It's not marketing - Apple goes out of their way to build privacy into their products. For example, the way that Apple Maps has no persistent user identifier and prevents Apple from knowing your location history.

Regarding ad-blocking VPNs, I can see why one might be sad to lose these and disagree with Apple's move here. But it's not a privacy decision - it's an ad-blocking decision. VPNs actually focused on privacy, like privateinternetaccess, aren't being removed from the App Store.
Greg from Twilio here.

Totally understand the concern there, especially since you're already paying for your cellphone.

I did something similar a couple years ago when we were shopping for a car. A lot of car shopping sites are basically lead generators for dealerships and you need to provide a number to get real info. I used a Twilio number forwarded to my cellphone.

The deluge of calls started immediately. After 48 hours, when we had all the information we needed, I released the Twilio number and incurred no further charges.

Total cost was $1 (per month) for the phone number and $0.01 per minute for the inbound calls. Upside was that my phone stopped ringing the moment I was done talking to salesmen.

How much data and what's your monthly cost? I have a 2TB storage VPS for under $10/month. rsync.net looks very good but is possibly total overkill for my needs. Definitely don't need >1 snapshot/day as that's what my hourly local backup is for.
Every article I read on the topic has a plug for IEX, an exchange that "refuses to pay kickbacks" which make me think that these peices are basically advertisements. Either kick backs serve no purpose and IEX will thrive especially in this environment where where investors are clamoring for yield. Or it does have some purpose or is not significant. Putting in regulations would likely lead to more complexity and regulatory capture
You could, but you'd be competing with everyone else that's also making transactions so you'd need an incredible amount of computational power to outstrip that.
The problem with this essay is that it conflates the needs of a large institutional investors like Yale with the needs of small investors (like you and me). In many cases these needs can be inverted.

Yale wants to buy and sell large blocks of stock without the price moving away from them.

I want to buy and sell stock at the best possible price with all of the latest information transmitted to the market as fast as possible.

This is why Yale would prefer to trade in "darker" exchanges like IEX and most retail investors should prefer other exchanges.

Interesting, unless I'm missing something Twilio's pricing does not include any unlimited incoming model.

From other VoIP providers, you can get that pretty easily. I use voip.ms and they charge $4.25/mo for a number and unlimited incoming.
Your comment, while snarky, isn't a refutable statement. As it stands you seem to be endorsing some position, which I'm inferring is in favor of Sanders and maybe in opposition to HFT. I can't really tell what you're getting at precisely though.

> Remember how he was widely pronounced deranged for suggesting that there should be a fee associated with trades? How it would destroy the market?

Who said this, specifically? What is your point in bringing it up?

> Remember when Sanders proposed a small fee on every trade on Wall Street to discourage high frequency trading and to recoup some value from the market?

I'm getting the sense that you'd be in favor of this - can you tell me why, in your own words, you believe we should be trying to "recoup value" from the activities of high frequency traders?
So lets say they extend Reg NMS to require sending the order to the NMS exchange with the shortest queue at the BBO?

I always take the advice of "push through the pain" as pushing through the pain of exhaustion, which will contribute to strength and your ability to push beyond current physical limits; whereas the advice of "listen to your body and stop when it hurts" is more related to injuries - if you have a constant muscle cramp, or joint pain, or a stress fracture, or a ligament issues... REST and recuperate. Pushing through this second sort of pain will very likely result in injuries worsening and requiring even longer to mend down the road.

With the "newline after prompt" scheme, you only get one extra line per query.

Which, if the query is long (e.g. longer than 20+ lines) it's not gonna make any difference anyway -- it's not like it matters if you can fit e.g. 24 or 23 lines of a 30 line query (besides, the result rows are gonna take much more vertical space, further making the measly 1 extra line issue moot).

As for for multiple small queries (and one extra line after each of those prompts), you can always scroll. And, again, the results are gonna take far more vertical space than the single extra line per prompt.

