CoCalc isn't so famous for latex editing, but it has a proper Linux terminal with pandoc. That allows you to automate some tasks, etc.

the issue could be that they signal bip91, it's going to be activated, but they aren't running the actual code for rejecting the non segwit blocks

this is all an estimate. it's comprised of trading (to and from exchanges), sure, but also mining rewards, etc. there are some orgs analyzing the data, e.g. www.chainalysis.com

no, this ML level still statistical inference. next step is about structure and generalization.

with ETH you have to understand, that a lot of capital influx goes into ICOs. They need ETH as a token. It will take months or even a year to play out these ICOs and not all of them will be profitable. That's when the ICO bubble deflates.

Yes, that jupyter+react implementation will be open source. It's not clear though how the feature parity will be. At least the document is exactly the same.

here is sagemath

    m = matrix([[0, 1, 0],
                [0, 0, 1],
                [1, 0, 0]])
    v = vector([2, 3, 1])
    m \ v
(1, 2, 3)

and then

    sol = m \ v
    m * sol
(2, 3, 1)

Just FWIW, about 5 years ago someone also contacted me for a google interview. The questions were very similar, so I'm not surprised. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but after a few mins I didn't took the call serious any more and in the end after 30 min it felt more like a way too long prank call.

can you give me an example? I did all sorts of numerical indexing programming, from fortran, matlab, python/numpy and R, and I am definitely more comfortable with 0 based indexing.

In general, I don't like those X-to-Y translation pages, when the underlying concepts fundamentally change. You can't use your existing sql mindset to translate to their query language, but instead try to learn from scratch.

The simple reason for mathjax is,that it is the only one that has many of the required features and it works across browsers. MathML can't deliver any of that...

miners do more than just burning energy, and without this mechanism, the price can't be justified. a really forward looking perspective is, how a structure on top could be created to leverage bitcoin without mining. if you figure out something clever, you can call yourself the saviour of the planet :-)
