> But what about Jump Capital? They have a crypto division that also does market making. The difference here is there are given a large chunk of tokens to market make with, as they please.
It may be a little early to make that comparison. Jump is still being investigated for its crypto shenanigans.
I think it’s a way of keeping the museum’s single most popular piece of art on display whilst working it. I think most museums would remove it for a while, but so many people come specifically to see this painting that they want to keep it viewable, so they make a little show of its restoration.
I dunno; I’ve been through that floor 5 or 6 times since they started work, and people always seem to love the spectacle of it.
Or have them set up in a way that makes them hard to run full-system benchmarks on. I can think of a couple of financial firms that have clusters that would rate on the Top 10, but a) as you suspected, they’re too busy running the money printers to take them down for a few days to run benchmarks, and b) they’re split up into more manageable little clusters, so the high speed fabrics don’t connect and allow every node to talk to every other node, which you need for an HPL run.
Do you have issues with other rollerball pens? I’m also left-handed, and really struggle with them (especially the G2). My issues seem to be that when I’m pushing the point across the paper, rather than pulling it across like a right-hander would do, they often dry up and there’s no ink coming out.
I like how quick drying gel pens are, but I haven’t been able to write with them consistently. If that happens to you with other rollerballs, I’ll give that Pentel Energel a try.
I had the same issue with the G2. I've always noticed some skipping with rollerballs, but none were as bad as the G2. It was astonishingly hard to write with.
The Energels and Sarasas are the best pens I've found: affordable, nice to use, reliable, and refills fit a variety of pen bodies. If there's skipping, wiping off the tip of the pen to remove any grime resolves it.
In case it's helpful: I place my hand under the text I'm writing, aka "underwriting" and use light to medium pressure.
> In your experience, has this led to more careful hiring?
Not in my (albeit limited) experience in the Netherlands. What I’ve seen it lead to is people hired initially into temporary one-year contracts, which are then converted to permanent contracts if things work out. I’ve definitely seen people be fired or otherwise pushed out even on permanent contracts. It’s not impossible, but as the above poster mentioned, it’s not easy either.
The quality of employees hired was certainly no better than at other companies I’ve worked for where firing was much easier. That’s with a sample size of 1 Dutch company though, and that company sucked, so it’s not a great dataset from which to draw conclusions.
In the financial industry, you don’t get your bonus when you’re on garden leave. This is usually the majority of your pay, so while it’s definitely nice to be paid to do nothing (I’m on garden leave currently until next September), you’re not earning up to your potential.
