He got some partial fills.

And he had a separate account that would trade the market distortion.

His big orders weren't the best bid or ask. They were a few orders deep in the market.

Basically people and machines would jump further in front of the big buy or sell order with their own orders, and move the price in a direction. His smaller account would make profits from those trades.

Yes you could affect trillions of dollars of derivatives and the sentiment of the entire market with just a few dozen millions.

It is still a widespread practice and tough to prove. But spoofing was made illegal in the Dodd Frank Act. So if the government can nail some easy cases and create case law, then they could think about going after the banks that do it. Emphasis on think.

Only this week, I decided to get serious about learning PowerShell. I had tried it before but didn’t really get hooked. This time, I persevered and was also lucky enough to stumble across PSReadLine and some of the other goodies listed at http://psget.net/directory/ So far, it’s the Readline emulation that has made the biggest impression. With it, PowerShell has become so much more pleasurable to use and it’s no longer annoying to switch between it and Bash on Cygwin.

Any GUI editor I've tried sooner or later comes down to editing CSS/ HTML via dialogs which is less efficient than editing text files and requires similar expertise. I'd rather know CSS / HTML than be an expert in my way around a certain GUI.

Front-end code structure matters a lot for maintainability and there is no standardization to account for that.

Autogenerated code is not great.

So, once I am done with basic UX prototyping on paper, I usually move to handcrafted code and fill in detail as I know/discover more, testing along the way.
Which part of "buy and hold" includes "sell when it goes down"?

Well, why don't you learn a concurrent language like Go, CUDA, or OpenCL and do something about that?

From my vantage point, I remain amazed that people have fled concurrent programming in an age where the hardware for doing so has not only thrived, but which may also be the only path forward from here.

Isn't the real problem that process shrinks have stopped giving performance gains? Broadwell halved the logic area of Haswell (see slide in article), but benchmarks showed improvements of only a few percent. Surely that stagnation can only get worse at 10 nm. If Intel actually saw a huge business case for 10 nm, my guess is they would have found a way by now.

You are right. This is why these things will not go anywhere. Ultimately they need some kind of "back up"... For example, the system we currently have flows like so: Nation state Military > Federal Police > Local Police > Physical Intimidation via face to face meeting. At every step, stop when lawyers and/or politicians get involved.

I think it could still be deemed a "compiler" even if it output the same language if it was doing some significant transformation or modification of it.

Snap Chat signs $1B deal with AWS
I agree that there is excess cost relative to a counterfactual where smaller/cheaper houses are legal. That's not what I'm disputing.

What I'm disputing is whether, overall, we are actually worse off. Fundamentally here's where I claim SA is wrong:

Imagine if tomorrow, the price of water dectupled. Suddenly people have to choose between drinking and washing dishes. Activists argue that taking a shower is a basic human right, and grumpy talk show hosts point out that in their day, parents taught their children not to waste water. A coalition promotes laws ensuring government-subsidized free water for poor families; a Fox News investigative report shows that some people receiving water on the government dime are taking long luxurious showers. Everyone gets really angry and there’s lots of talk about basic compassion and personal responsibility and whatever but all of this is secondary to why does water costs ten times what it used to?

But in reality, this is not an accurate analogy to the modern world. I'm claiming a better analogy would be this:

Imagine if tomorrow, the price of water dectupled. Furthermore, people's income and ability to purchase water remained flat. Yet somehow people started taking longer showers, drinking 10 glasses/day rather than 8, having greener lawns, and just generally staying very well hydrated.

In this latter scenario, I'd tell you that somewhere along the way you messed up. Water consumption = money spent on water / price per gallon - if water consumption went up, either the numerator increased or the denominator decreased.

If you think I'm wrong, tell me what we have less of.

Greed and ego.
Simple, job security. It would put lot of FrontEnd Coders out of work - not all, but many of them. So it is in everyone's best interest to keep coders coding, designers designing and have as little overlap as possible. Silos keeps the wheels turning.

So there has been a collective badmouthing about how WYSIWYG tools create a codular mess, and then they proceed to create similar codular mess by hand (pull this library, glue, pull that library, glue..etc). After Bootstrap, webdesign is dead. Every single website look the same. If not literally, then same blocks re-arranged (Hero Image, Sticky Nav, Round Profile Pictures, Contact Map, Footer).

I remember Dreamweaver in late 90s, it democratized webdesign, as a design student, I was able to pretty much draw and create as simple or complex I want. In 1998 Dreamweaver promoted "Roundtrip HTML" to quell the backlash - but dev sentiment killed a lot of momentum it had (They still badmouth it). Semantic Markup, Tables... unmaintainable, and then proceed to have the same convoluted polluted code. Was it perfect? NO... but it was not FrontPage or Word>HTML. It is 2017, and with the technologies available today, there should be multiple tools to cater to UX tooling.

For most designers, learning to code kills the spark of creativity, and puts you in a templatized mindset (Hero Image, Logo on top left etc).

Well i've run the email server that is now the second server for nearly half a year i think. Developing the site, creating tests and binding it to the email server maybe took 2-3 weeks. It is hard to tell because i had the landing page and backend developed shortly after the first test server was setup and then finished it much later within a little more than a week (i think, i tend to underestimate these things :).

To be fair: I've used my own Rails template which saved some time and i've reused a lot of code for stripe from a different project as well.

I wonder if there's any significance too this.
You're confusing cause and effect. There was a movement that posited semantic markup would be good, and we all (mostly) accepted it. CSS's technical shortcomings were very pronounced in the beginning and mostly abated soon after. Achieving the perfect 3-column layout was still hard, as was really centering something, but most other stuff wasn't that far out of reach.

