Thanks for the breakdown, I have a few questions:

1) What are the advantages of getting separate feeds from BATS/EDGEX etc. instead of using the consolidated then?

Is it because of the slight differences in matching mechanisms and priority queue in the different exchanges' orderbooks? But how can you get a competitive advantage if RegNMS forces exchanges to execute you at NBBO anyways.

2) Another question I have is, let's say I send a DMA marketable limit order to BATS specifically to get the liquidity rebate fees and because there's a price improvement for that marketable order; BATS is obligated to re-direct my order to ARCA, do I still get to collect the rebate fee structure from BATS or is that order technically under the fee structure of ARCA.

EDIT:

> Once you get to the regular hedge funds, pensions, or anyone who doesn't do heavy algo trading

You are correct that most hedge funds and pensions probably don't trade on HFT strategies. But some of them execute their bulk orders on HFT platforms through integrations via whatever OMS they use. So instead of market-making, liquidity rebates and stat arb strategies, institutions use iceberg, hidden vwap orders to execute their bulk orders at opportunistic times; their bulk order execution algo does analyze the depth of orderbooks to determine the level of aggressiveness of their orders and also leverage co-location for fast execution.
No worries, thanks for linking us, and appreciate the sentiment.

You're absolutely right that there are a lot of people jumping in for other than noble reasons. When we first started, there weren't any other WordPress plugins doing what we're doing, and now it seems like there is a new one every day.

The downside to this is that it hurts consumers and builds resentment and distrust, but it's my hope that eventually, the buzz will wear off and the field will settle.
It might have been your HDHP plan. I know the one my employer offers still have "networks". That is, the fees are pre-negotiated by the plan (you basically pay the same as for the non-HDHP plans). It's not hard to find out what they are either.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospitality_management_studies

Without getting into specifics, my bf's research deals with epidemiology and things related to improving public health in the hospitality/tourism industry. Sure, at the undergrad level it's mostly vocational, but it's not like there's no public benefit to full-fledged academic research in this area.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that his work will probably have a greater positive net effect on society than mine will. But since math is a "real science", I make the "big bucks" (relative to graduate students, i.e., two steps above ramen-profitable).
Except in Office 2008, where Cmd-‘ is broken! If they didn't fix that in 2011, I am going to switch to OO.o out of spite.
Randomized studies of new treatments often exclude the sickest patients that could have benefitet most from the treatment. In particular, there won't be any really seriously ill patients in the control group because they will most likely die without treatment.

That skews the results of these studies. This is what they try to illustrate with the jumping out of plane study. The result won't be reliable if you don't have a control group that actually might have benefit from the treatment.

Cancer patients (jumpers), will or will not get a new type of chemotherapy (parachute). But since it is known that the sickest (hightest jumping hight) certainly will die without treatment (parachute), they decide to only test the treatment on patients with only early stage and benign cancer (close to the ground).
OSX on armv6 or v7 is secure enough to not warrant the use of a virtual machine. Virtual memory and memory protection were not commonly found in mobile pre-iPhone, making the choice of the JVM or dalvik in 2003, when Android was founded, or earlier in the case of RIM, convenient.

Regardless, the review process as it stands provides little in the way of additional security, a fact that further weakens your vague argument. Static analysis can only go so far. The status quo is about desire for revenue, not supposed "technical realities". All I am proposing is that allowing apps from other sources would have little effect on either.

Call me when Apple ever allows fully native 3rd-party software on the Mac.
"The issue is that you don't understand that the value of a Java object reference is the same as a C++ pointer"

A C++ pointer is a simple thing: an address within the program's address space. In an earlier response to a similar claim of yours, RayleyField pointed out that "In HotSpot references are double pointers (useful for moving GC), but in general it's up to JVM implementation." Certainly, if you dig into a Java reference, you will find an address that is analogous to a C++ pointer, but the same can be said of a C++ reference. Java references are not exactly equivalent to either C++ references or C++ pointers, and the statement that Java passes by value is not dependent on an arguable claim that Java references are more like C++ pointers than C++ references. This line of argument has just added to the confusion in these threads.
Yeah the tongue-in-cheek humor in this article is pretty good.
That's pretty much all I was thinking about while reading the article. While cheaper Android phones may hurt Apple a bit, I think it hurts Nokia much more if they aren't able to change fast enough. Judging from responses at the Meego conferences, I feel bad for Nokia.

