To understand the code they are shipping requires some level of proficiency. Their inability to do fizzbuzz without AI calls that into question.

Fuck it, I am buying a Max Pro subscription just because of this.

What argument? Your unsubstantiated opinion?

That, perhaps, is the end goal.

My understanding is that every major attempt at getting to a two-state solution has been encumbered by pre-conditions set by Israel that have made the negotiations a non-starter.

For example, any deal that would have Israel give back territories it has been occupying since 1967 has never even been on the table.

The Oslo accords, perhaps the most serious of these, were deeply unpopular on both sides.

Also, any and all attempts by Palestinians to get formal recognition in the UN have been repeatedly vetoed by the United States.

You’re right. I was referring to the Palestinian Territories in the context of annexation.

Hamas is a symptom of desperation. It certainly is not acting in the best interest of Gazans and they are suffering due to that.

But on the other hand, diplomacy has not been an effective tool for Gazans and, as all signs indicate, it never will. Not at least until US withdraws its unconditional support for Israel.

With status quo, Gazans have the choice to lie down and die or continue living under deplorable conditions under a military occupation, as Israel slowly annexes the land that, under international law, doesn’t belong to them.

A two-state solution is a fever dream if the occupier is uninterested in it. We’ve seen that repeatedly for the past 75+ years in actions and literal words.

So the question is, if you were the subjugated population, what would you do?

It’s refreshing to hear from someone else what I’ve been thinking and saying for a while now.

This perspective is conspicuously missing from all narrative you hear and read in the media, as well as the administration. The gaslighting is hard to ignore.

Look into Technical Program Management as a career track. The right blend of technical, management and leadership IMO.

Yup, it looks that way. Getting this error when using the CLI:

An error occurred (SlowDown) when calling the ListObjects operation (reached max retries: 4): Please reduce your request rate.

Probably a combination of bot behavior, lag ("eventual consistency") and deliberate probabilistic approach to user-facing analytics.

Thanks for the advice; added a paragraph to the README. I am not very familiar with the industry terminology for traditional BI, so missed that.

good call.

Axial | New York City | Full-time | Onsite | Head of Data | http://www.axial.net

Axial is building the online capital market for private companies. In other words, we help mid-sized companies raise equity and debt to grow their businesses, and we make it easier for entrepreneurs to sell their businesses, earning rewards for years of hard work. Every week, over 200 private companies use Axial to passively explore or actively pursue a financial transaction for the next stage of their business.

The Role

Your mission will be to shape and lead a world-class data organization at Axial that helps the entire company make smarter decisions and which innovates new data products for the users of Axial’s online marketplace.

You will be managing a team currently consisting of a data scientist, data engineer and data analyst. You will manage the quality, integrity and stability of Axial’s data and data infrastructure. While Axial’s data volume is smaller than a mass-market consumer product, it is mission-critical to our success and comes with fascinating challenges. Axial is still a startup, and with that in mind, this role will be a mix of execution and management (in other words, you have to like getting your hands dirty, while designing scalable approaches).

Currently, Axial uses data to understand the health of our online network, run predictive analytics, track key goals and benchmarks, and optimize our sales and marketing tactics. The data team builds and tests internal data tools to help Axial’s business units make informed decisions, operate more efficiently and become more self-sufficient around data. The team also helps the CEO and executives with strategic projects.

See job posting for more details: http://www.axial.net/about/current-openings/?gh_jid=515290

Interview process consists of a phone screen and two on-site interview rounds.

Wait, what? Are you sure you typed the right title?

Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy Taleb's writing style? I find that he tends to use overly complex vocabulary to explain very simple ideas.

In my experience, there is no better way than to build it. You learn quickly from your failures and become aware of subtle issues that no text-book or article will ever touch since they are so domain specific.

The best way to learn by doing, IMO, is by joining an organization that works on a large and complex code base. It won't be as exciting as writing new code, but adding to an existing complex system will force you to take into consideration things that you otherwise would not.
