However, their little snafu with SureScripts and Remy Health just got them banned from accessing healthcare history - however there are pending FBI and FTC investigations regarding their mis-management of healthcare data. Worst case, the digital pharmacy Amazon just bought will be barred from sending or receiving digital prescriptions and their HIPAA accreditation will be voided for three years (with a fine).
Seems like a great way to waste a couple hundred million dollars.
Tech Leads course is low quality and basically a cash grab. Very similar to DailyCodingChallenge (see the 26% one star rating of their book on Amazon), who also cashed out and actually advertise through Tech Lead.
After realizing that even as a moderately competent junior-mid-level developer my fitness for interview problems drops drastically as soon as I'm employed.
Studying algorithms reminds me of my most hated classes in college, mostly because my professor had no interest in teaching and was really only there for his research...
However, I still have no clue how to keep my interview-foo top notch while not freaking out about trying to get a job as well. I still can't believe friends of mine can line up 5-7 interviews in the course of a week and then get offers from 60% of them on their first try.
Blockchain tech and ethereum is a failed project, IPFS is an unfortunate casualty of collateral damage.
Juan Benet and the team at Protocol labs is the definition of top talent, it's too bad their work had to be stymied by an industry that basically cannibalized itself at the hands of idiot entrepreneurs (I'm looking at YOU Jeremy Gardner of Augur...)
This. I never understood why people at a startup I worked at (even after it was acquired by a FAANG) gave a shit what happened after hours. There was an ops guy actually trying to slack people at 3am. At one point they tried to contact me again on the weekend, my boss decided she'd ask why I didn't seek "ownership of the problem" (one of the god awful basically fascist "workplace principles" of said FAANG). My response was basically, I don't work for a startup, it was the weekend, I don't work on weekends. I left about three weeks later, my boss also accidentally sent me a PIP offer minutes before I was going to send in my 2 weeks notice. Got a bonus $20k for leaving a shit company ;)
Even at 25, I'm starting to find a lot of "adult" social "events" incredibly contrived and stuffy. Relationships after college and in business are different and I'm immensely okay with that. I still have great friends that I've met through common activities but we're usually incredibly focused on said activity and that's why we get together, not just gathering for the sake of gathering.
Living in a big city quickly became something I didn't see value in after my social life made this kind of shift. I also stopped drinking and stopping seeing much value in "signaling" wealth / success to others. "going out" with people I work with is simply unprofessional and weird (not because I don't drink) and frankly I'm confused why my generation actively tries to facilitate these kinds of overlapping "friendships".
I completely understand when friends of mine tell me they're just too tired or don't have the energy to hang out. I do find it offensive when their reason is "my girlfriend / wife said I have to do this" etc.
It still boils my blood that there are wealthy families in New York (politics and religion aside) who actively fund anti-vaccination rhetoric and associations who make issues of vaccination religious...
Yeah - I think this potential next step for nVidia has both good and bad intentions for the world of HPC. However, it'll be interesting to see how they compete with the existing "NetFPGA" open source project. They've essentially been building purpose-built offerings analogous to Intel's recently announced "Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000".
IMO, more of the issues with these advanced networking protocols is latency - something that is usually more addressable via protocol dev than just hardware. Would be very interesting to see nVidia try to acquire Xilinx and supercharge their "Aurora" low overhead transfer protocol...
