@Jason_Tran_NC @Betterment There are plenty of SaaS solutions out there which handle email and push notifications. It's credible it was just one third party.

@Betterment This same third-party system was able to send a push notification from the app too?

Important update regarding unauthorized message Earlier this evening you may have received a message referencing a crypto-related Betterment promotion. This was an unauthorized message sent via a third-party system we use for marketing and other customer communications.

@Betterment "third party system" that had enough access to push notifications through your own app? Sounds like straight bullshit y'all got social engineered through support lmfao

@CocoSkettiTaco @Betterment Holy heck that's bad. Anybody hooked into crypto tools able to see how much the criminals managed to get? Hopefully most people who know how to send to a raw address are smart enough not to get fooled.

@Betterment No you were hacked. You’re responsible for your third party marketing companies. Making this admission that they were your marketing company means your system is compromised. I don’t appreciate lies.

@kerfaffle @Betterment It sounds more like a third party system they use for messaging got hacked. Which, by itself, is alarming as heck. I expect a transparent postmortem on this @Betterment

In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words. Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. This must be simplified.

@DOGE Do what Amazon just did Shed 75 % of emps that don’t want to come back into office . Also GTFO of the landlord biz. Sell buildings to yield starved institutional investors as triple net leases yielding 6 % backed by full faith of US govt. Use proceeds towards deficit redux.

Federal government agencies are using, on average, just 12% of the space in their DC headquarters. The Department of Agriculture, with space for more than 7,400 people, averaged 456 workers each day (6% occupancy). Why are American taxpayer dollars being spent to maintain empty buildings?

@mipsytipsy What can be interesting is a list of what not to do during a skip level. Some quick examples: - Changing priorities or assignments - Making decisions without validation with their managers - Blaming their managers or showing a lack of support - Not informing their managers

@brodriguesco Notebooks I get (with some sorrow due to how they get abused - cell by cell execution is evil). Python is the slight head scratcher. Less so these days.

@MarvinTBaumann @mikeknoop Agree. Moreover, we can point to physical differences in neocortex. We see differences in glia. Intelligence emerged under evolutionary selection pressures. That's a feedback mechanism and 'selection'.

@mikeknoop How does this support scaling? Sure the human brain is scaled up from mice brain, but it's unclear whether the sheer size help us, or whether architectural improvements helped us. Or whether we have an architecture that does bring consciousness with scaling, while others don't.

The strongest argument in favor of the scaling hypothesis is that intelligence emerged from an unsupervised search process and was not designed. This existence proof is powerful.

@jonschxyz @davidfowl There are some practical details about the relationship between the development and execution environment. If you've got that abstracted away enough or development/testing is happening remotely... then it all falls away.

@davidfowl it’s about the code, period. OS shouldn’t even be a discussion outside of shell scripts and even then…making something out of nothing.

@alexkyllo Methodological error - bias and variance overrides most. Always more confident in relative metrics in historical context than an absolute point in time measurement.

It never ceases to amaze me how much variance there is in typical business/product metrics. Most important skill in metrics work is knowing how to avoid chasing noise.

Bridgewater (4% returns) vs index funds (18%). I'm not saying you can't beat the market. But Bridgewater is a hedge fund with 2,000 employees. Some of the smartest, highest paid people on earth who spend 20 hours a day + billions on tools/research. And they, and many just like them, struggle to beat it.

@0xTib3rius @Ze4fer What are numbers in that programming language usually for? It's pathological for certain use cases to always round up. When is it desirable? It that common enough? IEEE 754 suggests "Round to nearest, ties to even" as the default for binary floating point. So, prob reasonable?

@RussellSPierce @Ze4fer Should it really be the default behavior for a round() function in a programming language though?
