I'm also seeing a 5xx Server error on instagram.

Edit: ~15 mins later Instagram seems to be back up.

Edit #2: Seems to be back to 5xx server error ~1hr now.

This reminds me of 37Signal's [1] & ZachHolmans [2] talk about Your Product is your Byproduct. Real eye opener on how to think about what you're building and/or identify cross promotion etc.

What happened with Etsy? Their stock price has recovered to their IPO price. It did seem bad from an internal sense with layoffs etc.

Can you expand on what you mean by that?

Can you expand on this a little bit? Billionaires wouldn't necessarily unload their properties when the market took a dump. If anyone, billionaires would be the most likely to be capable of weathering the storm (depending how leveraged they were) and hold on to the property until present day where property values are generally back to where they were circa 2008 housing bust.

I had pinged them about the SV Bank account especially with their high fees compared to my Credit Union and they mentioned that you can immediately close the SV Bank account as use your bank or credit union. [1]

Voat.com has been around for a while. They made a decent push during some reddit drama ~2 years ago. However, looking through voat 'subverses' aka subreddits they look pretty dead for the counterparts that I visit on reddit ex: www.reddit.com/r/homebrewing vs www.voat.com/v/homebrewing and www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine vs www.voat.com/v/unrealengine

Their 'HOT' ordering makes the site look dead where they should probably take into account newer stories as everything in the 'HOT' ranking is years old (except for heavier trafficked subverses)

I was seeing claims of a firm having a 'short' interest in AMD and thus they were trying to sandbag the stock[1]. Sounds like this security firm might be more of an investment firm just trying to push a stock a certain way?

I ran into the same issue and frustration you have in trying to learn UE4. I even started UECasts.com[1] to help bridge that gap for others.

I made a lot of getting started resources and cheatsheets to help newcomers such as a C++ Cheat Sheet[2] and a Blueprint Cheat Sheet[3].

Xbox one X and PS4 Pro were both recently released. What do you have in mind for next the gen console(s)?

Why $X.87 ?

I've seen $X.99 versus the $X but never $X.87

Obviously Bollywood.

I'm very grateful you took the time to respond especially in such great length. Don't apologize for the length this is the exactly what I was hoping for!

Sometimes it's good to get a completely different view on things as the rhetoric within the US has been quite negative towards Trump (potentially well deserved) without much discussion around the quantitative easing etc but rather just tax cuts for corporations etc.

I realize you aren't OP but I do understand the "making America great again" getting him votes by saying he's bringing back jobs. However, that's a political response that deflects from the real issues at hand.

What I am curious about is the quantitative easing we witnessed due to the 2008 Financial & Housing crisis and how that is being handled both in the economy and the governments around the world. The Fed interest rate is still at a historic low having just recently bumped to 1.5% [1]. For instance one of the view points I've heard is that Trump is trying to deregulate as much as possible in order to avoid the economy crashing. Maybe that a makes a correction from QE worse in the future. Maybe Trump is indeed just trying to siphon as much money/tax breaks as possible but I'm curious about the macro economics currently in play from different world viewpoints.

Could you expand on your thoughts for Trump trying to bring everything back home? Genuinely curious what your thoughts are and not from a political stand point :) Thanks.

Is it looked down upon with what Newman's Own does with the charity? They make good products and it is neat that they donate profits (after tax) to charity. Just curious how well it was utilized etc. Quick research shows that it helped some pretty good causes at least on the surface. Does anyone know any more about it?

Could you elaborate?

Yup definitely implies that the shuttle crashed. Clickbait title.

You should! You see that market cap!

Fellow Georgia Tech OMSCS student! I'm currently taking Reinforcement Learning (CS 7642). It's a pretty great program and have enjoyed balancing work with 1 class per semester.

Best of luck and power through the last 1/3 of the semester + finals!

Edit: FYI for those curious the OMSCS degree will cost most students $8,110 (10 classes * $811 semester).[1]

[1] https://www.omscs.gatech.edu/program-info/cost-payment-sched... $510 tuition + $301 (fees) = $811 semester

Not OP but I am also in OMSCS.

Yes, I am doing OMSCS while working. However, my current employer doesn't have tuition reimbursement. Though if you employer does cover tuition (like a previous employer of mine) you could absolutely get it for no cost to the student.

Also yes you are correct in many are pursuing the degree while employed. Usually taking 1 class per semester.

Could you shed some light on why google moved away from their shipping container design to a more traditional yet still custom data center approach?

Thanks!

I've been growing milkweed at my parents house and we saw a around 20 caterpillars this year! Unfortunately, ~1/2 of them didn't make it but we at least start seeing Monarchs again. Everyone should be planting better garden plants that can compared to the bland green bushes and grass that never blooms.

They are starting to. GaTech's OSMCS program cost (~$8k total) a fraction of the on campus (~$30k year in-state). With any entrenched system it takes a while to see change. Especially something like Education that is afraid of change and is very slow to change existing ways.

I even wonder if much will change with colleges and higher education by the time I have kids and they then are college age. A lot will change from now until ~20 years when my potential kids will be college bound. However, I'll definitely be looking at biggest potential on ROI for tuition costs etc.

Yup, family and I were going to go see a movie on a whim and when we looked at the showings the only interesting movie was Dunkirk which we had already seen but contemplated seeing again.

Also ticket prices being $14+ is a little absurd.

Baywatch had a ton of potential to bring back nostalgia of the 90's and yet they went with some sort of shitty terrorist/mystery/villain story plot completely shitting all over what the baywatch tv show was all about.

Hollywood just wants to be able to make something quick with low quality and a few big names and print money. They are just crying because people don't want to see their shitty movies.

Stay safe and I hope all goes well with minimal damage.

What's the reasoning for not allowing those things? Does it bring additional legal problems or something? I could see the issue with potential child porn or something like that but shouldn't a payment processor be siloed from any legal issues there?

That definitely puts some perspective on things. It's a little bit absurd it was at 0% and it stayed there for so long. Never in the previous history (at least of the graph history) did it stay at the same rate for so long.