Syntax helps frame thought. I wrote a comment on this topic over on the StackExchange just the other day. http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/30135/does-sy...
The Aolserver web server is one of the most readable C programs I've ever seen. Each function definition is preceded by documentation of its purpose and side effects. Unfortunately the modules tend not to be quite as clean. The development community is dwindling but exceedingly polite and helpful.

The one gripe I have is that the tuning parameters are not well documented (especially post 4.5.0). You have to study the source in order to dig out all the parameters you need to tweak in order to really make the server sing.
Here's my question. Where are the girls in FOSS? Given that 15-17% number, you'd think there would be more. What are the barriers?
I was seriously considering getting this one, but I just can't get over the fact that they're not including a charger with the latest version. Pure greed.

As someone else who lives in a small town and works remotely, I have to agree it's a beautiful thing. I lived in San Francisco for a while, but I'm just not a city person, and it was hard to be so far away from my family and friends back east. 10 years ago, I would have had to choose between optimizing for my career or optimizing for happiness in my personal life. For the first time in history, it's not hard to actually have both.
That doesn't include benefits. Any benefits (such as health insurance) would come out of that. I believe the rule of thumb is to add on 20% of a salary for cost of benefits. So this would be closer to a salary of $165k, plus benefits.
the problem is if you think about it for longer than a minute you realize the recruiters are simply doing keyword searches and blind spamming as many people as possible.
You're not wrong, but anyone who actually has an office in the physical whitehouse, or anyone within, say, 5 layers of the President, actually shouldn't be concerned with the implementation of the technology. They should be focused on getting money and resources to the people who do the tech and running interference for them to help prevent them from being sabotaged by political opponents. In between their other million non-technical job responsibilities, many of which involve a lot of legal, policy and political details.

That said, obviously they should have brought in the campaign website team to oversee this instead of doing the standard federal government contracting route, which leads to a late, over-budget project literally every single time.
You act like there's some sort of contract that says I have to download and display everything in your html.

There is not.
"I suspect that this would work in society's favour."

maybe, but it would most likely take the profitability out of most good ideas for small companies. As soon as a good idea is seen as profitable, a bigger company with more resources (connections, time, money, employees) could come along and run with it.

Once companies got to a certain level, they could just sit there on their laurels and poach ideas from others. Over time, this would result in less and less innovation and we would probably have a few big companies in each industry.
To be clear, I understand fully that time is limited in a startup. I'm not sure you should spend the time to clean up and generalize your Goliath stuff. It may not be worth it.

But in the context of this post, it just came off as a little bit "holier-than-thou" to hear you say more-or-less: jeez everybody, what's your problem? We've solved this so why is it taking everyone else so long to catch up?

Now I believe you didn't mean it that way, but it seems like a helpful way to push things forward is to release bits and pieces of what you have, or at least write up a bit more detailed descriptions of the various pieces. That would be very helpful :)
What do you mean "there goes your mortgage"? Banks don't swoop in and foreclose on your home just because you don't have a job. If you're still making the monthly payments then your mortgage is still in good standing. They don't care if the money is coming from a salary or your savings.
1. The notion that a cure must be widely applicable is the foundation of clinical medicine, even with personalized medicine. You simply can't run clinical trials with a sample size of 1. Just because an individual treatment is tailored to the patient doesn't mean the process and plan of action is generated new each time. The OP is stating how there is no way to generate the 'curative' stem cells and the odds of them appearing in natural populations is extremely rare. This case is an awesome but exceptional situation, and is not a basis to claim a breakthrough in the fight AIDS. As a proof of principle, even anti-retrovirals show that an individual can be healthy post-infection.

2. There are no FDA approved therapeutics for disease that use bacteriophage, there is only some things as preservatives for meat. Most treatments of genetic disorders are generally nonspecific - they treat symptoms and gene therapy is still a developing field. Even in that case, the delivery vector is usually generalizable - usable in many patients with slight individual modification.

3. in vivo refers to in glass, or in an experimental set-up, this is most clearly not in vivo.
It would require a lot of moderation. It would also require a lot of evaluation of the people who's profiles would display the ads.
There's something to be said for complying with default settings. I know there are people out there who only ever work on their own machines, but I find that when I'm hopping around on 100+ different boxes I don't own it's worth the trouble to live by the default mappings and behaviors.
This is real science. It took three years to be sure; and for an announcement like this, the investigators want to be sure before they put their reputations behind it.
Does anyone have any idea about how this compares to Gaze Hawk (http://www.gazehawk.com/)?
Whether the treatment is is worse than the disease is less relevant here than the fact that this proves it is in fact possible to cure. With that knowledge, we can pursue techniques that won't hopefully won't have such drastic consequences.

