> Kickbacks to brokers that are sending out retail flow allow those brokers to reduce commissions on trading. These reductions have gone all the way to zero in a lot of places.

I think you are wrong here. Most consumer orders are active meaning typically the broker would pay the maker fee instead of collecting a kick back. I mean, inverted exchanges are a thing but do very little volume.

Now pay for order flwo from wholesalers like Citadel is a big win for brokerages and does help to reduce trading fees.

Yeah, personally I find it in poor taste on the part of Crossfit to promote icons like Rhabdo the Clown. Granted, it's not official, but official enough for a decent looking cartoon mascot to exist

They're raising awareness on a very serious problem, sure, but doing so by portraying people who get injured in their classes as clowns.

To some degree the instructor is at fault here. After all, the point of Crossfit is to get people into shape through very hard exercise. It's the instructor's job to push people while somehow making sure that they don't push people past an invisible line that exists in different locations for different people.

I'm not saying the instructors are bad or irresponsible people, merely that they have very strange and very hard jobs. Arguably even Crossfit isn't bad, it's merely a symptom of the root cause. We're too busy and too undisciplined to get into shape with a proper diet and sensible exercise spread throughout the day, so we let "professionals" yell us into shape into a short yet intense time window.

And two of the fruits of this insanity are higher numbers of the population disabled by Rhabdo and this strange cartoon clown hooked up to a dialysis machine.
Thanks Greg! That is well understood and fine by me. I just don't want to see Red's doc to end up like Rebol's. Honestly, it is probably a non-trivial factor for why it never took off.
This solves fewer problems than you might think.

1) Let's say that trades are resolved at time X. Participants have every incentive to submit all bids/asks as close to time X as possible (microseconds possibly).

2) How do you handle a mismatched number of bids/asks at a given price? Resolving this difficulty without creating bigger problems than the problem you were trying to eliminate is challenging.

3) I'm just a regular guy who wants to buy $1000 of stock as part of my monthly savings plan. With an up to date market I can just buy and sell at the market price and not worry about it. But now I have to be afraid that there has been some big news event in the past hour that will make this hours price much different than last hours. One of the biggest services markets provide is up to date pricing information. Why do you want to take that away from me?
It's either same speed or slower. I once wrote a commend line delete tool with Win32 and threading. That was quite a bit faster than the built in delete commend.

The results don't look very complete seeing as how attic was abandoned over two years ago. The master attic branch[0] has 600 commits. The fork of attic, borg, has over 4000 commits [1] suggesting a significant amount of work has been done to improve it.

It seems odd for the author to compare it to something abandoned (and thankfully reborn as borg) and ignore what has happened in two years.

Would love to see similar tests run against borg.

Some of the underlying data here [1] on the effective spreads of the various market centers. Bats also publishes the definitions of these metrics [2]. They seem to be difficult to game, since they're derived from actually executed trades compared to the midpoint NBBO (that is, the national best bid/offer -- by definition, at that time, cheaper than any exchange to buy, and more expensive than any exchange to sell).

The low volume numbers make it slightly more difficult to determine significance, but the effect does appear to be real, which I found slightly surprising.

My post and your post seem to agree on all the points you just made:)
Linkedin isn't optimized as a physical resume.

If all of the important information doesn't fit on one page, in a way that is nicely organized and looks good, then it is not a resume.

Nobody should ever print out their linkedin profile and then hand it to a recruiter.
That's fair enough.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I guess I figured admitting I was scared on a regular basis, and wondering whether doing this might kill me would be considered somewhat a lament.

But of course I think I'm doing the right thing – after all, I've put everything I have into it. If I felt like I had a choice, I'd probably do something differently.
I'm not sure that's true. One of the examples has a tech working at the top of a wind turbine. Maybe he's supposed to bring up a backup battery pack?

Understandable, and agreed about my point being for copyright as opposed to patents. It's interesting to note that, since the majority of DOM rendering libraries now employ some variant of Virtual DOM (react, preact, mithril, glimmer/ember, angular, even polymer!), a patent claim covering the concept of Virtual DOM itself would likely be invalid - the presence of so many prior and contemporary implementations of that paradigm make would invalidate it on the grounds that it cannot be "Non-obvious" or "non-novel". My knowledge of this stuff is largely gleaned from Wikipedia and thus not to be trusted, but it seems like there would be little grounds for a patent suit over VDOM. Also interesting to note: there are few (if any?) other companies directly associated with any of the other VDOM implementations - can a patent claim even be made against an Open Source project?
I've never understood why they insist on having the device be visually asymmetric. Just put a piece of plastic on the other side that is non-functional, and the "cyborg effect" basically goes away. The human brain hates asymmetric faces. Such a stupid oversight, may have been enough to save the consumer effort if they did this from the get-go.
Difficult to change yes, but you are not obligated or physically forced to stay with any one country.

