I have been suffering with AMP. try to share a link to an article and you current url is an AMP url. if the site didn't make a hard link in the post title, you are gonna have a bad time.
your presencial influence as leader matters.
I can't imagine facebook or amazon being built using remote workers. grinding is hard, painful and demoralizing. but a close team of uber-focused engineers led by example, frequently beat the asses of the 'work-from-home-is-so-comfy' guys.
about why I hire these people: they are gems, who need a coach to make them achieve greatness as a team. this is moneyball.

what about a gigolo's funded winery? think about the possibilities

When the tech world moved away from me (doing mainly embedded C for the last thirty years might not have been the best idea for my career), I became an aged carer for my disabled mum. I learned a lot about cleaning, gardening and adding subtitles to films as she is going deaf. I also learned a lot about editing spoken word audio files for pacing, volume and noise reduction as she wrote a memoir then recorded an audio version.
In the future, I could be an aged carer as I really like looking after people, although it doesn't pay well and there can be a lot of poo to deal with. On the other hand, one of my former managers has been working at Google for about ten years and is quite enthusiastic about my working with him there. Unfortunately, they are in California and I am in Melbourne so I'd have to move.
ETFPOS programmer here. yeah, it's easy to become obsolete in this area, considering most of the time we work with legacy code

One of my coworkers used basic reinforcement learning to automate a task someone used to have to do manually. We have two data ingestion pipelines. One that we ingest immediately, and a second for our larger customers which is throttled during the day and ingested at night. For the throttled pipeline, we initially had hard coded rate limits, but as we made changes to our infrastructure, the throttle was processing a different amount than it should have been. Sometimes it would process too much, and we would start to see latency build up in our normal pipeline, and other times it processed too little. For a short period of time, we had the hard coded throttle with a Slack command to override the default. This allowed an enginneer to change the rate limit if they saw we were ingesting to little or too much. While this worked, it was common that an engineer wasn't paying attention, and we would process the wrong amount for a period of time. One of my coworkers used extremely basic reinforcement learning to make the throttle dynamic. It looks at the latency of the normal ingestion pipeline, and based on that, decides how high to set the rate limit on the throttled pipeline. Thanks to him, the throttle will automatically process as much as it can, and no one needs to watch it.
The same coworker also used decision trees to analyze query performance. He trained a decision tree on the words contained in the raw SQL query and the query plan. Anyone could then read the decision tree to understand what properties of a query made that query slow. There's been times we're we've noticed some queries having odd behavior going on, such as some queries having unusually high planning time. When something like this happens, we are able to train a decision tree based on the odd behavior we've noticed. We can then read the decision tree to see what queries have the weird behavior.
the decision tree for sql analysis sounds great

I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered.
The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases.
I can also throw in the domain BabyNameCheck.com. There's no site there currently, but you could easily reuse the word check back-end from WordSafety... Just make a new baby-themed design and it could be a site that any parent would want to check out when trying to decide a name.
(Edit: Please don't post word suggestions in comments - there's a form for that on the site :))
just looked: toto. nice two bad meanings, still it means vagina in Dominican Republic.
totto is different in written form, but phonetically it's the same

There is a point in life when like it or not, switching roles with our parents is the right thing to do. The hardest part is accepting that this is necessary.
this sounds about right. I advice to open a trust fund so changing hands is just question of setting up a new president
