Wow talk about waste of time, you jumped to a conclusion about what meant in a casual comment (you were way off, by the way, I didn't and wouldn't ever make the silly claim that language acquisition is a simple concept), and proceeded to assault us with a diarrhea of lingo meant to, what... prove how much you know about a topic? It comes off like a first year linguistics student trying to show off to his friends.

What I'm trying to say is that your time would be better spent in not correcting every instance of mild hyperbole

What was I correcting, exactly? I was giving a casual opinion. To call a casual, armchair hypothesis that differs from someone else's "correcting"... well let's just say you failed spectacularly at understanding human language patterns.

At a guess, fatalities have always been bad for business. The decline just represents a decline in jobs that tend to kill people (Vox is really bad with ignoring this sort of association).

I can't seem to find good pre-OSHA injury data (because OSHA are the only people counting), but that's where I'd expect to see the difference. You can run a business assuming injuries will happen, but pretty much everyone tries not to kill workers.

If you're interested in corruption in government, the CREW story is incredibly interesting. Most of these agencies have internal quality control and feedback systems, notably the Inspectors General.

In many cases these systems are no longer working like they should. NGOs tried taking over that role.

Now we're seeing the NGOs being "strategically restructured"

Who's left? The press? They suck up to whomever is in power. If they don't, they get locked out. SV? All they care about is keeping the money machine going.

I'm looking around and not seeing much of an answer.

Information is born classified, markings are irrelevant. Clinton had to sign a document affirming her understanding of this in order to gain access to classified information in the first place.

As for the crimes she committed, here are a few good candidates:

1.	Gross Negligence (doesn't require intent)
2.	Espionage (requires knowledge you're compromising security; also chargeable as Gross Negligence)
3.	Obstruction of justice
4.	Perjury
5.	Violation of the Federal Records Act
6.	Violation of National Archive and Records Administration's regulations
7.	Violation of Freedom of Information Act regulations
8.	Materially False Statements to federal agents
9.	Conspiracy (under 18 U.S. Code § 371)

He called her a milf to her face. That's completely unacceptable.

She was clear when she said "as friends at work". It wouldn't have been harassment if he hadn't been so crude and suggestive. if he'd just said "hey, want to have dinner some time?" Then it would have been a little forward, but not harassment. He didn't. He said "You're a mom I'd like to fuck".

It doesn't have to be ongoing to be harassment. Once you've declared "I'm the kind of guy that'll call you a milf to your face after only knowing you a short time"... all bets are off. Any time you're alone with him, you're going to feel uncomfortable. And I guarantee you, that kind of guy is not going to be a perfect angel the rest of the time. He clearly has messed up ideas of what is appropriate to say to women.

1. I find it both positive and daunting that the first section of this press release is "They're not being assholes this time". Linux systems should be the guardians of nonspying/noncloud systems.

2. It's excellent they have a theme on stability. I'm not sure how many customers it costs them every year. I personally when to Mac after my second Ubuntu upgrade (1st: the mouse, 2nd: the network).

3. I'd pay $200/yr for a free OS on a developer machine which just works, where I don't even know whether I'm running Gnome, Unity or KDE. I also want UX improvements (the Amazon search) to be well-UX tested (or rejected) before publication. Something like elementary.io, without the installation errors (yeah I've tried), and with on-the-phone magicians if there's a problem. Something like Mac OS X, but paid. I hope they'll do it one day, I wonder whether there's enough customers for that.
It's a good question. If you are a retail trader, you should almost always use limit orders.

You can never get a worse fill than what you ask for but the internalizer can make money off your order and you can miss out on market moves that occur in the second after you place your order. if you are fine getting price that you put your limit order in for then as far as you are concerned, you'll be fine.

As with all things market micro structure related, nanex.net has a good writeup on this.
I'm not sure how often this scenario occurs as I've never worked for an internalizer but its

http://www.nanex.net/aqck2/What-Every-Retail-Investor-Needs-...

Check out the section called "Marketable Limit Orders".

> For example: the Wholesaler receives a retail order to buy 2000 shares at $10.03 or better (lower)
when the SIP shows a total of 2000 shares offered at the best offer price of 10.01.

1. Wholesaler buys 300 from one exchange at $10.01, and immediately, 1700 shares that were available on other exchanges disappear, causing the best offer price to move to $10.02.

2. Wholesaler buys 400 at $10.02, and again, sell orders on other exchanges disappear,
causing the best offer price to move to $10.03.

3. Wholesaler sells short remaining 1300 shares at $10.0290 to retail investor, providing a $0.0010 price improvement relative to the $10.03 SIP offer price at time of execution.

4. Within seconds, stock reverts back to $10.01 offered.

5. Wholesaler covers short by buying 1300 shares at $10.01.

> By quickly influencing the price of the stock, perhaps by less optimal routing, then directly filling the order at an execution price away from the original NBBO at time of Order Receipt, the Wholesaler profits from the $0.019 change on 1300 shares ($24.70), less any "price improvement" given to the retail investor, less the $4.00 Payment for Order flow paid to the Retail Broker (2000 shares x .0020 per share) and $6 in exchange fees (maximum SEC fee $0.0030 per share x 2000 shares).
Well, not that I'm at all defending what happened here, but the situation is more nuanced than the average citizens. In this case, putting her in jail would effectively put Trump into the White House. I wouldn't be at all surprised if left-leaning (and maybe right-leaning too) groups who could (perhaps) apply more pressure in this situation are backing off by that reasoning.
Nobody has suggesting that setting up an SMTP server is a crime. Heck, nobody has said she shouldn't be using clintonemail or w/e for her personal communications (inc. Clinton Foundation business).

