This is a really good point, especially since people who live in the suburbs are frequently a short train ride away from the exact same "culture" that the folks who live downtown get to experience. And if you're living in a sweet downtown loft but just sit in your room and watch Netflix all day long, why pay the premium? You can watch Netflix in the suburbs just as well.

I think that people obey fashion when it comes to living addresses just as much as they obey fashion when it comes to clothing, cars, and so on. No one likes to say that they living in a suburb of a Midwest city, even if that's actually the best decision they could make with their living circumstances.

> What the fuck is with the shills on hacker news?

I am not defending 23andMe as a company, as I am not aware of how clearly they have communicated with customers in the past or whether they have stuck to what they have said. I do know a number of people that were excited about their results being used in research, so I assumed it was common knowledge that was the path that 23andMe was taking. I tend to be more suspicious, so I have stayed away from their product/service/exploitation myself. I am, however, excited about some of the academic, non-profit work (by friends of mine) made possible by their data, which will eventually benefit mothers and children during pregnancy.

> Nonsense. There is value in individual data and aggregated data.

Sorry, I left the background and my assumptions unstated. In general, genetic information is of no value without substantial background knowledge (e.g., much like a book in a language you don't understand). Some of that knowledge is in the public domain and has been laboriously collected over long periods of time and at great public expense through grants (e.g., molecular studies tracking down mutations that affect proteins). The diseases that affect large numbers of people involve lots of genetic variants and new approaches are needed (e.g., Genome Wide Association Studies). For statistical reasons, these approaches require very large numbers of participants to detect variants that contribute to the disease. Statistically, people using 23andMe are more likely to benefit (albeit modestly) from this knowledge, which requires aggregated data, rather than the rare disease data.

This is most likely a form of hereditary colon cancer e.g. Lynch syndrome. It is caused by a germline (inherited) mutation in one of the genes that repair random mutations associated with replication (e.g. the MLH1). Because colon cells divide very fast colon cancer is typically the first one to form.
They don't care about "target markets" or what anyone else thinks. This technology is to protect their own trades.

The goal is to be able to execute buys across multiple exchanges (because the orders are so large) without other high frequency firms being able to see a trade on one exchange, then buy and resell stock to them at a higher price on another exchange.

Very true. Note, however, that this would also increase the cost of the outputs of those jobs to consumers. In your case the cost of laundry would probably increase to the point where it wouldn't make sense for a lot of people anymore. It's a complicated web of job loss, job creation, wage increases, price increases, automation, and several other factors all bound up together.
If you were looking to do this and wanted a text library that is more flexible than MonoGame's bitmap fonts, I maintain the QuickFont library for text rendering with OpenTK: https://github.com/opcon/quickfont. It doesn't have very good unicode support though.
Oh, thanks. Have not seen that and will check it out.
Took about 5 clicks to see a decent code example. This should be priority #1 on your homepage. A simple single-page program is ideal or examples for each of the listed points.

Does Nintendo really have that much to do with this? Pokemon Go is developed by Nitantic, and aren't the rights to Pokemon owned by The Pokemon Company? Is it just because Nintendo owns a large portion of The Pokemon Company, or does Nintendo themselves directly profit from this game?
Using ntp or whatever the new variant is is also standard, which as I recall can hit sub-microsecond consistency on a wide area network with good hardware. So yeah, not new.
Although the variant data is sparse, the utility of the data depends on the study design and what is being studied. In the one case that I am familiar with, the data turns out to be very powerful, but there are some things about the study that may be unique.
I think the whole point of this post was that it's a lot of fun to write code if you know it's not going to be taken seriously or used in the long-term, so what you're asking seems to be the exact opposite of why this was created.
I was raised to always double down on an unpopular idea if I think there's something to it, so here goes:

From the point of view of genetic fitness, homosexuality is not adaptive. So you would think that the genes that contribute to homosexuality would be powerfully selected against, since the number of expected offspring from same sex intercourse is zero.

