What are some other good games with open trading?

As far as my experience, there's little code in Python that I would like to replace with OCaml. Python stuff is research code and small services that were written hastily.

I would love to replace my Go code with OCaml. It was always kind of on the verge though. On one hand, once you use a proper type system, you cannot look at Go. On the other, Go's multicore is just so much better than Async/Lwt. In terms of programming, in terms of debuggability, surely in terms of performance too. Having proper multithreading in 5.0 suddenly makes OCaml strictly superior in my (rather biased) opinion.

Uncertainty costs money. It's normal to require extra pay for extra risk.

It's quite simple: there's world beyond shipping ML products at scale. Some of it far less and some far more lucrative.

It's a different ball game. The resources that went into executing this kind of hack were probably far higher than most wallets are worth anyway.

> Can the EU for some reason not enforce its privacy laws on Uber if Uber keeps its data somewhere else?

Yes. Even assuming these laws still work if data is in another jurisdiction (prob. not), they become unenforceable. If someone sells your data in, say, Somalia, how could EU gather evidence and start a legal process?

Not OP but it varies wildly between companies. JS and Citadel are both top tier trading shops and they could not be more different when it come to wlb.

It's not hard to sniff out during the process though.

There was an even crazier detail to this story. While he thought he's fleecing tfl, he ended up paying more than he would have if tapping out properly.

I wonder if there's knobs to fix that. One of the organizations I worked at had a very aggressive OOM killer.

"That is, in any given recent year, if you take a sample of 1000 random males, within a year, almost 16% of them will have died."

Surely this can't be true.

I used to think the same but I'm not convinced anymore.

The issue is, it's really hard to come up with leakproof regulation. Companies have far more resources to look for loopholes than governmental agencies to design the law. An extreme example of this is the financial sector, where regulators have pretty much thrown in the towel. They just write vague law to be able to prosecute whatever after the fact.

BUT if we expect companies to behave ethically and act on that, then the incentives for businesses are effectively altered, and it's much harder to find loopholes in that.

From for a friend, 80-100 mcg is pure bliss without the psychedelic effects kicking in too much.

Do read more on how to do it properly though. Many factors can have greater impact on the experience than the actual dose.
