(not so) Detailed Analysis of a Trade: lots of detail is lost here, you can see the problems start right at the beginning with this quote: "The 2nd column is the timestamp of the event - this is from CQS/CTA, the consolidated quote and trade SIP (Securities Information Processor)". Looks like they are determined to show only timestamps from the consolidated tape, which has been pretty much useless as a source of information for about 10 years or more. They omit the firm's receive timestamp for each message and also details of the trade execution reports received from Goldman Sigma X, which they are claiming as the source of information leakage that causes this order to be faded. Regarding Phantom Liquidity, they ask the pertinent question directly in the article: "what kind of liquidity"? but they get the wrong answer. The liquidity where you can dump a 20,000 share order directly on a market with tight spreads and not get faded does not exist now and never existed in the past; spreads were wider back in the day where you could have a hope of doing this. If you want to move large size with low slippage, you need to ship it to someone with good algorithms or spend the money to develop those algorithms yourself (along with the required technical infrastructure such as direct feeds, etc); those are really the only options available.
> ...I expect that intelligent people at Microsoft know that the old ways won't work again [because] ... [t]he computer technology world has changed a lot since then ...

I'm not nearly as confident as you seem to be.

People with purchasing power can still be swayed by FUD. Less-technical bosses are not-infrequently swayed by marketing copy from glossy mags and giveaways from salesman rather than sound technical advice from technical staff. It's abundantly clear that shadowy back-room deals and front-room exclusionary deals based on tremendous price cuts on widgets that have a near-zero unit cost are still tremendously effective.

I expect that within five or ten years, after this new crop of programmers have happily been making Microsoft software a critical part of their workflow, Microsoft will return to its traditional MO.

As I said earlier, for many of us this isn't our first rodeo, and isn't the first time Microsoft has played the nice guy for a little while. :)

the discount varies by investment round. common shares for early stage companies come with a huge discount. or perhaps it is clearer to say that preferred shares come with a huge premium primarily because the liquidation preference (LP) is so valuable at that stage). preferred shares in later rounds have a much lower premium, because investors don't value the LP as much.

Imagine you live in a city and there are currently 1000 houses on the market, you take out an ad in the news paper telling everyone that there are only 1000 and you want to buy 900 of them.

Someone wakes up at 6 AM reads the paper and phones every real estate agent in town telling them they will pay the asking price and a little bit more, most agents sell to him and he makes a nice tidy profit off of you who now have to buy from him.

Is he front running you or are you just dumb? Especially given that you could take news paper ads out all week long and then let the guy who bought 800 of the houses take the loss on them. Or you could execute a bunch of small 50 trade orders and buy all the houses you want at the asking price.

I don't really care about Square's investors (sunk costs are sunk, plus ratchets and other protections), but what does this do to employee retention (and hiring ability)?

I assume people who joined years ago will still do fine, but what about people who joined in the past 6-12mo? Will they get repriced options? Are cash salaries all people care about? Square has (and still does) have some great people, and it's a "robust job market".

Oh, Square definitely could grow out of its current malaise. I think its biggest problem has been a lack of focus on payments. It basically ceded online payments to Stripe when pretty much all of its merchants need it. It has been extremely slow expanding internationally and bringing out an chip/ApplePay terminal. Instead it has been expanding into various mediocre businesses like scheduling, payroll, food delivery. I'd reluctantly let it keep going on lending since that's hot right now but I don't like it as a core part of its payments business.

I think Jack is capable of leading both companies but I don't think the part-time roles are helping the stock price of either at the moment.

iTunes vs. Google Play by Tom Leclerc
A recent attempt by Chinese scientists to modify human embryos showed serious problems with that strategy. From the paper [1]:

"...the efficiency of homologous recombination directed repair...was low and the edited embryos were mosaic. Off-target cleavage was also apparent... Furthermore, the endogenous delta-globin gene (HBD), which is homologous to HBB, competed with exogenous donor oligos to act as the repair template, leading to untoward mutations. Our data also indicated that repair of the HBB locus in these embryos occurred preferentially through the non-crossover HDR pathway. Taken together, our work highlights the pressing need to further improve the fidelity and specificity of the CRISPR/Cas9 platform, a prerequisite for any clinical applications of CRSIPR/Cas9-mediated editing."

Maybe we'll find a system that's better or we'll modify Cas9 somehow to stop these off-target effects, but for now it's not really viable.

I have often said, one of the worst things that can happen to a physical goods start-up is to get a huge order from a single customer. Finding the working capital to pay for millions of dollars in raw materials can be nigh on impossible. Banks won't loan you the money without a track record of delivering similarly sized orders, and raising a round is an incredibly expensive way to float your receivables.
I don't think there will be a boom either, but instead a gradual trend as more and more companies and employees find the Midwest a favorable place to live for the other reasons mentioned in the post.
A number of the assumptions in the paper are questionable in hindsight.

Disk bandwidth consistently exceeds network bandwidth by a significant factor in common systems and this is likely to be the case for the foreseeable future. A platform with a good I/O scheduler can easily and demonstrably turn that into extra throughput on the same hardware for many use cases.

Their corroborating examples are platforms that happen to have poor I/O scheduling. In these cases, the effects of poor I/O schedules would be expected to dominate the effects of differences in bandwidth. You would expect the differences in available bandwidth to have no practical effect as a result. But there are many platforms that do implement good I/O schedulers where differences in bandwidth materially affect performance because the I/O schedulers can take advantage of that bandwidth.

