Of the bootcamp people, everyone has had at least a bachelors, maybe weighted towards less stem but that's certainly not the rule. I don't think I have a good numbers backed answer for you, but I also don't think prior academics is the issue. It's mostly peoples ability to problem solve. We have no shortage of applicants but it still takes us forever to find people that can do the job.
Definitely. I have a high-paying data science job at a major corporation with only a 4 year degree in economics and got it after 2 years in the field working analyst jobs. I took stats classes with my free electives, got database skills from my first job and taught myself how to code along the way. Many of my peers have advanced degrees and I can hang no problem. I will say though, that the data science boot camps are not the answer. The applicants we receive from them are generally weak and we have never hired any of them.
How do you guys feel about paypal checkout, would it keep you safe in a breach like this? My thinking is it should presumably, since they are not storing any CC information.
I would be curious to hear his experience in other cities. It would be a great way to figure if this is a cultural issue specific to a region or if people really are generally terrible.
All technical reasons aside, it has got to be mostly demand. I can't see computers coming pre-configured with more than 64gb, but for storage there is increasingly more demand as the price reaches parity with spinning disks. One thing that is true is we are as storage-hungry as ever. High res photos created by every phone, companies logging every minute process in hopes of using it for analysis later... Our need for storage vastly outstrips our need for RAM.
I think its more like 30; look at the picture with the full stuff sacks. those are at least 7L stuff sacks, there are two of them, and theres room for 2 more of the same size. I backpack with a 32 liter and the interior volume looks comparable.
Nope, nothing non-arbitrary. By my standards, you know something is ultralight if you had to specifically seek it out. Usually the big brands that appear in outdoor stores don't make UL gear because the materials being used are too fragile and it would cause a warranty nightmare scenario. A real ultralight pack requires care, taking note of the roughness of the surface you set it down on, etc.
when places like REI use the term ultralight, it means an entirely different thing than how an experienced backpacker thinks of the word. To an experienced backpacker, rei (or any chain) does not carry ultralight gear. There is an entire market of specialty gear makers making true ultralight gear and none of it is in retail brick and mortar.
This is really awesome, I'm going to give it a try in my latest project. Has there been any apps/sites with large amounts of i/o running this yet? Curious how reliable it is at this stage.
I think the author is touching on the fact that there is so much uncertainty around this due to children being so long term that putting off making your family for short-term financial reasons doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The short-term gain from putting off kids is small.
These types of articles are silly in that they leave out the context that nearly every variable that is pseudo-unique to you is already being used and that this is a common practice known as fingerprinting that has been done since forever. Headline: "New variable x can be used to track you". Well, yea. Add that to the size your browser window is, what plugins you have installed, your IP address, and many more ways a website can use to surmise a relationship between two disjoint events.
