Perhaps another way of thinking about it is in terms of being a market maker versus a speculator. I think of Opendoor as more like the former, where traditionally a flipper refers to the latter.
The cost structure service is actually what I've been working on recently. We spun up a fairly lightweight flask service (on our kubernetes cluster) that is capable of serving the cost structure to the rails app and for analysis. At its core, it uses a small DAG library we wrote, and on top of that has a migration framework that can represent cost structure changes over time as distinct versions that can be served simultaneously.
I think everyone on the team understands that helping unblock other engineers is as valuable as writing some code yourself. It generally hasn't been an issue getting timely review, though we have discussed tracking the average size of the PR queue as a metric if review times did worsen.
Most of the time other engineers on your team will review your code, but often engineers will pop across teams and doing code reviews if they have the time and the context. One change we've made is moving towards tagging a few engineers who might have the right context when you submit the PR.
Thanks for the tip about the title; will take a look!
To me this seems like the right approach - either you start with some massive amount of data that's not quite adapted to the problem (think Google), you start with full automation and have to basically write the decision tree yourself, or you generate the appropriate labeled training data like this.
However, it seems like there are some scale issues if you start upmarket like Clara Labs has been. I wonder if there's benefit in having a cheaper more mass-market version as well that can be used to generate larger amounts of data and test algorithms better?

The student hackathon movement has definitely evolved super quickly in the last five years (as Swift says, 5 -> 150, or more than 100% growth year over year). I'd be curious to hear more stats about how hackathons in general have grown in the same time period.
Given that as far as I know, roads must be extensively mapped in advance of a self-driving car going on them, there is a nice bonus of doing self-driving cars exclusively through Uber at first. Uber can know the exact route the passenger wants to take in advance, and only send cars to passengers whose routes are already mapped. Furthermore, they can choose to only send them out when the conditions are good (no snow, etc. assuming conditions are still a problem when these go into fuller production). A nice way to roll the cars out incrementally without some of the problems they might otherwise have...
That makes sense - to get any stellars from the giveaway (either from the initial sign up or from setting up password recovery), you need to confirm your identity. Otherwise, you'd be able to create a bunch of accounts and just get the 1k from password recovery on each.
I saw this paper as well. But I suspect for some people the effects of telling others will be net positive, even if that's not the average. Anecdotally, I believe that to be true for myself.

A good question to ponder. But I think a very strong answer is that as a company producing bitcoin hardware you want to reduce exposure to bitcoin. Selling the machines (monetizing their future use value) instead of using them yourself does that to some extent.
