Appreciate your point of view. First of all, there seems to be a lot of skepticism around this project and I found that surprising. You're saying that if you would get incredible returns from trading you would keep quiet. And therefore you are contradicting yourself by accusing my lack of transparency.

As I was invited to share my story on Indie Hackers, my goal was to provide as much insights into the project, without blowing up the advantage it gives me over a very niche market (NSE). I have absolutely no intention to 'advertise my freelancer business' or 'sell my tech', as someone mentioned. My goal was strictly to send an encouragement message to people thinking of/building something similar, by sharing as much as I can of my project. Faking stories online would be the last thing on my agenda and I find it somehow amusing that some people believe that.

PS: Having to cat a lot of text + csv files while developing this, it was much easier to alias my cat function to use csvtool on csv files and it's regular implementation on other files

PS2: The 'minimalist, ultra-stylish AWS window' is a quick app I cranked in a few hours to see the status of my instances. Not sure what's suspicious here. The window or the the fact that it's stylish?
Sad day :(

His story is inspirational.
You should try German comedy. English is too full of puns, so makes humour too easy.
You misunderstand. I wasn't asking what it's called. I was asking if the idea here is a Vulkan like API for the web.
This is a great move by Apple. Webkit team is thinking ahead about power of GPU's and opening it up for more than just 3D graphics. GPU are already being utilized for AI and ML. Web developers need better access to low level computation and simple api's.

> After all, you could win 9 out of 10 times but that 1 time is where you blow up.

In the article he discussed exactly this happening.

> I also question if it's really HFT, the bar is really high to get low latency connection but he's only making 3.5k/month...it just doesn't make sense.

Again, in the article he states that he abandoned his HFT approach.

Most of these negative comments seem to come from people involved in trading who didn't read the full article but are extrapolating based on their knowledge of finance.
The latest Safari release is actually ahead of the game in a lot of areas. I don't run it as my primary browser still, but it does look like at least someone within Apple cares.
The API looks like a direct port of Metal to JavaScript.
I remember meeting him in Algeria, where he gave a speak on various economic data of every country and the expected changes in the future with some focus on Africa, it was such an inspiring speech, he has a way to make the data come alive.
Hey. As we spoke about this earlier today, could you please post the original before the edits post our conversation?

edit: I rang the bloody alarm bells about this submission with you. I hope I am wrong, but it looks like you have been had.
This is intended to be WebVulkan|WebDX12|WebMetal with room for other possible underlying implementations.

In general, Vulkan was not designed with the web in mind. For example: Vulkan's design intentionally has a whole lot of undefined behavior. Instead of strictly specifying what happens in all possible accidental cases, they strictly specify what is defined and provide debug layers that help you identify during development when you are unknowingly stepping into bizarro land.

Also, I expect Vulkan was designed with the expectation of process-level isolation being the end-all of security concerns. That's not sufficient for single-process, multi-tab browsers.
This is why I would never store any substantial amount of bitcoin on ANY online service, no matter how good their reputation for security.

If the amount is above say, $500 or so, it should be stored in something like a Trezor, where only you have the keys to access it.
Already provide one example, but another might be that all parties that might be on an audio recording must agree to be recorded prior to the recording being made.
I flagged it because, as great as some of the Dilbert cartoons are, Scott Adams is an unreliable narrator.

I answered that in the second statement.
Found the story for you, conveniently dated today and published by AP so you don't have to wonder if it's fake news.

"Also on Tuesday, Twitter said it's creating a "safe search" feature that removes tweets with potentially sensitive content and tweets from blocked and muted accounts from search results. The tweets will still exist on Twitter if people look for them, but won't appear in general search results.

Twitter is also making some replies less visible so only the most relevant conversations surface."

This is exactly what Scott Adams and commenters above complained about, and what others doubted or dismissed as technical glitches. Turns out it's not a technical problem, it's policy.

Sure, Twitter has the right to do it. But please don't dismiss the serious questions about whether they ought to do it and expect me to take you seriously. To my knowledge, unlike the tweets of Islamic terrorists that caused some of their accounts to be deleted, there has been no violence associated with the speech of the "alt-right". There has been violence on the "antifa" side with associated tweets, but there is no mention in the article of any of those accounts being shut down.

