The first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club.

It's your class. You can decide what a grade is worth.

I had many teachers who would give better grades to better people.

Who do you think is "better" or more deserving?

As an individual, it's not really possible to treat everyone equally.

Do you treat people unequally if you know they are smarter? What if someone else told you they were smart? If they have a high IQ, would that matter to you? Based on which college they graduated from? If they work 16 hours a week? What about 16 hours a day?

Attractiveness is an indicator just like any other [1]. It's just a reality.

TL;DR: Discipline beats motivation

This hits hard and true.

Don't make me type shift on the command line. It makes my pinky finger hurt after a long day.

a one minute change isn't ran or tested, almost by definition.

Who cares what one person out of 500,000 did one time in 2018?

I only get an hour together or a bit more if I'm lucky.

In terms of people I've hired, if they can solve and code things in real time on a white board, then they can definitely do even better with more time and research.

Everyone does better with research, trial, and error. That's not unique. What's unique is problem solving on your feet in a foreign environment. I want those people.

Just curious, have you ever used AWS?

If you're not doing your own chip design and fab, there's really no one else in town to buy from. AMD, Intel have fallen well short in GPUs. TPUs from Google/Amazon are a more likely threat long-term.

Not that large

Why not do it based on their favorite color?

They gave it to him. They put it on his car.

How do I apply a function to every element of a data frame where that function takes as input the i,j indices of the element along with its value?

This is a problem I struggled on for weeks in college. Eventually having to hack something together that relied on modifying the underlying data frame.

I've not return to R since as python has always had better libraries and easier to deploy.

In python, your MRI analysis library could be trivially hooked up with other cloud data pipelines. Companies would require fewer training courses on average.

python is the most popular programming language in the world and getting better.

They really don't. I've been at such an org as described by OP. I've owned a system of production R/Excel and it was migrated to cloud + python + ETL over 4 years.

The places where Excel are used are fairly appropriate. Way downstream, for simple tasks.

Agreed

Will 6GHz perform in buildings than 5GHz?

If you don't mind me asking, how big is your house? What are the interior walls made from?

I live in an apartment and can't get 5Ghz signal in my bathroom which is 20 feet from the router.

This doesn't account for the extra value those folks will create.

This is not an economic problem. It is a trust problem.

2, 3, and 5 are features.

I would say remembering to pay capital gains tax on a coffee transaction is pretty shitty too.

Classic dismissal of disruptive technology because it seems marginally beneficial.

I absolutely guarantee it will change your spending habits this coming decade.

I'm not sure if there's a way to understand until you experience it being walking distance from your office.

Oh. Single core.

That's...sad.

Can you do it 20 times in a row like I did?

What jobs are okay to remove next for you? What makes one job more okay to remove than another?

There is an immense difference between what you describe and the user experience of Amazon Go. It was one of the most revolutionary experiences once I got accustomed to it.

I used to regularly get lunch in < 30 seconds at Amazon Go. My record was 12 seconds for a soda and sandwhich. They added more processing time for that calculation at some point. But I basically could get things as quick as my feet could take me in and out.

It's really not the same experience. You should try it when you get the chance.

Here are my most recent trip times according to the app (assume a 15s overestimate to my real experience):

37s - Dr Pepper

32s - Dr Pepper

1m12s - Dr Pepper, sandwhich, cookies

33s - Dr Pepper

1m33s - Dr Pepper

36s - Dr Pepper

44s - Vitamin Water

46s - Sandwhich, cookies

30s - Vitamin Water

32s - Dr Pepper

31s - Dr Pepper

35s - Dr Pepper

I would estimate that most of these have a 15s overestimate.

This has not been a Dr Pepper advertisement.

My willpower is exponentially bigger at 8PM on my hardest days than at 5:30AM following my easiest day.
