>I don't think Twitter is going anywhere; it has a huge user base and a lot of people think of it as a branch of the internet.

It's not going anywhere in the next year or two. But in five years? Ten years?

Twitter's main problem is that it has one product, and it's possible to get bored with that product. It's not really possible to get bored of googling things or buying things off amazon, but it's entirely possible to get bored of twitter.

Remember when every man and his dog had a blog? (Or possibly a livejournal?) Remember when the word "blogosphere" was all over the news? What happened to all the blogs?

It seems to me that stock price is correlated with more money: if I have X stock options worth Y dollars each, I effectively have X*Y dollars worth of stock. If stock price increase by 1 dollars, I have X dollars more than I did before. No?

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Blue Screen on Windows 10
Well, I finally got my first Blue Screen or Stop Error on Windows 10. While working on my laptop, I suddenly found my screen flicker, go black and then I saw the Blue Screen with the Stop Error – SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED. Windows collected some information and once that was done, my computer rebooted. Although I received on an otherwise stable system
Unqualified as I am, I feel compelled to give some commentary. This is the real deal. As the article describes, the Nobel Prize was awarded for a discovery of facts that are inconsistent with the (poorly named) Standard Model of particle physics. That is, facts that are inconsistent with the equations that so far have been assumed to describe all of physics except for gravity.

Neutrinos, which according to the Standard Model have zero mass, have been shown to have non-zero mass. That's the limit of my knowledge.

If it's impossible to make a labor-saving device that doesn't harm bystanders, then the reasonable solution is "do without that device," not "go ahead and let it hurt people."

Same here, I find whole milk delicious and healthy; it's been a big part of our family's diet (we're vegetarian).

What I find more ridiculous though is how the food industry sells Whey, Casein and Cheese separately at up-marked prices and people have bought into the idea that it's ok to consume these milk by-products separately while avoiding milk.
Inserting ad images into Instagram would be fairly trivial. Given the large number of celebs on Instagram, shared revenue on product placement is another option. Promotion of high profile Instagram accounts (say, a new movie) etc

How is trusting you data to several corporate entities better than to just one?
The primary benefit was that it decreased transaction costs which is the reason spreads went down in the late 90s/early 00s when humans were still in the loop.

Humans are of course perfectly capable of rigging the market with or without computers, a fact so mind-blowingly obvious, I'm not sure why you'd accuse someone of believing that it's false.

This particular thread was not about market rigging, it was about whether HFT can really be credited with decreasing spreads in the early 00s.
Many people would prefer the NSO since they don't lose out on vested shares upon departure (or get saddled with a massive tax bill). If you have a good chunk of equity, the outcome can be pretty binary: worth something substantial or basically nothing, in which case the slightly higher tax isn't nearly as important as actually getting a piece.
You think it's contradictory to say that private individuals and cities should both fund public-benefit causes?

Come on, man. That's not even coherent. If you get mad when people tell other people how to spend their money, just say so.
I can confirm this, having flown through airports in both places. I flew into Ushuaia from Buenos Aires and out of Punta Arenas, taking a bus between the two (since Chile and Argentina apparently don't get along all that well).

Speaking of which! The website also says "the team will link up with a British Antarctic Survey transport plane". The British and people in Ushuaia (and Argentina generally, although feelings seem to run a bit higher in Ushuaia) also don't get along terribly well. So, this may well be the closest a British team is able to get commercially and link up with a British flight to Antarctica.

Fun fact: the area around Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego) has a beaver infestation problem, thanks to enterprising souls importing beavers there from Canada.

Is the word "Quay" even used in US English?

Are we allowed to call a mispronunciation a mispronunciation when it's only pronounced that way by people who have probably never encountered that word before?
That's an improvement, but I still don't see why they should cost more than a decent crock pot. Hell, my crock pot cost $50 and it actually came with a thermometer probe that plugs into the base and reads out on the front panel. You could practically turn it into a sous-vide cooker with a factory firmware swap.
I guess that is the argument anyway. FB also recorded it's estimate of the useful lifetime of the WhatsApp users it acquired as a finite intangible asset worth over $2 billion.

My point is that the transaction must be analyzed from the viewpoint of the owners (as that is what the poster I was responding to cared about, viz a viz total profit/revenue to Twitter). When you do that, WhatsApp cashed (well, assuming FB stock can be treated as cash) out more per employee than Twitter.

The need for consistent, highly available persistent storage in a distributed system with a heavy write workload vastly complicates engineering effort. You're fighting fundamental issues like the CAP theorem. When you can't "just use Postgres" everything else gets a lot harder. Companies that have this problem tend to have a lot of engineers: Facebook, Google, Uber, etc.

Disks are slow. If you don't need to wait for disk, then you can handle a great deal more req/s per node, which means the point at which you need to become a distributed system is further away. Without the state synchronization problem, converting to a distributed system consists of little more than adding a load balancer.

Even in an environment that needs synchronized state, the services that can be stateless are much easier to deal with (and you try to make as much of your infrastructure stateless as possible).

Storage costs are not relevant compared to the costs of engineering distributed systems.

Except in the US we already have most of those regulations. Seeding torrents is already a criminal copyright violation. It is just not being exploited as a means to supress users as much as it could be, probably because the power base is not centralized enough yet to suppress the revolt it would cause (not a physical revolt, just a cultural one, and it would obviously not be pervasive, but isolated to those of us who actually even give a damn).
>What you haven't made clear is why you believe you're actually arguing with anyone here. I am 100% certain, because I've had the conversation with him multiple times, that 'kasey_junk agrees with you that there is such a thing as malignant electronic trading.

I was arguing that sub-second algorithmic trading cannot be credited with substantially reducing spreads in the early 00s.

kasey_junk linked to an article that claimed that.

