Interesting, I get a 500 if I try to visit coinbase.com, but my WebSocket connections to advanced-trade-ws.coinbase.com are still live with no issues.

I wish I could read the post but medium doesn’t allow that. I’m unable to log in to my account and it won’t let me create another account and the terrible parts that actively discourage a Medium from being readable. I wish we could have posts that we could easily read, regardless of what sort of tracking software it’s hosted on.

Edit: Thanks for the links! It would be great to go back to the days where a post was simple HTML document.

Denim | https://denimlabs.com/company/careers/ | Full-stack Software Engineer | Des Moines, IA | Full-time | ONSITE

Denim helps save time and money with micro-targeted mobile and social media advertising.

Our stack: Node, GraphQL, Serverless, React/Redux

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer eager to work in a growth mode startup environment that is capitalizing on disruptive changes occurring in the massive insurance and financial services industry. Work directly with stakeholders in the ideation, design, development, and delivery of new products and features

Our culture is agile, git/pull requests, continuous integration, and frequent deployments. We value curiosity, passion, and working as a team to succeed.

Benefits include: competitive salary, equity incentive plan, health, dental, vision insurance plan, unlimited PTO, company culture that encourages personal growth, being a part of a team, and being committed to redefining an entire industry.

I think we set the goals way to high. It seems like everyone expected "chatbots" to be in their final form right away. Currently, the best "chatbots" aren't really chatbots, but act of as sort of human backed, virtual assistant in a narrow but widening domain. For example, real estate. Most real estate companies have an insides sales agents that does lead qualification, sets appointments, etc. There's a company in the space doing this now and judging from their website, they are doing alright.

https://structurely.com

I don't see one mention of "chatbot" on their page, it's always virtual assistant. Even just checking out their marketing material it looks pretty compelling. https://research.structurely.com/customers

Just start doing the stuff you want to do! If you have a project or something interesting you want to pursue, dig into what you need to make it happen. You'll learn a ton along the way and get a better understand of what you like and don't like.

I’m curious if the average Model 3 buyer is the same as the average electric car buyer. The Model 3 isn’t just an electric car the same way a GM Bolt EV is, the Tesla has all the self-driving features that are still relatively unmatched by other offerings in the market. The Autonomous Bolt EV doesn’t go into production until next year.

That’s a great solution, but at what point is it easier to just store your data yourself? If someone worried about their provider knowing some user has the same file as another user, that person shouldn’t really be trusting Google or Apple with anything.

When I first started college in 2012, I probably spent the same amount, if not more, on access codes to submit homework. A lot of the justification I've heard from professors is the fact that now we get access to the terrible, terrible, so called "eBook". As a CS major, I thought this was great, because I wanted to be on the next "evolution" of books and higher ed. I was thinking how great it would be to have vocabulary words and important ideas indexed throughout the book. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case.

What you get is an expiring version of the text that forces you to deal the the absolutely horrendous UI of this "book". The menus and header take up well over 50% of the page and then the actual text is loaded into an iframe which loads up a flash player.

My last year, many of my professors have moved away from this and started doing their own thing inside of Blackboard. I never would have thought I would be happier to use Blackboard but in this case it is so much better and there is no extra cost.

I guess it comes down to the question of why educational software must be terrible to use. I'm thankful my professors eventually realized this and solved the problem in other ways. Of course towards the end, I was in higher level, smaller courses but I still think there should be a way to open source these classes and the technology required for them.