While not entirely their fault, their assumptions about the cost of SSDs is incorrect. The difference in cost/GB is down to a relatively small integer factor and shrinking, well under a single order of magnitude. And these can deliver enormous local bandwidth in cheap systems. In many cloud clusters now, the cost of a large, local SSD JBOD (how you would want to use it) is less than the cost of the server, even with cheap servers. The cost of using SSD over spinning disk has become increasingly marginal for many applications.

In summary: platforms with good I/O schedulers see real benefits to disk locality, assuming the application is I/O intensive. Platforms with poor I/O schedulers not so much. Make the appropriate choice for your use case and platform.

>Except that the Jews of 1915 were not blowing up, mas-murdering nor terrorizing people, nor were they waging war on non-Jews.

You are saying that if a small subset of Jews were blowing up, mass-murdering and terrorizing people (which they did during the zionist insurgency, and are also doing today), That means that would justify the persecution of the world's Jews and the general anti-semitic sentiment of the mainstream during that period?

I'm a high school Senior (17) and I'm currently taking it. It is ridiculously understandable and I often see myself yearning for more. But I've also had Calc 3 + Linear Algebra by now, so its understandable that not everyone would get it. The intuition is simple, however.
I agree that we don't need to formulate a strategy to criticize. What I'm saying is that we're already fantastically good at that, and have articulated the negatives very well; I just don't think we've presented a credible, compelling vision that will get those in power to say "Ok, there's an alternative that might work. Let's try that instead of going down this other road that is only making people angry and/or probably won't have the desired outcomes anyway."

No, I didn't do any research. I took a class on West Asia and North Africa in school. I lived in Iraq for a year.

But I don't think you've done any research, either. You're just saying talking points.

>Last I checked, the U.S. was still trying to screw with and control much of the Middle East instead of support them.

You checked? Let me know what you checked. Where you checked. Who you checked with.

Truly? Isn't there a term for this kind of waffling? "No true scotsman" or something?

> So, fighting one isn't fighting terrorism so much as fighting one group while putting another into power.

That's what fighting is. Any fight you do is going to put someone in power. It doesn't matter if you're fighting terrorism or not; that's the whole point of fighting.

He might be referring to powershell ... I never use CMD anymore.

I first started using it a few years back because it uses 'ls' instead of 'dir' for a directory list. Over time I've learned more and more about how its improved over CMD... and it has gotten even better in windows 10.

May not quite be 100% as good as terminal on OSX but it really is very good.

Funny annecdote. I was at a clojure meetup last night tapping away on my windows 10 laptop and the developer behind me said "is that Ubuntu?" I told him that it was W10 and he said "wow, I guess I might finally have to admit that windows doesn't look terrible anymore"

I felt like that was pretty high praise given the audience.

A great article about K is http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10501320 - it introduces K as a magical, end-all programming language that is blazingly fast and would solve lots of problems...if only someone other than the author understood it.

"This" means that if Islam is so obviously blood-thirsty, and this is the only possible mainstream interpretation of this religion, then how come the vast majority of Muslims are NOT killing the infidel?

Yes, many Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia support ISIS; it's well-known this is a major source of funding. But how is this a counter to the fact the vast majority of Muslims -- are you aware that not all Muslims are Wahhabis, live in Saudi Arabia or, for that matter, are Arabs? -- are NOT trying to murder nonbelievers?

"Balderdash", you say about the article "The Phony Islam of ISIS". But what you say flies in the face of everything we know about religious texts; that they are anachronistic and self-contradictory in multiple places, and there is NO single interpretation of them. Evidently most Muslims choose not to acknowledge the part about spreading the word of Mohammed by the sword, or maybe you secretly believe they do -- all of them! -- and that they are biding their time?

The author argues that some parts of the Quran contradict other parts; that there are treatises and purported quotations of Mohammed that are meant to explain the Quran, but themselves are subject to interpretation and to varying degrees of reliability. I don't know about you, but I tend to trust the word of someone who studies religion for a living and specifically Islam to have read the Quran. Are you sure it's all "balderdash" and that this professor who teaches religious studies at college "has never read [the Quran] himself"?

But mostly I trust the reality of a world in which most Muslims are not trying to murder non-Muslims. I don't even need to appeal to authority here, just to reality.

The disk locality speed-up is increasingly not due to bandwidth, but latency (directly related to physical distance), which still matters.

To provide some perspective - in 1 cycle of a 1GHz CPU light (or electric potential) travels about 30cm. So round-trip communication with a disk (or whatever) that is 5cm away vs one that is one 1m away (could be same rack) would take 20 times longer in each direction. Now consider communicating across a football-field-sized datacenter.
So it looks like the answer is yes then. You do need a Windows machine to build the managed components. So I cannot build (for now) if I do not have a Windows machine.

I did actually follow this guide, though I still wasn't able to compile. The build failed before the managed components section. If I have a chance to look at it again, I'll try to file a bug report or get more help.
This is one of several areas where scruples would put the West at a significant competitive disadvantage in the years to come. I'm not sure whether there's any palatable solution. Can we see to it that we do not become monsters in the process of fighting them? I have doubts.

I think concern for ethics in scientific research will fall by the wayside in the face of a serious challenge to the current distribution of global power. If the Chinese begin engineering genetically superior soldiers (assuming such a thing remains sensible in an era of drones and robotic ground forces), the West will do the same. What an unfortunate vision of the future.
I think a lot of people think they can control police deaths. I think a lot of people see a young man killed by the police and think "that would never be me; I'd just do what they ask" or "my son would be polite and not argue so he wouldn't find himself in that situation." I think that is the reason police brutality issues are so hard to solve.
