Speaking of holes in the stripe API there’s an annoying one where you can’t easily directly look up what user redeemed a specific promo code

Hey this is cool!

I've been wondering about this specifically for QQQ vs S&P 500! Awesome, thanks.

Integru has been really great for us. Curious how you think about differentiation?

  "Tell me if you see someone waving hello while I’m out."
  "Did you see anyone new over the weekend?"

It’s made possible by the combination of cutting edge computer vision, natural language understanding, and 3D sensing like you’d find in an iPhone X or a self-driving car. Check us out at our site [0] or in the news [1].

We're hiring across the board:

Generally, I agree with your sentiment regard proper accreditation in the media, but claiming that Thrun doesn't deserve a huge chunk of credit for self-driving cars at Google is thoroughly unsupported by the evidence (check out the history of the DARPA challenges). This article seems to be grasping at a sinister story of a coverup that simply doesn't exist.

From the article: "From then on, we started doing a lot of work with Google," says Majusiak. "We did almost all of their hardware integration. They were just doing software."

Just software? Holy cow. The machine learning, control systems, mapping software, and all the other algorithms in a self-driving car are the really fundamental pieces. It's super important to get the hardware right, and 510 did a great job of that, but the software is the brain.

This newspaper article states "In 2007, a major follow-up [to the 1997 AICR report] all but reversed the findings." They don't cite the study or provide a link, but it's almost certainly the 2007 AICR report.

Fortunately you can take a look for yourself [0]. The published research findings are pretty much the opposite of the Star Tribune's claims that eating healthy has no effect on cancer.

These are the AICR recommendations:

    Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
    Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
    Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods.
    Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans.
    Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats.
    If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day.
    Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium).
    Don't use supplements to protect against cancer.

Edit: formatting.

Could you share with us what you use? I often feel the same way. Thanks.

You could also use the Asus Xtion Pro Live. Like the Kinect, it's derived from the original PrimeSense device. As an added bonus, there is no annoying extra power cord and the RGB and depth frames are actually synchronized.

For synchronization of your personal files, check out Unison.

Can you elaborate on this?

So for those of use who know nothing about websites: what is the correct way to protect against SQL injection?

For remembering things: check out Anki, or any other spaced repetition system. Rote memorization isn't the complete solution, of course, but problem solving becomes vastly easier when the components of the solution are readily available in your mind.

For some reason our schooling systems haven't picked up on how incredibly useful the spacing effect is. Use it to your advantage! It has made a real difference for me.
