You'd have to move outside of the US to play online. Playing in person is very slow and a terrible lifestyle doing it professionally.

It's briefly mentioned in the article but I don't think ya'll realize Haseeb is a (in)famous ex-poker player. He made high quality training videos, and did very, very well in poker. He was also at one time Daniel Cates's (junglemans) roommate (and life coach? lol) who is probably one of the strongest poker players in the world.

All these other things were for sure the real factors into the negotiation/hiring. The bootcamp meant almost nothing (besides the 6m+ experience showing he could train people to code like he's proven he could train people in poker).

No.. From their documentation it says they use "Industry Standard Logistic Regression", which just means logistic regression. Which can be very useful, but is also the most basic model you could use.

If the entire point is to watch someone code something from scratch, why is there no dates on the videos? How can you follow a series from beginning to end if you have to randomly guess which order a series is in?

A common use case (and I'd imagine most common use case) is someone building an app from scratch. Usually this takes more than one video. The videos on the user page, and on the main video viewing page do not have a date.

So now it's almost impossible to watch old videos in order. I saw some interesting series I wanted to check out, but clicked around trying to find the beginning and could not find out which one it was and then gave up.

I hate Harrahs/Caeser's Entertainment. Where do I even begin.

Some interesting anecdotes:

The CEO Gary Loveman bought ~2.4% stake of NBA basketball team Boston Celtics in 2008. No Harrahs properties can take NBA bets on games involving Celtics or futures bets on who will win championship (Celtics could win) because CEO wants an inconsequential stake in an NBA team. How vain can you be?

Past couple months CEO and friends have been trying to split CET into two separate companies. One with all the valuable properties (Caesar's Vegas, etc.) the other with the stinkers (Atlantic City, etc.) bundled with debt and pension obligations. Trying to screw over all the workers. Judge recently ruled they couldn't do this, but they're still trying.

CET had option to build property on Kotai strip in Macau. CEO said it was too risky, so let it expire. The majority of profits of Las Vegas Sands (Sheldon Adelson) and Wynn Resorts Limited (Steve Wynn) comes from properties they built in Macau.

Wow, super cool. My first thought went to back in the day there were all those addons for SimCity like SimCar or SimHelicopter. Where you got to drive/fly around, respectively in your actual SimCity loaded in from a save file.

The article is just a review for a book.

I've never read the book mentioned but if this is a topic you're interested in I'd highly recommend, 'The Shallows' by Nicholas Carr.

This article is trash. First he makes a dumb argument that comes down to, what's $2 in exchange for the warm fuzzies of imagining where you'll move with that money.

And then goes on to explain why now's the best time to waste your money if you like wasting your money because of the ridiculously obvious point that the jackpot is larger now.

This is abysmal garbage and the author should feel bad and so should everyone who upvoted this. I rarely ever get mad but the lottery is one of my biggest pet peeves, and this brings no insight or elaboration on the issue besides, "gee wouldn't it be great to instantly have millions of dollars."

Was pretty sure when I saw this headline on my feed it was an Onion article... nope.

This is one of those things the people don't really think about, and I know I didn't, but it really seems that a lot of the power resides in getting appointed to these committees. And it's something that people don't get to vote on.

To be fair, I thought the point of an editorial was for the author to express their opinion. [1]
