The number is likely larger than the article suggests, because both Visa and Mastercard will share updated payment information to merchants who had recurring charges. The paper treats this as a "possibility" (and uses a small lambda factor to adjust for it) rather than the norm that it is in 2024.
> if you’re trading hundreds or thousands of shares at a time, you’re better off elsewhere
Exactly. Any price improvement other brokerages can offer should be considered net of their fees. Because flat fees per trade are regressive, smaller investors are better off on Robinhood.
Didn't browsers take a stand a few years ago by ignoring "autocomplete=off" on password fields?
I think it’s about time browsers start ignoring any onpaste events on password fields. I’m curious what Chromium folks think - have there been tickets about this? It would be a great way to end this dumb practice.
I did my BS at CMU as well, though it's been around 3 years since I graduated. The Indian food options were not great in Pittsburgh; I remember one restaurant that got shut down by the Allegheny County Health Department. A service like this would have been perfect for me, easy to prepare in crowded shared kitchens or even in my dorm room.
The other options all have their downsides. The imported pre-packaged stuff has a lot of oil (and has an overwhelming amount of garlic) and honestly smells rancid. Frozen options like Amy's are alright, but quite bland. And restaurant delivery, even if available near you, is not very healthy.
It looks like this won't have any of those drawbacks. Excited to try it out.
This "older woman, somewhere in her 60s" probably just consumes a lot of news, as is common for people in that age group.
"DNI" isn't exactly a secret acronym for Director of National intelligence; if you enter the acronym into a news search engine you'd see it's commonly used in news articles. Also the website is literally DNI.gov.
I'd agree the North Korea thing is weird, but maybe she was just making conversation and dug herself into a hole. Plenty of Uber drivers have also told me vague stories about times they visited Country X long ago (many of which I thought didn't check out, but smiled and nodded anyway) just to keep the conversation going.
Certainly it is a possibility that the Uber gig could be some sort of cover, but I think it's unlikely.
How does working at a cafeteria provider like Bon Appetit compare to working at a restaurant? By that I mean a place where office workers are likely to get lunch daily, where the typical lunch costs <$10.
Also consider that workplace cafeteria jobs generally have fixed schedules with weekends off.
I think this tourist map[1] brilliantly depicts what parts most tourists actually stick to, by shrinking the western parts of the city on the map.
There are very few tourists in the vast majority of the Richmond and Sunset, except near the water and Golden Gate Park (around the museums). Also, there are very few tourists south of Bernal Heights Park.
> At CMU you took no courses in operating systems? Algorithms? Computer hardware or logic? Compilers? Graphics? Databases? Web programming? Distributed systems? Networks? Parallel/HPC? Language theory? Security/crypto?
The core that's required in both programs (15-122, 15-128, 15-150, 15-210, 15-213, and 15-251) is very broad and touches pretty much all of those areas. To be clear, hardware design isn't covered there, but the (x86-64) programmer's side of memory management and the CPU is covered well.
Other than algorithms, dedicated courses in all of those areas are offered as electives and you pick some of them. I recall taking OS, security, digital design / RTL (which was actually in the ECE department), web, and logic - but I could have subbed OS with Parallel/HPC, for example. The BS in CS curriculum[1] requires enough free and area electives that students gain depth in several of those areas.
> Because these students will take none of these courses, they will differ significantly from those with a BS in CS.
The BS in AI curriculum[2] only requires two CS-wide electives, so students in that program will indeed have depth in fewer of the areas. This is why these students will receive BS in AI degrees, to differentiate them from those who receive BS in CS degrees. I think you're in agreement with CMU's decision here?
That said, with the broad base of the core classes like 15-213 and the second half of 15-210, plus implementation details covered in the AI/ML courses, I'm sure no graduate of that program would struggle with HPC, networking, or DB/sysadmin in the workplace, or in a graduate program in AI.
Ultimately, there's only so much you can fit into four years, but I'd bet it would be easier for someone from this new program to deepen their skills in those areas, than it would be for most BS in CS graduates to add ML skills.
I did my undergrad in CS at CMU, and have first-hand experience of what’s covered in the core courses, which are also requirements for this new program.
Perhaps you should take a look at the curriculum again like I told you, instead of spewing out falsehoods like “churning out candidates who don’t know what tcp is”.
As an SF resident, I love these things and regularly use them instead of calling an Uber. Requiring helmets (as the draft regulation does) is a bad idea; it would drastically reduce usage and push people back into cars.
One problem that some of these scooters have is that they seem to be easy to sabotage. I’ve seen vandals pulling on the brake cables near the front wheel, which would probably weaken the brakes or make them not function.
Of all the issues to be considered, this is the easiest one to fix and so should be the least important consideration at this stage.
A fairly busy airport already exists in every case, so all they have to do is provide a revenue guarantee for one daily nonstop flight to Seattle. This is very common in the industry to entice airlines to open new routes.
This requires no new infrastructure, and would only be needed prior to HQ2 being fully operational. At that point, the airline would be selling enough tickets that the revenue guarantee wouldn't be needed anymore.
