> Anyone with a retirement account that holds passive etfs

This is incorrect. Not all ETFs. These funds are sector focused (vehicles). A regular S&P500 ETF will not hold NKLA.

WSJ.com is now reporting that a top secret US navy system did detect the implosion - on site commander was informed.

How cool! Free of jargon and loads of intuition

"Manufacturers may intentionally damage a portion of their goods ... "[0]

The intel chip example has already been mentioned in comments. The general idea of "Damaged Goods" (and how this can benefit consumers) appears here (at Preston McAfee's site).

Oops. You're right.

Not quite. IBM has (had?) a research program on "cancelable" biometrics. I do not recall perfectly, but I think they were tweaking the encoded biometric sensor data before committing it to DBs. If there is a leak, one can redo it with a new tweak (like a new salt or nonce).

I despise how they operated from start through 2017. But do I wish Uber had never happened? Nope. Also, when you say "letting them get away with .." are you including Macron, Biden etc in "them'?

Haha... pegged to 1 + e^(ipi) i.e. 1 + cos(pi) + isin(pi) i.e. 0. Nice of them to make the satire obvious in the twitter post image itself.

Thank you @iamaaditya and @eklitzke . Very informative

Question about terminology (no background in AI). In econometrics, estimation is model fitting (training, I guess), and inference refers to hypothesis testing (e.g. t or F tests). What does inference mean here?

Commenters are clearly trying to help. They can do better if you provide more context. What kind of math do you want to do? This does not have to be related to your dissertation area. And since you are asking on HN .. what kind of hacking/ development do you want to do? Coming from academia (I have a phd in game theory -- kind of useless in real world, other than ad auctions), it gets easier to find an industry job and develop idea of a good fit once you already have one! Don't be too picky to start with. Good luck!

Quite unusual. It's also harder to purchase devices with 2 (physical) SIM slots (a popular feature in Asia)

> they've cut off security upgrades

Same reason I switched to Apple last year -- after being android only since original Motorola Droid (2009).

How thoughtful of Tesla ;-) One nearly backed into me a few months back. I banged on the car to alert the driver. It stopped. There was no one in it. Owner was summoning her car in a grocery store parking lot. People.

Very wide range. On the cryptography side: new signature schemes, cryptographic proof systems. Research on voting systems, economic incentive design, coordination and trust problems with value transfers (bridges) across different chains, VM + compiler design for smart contract execution

Outstanding researchers and educators! But a "founding research team"? Are they leaving their day jobs for this? Don't think so.

A bit OT: Simple frequency counts (this page, @ 104 comments).

Netflix -> 103 Apple -> 39 HBO -> 24 Disney -> 19 Amazon -> 14 Hulu -> 5

Zed Shaw's "Learn C the hard way". Had years of scientific programming before that (R, Matlab). But I used to be afraid of working with "real" code bases. This book (which still has an unfinished feel to it) helped me understand how computers work and how to write programs with that understanding - at a high level. Learning about "Object-oriented programming" with plain C was super fun. Not the most illuminating book I've read (e.g. The Gene by Siddhartha Mukherjee), but the others did not change my life.

Aha.. I'm an idiot. Took a minute to figure out nothing needs to be changed for remotes starting with git@github.com .. this is about remotes starting with git://

Thankfully, things are not too crazy at the children's hospital at present. Of course, the kids still there are the ones too sick to be sent home :( . But the staff bring them gifts and there's a holiday meal for everyone: patients, their families and staff :)

Dropped off my wife at work around 7. She's on call at the hospital. Fortunately, it is not -40 here ;-) Happy holidays all!