I think one big issue is that people who are new to an exercise (or exercise at all) don't have a sense of scale, and don't realize quite how much progress they'll make early on.

If you know some people can run marathons, it doesn't sound crazy to think "well, I ought to be able to run for 10 minutes without any problems", but there are a lot of people who would risk seriously injuring themselves with 10 minutes of quick-pace running. Not to the point of rhabdo, probably, but certainly not a healthy experience.

It also doesn't sound crazy to think "Well, I'm in agony after two minutes, but there's no way that means I should stop. I'll never get anywhere with only two minutes of running!" But of course, 'beginner gains' are distinctive - someone who hasn't done cardio in years might be at two minutes today and six minutes next week.

The only universal answer I know to solve this is to take your first few outings in a new thing lightly. Don't even set a training plan, just go out until you're a bit uncomfortable, then stop and see how you feel the next day.
The French Republican calendar is covered by the Revolutions podcast, from Mike Duncan who did the History of Rome podcast. http://www.revolutionspodcast.com/

Much like the metric system, the structure of the new calendar was quite simple and elegant. Naturally, once the Reign of Terror came into full swing, the creators of the Republican calendar were executed along with anyone else who was insufficiently zealous. Today, the only people who use it are students of the French Revolution who have to decipher all these crazy dates.
But there are dozens of other misfeatures in...

Basically applies to most mature widely used languages that have evolved by adding features. In many software projects, the bias is on the side of adding too many features and not accounting for the costs, to the point where someone feels a bit of pain and complains. In Go, the bias is in not having enough, to the point where someone feels a bit of pain and complains.

I'd bet that more language designers are going to opt for the 2nd strategy as we go forward in the 21st century.
Even though the languages may seem quite similar, the cultures of the two communities and how software tends to be written in each language is vastly different in my experience.
I don't think any credible vulnerability researcher would conclude any of those companies' software vulnerabilities were back doors. If you know of one, please let me know.

All of these companies write software in languages that require the programmer to track memory management and bound their own copies. The probability that software written in languages like that will generate a memory corruption vulnerability is extremely high.

I personally prefer "creeping towards the right direction" to Sessions style doubling down, but I agree that this isn't a black-and-white "one side bad other side good" situation.

Definitely, neither party (at the national level in particular) has been doing what most policy wonks I've read would believe is the correct thing... and I've been reading for decades how America's criminal justice policies (from its high prison rate to horrible policies like civil asset forfeiture) are often ineffective, expensive, and prone to corruption.

Unfortunately, Americans historically has rewarded "tough on crime" stances at the ballot box, definitely in the 1980s and 1990s from what I remember. That probably honestly is the root cause. Even today, a majority of Americans still generally want to be "tough" on violent criminals, even if "tough" might be ineffective. (https://www.vox.com/2016/9/7/12814504/mass-incarceration-pol...) The good news is that Americans are changing their views on non-violent drug offenders -- there's some agreement that locking them up may not be the best thing.

For this particular issue, there pretty much is bipartisan agreement that civil asset forfeiture is horrible. (https://www.cato.org/blog/84-americans-oppose-civil-asset-fo...).

I've heard of some states partially reforming civil asset forfeiture recently -- as it seems typical in politics these days, a hodgepodge of states, led by neither one party or the other (often the reform bills are with bipartisan support), lead the way.

Marathons aren't high intensity workouts. A 20 minute tempo run would be a good example. (I guess it's similar to a 30 minute spinning class.)

The thing is - and Peter Thiel actually makes a good point about this in Zero To One, when it comes to monopoly's - a monopoly is healthy as long as it invests into technology development, because they have the financial muscle to do it.

This kind of development is a vertical leap? I don't see it like such... just like I don't see it when Amazon brings their branded products to category's that are doing well.

I don't say Google, Amazon, don't invest in proper tech development - but this kind of development is just to establish themselves deeply at the cost of their user base.

