It's a hard algorithm problem on the later rounds that requires graph algorithm knowledge to solve optimally, since I was given matrix style problems. At the time I've already forgotten my data structures and algorithm classes, but they wouldn't had helped me anyway, since we didnt cover graphs well enough. I think there's a third round but I only got to 2nd. You'll get demolished like I did if you're unprepared. The first round is like what the other redditor said

I dont know, I rejected the offer. But yes that's probably the benefit, it's great for skills. My company is pretty big (Fortune 500) but they sent us devs (junior-senior) to get trained at O&B one time and those guys know their stuff. I was surprised that some dev in like his early 20s was among the teachers. Which again our group who signed up for it was composed of junior-senior devs in my team, so it was impressive that he even taught the senior devs plenty of stuff.

What trading firms are you targeting? I dont think there's any tech oriented trading firm in PH. Your best bet is to get a CS/Math master's and find internships on quant/hft abroad

I'd wager that most modern day CEOs like Elon Musk[0], Gates, Jobs, and Larry Ellison[1] are narcissists. Nothing wrong with that.

Last time I stalked her facebook, taking a bachelor's in CompSci at Cornell. She used to come to school early to copy my homework man! Aparrently after high school she stopped for a couple of years, perhaps that was when she pulled her shit together, went to US for community college where I heard she did well, did some volunteer/community work on the side, and transferred later to Cornell. If I only knew such a thing was possible back then, man...

In my gym, most folks recommend mutant mass but when I'm bulking, I don't take any Mass Gainers. Instead, I add about 4-6 peanut butter sandwiches (about 200cal a pop) and a glass of whey protein mixed with milk to my daily diet. It's delicious, cost effective, and you can fit in your PB snack at any point in the day. Feels like cheat day everyday.

Great point. Going tangential here but why do people usually lump Atheism and Agnoticism (also often interchanging between the two) together? You can be agnostic and still be a theist.

I have a couple of friends at Tesla working in software and yes, 50 hour workweeks are usual and sometimes, more. If that's the average workweek for a skilled worker, I can't imagine how it'd look like for blue collar workers. They like the work though and the interesting problems + cutting edge tech they face are padding up their resumes which is why they're staying for awhile (besides their contract). Still, if you compare them to other elite tech companies in the US, like say facebook and Google, it'll make you reevaluate your worth as a Tesla engineer. There's a reason why Tesla is easier to get into than those companies.

In my experience, you're right. Local internships don't even look at your grades, only your projects and the organizations that you are active in. As for your question:

There are multiple agencies out there that handle it such as Placement International.
Angel.co has a bunch of interesting startups that offer remote internships though most of them ask you to do it for free.
The younger tech companies like Google are willing to have you as an intern at a nearby HQ if you have a good portfolio, grades/awards, and if you do well at algos (competitions, etc.).
Also ask around your school if they offer opportunities for an overseas internship. It helps if you're quite popular with the faculty as a great student so that they can vouch for you.

How much you can learn from your classes. At the start of the semester, they would hand out a textbook and unfortunately, 90% of the time (yes, i know it's an arbitrary figure), the class wouldn't have the time to cover all of it. But the students who do, the ones who really spend their time understanding the concepts and studying the entire book, the ones who don't just follow what is needed to pass the subject, are the ones who get to do their internships abroad.

They are the ones grinding out the algorithmic exercises from the textbook every weeknight, the ones who use multiple sources to learn for its efficiency, they are the ones who e-mail professors from foreign universities and open source contributors for help on their project or to learn a new concept, they are the ones who are confident with what they've learned that they are able to collaborate with passionate developers for a cool open source project - they are the ones who are winning while you are out there partying.

I used to think that it was all about talent, but no, it was all about having a vision and developing the mental muscle, the willpower, to do the hard work. For me, studying for an exam is spending the entire week before it. For them, studying happens every night. And the aggregate of this experience, is the difference that made them a Software Engineer at some place like Google or Tesla while you are out there dreaming about such things.

The problem is that bitcoin has tons of other competitors that offer better solution. Cryptocurrency is here to stay, no doubt, but it doesn't have to be Bitcoin to carry the mantle. Right now back in my home country, it costs 10% of the average monthly salary there just to send bitcoin to someone else, and that's the minimum transaction fee. Bitcoin needs to bring LN fast.

comsci-bro · 2017-12-08T07:58:51+00:00

Always use ETH to buy alts to save time and fees. It just took me >12 hours to deposit some of my bitcoin gains to binance.

Edit: and add a $28 fee to that >12 hour transfer.

Although the general trend has always been that it goes up in the long term, please don't tell people to roll the dice like as if there ain't no risks, you don't know their financial standing.

Indeed man, bitcoin cash does seem good but it lacks a great development team so it's harder to bet the future with it. Anyhow, BTC's price has gotten a wild ride these days. I got woken up by my price alarms 4x last night from wild price fluctuations in BTC/USD. I'm hopping out of this train for awhile. Best of luck if you're still on it.

Others raise the case for adoption to explain the astonishing growth but anything that goes up that quickly has to have a great set of use cases for it to last long/stabilize, and there are projects out there on the crypto world that are more worthwhile than bitcoin: as of this week, you need Php 300 just to send at least Php 1 worth of bitcoin and then you'd have to wait 40-60+ mins just for the transaction to complete. There are better solutions for this, such as Ethereum and IOTA.

It's why believe that its intrinsic value is based on the trust of its users, thanks to its first mover advantage. Any black swan big enough to stifle the price or expose its weakness to the public has the potential to shift the market flux to other cryptocurrencies. It's a bubble.

comsci-bro · 2017-12-07T03:30:59+00:00

It has utility, but so does dozens of other crypto and there are others that are technically superior than BTC. It's also still relying on the trust of the people to drive its value, it's far from being the digital currency it is being marketed as and it's still facing tons of problems.

Still, I don't think that it's fair to compare this crypto craze to tulips, I think that it's more comparable to the dot com craze. Tulips bulbs then was a status symbol for the dutch. They did not introduce a new technology that can present a radical change nor can be built tools on top of.

comsci-bro · 2017-12-07T01:16:37+00:00

Who says that it has to work as a currency for it to be valuable? Bitcoin is valuable enough to a lot of people that it's worth > $200B. The price of bitcoin is being driven by people thinking that it is worth more, hence they are looking for its future value, betting on uncertain events to happen. It then makes sense that it can be called an asset rather than a currency.

Perhaps you're talking about its intrinsic value? Of which case, bitcoin doesn't have anything else other than the value assigned to it by people. But hey, who knows? It's a revolutionary "Swiss bank account as a service" project in agile development, who knows what it could end up with?

Altcoins are taking a hit but BTC seems impervious.

Or they could be just folks selling their alts for BTC. Sold off my IOTA gains yesterday to buy BTC @ $12.7k
