Oracle is laying off a decent chunk of its hardware teams

they're refocusing what areas to target, so they're laying off + hiring -- some of those people will be asked if they want to move to their new teams else they'll get some severance + job placement help

> public schools

to add 2c to the schools debate -- many of the south bay schools e.g. (for hs) monte vista, gunn, palo alto high, harker, menlo-atherton, ... currently have many recent students that are olympics-level athletes and international-level competitors in the sciences/humanities -- I would argue they tend to be better represented in the top US universities than many other places in the country.

ok ill ask - i'm a bit confused why this is on the top

has anyone else gained anything from this - could they point out insight i've missed?

my 2c: It seems like though it does have the word "Deep Learning" - it does a rudimentary approach to stock price prediction and from a research level does not make any novel contributions to learning, architecture or signal finding in finance necessarily -- though I might just be missing something :)