I feel split in this subject honestly - on one side, why can't they leverage something of their own? On the other hand, that's when things start to get shady.
I thought that Remix was a doomed product the first time I'd laid eyes on it. We have seen similar attempts from other manufacturers in the past, be that Motorola's webtop, the mini apps lumped into several OEM ROMs that emulate floating windows or the third party app packages that do the same thing.

At the end of the day, Google is the only one who can viably create new modes of interaction and the new API's to support it.

OEM's can throw their own garbage together but they will typically only ever push it on a single flagship device or some quirky variant with this feature differentiating it from the horde of other models they vomit out in the space of a year. You will get the paltry in-built apps to use and perhaps the apps of one or two sponsored partners, the development community at large will not bother using the feature because they would be targeting such a tiny fraction of their users.

Android OEM's should be purely hardware companies, focusing on hardware gimmicks alone, leave the software to those who can do it properly. It's not dissimilar from ISP's gagging to be anything but a dumb pipe, inserting themselves between you and your media. It's very unwelcome.

Woah - just for your information, there is no credential sharing required here.
Every block hash has a target it is trying to be under. For example, if the target is "0000008dab3", then when you are hashing your block, you need to come up with a hash that is below that number. When the network's hash rate goes up, people are producing hashes quicker so a hash is found below that target well below 10 minutes (what the network tries to average around). If hashes are found in less than 10 minutes for too long, then the target gets lowered even further, say to "00000000ab3" to require everyone to produce more hashes so it takes longer.

Now to actually answer your question: if you take 2 bitcoin blockchains that stem from the same origin block, but blockchainA has 20 blocks with a very easy target "fffffffdab3" and blockchainB has 1 block with a very difficult target "00000000003", then blockchainB has actually done more work than blockchainA, even though it has less blocks (it is "shorter"). So blockchainB has the most cumulative proof of work.

Or just standards at all.

I'm sorry but when you read lines like this:

> if ((i = (r - j) & m) >= 0 && i < n && (q = ws[i]) != null)
{}

with 6 single character long variable names and 1 two character long variable name, there is something to be said about code quality.

And this is a rule that is true across programming languages.

This is a typical example of written once / never modified or single maintainer code and it's a bad practice, especially for open source projects.
Very funny and a great writing style.
The typical use case for Spectacles, at least as I see it, is a little different though. Spectacles is much more like a Go Pro, in that I will be out doing some kind of activity I want to share with friends. People also typically don't wear sunglasses indoors, my expectation of privacy is very different outdoors vs indoors.

The approach with Google Glass was very different, where Google were arguably prototyping a device intended to be worn all the time, including indoors and in scenarios were people typically would not normally expect to be photographed or filmed.
> we get many more articles about "fat acceptance" and "dangers of exercising" than about the opposite.

Where is this movement you're talking about? Most of the articles I've seen in the mainstream media about "fat acceptance" are quite critical of the concept. I've seen exactly one "fat acceptance" article that seemed OK with it (a recent episode of This American Life), and that was a shock to me.

No, and it's not even close to the same thing. Your argument is just as ridiculous as the original article.

People were literally considered pieces of property under chattel slavery. "Salary slavery" is nowhere near as horrific or demeaning as real slavery, and it's frankly an offensive comparison to make.

If you want to never work a job in your life, pan handle on the streets, live off your relatives, or become a recluse, you are completely free to do so. Nobody is holding a gun (or a whip) over you and demanding you work.

It's easy to critique them for being too big, but what solution do you have? Would you propose that they just... stop scaling? Stop making new products?

I realize that they are really big, and with more products, they get more data, but imagine for one second that your goal truly was to help customers and provide them with as many useful tools as possible, what options would you have?

You either make more products that helps people (and end up getting more data), or you don't, stay stale, and end up going down like Yahoo or many other company who don't evolve do.

Yes absolutely. The SETS order book (London SE) now runs an intra day auction at 12pm where it limits the amount of info available during the auction. It is a price forming auction - it aims to decide a fair price for the stock while limiting information to participants. See: http://www.lseg.com/markets-products-and-services/our-market...
First you have to tell me what you think front running means. Originally front running had a very specific definition: Someone who has a fiduciary responsibility to me cannot use my trading interests to execute their own trades before they execute my trades. This sort of thing is clearly wrong because it can result in someone I've hired delivering subpar execution prices to me.

However the term has expanded a lot over the years to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. So what does it mean to you?