The issue was and is only with her use of a privately run SMTP server for her government job. There's three key problems, first off it avoids FOIA requests, secondly it can avoid other legal discovery, and lastly information was sent through it of a sensitive nature.

And before someone replies with "nothing was sensitive!" if that were true then why has the government redacted and withheld emails from the public? And retroactive classification is largely a myth, things inherit classifications from their source.

So for example if you attend a classified meeting and you or your staff take notes on that meeting, those notes are classified at the second pen touched paper. It doesn't matter than it lacks a classification marking.
Yeah that's one I don't quite understand either. From what I understand, if we put aside the ratings system, these platforms are easier to work with than traditional taxi services, where you were leasing vehicle and medallion from them. Here at least you can dip your toes if you like and stay or you can go as you wish.

People talk about reimbursements for gas and mileage which they'd be owed if employed. But dont they know this to be the case beforehand and still accept the terms?

I think people are seeing these valuations based on potential (platform, automation, etc.) and perceive it to be based on current services model and thus feel left out of the future windfall.

In any case, drivers have an expiry date in the not too distant future, so grab what you van now.
"Did they really need to make their own app store?"

Who are all you people? What happened to HN?
.pst? Microsoft Outlook? Really? Wasn't that software package very exploitable in the 08-12 timeframe? It seems likely the server was some version of Exchange.

Why would anybody in her right mind -- not to mention a powerful and visible government official -- operate her own email server?

In that timeframe there were several SaaS email providers that were very secure. A couple were even certified as HIPAA Associated Business Entities (for certain limited use cases). That's a high standard of security.

It's not hard to believe that servers for staff use operated by a department of the US federal government were ancient, poorly maintained, and vulnerable. It's almost certain they had unreasonable usage limitations. "Sorry, your mailbox contains 24 / 25 megabytes so it's almost full." Plus, they probably thought they were cool because they had a T1.

But why couldn't a powerful person like Secretary Clinton figure out how to contract with a competent SaaS? I bet the big email provider on Amphitheater Road would have jumped at this project.

Finally, how come nobody involved in this cluster*k has ever answered the question "why?"
This is marvellous. IMO Functional has always been a bigger deal than Reactive. Great to see more of that pursuit of simplicity paying off.

The funds then get a free look at these orders where if they are beneficial to them they can fill the order, or if they aren't, then they can pass the order onto an exchange.

This is simply false. For example, IB describes the mechanism here:

Liquidity Provider Relationships: IB has entered arrangements with certain institutions under which such institutions may send orders to IB at or near the NBBO. These orders are held within the IB system and are not displayed in the national market. If another IB customer order could be immediately executed against such an order held in the IB system (at the NBBO), the orders may be crossed and the execution reported to the National Market System...

http://www.arcacapitalinvestments.com/new/arcacapitalinvestm...

So no, the liquidity providers don't get a "free look". They get to place orders (before you do) and your brokerage fills them if there is a price match. The price is always at least as good as in the national markets, modulo the limitations of physics/CAP theorem/etc.

The purpose here is to enable price discrimination - you pay a lower price for liquidity (since you have less adverse selection), Goldman pays a higher price (since they have more adverse selection).

One could argue that many taxi drivers don't speak English as their first language, and thus are an easy to exploit group of workers. The same way we pay some migrant workers under minimum wage to pick crops from our fields, we abuse Taxi drivers?

No, parallel construction. That's what law enforcement does when it has illegally gathered proofs: knowing what they're looking for, they figure out another way to "find" it again, but this time through legal and seemingly lucky paths. The later proof is expected to stand in front of a judge, whereas the "real", original one wouldn't. They might also do it to protect a confidential informant.

Essentially, it's to legal proofs what laundering is to money.

Just because it has happened in the past, doesn't mean the government can't be forced to change.

However, it's that sort of defeatist attitude that:

1) is contagious and makes most people who read it to think the same way. In other words, such comments actively harm any potential progress, even if the authors think that "they are simply stating the obvious."

2) makes those in power see that the People aren't outraged about their actions "because it's expected," which gives them an even bigger incentive to keep doing those actions because they know no one expects them to be punished.

From a legal standpoint, you need do nothing. He is not in any position to commit quid pro quo harassment. So far, there is no evidence of hostile workplace.

What your female employee has done is to cover her own ass in case the new male employee engages in any work-inappropriate behavior. If she comes to you again, and claims harassment, you are primed to believe her immediately and take immediate, appropriate action at that time.

Don't fire him. Don't kick his ass. Don't have a meeting with HR. Write down, "Ms. Y stated on [datetime] that Mr. X propositioned Y to upgrade beyond a work-only relationship, and Y declined. Y presented sufficient evidence to substantiate this claim." Attach a copy to both of their personnel files.

In two weeks, six weeks, and twelve weeks, proactively hold 1-on-1 meetings with all your employees, including Mr. X, and ask them if they feel as though Mr. X is assimilating well into the workplace. If no one has any complaints, even after you go fishing for them, there is no evidence of hostile workplace, and you have no further business with your employees' personal relationships.

It isn't your business to manage your employees' personal lives. It is your business to provide them with a safe, cordial, and productive work environment. It isn't your business to remediate unsavory bro-havior. I don't like how sales and biz dev tend to work in the real world, but I know that sometimes that kind of behavior is beneficial to a business. I just don't hang out with that sort of people in a social context. I prefer that their oily schmoozing be directed at potential customers, and I'm sure they prefer that I not ruin their good time with my dry-toast nerdity.

Personally, though, I would question the judgment of a biz dev employee whose first act in a new camp is to dig his latrine next to the watering hole. Aren't they supposed to cultivate new business relationships outside the company?
Except you can't be "general people-ist".
