Important update regarding unauthorized message
Earlier this evening you may have received a message referencing a crypto-related Betterment promotion. This was an unauthorized message sent via a third-party system we use for marketing and other customer communications.
@Jason_Tran_NC@Betterment There are plenty of SaaS solutions out there which handle email and push notifications. It's credible it was just one third party.
@CocoSkettiTaco@Betterment Holy heck that's bad. Anybody hooked into crypto tools able to see how much the criminals managed to get? Hopefully most people who know how to send to a raw address are smart enough not to get fooled.
@kerfaffle@Betterment It sounds more like a third party system they use for messaging got hacked. Which, by itself, is alarming as heck. I expect a transparent postmortem on this @Betterment
@mipsytipsy What can be interesting is a list of what not to do during a skip level. Some quick examples:
- Changing priorities or assignments
- Making decisions without validation with their managers
- Blaming their managers or showing a lack of support
- Not informing their managers
@brodriguesco Notebooks I get (with some sorrow due to how they get abused - cell by cell execution is evil). Python is the slight head scratcher. Less so these days.
@MarvinTBaumann@mikeknoop Agree. Moreover, we can point to physical differences in neocortex. We see differences in glia. Intelligence emerged under evolutionary selection pressures. That's a feedback mechanism and 'selection'.
@jonschxyz@davidfowl There are some practical details about the relationship between the development and execution environment. If you've got that abstracted away enough or development/testing is happening remotely... then it all falls away.
@alexkyllo Methodological error - bias and variance overrides most. Always more confident in relative metrics in historical context than an absolute point in time measurement.
@0xTib3rius@Ze4fer What are numbers in that programming language usually for? It's pathological for certain use cases to always round up. When is it desirable? It that common enough? IEEE 754 suggests "Round to nearest, ties to even" as the default for binary floating point. So, prob reasonable?
@0xTib3rius@Ze4fer It makes the statisticians and other number aggregators sad by providing a consistent upwards bias in the aggregate. https://t.co/e2TAJLXsXQ…
@khoomeik in the haystack, there are always the ex-cypherpunks still-a-kid-at-heart types who just want to build something awesome with good people. Find them!