It's a defense of HFT that's rolled out so often that it's practically become a cliche.

I thought it was going to be an article complaining about the US Navy's tendency to give up cool names in favour of naming ships after politicians who voted to give more money to the Navy, but I was thinking of the USS America. (Which was, I believe, the proposed name for one of the new Ford-class carriers until they decided to name it after a politician and stick the "USS America" label on a lesser ship.)
Sous-vide is better for some dishes because the temperature is controlled, and generally low. If you want a rare steak, the temperature should be 120 F (http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/food-lab-complete-guide-t...). A pressure cooker, because it relies on steam, will always cook above 212 F. That's awesome for a lot of dishes (chili! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pressure-cook...), but for many meat preparations it's overcooking.

One dish that I have directly compared sous-vide against more traditional techniques is pork shoulder. My "traditional" technique is oven-cooking, a process that takes 6 hours at 325 F. In sous-vide, the shoulder takes longer, more like 24-72 hours, but the temperature is lower, 135 F (http://sousvidely.com/sous-vide-pulled-pork/). Also, it's in a bag. The sous-vide version is better in many ways -- it's got more juice and color and tastes fresher -- and it's way easier because I don't have to turn and baste it every 2 hours.

But yeah, I don't love the consumables of sous-vide. I reuse bags and water whenever I can.
The correct response is not to give a damn about something so arbitrary.

It it not just about content creation, it is about cultural participation. The insanely long and draconic copyright laws the US has cripples the national culture by restricting the common arts (which in modern times includes artful film and interactive media) to pretty much only things from the 19th century and earlier.

It also destroys culture. It is why we have lost a supermajority of 20th century film, art, and music. Nobody can reproduce it to preserve it, so the original creators copies are destroyed or lost and the material is then lost forever, because its over a hundred years after its creation before is freed to us.

These kinds of laws, if put in place and enforced for a century, would systemically ruin the cultures of all the participating nations and any innovation they may produce, because US IP law is so fundamentally broken that any truly creative endeavor will be crippled by false claims while anything successful will be kept behind paywalls and restricted access to control the social culture of the society for over a century, or longer if Disney gets its way.
Dark pools exist largely to prevent HFT from parasitically extracting value from large trades. Spearing whales I believe it's called. Giant investment banks, hedge funds, insurance companies and pension funds use them.

>That if we didn't have HFT, we wouldn't need them? That's an argument for HFT, not against.

Dark pools are an evolved defense against parasitic market players that is not cheap. These costs are then passed on to you via your pension fund, index fund or if you buy insurance.

I don't see how that's an argument for them unless you or your friends were personally profiting from it.

I think it will primarily be determined by who can support (fund) the artists who are making the content people want to watch.

Of course, easy, essentially-free, world-wide distribution will make it harder for RIAA and MPAA to maintain control over the flow of mainstream art.

Viewer-funded (or even mini-investor funded) models could be viable. I'd imagine they could even compete favorably with large production studios if the right structure was found.

>How could the economic effect be the same?

If a value trader goes and does a lot of good research on a company and then executes smart trades based upon that research they will make a profit. All well and good.

If a value trader goes and does a lot of good research on a company and executes some smart trades based upon that and their broker front runs them, a substantial portion of their profits are handed over to the broker. Not good. Value trader may not bother doing all that research in future (market for lemons; equity market becomes ever more disconnected from the real world). Broker parasitically extracted the value of value trader's real world research from them.

If a value trader goes and does a lot of good research on a company and executes some smart trades based upon that and an HFT detects the trade they're putting through and trades ahead of them using their superior speed, a substantial portion of their profits are, likewise, handed over to the HFT. Not good. Value trade probably won't bother doing all that research in future (market for lemons).

Front running is both a principal/agent problem and a market for lemons problem.
The thing I find most galling about this is not merely what it contains. It is an awful document, with horrible policy, yes.

But, what is most disgusting is that we had to learn of how bad it is from leaked documents.

The leadership in many nations (not just in one nation, this is effectively a conspiracy at the highest levels of several nations, most egregiously the US) supported the TPP, lobbied for the TPP on behalf of a select few corporate interests, and all around sold themselves to the highest bidder, while keeping the details of it a secret from the people they allegedly represent. Democracy doesn't run on secrecy. What these leaders are pushing is not democratic, it is oligarchic.

It isn't one party's doing, either. This secret deal is not a Republican deal, or a Democrat deal. It has, at various times, had vocal support (even petulant support in the case of Obama, when fast track powers were on the line) from the likes of Hillary Clinton (she now makes noises acting as though she doesn't like it, despite championing it dozens of times, and after the damage has already been done), most high ranking Republicans in the house and senate, and damned near everybody else who ever cashed a check from ALEC.

All while it was secret. All while the only people allowed to see it were the lawmakers supporting and writing it and the corporations that paid for it (seriously, legal representatives from several multinational corporations saw this deal before the people of the United States were allowed to see it). Even if the deal weren't awful, it would still be awful, because of the way it is being made.

This post reminded me of the ideas discussed by Malcolm Gladwell in "The Tipping Point". IIRC, talks about highly networked individuals starting new trends.
Sitting in the Tableau Asia Pacific headquarters, we interviewed JY Pook, the vice president, Asia Pacific for Tableau, a NYSE listed data analytics software company. We start from JY’s early career in data to his current role in Tableau. In the conversation, we discussed Tableau’s footprint in Asia, and how Tableau has helped companies such as Hotel Quickly and Metro (a retailer in Asia) to extract insights from their data quickly and translate them into effective business outcomes. Finally, JY Pook offered his observations and advice on best practices in the data analytics space.