Yet gay people make up a sizable portion of the population, which is not at all what you would expect. Unless there is some mechanism by which homosexuals have historically had children despite their natural inclinations.

Given that some portion of anti-gay attitudes seem to be oriented toward getting them to "be more straight" (or whatever), it seems possible to me that homophobia (or at least a certain flavor of it) is an adaptation whose purpose is to get family members to pressure a gay person into having offspring, since they would have a genetic interest in those offspring.

But that is an argument about why a certain behavior might exist in humanity. It is not an argument that homophobia is okay or justified. It is not okay.
It's practically impossible to have a pleasant moving experience. Even in college when you don't really have any possessions except a bed, sofa and some clothes it's unpleasant. As you gain possessions (and family members) it only gets exponentially worse.

My last relocation was from a 1BR apartment to a house ~100 miles away. Even with a moving company doing most of the packing and heavy lifting, it was still a week long exhausting process to get moved and probably a month after that before everything was really unpacked and semi orderly. I really dread next time.
There is something funny about culture. I lived in Cambridge, MA a number of years, and even though I never went to a single concert, museum, or other kind of event it always gave me certain warm and fuzzies that those things were available to do at any time. Maybe it was just something you could tell your friends or family. It's like there is a certain prestige to living there which makes it rate higher on a mental list of top places to live.

One of the things HFT firms take advantage of is increasing a nanosecond lead into a microsecond (or more) lead by route optimization. If they can get information from one exchange to another faster than the original order, they can effectively trade by looking into the future.

Many firms invest heavily in direct microwave links for paths normally served by fiber because of the speed advantage.
> without other high frequency firms being able to see a trade on one exchange, then buy and resell stock to them at a higher price on another exchange

This is a pretty common misconception of how latency arbitrage works. In reality the other HFT are not buying/selling new orders. Instead what they are doing is cancelling or modifying their existing orders so that they don't get hit by incoming orders.

HFT firms can have orders that have been resting for a very long time (days/weeks depending on the exchanges/risk rules) and you will never be able to get an order now in front of an order from last week, no matter how fast you are.
His policies contributed to this mess, why should we listen to him now?
Right. But in practice here I have to expect, from the rest the author wrote, that what he meant was one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, machine learning, convolutional neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, etc.

I believe the difference is that Skylake removed a bottleneck on the number of µops that can be sustained at some stage other than the execution units, but I'm not sure where. In the example I gave, the ADD from memory is an example of micro-fusion. It's held as a single "complex" µop in the DSB, but is "un-laminated" in to 2 for execution and retirement. The CMP/JCC pairs use macro-fusion, and are combined to form a single µop both in the queue and during execution.

It's documented that Skylake increased the number of µops that can be transferred from the DSB (Decoded Instruction Cache) to the IDQ (Instruction Decode Queue) from 4 µops per cycle to 6 µops per cycle. But by these metrics, we're only pulling 4 µops (representing 6 instructions) per cycle from the DSB, but these expand to 6 µops (not the same as the 6 instructions) at execution and retirement. I'm guessing that they improved the retirement bandwidth as well, but I haven't been able to find a clear statement of this, or what the new limits are.
Yeah, I like the illustration that Brexit is Bear Stearns especially because the market has recovered in the last two weeks(as it did with BS in 2007) and a DB implosion would be the Lehman Brother for the next collapse.
Those microwave routes operate at tens of millisecond advantages over the competing fiber routes.

[edit] Completely wrong comment. The microwave link I was thinking of had a 2 milli advantage over the fiber link.
I think you missed the point: the point is that the correct English usage is "fewer than" when discussing quantifiable items (e.g., lines of code). The title should be "...an editor in fewer than 1000 lines of code."
Hardware (e.g. FPGA) autotraders can have sub-microsecond response times.

When HFT was new, amateur forums that discussed it (like this one) were full of apologists saying that it didn't matter, it somehow didn't really effect the market. Some even claimed it made the market better.