I don't think it only affects servers outside of China. Just users loading Baidu Analytics from outside of China. Given that most of these sites are probably domestic, they'd need to take action domestically. All non-Chinese sites blocking Baidu would do little to mitigate the attack.

Also I don't think it's accurate to say "their networks are being used to attack others". Nor does their network have to be compromised. Someone is just MITMing their js. (assuming their innocence and no hack).

Baidu is in a very bad position (govt-relations wise). Best they can do is report it to some department/police and hope for an answer.

they do (did?) also have showrooms. customer service staff. who knows if they did their own assembling or final product qa. they certainly weren't running your average SaaS service.

i'm not _too_ surprised about 2800 people. i'm surprised there's anyone left afterwards.
Of course a tax code is complicated. It touches pretty everything with respect to income and expenditures, with numerous special cases. The truth is, that most people only deal with the same two forms, a 1040 and a W2. Like anything complex, only a very small portion is actually utilized by any particular individual. Glossing over this, and instead trumpeting some canard like number of pages, or number or words, is simply a rhetorical device to mask different objective.
I believe they had install crews to go around and set up their bikes in people's homes. This had to be a lot of employees right there.
Don't worry, that will be enabled at a later date. Mid-Atlantic.
You can send money using Apple Pay, but most of these free money transfer applications are free because they’re using ACH, so they “need” access to the bank account to see if the underlying funds are there.

If they transact like a credit card processor, there are fees.

This is setup so that you can run an existing merchant app (launching with Stripe) and collect money with all of the same fee requirements as using stripe normally.
Honestly, just the fact that rubyspec exposes a segfault in a new release is more than reason enough that they should be using it. It is de facto a more complete test suite than the ad hoc one they've been making.

Given that, the onus is on the MRI developers to demonstrate why they are actively avoiding the use of a tool that could improve the stability of their language and environment.
> The qualitative shift of computational man finds that what he has read can be made into action, simply by it having been written, yet this does not hold true for a person who is handed Durants history of the world, or Livy’s history of Rome (before having been taught Latin, even!) and being told, you have knowledge, even though you can’t get through it all.

I think you have much too high a regard for your own interests and craft. I can guarantee you a cabinetmaker, machinist, pilot, doctor, or lawyer can make any and more of the same style of arguments. A little bit of computational knowledge? Yes it's very useful, and that's what low-code tools like Excel/spreadsheets are for. Akin to learning the basics of reading. More than that? No I think you overestimate the usefulness of computing, and most people only have a working knowledge of reading and writing. The world is full of complexity everywhere. Computing isn't the only thing with this force multiplier effect for humanity.

I like the courage trying to manage this. Two thumbs up.

To be honest, I am skeptical, that a newcomer startup can do the heavy lifting of supporting such a big stack. Each of these has a lot of specialities that need to be known and to fight.

Background: Our stack uses appjet, nginx, varnish and couchdb. Each of these has different challenges. Think of optimization, scaling, resource limiting, leveling, monitoring, statistics and enforcing governor limits/notifying customers. We needed over a year to establish this. I don't want to sound negative, just think about all this, what we needed learn.

The Texas legislature meets for 140 days every odd year. The bill was not passed in this session (which is to say it failed). It will likely be reintroduced in 2015 when the Texas Legislature meets again.

Going to be another person to chime in to say Dropbox is awesome. I use it for passing podcast recordings back and forth with my cohost (while we're editing), as well as hosting and backing up arbitrary photos, HTML, and presentations. I still have plenty of free space (thanks to awesome stuff like this, and the 2x referrals for students), but when I hit my cap I'll have no qualms about paying.
This is certainly a good news for both Microsoft and Google.

Wish I had seen this 21 hours ago.

I currently work in the game industry, previously worked in the game industry, and have worked for non-industry consultancies that are trying to break into the industry.

First, if you're not a gamer yourself, you're not going to get much traction. You'll be able to check reasonable boxes of features, and no-one will ever use them, and you won't understand why. The domain knowledge is cliquish and subtle and if you don't actually play games (a lot), there's no way to acquire it.