Now there are new problems having to do with bloat, and of course many people use Bootstrap wrongly, but nobody is honestly suggesting you go back to table-driven layout. I'm saying, this is the philosophy that got us here. I'm not saying it works well or that most content is semantically tagged—it isn't.

Your concluding remarks also seem off-base to me. TeX to some extent and LaTeX to a much greater extent put a lot of emphasis on semantic markup. It's just locked up in TeX-land and hard to parse outside of it, so the utility is limited, but every edition of the TeXbook and Guide to LaTeX2e expends great effort encouraging you to introduce semantic macros into your documents so that changing the style does not require extensive rework, as it would a Word document without stylesheets. Even the old Nroff/Troff macros had semantic-ish macros you were supposed to use. And DocBook really could not be further in this direction, where all the styling happens in CSS or XSL, and you have tags like `<computeroutput>` and `<funcprototype>`. I don't see how semantic meaning is an imposition, and anyway, the document authors and the document readers are not the same people.
I tend to see programming languages/libraries/frameworks/whatever as a toolbox. It's better to have 3 tools and handle them well than to have 30 different tools and have little to no idea on how to use them.
This is OT but do others have this experience?

You're a pedestrian at an intersection and patiently waiting for the crosswalk signal to flash walk because you want to be safe and not jaywalk. As soon as it flashes walk, a "right turner" comes zooming in and proceeds to take their right. Either they abruptly stop when they finally notice me or they don't and just roll on through and I have to jump back on the sidewalk to avoid them. I try to intentionally wait in a position that is very visible to the right turners and it still happens.

I don't feel safe legally crossing the street. It sucks.

> basic income is actually just a continuation of the same inflationary alchemy

This comes up in every BI thread, and I can't wrap my head around it. All the sensible proposals seem geared so that if you have income from a job, most of the BI amount will be recouped from your taxes. So, for most people their purchasing power would go up only slightly or not at all.

Think about the extremes: if you make a comfortable income (say, at least 2x the median) your taxes should increase to recoup most or all of the BI subsidy, so your purchasing power doesn't change. If you choose to leave your job and live off the BI, your purchasing power goes down (drastically!) and you won't be in a position to inflate prices on much of anything.

At the other end, if your income is zero and you receive BI, your purchasing power goes up, but you still won't have a huge amount of money to throw around. And in the developed economies, at any rate, we suffer from over-production of basic needs stuff, so I don't think demand would exceed supply for basic things like flour, rice, toiletries, etc.

Analyzing the middle few percentiles of the income distribution is tougher, but for any scheme that increases taxes along with BI it's hard to see how it could possibly cause inflation to increase by more than a point or two.

> I don’t know why more people don’t just come out and say “LOOK, REALLY OUR MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT ALL THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS COST TEN TIMES AS MUCH AS THEY USED TO FOR NO REASON, PLUS THEY SEEM TO BE GOING DOWN IN QUALITY, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY, AND WE’RE MOSTLY JUST DESPERATELY FLAILING AROUND LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS HERE.” State that clearly, and a lot of political debates take on a different light.

Well, politicians don't get elected for saying "I don't know", especially when the competition says "It's simple, we stop doing X and start doing Y." I mean, they should get elected for saying they want to really understand the problem, so they can actually fix it, but that's not what the public likes to hear. :/
I don't think this is a major part of the equation. Most states have at least a six year textbook purchase cycle. Often they try to stretch it out even further than that.

Let's do a Fermi calculation:
6 subjects x 1 / 6 of a text book per year x 1.1 for lost or destroyed textbooks * $200 per book = $220 in textbooks per year per student.

For scale, Mississippi has the lowest average spending per pupil in the nation -- $8,130 as of two years ago.

Granted there's workbooks and software too, but if you look at the budget of a school district, the lion's share is going to district personnel not books or computers or electricity or anything else external.

Having the means to pay and needing the service for life or death reasons have nothing do with the forces that drive costs down, namely consumers bargain hunting for the lowest price service that offers adequate an level of quality. Neither being poor nor needing a service for a life-or-death reasons. will prevent consumer from bargain hunting. The factors are orthogonal to those that affect cost trends.

You're failing to see that mechanics behind the evolution of consumer markets that lead to prices being driven down. Combined with your rude and arrogant dismissal of the link, your attitude embodies everything that is wrong with our political system and that prevents solutions from being found and implemented.
When I was his age and doing similar things I felt the same way. I didn't understand how the university entrance game worked until it was too late because I was a poor first gen immigrant with no guidance or support. I thought I was going to be stuck washing dishes in the back of restaurants forever. Thankfully I finally got out of all that because I found people that actually valued my skills and would pay to take a chance on me, even though on paper I was probably not very attractive.

Encrypting your backup with a passphrase and making it public is a bad idea. It is not forward secure. Anyone can try to bruteforce it offline. You better use a keyfile and backup it somewhere else, such as your other computers, external drives etc. And even then, publishing your backup is a bad idea due to possible breakthroughs in cryptography. No crypto is secure forever, you better assume that it will be broken in the next 5-10 years.

I suspect a lot more marketing/co-marketing dollars go into the Surface from Microsoft than go into Chromebooks from Google and the device manufacturers.

My sense is that education is the only market where Chromebooks have been pushed at all aggressively. Like many things Google does, it's not clear that they have a really fleshed out strategy for the Chromebook.

They're also not really targeted for doing local development though people do use them in various somewhat unnatural ways.

Although they can't do everything I can do on my MacBook, they're often suitable for my needs when traveling and I appreciate the small size of the Asus Flip.
