Note that I'm not saying that market maker profit is correlated to the performance of the wider stock market, just pointing out that market maker performance can and will be affected by market-related factors that can cause all their market bets to go wrong at the same time, so the actual risk of losing money will always be much greater than what just naively applying the LLN says.

Here's a couple of plausible factors:

1. A flash crash is just a huge coin flip -- even if your market making firm has circuit breakers that stop it from making more trades (and successfully kept its position small), if the exchange ends up ripping up trades en masse you may suddenly have a large position that loses you a lot of money

2. Someone screws up an algo [1] and you burn through more than your entire market cap in half an hour

Well put! I like how you Incorporated trade-offs into this comment. Yes, you can have X, but something will have to give. Sleep, time with friends, alone time, time with spouse, learning time, etc... There's only so much time to go around, and it's amazing how the arrival of each kid diminishes your available time further and further. With three little ones now it seems virtually impossible to keep up with everything we got done when we had only two. There are days I do nothing but kid stuff: feeding, cleaning up after, playing with, wiping butts, vacuuming, cooking, dishes, blah blah blah. I don't know how dual-earner households do it. My wife is a stay-at-home Mom, and even so we're both maxed out.
So basically there is some policy like "Throw the lunch into the trash" despite it being paid for by school?
i.e. school pays for lunch, but denies it to student and throws it into trash. Its some deranged enforcement of artificial scarcity(like food being destroyed by farmers to prop up high prices, below article).

Monetizing open source and free code will cause immense ill-will from developers and users, which would cost more reputation loss than just asking for hardware.
The real question is why would you want to waste payload capacity hauling an aeroplane into orbit.

Skylon uses that extra efficiency to haul extra components into space. Such as the wings, landing gear etc. Based on the rocket equation it will only have usable payload if the mass of the craft can be kept very low. This would require lots of new technology and materials. Even with a better engine that would be very difficult.

The thing is that all that new technology could also be used by Spacex to improve a conventional rocket. And without the extra mass you would have have much higher payload. And the payload could be used by customers and not wasted on wings.

The best way to use new engine is probably to strap it onto a conventional rocket. Less complex and more payload. And maybe that extra payload could allow second stage reuse. That would make things even more competitive.

To be fair, the "Samsung BS" was them trying to setup a separate ecosystem that was just as good in case they needed to break from Google. I really hope Samsung does this at some point too.

IT friends tell me that Office 365 and hosted Exchange are selling like hotcakes. Also remember (faintly) reading at one point that MS made more money off a copy of Android than Google from patent royalties.

I had to crack open some .NET code recently, and I am completely baffled why anyone would choose that platform for just about anything in 2017.

I guess as long as MS can find another vein they can sink the needle into, what happens to Windows is purely academic.
Your points are valid, but not entirely correct IMO. What you are describing as abuse is "quote stuffing". Sending in buy or sell orders to move the market with no intention of fulfilling said orders. When I worked for an exchange operator we routinely reported this type of abuse to the SEC. It' difficult to discern the difference between a fast moving market maker (and many successful HFT firms are indeed market makers) and simple re-positioning of the spread because of shot term volatility. Your "evil" HFT firms may be abusing the system by cancelling an order placed a millisecond prior, but they don't make any money if a trade does not occur. Quote stuffing without a trade on the modified price does not produce a profit. Manipulating the market in this way is not a fool-proof way of making money - there still has to be a minimal position taken by the trading firm in order to realize a profit.

https://oasisdex.com/ is a decentralized OTC exchange for Ethereum tokens that has been successfully running for a year on Ethereum(without getting hacked!) No fees for transactions other than gas costs.

I know you can do it on Bitcoin too, but has anyone done it? It took a team less than 2 months to build this OTC market on Ethereum.

Bitcoin can do one type of money with extremely rigid parameters that is volatile and not efficient for payment transfers. Ether is similar but at least has lower transaction costs, but Ethereum is well on it's way to host a hundred other types of money by the end of 2017.

We see credential stuffing quite a lot, with attacks varying from the blatantly obvious (1000s of requests in a minute, to the login page, from the same IP, with a scripting UserAgent like python-requests) to highly distributed attacks across 100s of IPs with a random but current useragent.
While some malicious folk do this all manually and write their own scripts, tools like those mentioned in Troy's post are pretty common. One mentioned that I'd like to call out is SentryMBA - this tool is easily adapted to any business via a shareable config, written by anyway. Want to know if your service is probably affected or targeted? Google "Sentry MBA" + your businesses name. There are trading forums for these configs, and they range from banks and big businesses, to CRMs and utility services.

SentryMBA also has the ability to scare certain information on a successful login, helping to identify those key accounts that'll earn you more on the black market, such as recent successful orders on Amazon, or a high number of points on Starbucks accounts.

If you've got a business with an online login page, it's well worth checking the logs these types of attacks, to see if any of your users or even employees need to have their passwords reset after being successfully popped from a credential stuffing attack.

Why is the Uber board allowing their CEO to continue to make sketchy ethical decisions? You would think they would ask Travis Kalanick to fall on his sword so the company can reboot and perhaps rebrand it's image so it would seem less "sinister" towards regulation, it's drivers and the law.

In Australia, we provide lunches for our kids to take to school with them. Most schools have a 'tuckshop' where kids can buy treats (icecream, chips) by paying cash on the spot, or parents can order and pay for meals (typically online) beforehand. But that's usually on occasion as a treat and not a regular, daily, lunch provision.

> which would adhere to the standards routinely required in medical and epidemiological studies?