Biggest questions I have are:

1. What is the (proposed) backward compatibility across devices?

2.Given that it is structured for Metal shaders, what are the plans for other, non-apple devices? I see the hat tip to D3D and Vulkan, but I assume they need to get on board first - any early takers? After all common standard means cross-platform hardware support, something Apple has never really embraced.
> like a WebVulkan

Yes, it's like a Vulkan for the web since it's a competing standard.
Does NTP Foundation compete against the ICEI that Raymond mentions?
Developers tend to be intelligent.
It is higher level than Vulkan as you don't need to allocate or manage GPU memory, the implementation handles that for you. You also don't need to worry about transitioning render surfaces between different states (D3D12 and Vulkan).

It does allow you to create pipeline state objects ahead of time like Vulkan and D3D12 but they only include a subset of state (shader + antialiasing state + color/depth attachment state). The rest of the state is set when recording the command buffer.
Probably Amazon.com. For one, because I don't want to move to Seattle. And also their reputation for being fairly worker hostile.
We use Yodlee for Odoo Accounting: https://www.odoo.com

It's a crappy service, but the only one that support a wide range of banks in different countries:
- costs a lot: we pay around $20,000 / year
- we have a lot of support tickets from users who can't connect to their bank. We usually forward the issue to Yodlee and they fix it within a few days.

They scrap bank websites, but their algorithms do not seem very robusts. If the bank change a little detail in their UI, it breaks Yodlee's connector. Sometimes, the bank interface depends on user preferences (e.g. language, business/personal account), so the user has to configure his preferences before succeeding to sync Yodlee.

As an example; they have a PayPal interface too. Initially we thought of using them to connect to PayPal, but we noticed they scrapped the Paypal website too, instead of using their API. So, we had issues with some users who did not have a Paypal business account

Unfortunatelly, it's the only solution that supports a wide range of banks (~24,000 banks), so we are still using it. (for U.S. users, we use Plaid that is more reliable but support less banks)
Proof Without Words: Alternating Sums of Odd Numbers
Thanks for the comment, I'll check this out, though my guess is that it's only FF that supports it.
This is very well done. All museums should do this.
Then why did you include a picture of the submission in that tweet?

Also you ignored the first picture which clearly shows your account.
French Presidential Candidate Attends Rally as Hologram
Yeah,what is wrong with WebGL anyway? It seems to work pretty well.
I would argue that not just anyone can be a troll. Or at least, an effective one. As disgusting as the words sound, there is an art to hurting people, and most trolls are downright comic.
He's not wrong, backtesting really is not the same as testing on real live data. You are fitting your models on data that has already been done, without any of the risks factored in. Even if you do find a system that picks every ups and downs in the backtest, it will do poorly with live trades because the volatility and risk is something that changes based on fundamental data.

However, in this case, the fact that no backtest or any sort of risk/reward ratios were published suggests high level of skepticism.

tl;dr: past prices can't predict future prices.

I love the suggestion for new users to try minikube. I got started with minikube and kubernetes recently and it was only then when I had an aha moment with containers. I get it now. I know containers have been around a while but with kubernetes the orchestration difficulty has been lowered to the point where I can't imagine going back to the way I was getting things working before. From minikube I moved to kubernetes on GCE, and it mostly just worked. I still use minikube for my local dev environment.
Sure, they were additions rather than edits:

Addition #1: "For proprietary reasons I will abstain from publicly discussing a lot of details about the technical implementation. Although I get many requests to open-source the project, I believe that disclosing deep details of the models or prediction approach would hurt the advantages that this solutions has over the other existing bots. However, for anyone willing to learn more about that, I would be more than happy to discuss in private, to some extent."

Addition #2: "...worked around 95% of the time. Now this is not by any means a reliable metric, and there are many factors that affect it. The bot has not been tested enough to guarantee that this isn't just a fluke (it might as well be). Large investment management companies would do anything to achieve those statistics, and I'm sure I won't keep up that amount of success in upcoming trades. The success so far was also greatly impacted by the favorable market conditions, chosen stocks, and the fact that the bot was running intermittently."