And, of course, with the full horizontal space available (and not half wasted by dots) you get to fit more characters in each line, and thus your queries will probably end up using FEWER lines.

So, not only the extra line from the "newline after prompt" is no big deal vertical-space wise, but the dot scheme wastes MORE vertical space AND renders queries unpastable.

As always, it depends..

Depends on the end goal. If you can only complete two miles and you're signed up for a marathon a month from now, you're going to have to push past your comfort zones.

But if your end goal is to be able to go up a flight of stairs without heavy breathing, to sustain vitality through your older years, then no, do not push. Do just the amount of effort that will allow you to keep coming back, day after day.
> Something like a minimum holding time is a more reasonable approach. However, there's not a clear cut answer in any case.

What I'd really like to see is a database of information about employers that's not readily available until you become an employee, like non-compete agreements, intellectual property assignments, etc.

If you've quit your job, sold your house / given up your apartment, moved all your stuff to a new city, then on your first day at your new job they hand you a stack of documents to sign including some (like non-compete agreements) that would have significantly influenced your decision to accept the job offer, then the employer has a great deal of leverage to get you to sign those documents.

It would be nice if this kind of information were more readily available in advance to people considering job offers.

Same argument can be made for stocks in companies. Sure it could be a bubble. No one knows the value of this stuff it's still 100% speculative (not generating a known return). That's why there's so much potential for massive returns at this stage.

That said, don't put money that you can't afford to lose into cryptocurrencies or there's a good chance you could get hurt.

Also, it's a great way to get easy exposure to high risk investments as a part of your risk adjusted portfolio.

> I think higher spreads would “slow” highest frequency trading. They cross the spread many more times per dollar than regular investors to it costs them more.

If I understand your thesis correctly, you want to decrease liquidity in order to reduce the speed at which high frequency trading can be executed?

I'm not following your point about transaction costs - or do you mean that you'd limit HFT by reducing liquidity, which in turn would reduce their volume, reducing their trade discounts?

It's mostly about how skimming a tiny bit of cash off of every trade is perfectly good for the exchanges to do to john Q public, but heaven help us if real traders have to put up with that.

I have no idea if Sanders' plan was good or not, I'm more grousing about how critically important principles of how the market is supposed to work seem to vary depending on whether you're talking about consumer-level investments vs. institutional investors.
I would love to think so! But sadly I've been burned on some things in the past as well (usually trusting that Amazon ships me the right item, eBay, that one item on Kickstarter, etc). I do my best to check seller reviews/ratings on typical eCommerce sites, but with Kickstarter it's more about experience of previous campaigns (like Cool Mini or Not, I trust them implicitly now).

I do agree with you, though, that crowdfunding, as a concept, is a caveat emptor situation. Sadly, as is the case in the United States anyway, caveat emptor seems to be the norm.
You are aware that HFT is essentially dead? It isnt profitable anymore and most of those firms are failing. Trading situations that allow for easy outsized profits like that disappear very fast.
I see this a lot in west-american culture in general, actually (I'm European). Far more emphasis on form than content whenever communication is expected.

As I constantly interact both with europeans and americans, it's really shocking sometimes seeing the difference and how crippled the communication lines are when constantly worried about the form of the message.

The kicker is that communications that don't have that extra layer to them don't feel bad or are offensive in any way, unless people go out of their way to be rude/aggressive. It just feels a lot better: it's more honest, more trustworthy, you're not left wondering if the person on the other end is saying nice things just to make you feel better.

This usually leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth where these kinds of relationships have lots of asterisks to them and I don't feel I can trust the other person. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be surrounded in that environment at work and feeling that way about all my colleagues.

(I'll add to that though that as someone who interacts with Stripe a lot, I've had nothing but positive experiences with them so YMMV)

I'm going to be a little contrarian but I wonder what happened to the good (or maybe bad) old days of just come to the company and do your job. You work these hours, and have these benefits, and this is how much vacation/sick time (none of this you have fake unlimited time). Do the job well and we will pay you more. You don't even have to like the people or even the company but you have to have proper biz etiquette.