For a long time, medical studies could change the topic of the study after the study has been completed (i.e. study was initially done to prove effectiveness for one thing, but it was discovered that it was not effective for this thing, but for another, and happened to not kill anyone, so the study was now for the other thing), so I would definitely not use the field of medicine as a example of unbiased studies.

This makes a ton of sense. Oculus's biggest leverage is in improving the platform, not creating content. If anything, that money would be better spent on directly funding other studios.
Just give up.

If the day were shorter, students could make it through the day without eating. The loss of hours can be partially compensated by changing the school year from 180 days to 240 days. The time would be better-used because long hours make people tired of thinking, and because long vacations cause students to forget. (the long summer sets students back by at least a month) Shorter days would even save money on buildings, because there could be an extra shift, with students going to school at different times.

Lunch causes huge logistics problems for schools. People all want to eat at the same time. That means the facility has to accommodate a large portion of the school. The better schools might pay for a cafeteria that holds everybody, which is wasteful. The crummy schools will have 4 or more shifts, meaning that some people eat "lunch" soon after they arrive and others eat it right before they go home. There usually isn't much time to eat; it can be 20 minutes for a fast-growing teen or inefficient first grader.

You'll never get people to agree on a tolerable lunch. Some people won't eat this, and some people won't eat that, and spending the money to deliver a decent experience is just not going to happen, and all of that conflicts with obsolete-when-written nutritional mandates.

Nobody is washing hands. If they were, they wouldn't be able to keep their hands clean due to doorknobs and chairs and so on. Disease spreads during lunch; this causes real harm. Nobody is brushing teeth, but some students have braces.

Enough is enough. School lunch is a disaster and we aren't going to fix it. We should just admit that.
Teaching non-coders to code is not going to produce productive engineers except in the most unusual circumstances. You're introducing people to concepts like a terminal, a file system, source code, a text editor, variables, subroutines, debugging...

After a few weeks, they understand more about what it's like to craft instructions for an incredibly powerful but incredibly stupid machine. That doesn't understand what you want it to do and always takes you literally.

After that experience, they understand the rhythm and routines of engineering more intuitively and are better prepared to collaborate effiiciently with engineers.

The thing about machine learning is that, unlike with robotics RPA, new graduates in the field are so much better than anyone else.

I'm in the public sector in a Scandinavian country mind you, so it's not like AI experts are lining up. We tried retraining, didn't work. Then we tried retraining some more, this time with outside consultants, didn't really work out either. So we hired a new graduate who had specialized in tensorflow during his degree, who (obviously?) blew our small progress away.

Now this is anecdotal, but being the public sector we share experience openly with each other, and I'm hearing the exact same story from every other muniplicity in our network.

It's not risky to say. It's risky to do a shallow critique with no solid analysis. I would personally enjoy hearing a critique of why npm is bad in comparison to other package managers.

As someone who has spent a lot of time with npm (not even as a webdev), it appears to solve all of my common use cases while also dealing impressively well with various versions of specific dependencies. (Like, A depends on B@0.0.1, C depends on B@0.0.2, etc.)

> Banks get paid far less interchange rates for Chip & PIN than they do signature.

This only applies if the PIN is being used for debit. I have two credit cards[0] that are issued by US-based financial institutions and, when the chip reader is equipped to do so, result in a prompt for a PIN when used. The interchange rate is as a normal credit card.

The bigger issue, as has been explained to me by two people I know who work in payment tech, is that credit card issuers in the States are utterly panicked by the idea of doing anything that might result in even a small fraction of a percent of their cardholders switching to another card. PINs are seen as inducing friction or a previously-unknown step into the payment process (since US customers have been conditioned for 20 years to "enter a PIN for debit" and "sign for credit"). To now change to PIN-primary cards would result in confused customers, higher support costs, and plenty of customers switching either to another credit card or to (the horrors) another payment method entirely, like cash. So the theory goes, anyway. Therefore, US banks are loathe to introduce cards that can be verified by PIN at all, much less ones that are primarily verified by PIN.

0 - They are not debit cards with VISA or MasterCard logos; they are actual credit cards accessing a line of credit. One comes from the State Department Federal Credit Union and the other from First Tech Federal Credit Union.

Satyajit Ray was a master storyteller. In the same league as Kurusova or Miyazaki.

His stories seemed simple and yet had some unknown power that gripped your heart. I remembering crying the first time I saw the Pather Panchali trilogy as a kid. I never understood why.

Some little know facts about Ray :

1. His first movie Pather Panchali (Song of the Road) faced financial issues. A good friend of Ray convinced the Communist Chief Minister of his state to provide some funding. Upon learning the name of the movie the Minister (who was art blind) asked the Public Works Department (Road construction department) to finance it. (because there is a Road in the name)

2. The Chief minister was furious to see the ending. He demanded the ending should be changed and they must show that the family finally gets benefited from a communist government scheme where they get free house and everything. Ray however flat out refused.

3. Satyajit ray penned down Feluda who is Indian Sherlock Holmes told from the perspective of his teenage sidekick. Feluda movies were utterly brilliant.

4. Satyajit Ray also wrote a number of science fiction stories. He would easily feature among the top 5 Sci-Fi writers from India any day.

5. Though India has such a vibrant movie industry called Bollywood, Satyajit Ray never became mainstream. A lot of his contemporaries hated him for unknown reasons and one even called his movies "poverty porn".

6. Ray introduced some great actors to the world. From Sharmila Tagore to

Western movie makes very often make poverty porn movies about India, the best example being Slumdog Millionaire. Here is a wonderful comparison of Boyle and Ray.
