestly

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 the driver advantage is a huge moat for those guys - they ha

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 you were just a number over there, and there were a bu

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 benefit from some combination of medication and seeing a

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 give my kids water straight from the tap, because the level _c

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 find a plumbing service willing to do this kind

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 isn't reality, as OP has discovered. That means that the

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 to look through. That said as the role gets more

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 have to imagine the long term vision is beyond just acceler

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 box" liquor store here has a whole aisle of B

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 always approached it from the angle that you

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. Those BD's would happily take this flow for free

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/2020/33-10906.pdf Basically

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 the pay is phenomenal but I have a hard time imagi

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 was immediately obvious from the shrill tone that he wa

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 your entry in the auction as close as possible to when it run

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 need to show photo ID to vote, so the level of v

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 virulent, we have no widely available non-supportive tre

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. Even if you make a lot of optimistic assumptions -

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 perk post-pandemic. Personally cutting out ~90 m

I'm not quite sure how the terms / licensing for this works, but anecdotally OSE, SGX, TOCOM, BrokerTec and at least the derivatives business in Hong Kong all run on some variant of Nasdaq technology.
