Maybe before we rush to adopt machine learning in financial services we should consider the consequences of blithely giving this technology such a central position in our lives.


Boomers did have a lot of kids, the millennials. GenX is the in between generation.


The boomers are the result of the post-war baby boom. They are known for being numerous, not for getting particularly many children themselves.

If anything, millennials would be their grandchildren.


If you were born in 1955, you are a baby boomer. If you were born in 1985, you are a millennial. 1985-1955=30. 30 isn't the normal age for a grandparent.


Early Boomer: 1946 Early GenX: 1966 Early Millenial: 1986

40 years, it fits just fine when you don't take the latest possible boomer and the youngest possible millennial.


Latest possible boomer is early 60's. I took pretty much smack dab in the middle of the boomers. Millennial starts in what, '81-82? so about 16-20 years between, which is generation X. The earliest possible boomer is early 50's when the latest millennial is born. The latest possible boomer is 19 when the earliest millennial is born.


FWIW Wikipedia agrees with you. I thought millennial were later.


Yes. Another way of looking at it is that GenX are the children of people too young to be members of the Greatest Generation or participate in events surrounding WWII, but too old to be baby boomers.


> Generation X (or Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the Millennials. Demographers and researchers typically use birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s to the early 1980s, with 1965 to 1980 a widely accepted definition.


Congratulations your a prophet.


Yeah politics is an extremely broad topic. What’s common sense to one person is a insane governmental overreach to another. While I don’t think politics should hold a large place in the work place I’m always mindful when speech is restricted in pursuit of restricting “toxicity.”


This is going to be a great step in the right direction for early devs on stackoverflow. I really hope this cuts down on the duplicate questions which is both good for the askers and the rest of us.


Great suggestion! More features will be added in the later version for sure.


I wish he would spend a bit more time exsplining were some of the constants come from, although that would probably make the video a bit weaker overall. Wasting time on such information.


He's probably done videos on many of them already.


Yeah, I strongly believe that all books carry significant value. You don’t need high level concepts to gain value. We sometimes over focus on the best case scenrerio ignoring what we can get kids interested in.


That’s a vastly different title to the headline and I think misinterprets it.


We've reverted it to the original from “The man behind Dogecoin regrets nothing”, but we'd be happy to change it to something more informative if someone can suggest such a phrase from the article.


"The man who doged the Dogecoin"


I wouldn’t put bald face lieing beyond facebook, but this doesn’t seem like something important enough for facebook to care about.


You have any proof to back that up, or are you just going to spread FUD and hope the echochamber agrees with you?


No doubt, A small team can sometimes accomplish amazing things when they don’t have oversight. It’s too bad that the quality will probably stay stagnate.