Believe it or not that is how companies use to operate till recently. Most companies didn't even have guides/books/web pages on culture.

I know, know, know to attract top talent you have to make a place look more than just a job like your on some epic moral spiritual journey.

Now I read this stuff and it sounds like a great mission statement that is being forced on to the employees in some disingenuous way to make people "passionately" pump out work overtime while blindly believing whatever the company says.

The biggest irony out of all the culture "guides/books/page" is that they often tout or say how much they are for diversity (I know stripe doesn't in this case). It seems wrong to say you are for diversity when you are requiring people to think and act a certain way because you think its optimal.

Hololens, in its current state, is much bulkier and more expensive to deploy...

It's probably also way more expensive to design & build the experience and content for Hololens' interface..

Glass just needs video, text and a 2D navigation interface (I'm being reductive here but you get my point)..

You could of course do that kind of interface for Hololens too, but then why not just use Glass?
This is not about the easiest solution, as the easiest solution is just buying any automation system out there in the market. My main objective was learning. Absolutely always that I've learned something it helped me to get business opportunities or jobs. Regarding to the project, it works great for me. It works exactly as I need, it's flexible and extensible as no other approach, with the easyness that I have of been a software developer. I'm adding an alarm system to the project with push notifications, and I already can control my Pioneer AV receiver with the raspberry (through TC/IP), there are a lot of possibilites! :)
Agreed on the Apple full-sized keyboard. I use one on Windows, and the only thing I miss is the lack of a Print Screen key and volume control.

I get over the first by using the built in Snipping Tool. I get over the volume controls by using AutoHotKey.

If you go the AutoHotKey route, this script will get you Volume and mute functionality by using the Command and F10, F11, and F12 keys (the standard audio control function keys).

#F12::Send {Volume_Up} ; Raise the master volume
#F11::Send {Volume_Down} ; Lower the master volume
#F10::Send {Volume_Mute} ; Mute/unmute.
This is cool and all, and I'm glad the concept didn't totally die, but will consumers ever see this type of wearable tech again? Some people shelled out over $1k when Google initially offered glass prototypes, only to be left with unmaintained devices.

I honestly though Glass would have done better if it had no recording capabilities built-in. It would have substantially reduced the creepiness factor.

It's sad that no one has come in and tried to tackle the heads-up wearable market. Sony has some glasses that looked terrible, and I guess the battery life issues are still too big for many manufacturers to overcome?

I have mixed views about this. I see your point that its definitely an unfair advantage to Google since its the default search engine and can gather so much data. But the existing job sites (indeed, for example) have done a piss poor job so far. I guess what I'm saying is: I would have been a lot more concerned if Indeed was amazing and Google stepped in specifically to destroy it before it got too big (like MS did with IE and Netscape).

Paywalled sites (particularly news/media sites) are playing at a messy game here. It’s similar to the free vs paid music. In the radio-records day, free radio play drove record sales revenue. Ideally they would sell records to anyone willing to pay, but give music away to anyone willing to listen. In the actual world, you can’t do this perfectly so you need another way for free & paid to co-exist. Once the medium changed to digital, all the rules get thrown out. Attempts to force digital to play by radio-&-record’s rules have been a slog.

Many internet generations ago news sites were mad at Google for showing ads alongside their headlines on news.google. They even got some lawmakers to agree. Google offered to de-index them. Stalemate.

Similar issue here. News sites want paid subscriptions if they can get them, so paywall. They also want the readers who won’t pay, so no paywall.

Overall, I think paywalling is a semi-dead end. I don’t mean that it won’t work for any site, but it’ll probably be a niche revenue source like a print-only publication. Most news sites want to be part of the greatest, most relevant discussions. Those happen on the internet as a whole, not inside walled gardens. This mess free for some, paid for others mess is to much of a kludge to be the model.