The tone of the conversation, the framing assumptions, seem different now.
The problem with the aunt/uncle theory is the math. A non-breeding sibling would have to enable their siblings to have two additional children (above and beyond the children they would have had anyway) for each child that the non-breeding sibling forgoes having themselves for the strategy to even hit break even, from a genetic point of view.

That's a steep hill to climb.
This is the result of what happens when you have a massive intelligence community and workers decide to go into private industry.

"Threat intelligence" has always been a bit shady and of questionable security value. CEOs just like to get handed an "intelligence portfolio" to feel big and powerful, regardless if it practically improves their security.
Sure traveling is great when you have the resources to do so on a regular basis. For the large majority of urbanites, regular travel is either not affordable nor very convenient (note that most of the people on this forum probably can travel frequently; I'm talking about the general populace). In such cases, events put out in local venues provide the best opportunities for recreation.

It depends on which museum you're talking about. The Museum of Modern Art in Houston generally has month long exhibitions which I love. There is a Museum of Art in Austin which has even more regular events, based on different themes etc. So I definitely do visit museums more than once a year :)
When you say no cancer prevention whatsoever I think you are referring to just lung cancer. I do not know much about their national lung cancer recommendations but I do know that Japan has actually had a very robust GI cancer screening history compared to the US. This is partially due to their incidence of gastric cancer being much higher than in the US.
Actually front running is your car broker buying the car after you told them you want it...

Yes, this is exactly what I mean. Also, sometimes there might be some event which really catches your eye. This kind of stuff often happens randomly and is definitely not planned. Living in a city where this is possible: to attend interesting events without taking vacation, is the best part about living in cities.

I agree. I keep a journal, which used to be a daily practice for the past 2 years up until April. The reason for the change was that my morning routine was swapped around.

When I was writing daily, it was to capture moments and ideas that were sure to be forgotten. When Writing I don't pretend that it will be a great work at some point. I write because it is satisfying to me and at times my mind will wander when writing; it is at these times that I find really interesting ideas to capture my imagination... and I write them down.

Now, with a different schedule, I write every 2 or 3 days and it is still meaningful and expressive.

My perspective on the article is that the author was really excited about what worked for them... but failed to consider that everyone has a different approach. I think they are right that you need to be fluid; and use that to try different approaches to writing consistently and finding your muse. Most importantly... find a way to enjoy the work.
Wouldn't this strategy work?

See big sell order at getting executed at $10.30, $10.20, $10.10 at Exchange A. Short sell at $10.30 on Exchange B. When the big order comes, rebuy at $10.20.
Only if you're starting at zero. It doesn't magically let me afford my mortgage as a barista.

End of the day, it's sort of like social security for everyone. It may be a more equitable form of welfare, as men and intact families would be eligible.

IMO, resources would be better spent on housing subsidy, healthcare and publicly administered pensions.
If nothing else, it could just be to stop anyone else from patenting something similar then trying to use that patent against them.
Sure solo/self-paced can work for some people. I am not one of those people.

I spent a couple of months learning and working on projects in my free time. A consistent theme was getting stuck on a concept or bug and having no feedback to get past it. (Either, "give up, move on, come back to this later" or "oh, fix this one thing and its done".)

I guess, I could have made the transition without an immersive program, but I'm sure my outcome would have taken more time, had a lower starting salary, and eventually more cost money.

Retrospectively, there was $30k post-tax in opportunity cost of not working at a Mechanical Engineering job (bay area) for 6 months and the $22k tuition.
In business, the standard of conflict-of-interest is "Did You Disclose"? So LendingClub's CEO got in trouble for not disclosing the conflict of interest. Achieving financial benefit on the side wasn't the issue - lack of disclosure was.

This actually creates worse governance issues, because you can't trust that execs will do the right thing. You can only trust that they'll tell the board, who may have conflicts of their own.
The problem with education, and online education specially, is the disconnect between the effort required for learning and the rewards. The latter often are realized once a sufficient amount of skill has been developed, which takes quite some patience to get to.