Your first idea is a great example of this, and it's the first one most people hit on, because there aren't a lot of web-based communities for gamers like there are for other markets. This is because the community is in the individual games and on the individual consoles. A consultancy I worked for made this same mistake, actively pitching companies by saying "we can help build community around your games" and being thrown out of offices for their ignorance. This is also why you can't make a social network that effectively ties together PC, PS3 and Xbox360 gamers: the console manufacturers and publishers don't want you to. Rupture might have gotten close, but then EA bought them, and then shut them down.

2, 3) Groupon for gamers doesn't make sense on the consoles, because you'll need to get MS/Sony/Nintendo buy-in, and Steam already runs sales on the PC, and there are already the indie game bundles that they organize themselves... there's no pain point there.

In fact, someone else mentioned this already: gamers don't have a lot of pain points that a startup can address. There's a big one in the MMO space: I get an MMO and it's awesome and I tell my friends, but by the time they pay for a subscription, the server I'm on is full and they are all on some other server, so I have to re-roll and start again. There's no good way to get everyone "on the same page" quickly and easily... and there's no way for you to do it as an outsider. That's functionality that really has to be provided by the MMO developers and supported by the publisher.

4) There is one LAN gaming center in Austin, TX left. It's dying from utter lack of interest. Gamers don't need to meet in real life. That's the whole point of networked consoles and PCs.

Security is some place you might be able to break in: a universal PC gaming security dongle. WoW already offers an RSA keyfob-style authenticator. Steam is basically online DRM like Ubisoft was doing, except the value proposition is enough to make gamers not care. Give publishers your dongle for free. Give it away to gamers. Charge the publishers and studios a retainer for integration and on-going support and servers for storing data.

Steam will be your biggest competitor in this, because along with DRM, they also offer cloud data storage across Mac and PC (and expectedly Linux).

All the other tech, like MMO servers and graphics engines, many game companies still believe they know best and would rather build themselves (NIH is strong in the industry).
She knows she'll sleep with a guy for a million dollars. She's thought about it.

A reasonable point; except you've asserted that and I'm not sure it's true. Do you have any data to back up the theory? Because one of the things that became clear to me was people hadn't really and truly considered it; there was a lot of thinking going on.

I realise the experiment was flawed; and we tested too few people to really make any definite observations.

However the aim was not to present it as a serious offer; but as a thought exercise. Once over the "wtf is this guy asking me" moment at the start we spent quite a while with each person (in private) discussing his/her thoughts. This made it a little more solid.

I agree with the idea that the joke is idiotic; clearly it is just misogynist crap (or, very occasionally just a racy joke - I've pulled it out maybe once to rescue a date :)).
But this is based on crime enforcement stats, not underlying incidence of the crimes themselves. There are areas of SF (like the park over at Haight and Ashbury) where these laws basically aren't enforced. Thus: perhaps not a great map for where to find drugs.

Prostitution may be similar; there seem to be areas in every city where it's practiced openly and brazenly, which tells me there's a sub rosa understanding between law enforcement and prostitutes.

(Note also that "drugs" here probably means "vials", and "prostitution" here probably means "street hookers").
I think the true analogy isn't to the programmer who's good at writing in a specific language. It's the skills behind conceptualizing software and developing its architecture that does translate well. If you're a great programmer, find someone who has knowledge of a specific subject area and combine your skills to create a great application that targets that body of knowledge.

Your final point about someone understanding how to give people what they want is the true skill. Its these true skills, like the analytical mind of a programmer, that can translate into different subject areas, you just need to find a way to acquire knowledge and apply that with your skills to another topic.
Hahaha.. circular. By the time news happens.. its already too late =)

One issue is that lots of job ads are really poorly worded or have shoot-for-the-moon requirements that are not really requirements. There are plenty of cases where the most qualified person for the job may be someone that doesn't meet most of the requirements in the posting. Though this is more of a commentary on the state of affairs with respect to the composition of job postings.
Anyone changing investment strategies based on news like this?
I think it very likely that most of the US government is cheering a devalued dollar; weak dollar = significantly increased exports, and jobs. America really, really needs both of those right now.

What's clear in the last few years is that nobody is going to shoot missiles or send troops over currency devaluation; this is a relatively simple way to boost your own country's economic strength.

Since we're more decentralized than say, China, those who'd like devaluation can't just mandate it, but I'd be stunned if a weak dollar is seen as a bad thing by the current Administration.
