Question to all those saying this is because of Sabre:
How? Does the TrueBlue password somehow go through Sabre's systems? The truly old business unit of Sabre that everyone is referencing is Travel Network. I'm not sure why an airline's loyalty program would intersect with Travel Network other than through the back end of a booking tool.
We work for the same company. I've always wondered how many of us there are on HN.
Yup. "Math is hard, I'm going to study psychology! Weeeee!"
Looks like he hasn't updated his website design since the late 90's.
How do you track things you're interested in Excel? For instance, if you're into python, would you make a python worksheet and fill it with goals and things to read?
Doesn't have the DFW either. I really feel like the country wouldn't even know San Antonio existed if it wasn't for the Spurs and the Alamo. It doesn't seem like a place people find desirable to move to it seems.
I love reading things like this and it inspires me to travel and be different. However, as much as this appeals to me and I want to quit and travel, doing something like this is definitely a career wrecker. That and student loans are my biggest hindrance.
I suppose Google will be hiring a lot of meteorologists! This would be a very fun project to work on.
What part of finance do you think will go first ? Finance is highly subjective, and while I don't think it isn't at risk of being taken over by AI, I think it will be quite a while before a machine can make the proper subjective decisions a finance professional makes.
> If Nook had just cleaned up its dictionary, bumped up the resolution on the screen, improved its frontlight (as it was the frontlight "glaze" or whatever washed out the display significantly), and kept polishing the software, they might have stood a better chance. The epub capability is a huge win.
How does that saying go? If squares were round they'd be circles, or something like that.
I cannot imagine how shocked he must have been to have such immense amounts of knowledge at his fingertips. Coming out of prison and seeing new incredible technologies would be amazing. When I was a teenager I worked at a grocery store and I was washing my hands in the bathroom. The faucets were motion activated. A man walked up to them and looked at them and then looked at me and said, "How do you turn these on?" I told him that you just put your hands underneath and they turn on automatically. He said, "Wow, I've been in prison for a while."
I used to backtest trading indicators a lot and the majority of time the indicator would work on a stock like Apple but wouldn't work on a stock like Tyson Foods. Or any other stock. I was just fitting the curve.
Any MBA program worth it's salt doesn't let people in unless they have work experience.
Did a little bit of both for me. Made me wish I had the skills to work for him.
I'm a finance guy who has been reading about NLP and sentiment analysis. Any introductory books on this subject that you'd recommend for a non-linguist interested in NLP and sentiment analysis? I'm well versed in python/R.
I definitely have more posts where this happens and I delete it than actual posts. It works great.
I do this as well. It's funny when you've struggled with a problem for an hour or so the day before and then the next day you sit down and figure it out in 10 minutes.
I started reading about Django recently so this is a noob question, but what's the controller in Django? All I've seen with with a lot of code is models, views, and templates. It's kind of annoying how tutorials talk about MVC but it doesn't seem like an MVC framework.
Also, if I want a user to input numbers to do calculations, where does the computationally heavy code go?
Banks return their bills to their regional Fed bank for counting/cleaning/exchange/destruction/etc. So if you're from Dallas and you spend a dollar in Northern Louisiana that dollar is probably going to end up back in Dallas because Northern Louisiana is in the Dallas Fed's district.
Banks take their cash and bring it to their regional Federal Reserve Bank for counting/cleaning/repair/replacement/etc. So pretty much any time a bill lands in a bank it has a good chance of getting sent back to the Fed.
Since most places you pay cash at take it straight to the bank ASAP for security reasons, most of your cash ends up at a bank. In fact, I'm having a hard time thinking of a business other than maybe a hotdog stand that doesn't take 100% of their cash revenues to the bank.
Came here to say this. It seems like a lot of the lines are due to the locations of the Federal Reserve Banks. I would also like to note that there are branches of FRBs in Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City, and Miami, as well as many others, but the ones I mentioned are ones that I find geographically separated from their main regional bank. If you look, even these larger branches of the FRB's seem to be centered in these regions as well. I don't think some of the smaller FRB branches (like El Paso, or San Antonio) have cash services departments (I could be wrong here), but the larger ones do.
To expand on julespitt's comment: Each FRB (and whichever branches of each FRB has a cash department) gets money sent in from banks to be exchanged/counted/cleaned/recirculated/stored/whatever in whichever bank is closest. This explains a majority of these lines. This probably also explains why there's some really defined lines around Seattle, Denver, and Salt Lake City. Even though they are branches of FRB's, they still have cash departments.
Boxing is extremely damaging to the brain. The gloves make it even worse because it allows a boxer to sustain more blows for a longer period of time. If there were no gloves there would be quicker knockouts and less bouncing of the brain around in a boxer's skull for extended periods of time. This is why many posit that MMA is safer than boxing. Smaller gloves mean quicker knockouts. There are also ways to win MMA fights that don't involve direct punching.
Perhaps just a star? You can call them "starred" posts. Seems somewhat more neutral.
> and biking is a misdemeanor downtown
What? I see people biking downtown all the time. Is it really?
Have you looked into CRSP (Center for Research in Security Prices)? I know they have all that data, I'm not sure how much it costs though. Probably not profitable for the average retail trader.
This is pretty old news. I remember being in high school 6 years ago and the coaches making us do dynamic stretches instead of static stretches. And high school coaches are notoriously ill-informed.
Weird. I follow my friend's high school aged little brother on twitter and it seems there are a lot of high schoolers on twitter. In fact, this guy deactivated his Facebook and only uses his twitter and Instagram now. He lives in Texas though, maybe Texans are behind the curve.
From what I've noticed it seems that Facebook is definitely far less cool than twitter these days.
>This is especially problematic in the Web 2.0 / Freemium world where too many company build their business models around trying to build massive scale of free customers and then convert a small share to low monthly payments. I guess it has worked for some companies? (Basecamp? Who else?)
Dropbox? Skype? I feel like there's a lot of freemium companies that make it.
I like this message though. Good advice for not just startups.
>Women want diamonds not because of any symbolic reasons ("Diamonds are forever!")
The funny thing is that diamonds are one of the most unstable minerals when taken out of the conditions they were formed. Although, it would still take thousands of years for them to turn into graphite.