If employers were to somehow collaborate with online course providers to create some kind of pipeline from unskilled-> skilled workers, that would be really amazing. I honestly wonder why more companies don't do that.
You're right. The microwave link was ~2 millis faster. Just misremembered. Sorry.

Increasing levels of automation certainly plays a part in the drive to explore solutions like UBI, but it's not the only consideration. On a broader level, the issues driving UBI are those related to social mobility and quality of life. Those issues would exist without the drive towards automation.

To explain what I mean, imagine you're working a low-skilled, low-paid job just to keep a roof over your head, with very few opportunities to retrain (both in terms of free time and money). In other words, you're working just to survive, and are not making the most of your time on Earth. UBI would give people in that situation an avenue to retrain, as well as making it harder for companies to keep wages low for undesirable jobs, they would have to better compensate people for giving up their time to do a job they otherwise wouldn't be interested in doing. None of these factors are directly derived from increased automation.

As for whether or not UBI will be a net benefit, the answer is not completely clear, but that's the reason small-scale experiments looking into UBI have been started.
This is where I'm confused about the benefits of UBI.

So, say that we institute UBI, and people no longer have to work. That increases the cost of labor - you can't attract a cashier for $9.30 an hour, so you have to pay $15 an hour or whatever.

This has to be passed right back to the consumer, so prices go up. Rent goes up as well - maintaining property takes labor as well. Now, the UBI is no longer sufficient to sustain a decent life, and the poor are right back to where they started.

Maybe you're misunderstanding the parent (or I'm misunderstanding you!). I believe the parent is saying that the genes which predispose somebody to being gay remain in the population, despite their seemingly zero reproductive fitness, because gay people face enormous pressure from their relatives to not be gay and reproduce. And they face this pressure because their family members have a genetic interest in the gay person's offspring and so have evolved to coerce gay family members into having children.
When a new UI framework comes out, my test is: "Can Adobe build the next version of Photoshop with this?".

WinForms and WPF failed the test because they can only be run from within .NET applications. I was hopefull for Direct2D, but D2D is only a drawing API, there are no native widgets. XAML with C++ is nice in Windows 10, but I understand your application must run in the sandbox (for better and for worse) and when you use Win10 XAML you cannot use any UI code that uses any of the old-world code (e.g. Photoshop plugins). I'm also concerned that XAML prevents you from getting lower-level control over hardware (e.g. Deep-color support, hosting low-latency OpenGL contexts, etc). The sandbox requirement itself kills it for a lot of applications anyway.

Today, if you're writing a C/C++ program for Windows that needs to display a native Windows checkbox on screen (i.e. the Common Controls library or the raw Checkbox window class), and you want to customise how that checkbox is rendered, then you're still stuck with GDI - the WM_Paint message gives you access to s GDI device context in RAM - so you have to jump through hoops to use it with another 2D library or widget toolkit. How do I get an opaque handle to the window's texture surface in VRAM for ultra-fast painting or low-level control?
It's definitely the uglier of the two views, no question. I prefer it functionality-wise though. It does less of its own window management, etc.

Are you saying front-running is not an HFT strategy? Because that is incorrect.

In equities markets, for trades of a sufficient size it's not possible to place the order all at once. You'll hammer the order book, and take very suboptimal pricing for the latest marginal shares you buy/sell. Therefore you have to split up the order into chunks.

HFT firms will try to detect when equities traders are doing this. e.g. If they see a pattern indicating that chunks of shares are being bought, they will try to buy, too. When the rest of the order comes through, the price will rise and that firm will make money. That's why "front-running" is just a special-case of an algorithm to predict price movements.

I seriously doubt that a HFT fund as large as Rennaissance uses a single strategy, be it satellite images, or front-running or what-have-you.
How do you get to the front of the line at either the $10.30 or $10.20 positions?

I agree its complex but I would rather free people up and suffer the consequences of larger costs than have a majority of the populace engage in rather meaningless activities. It should at least be given a shot, especially when we have the means - automation - to do it somewhat cheaply.