Addition #3: "For trading I recommend Kite, mainly for their stable Connect APIs and the low bandwidth. Their limitation is 3 requests per second, and this was more than enough for my new strategy. Getting solid historical financial data isn't cheap, and with so many people hitting the providers to scrape and download data, I don't blame them for limiting the offered information. Intrinio is a good provider for real-time stock quotes at very inexpensive prices. However, getting access to more in-depth data would always yield better results."
Of course, macOS and Windows 10 both still give you the option of creating user accounts independent of an Apple ID or MS account, which is what I do on my macOS and Windows 10 systems.

But there's good reason these OSes tie local logins to online accounts. The average user is more likely to get frustrated forgetting or not understanding why their email password is not their login password, than the (comparatively) rare scenario that someone will compromise the one-account-to-rule-them-all and wreck all their data. My grandmother confuses her Gmail login with every other online account because they all use the email address as a username.

Also, I'm continually amazed how little normal people care about the data on their computers. I still have all my files from when I was 5 years old on my main machine, but most people only care about bringing over whatever they're currently working on when they get a new machine.
This is logically false -- it implies that no action, even deliberately undertaken can be called trolling -- which is just a ridiculous fluff claim. It's akin to saying "you can't talk about beauty because it doesn't exist".

At the very least, we can objectively define trolling when both the poster and at least one responder think a post is trolling. Reality actually allows far less strict definitions and there is nothing at all that prevents real empirical analysis to be performed on those concepts.

Your narrow logic is without merit and carries no ability to advance any communication on the topic at all.
Also there is http://pytorch.org - that what started as a fork from Chainer. On a high level it is build for the same purpose - to support dynamic graphs.
Related, but not directly to the article:

This post [1] from Kraken covers how to protect yourself from this kind of attack. It's quite thorough. Interesting even if this isn't a concern for you directly.

Post your current and historic positions, opened and closed and people might believe you. Currently you have offered absolutely no proof of your claims and the interview suggests you are extremely naive of trading.
I agree, but it's worse than that, with SMS widely used for account recovery.

> But 2FA via SMS is ubiquitous because of its ease of use. “Not everyone is running around with a smartphone. Some people still have dumb phones,” says Android security researcher Jon Sawyer. “If Google cut off 2FA via SMS, then everybody with a dumb phone would have no two-factor at all. So what’s worse — no two-factor or two-factor that is getting hacked?”

The thing is, SMS is worse than a reasonably good password. So it's a bit annoying that Google strongly encourages me to register my phone number with my gmail account for recovery.

And many services, including Google, make it difficult or impossible to enable TOTP without first registering a phone number. They really really push the SMS route. Brings up the average security level for the average person, I'm sure. Very annoying for me.
Firstly I'd like not to attack any party in paticular, all have done bad things in the past years.

Life seems easy when you are young and educated but for old people it is hard to keep up with the pace of technology, even if they are educated. The abrupt transition to capitalism didn't help either. This is a common issue in many countries, not just ex-communist ones. Old people need a safety net and Romania has it broken.
When will people realize that increased productivity is what makes society better to live in and not jobs. If all you needed were jobs then every country in the world would have no excuse for low living standards - they'd just need to get people a job doing anything, picking crops, whatever. [1]

We created Phaxio several years ago because the project we were working on needed a fax API and the options at the time were all terrible.

I don't personally send lots of faxes but businesses send millions of them and it's a crucial part of their workflow.

You could instill the will for universal healthcare.

A website where you upload your medical bills and it compares the costs to costs in other countries (UK, Canada and Australia for example).

The main problem with the attitude in the US seems to be that not only do people not want to pay for other peoples healthcare but they also don't want other people paying for their own healthcare. By comparing both the individual and taxpayers costs across other countries people will see that not only do they pay less, but so does the taxpayer.
There's a third possibility, which is that people are rationally aware that the cost of preserving privacy on the individual level significantly outweighs the benefits most of the time (rather like not buying insurance), and that in any case the technological, economic, and political asymmetries between individual and corporate/governmental actors are so huge that it's pointless anyway.

I use Tor some of the time. I would like to use Tor all the time for everything, but the reality is that using Tor is slow as mud so for 98% of my browsing activities I use Chrome, even though I know I'm giving away a lot of information about myself in the process.

Likewise, I live in a house. I can lock the doors and windows, but the reality is that any determined individual or group could easily kick in the door and enter the house. Do I spend a fortune rebuilding and reinforcing the structure so that I can have a front door like a bank vault, or do I invest a bit of money in simpler security options and cultivate good relationships with my neighbors?

It's not that people don't care about privacy (though not everyone does), but that subconsciously most people realize they can't possibly win an arms race and so opt for greater quality of life at the expense of security.

Easy $5k if it does what you claim and would settle the dispute. You can just feed them trades w/o revealing the actual algo.
Generally, the way it works is like this, a new technology comes around and every one in that generation that had that career is out of a job in that industry.

So a whole generation loses a job. Most of them don't get new jobs.

Their kids learn new vocations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-loom_riots

Happened in the textile industry. In New England, Portuguese immigrants lost their jobs building cloths to more efficient machines and outsourcing, their kids became lawyers and doctors.

This will most likely happen in today's computerized automation wave.

One generation gets screwed but their children adapt to new opportunities.
Yes, but that doesn't mean nationalization/socialization of the health care industry a la NHS is a good solution. It's clear to anyone who is not a political religionist that the U.S. health system is FUBAR'd, both before and after Obamacare, and that it needs to be fixed. However, we can't seem to hold a productive discussion on this, as one extreme virulently insists all medical care must be completely free at the point of sale (see other commenter above), which leaves no option except government payment, and the other extreme virulently insists that American medicine is fine as it was pre-Obamacare. There's practically no one in the middle who a) recognizes there's a problem and b) has a good suggestion that addresses the core causes of the problem instead of trying to cover the cost up by pouring government funds into it.

No one is going after the industrial profiteers and exploiters here. People either want to leave those profiteers completely alone or force them to continue to be paid exorbitant rates by the government (that only look non-exorbitant by comparison to other nations where they're even higher). Those are both bad answers! The marketplace must be kickstarted so it can stay in the hands of the people, surrendered to neither government bureaucrats (as proposed by pro-universal healthcare advocates) nor heartless capitalists (as is mostly the current state).

We need to start from first principles here and say "What does a sick person need to get better, and how can we provide that in a cost-efficient way that allows medicine to be like all the rest of our industries: open to competition, appropriately regulated, and run by fair and competitive private enterprises?"
My favorite is "They said there would be cake."

After I posted, I did some searching, and it appears like something could be made using SOLR or Elasticsearch. Both seem to have methods/plugins for filesystem indexing and document importing/analysis, as well as easy interfaces to allow for any language to be used for development. Combining all of that, plus some dev work and such a search appliance looks doable for a home system, using only a single node.

For the hardware, I figure I could potentially use some old stuff I have (thinking like a Core2 Quad with 16gb RAM and a large hard drive would be fine). I could probably stuff it into an old half-depth 1u server case. The problem now is finding the time to build it...
man I really got a new perspective on Gabe. Blatantly deceiving the German guy to cause tremendous harm to his life by colluding with the Gestapo even when Half Life 2 was a tremendous success and none of his precious monies were lost in the process, in fact the leak only raised the profile for Half Life 2 resulting in more sales.

I definitely won't be buying Half Life 3.

TIL Gabe Newell is actually very narrow minded and not a nice guy. Hacking and leaking is also bad but it's not clear that the action led to losses when Half Life 2 was a phenomenal success. It's the deceptive tactic of pretending to offer an olive branch and going back on your word. He should be fucking ashamed of himself.
>Trolling, to me, just aggravates the actual problem: deep socioeconomic/racial/sexual inequities.

Trolling needn't have anything to do with any of those subjects.

It has, however, become associated with them, as trolling is inherently anti-PC.
