Tyranny is not black and white. Just because this is not North Korea does not mean that we are free, and just because a relationship is contractual does not mean it's fair. There are fantastic, gigantic power imbalances in this country, and this is one of them- and if people point out a moral problem it does not mean they are playing the victim, whining, or hitting emotional buttons. You can justify sharecropping with the argument you just made. Not only that but you just gave any government the right to impose any restriction on its citizens so long as they are able to leave- that's totally absurd.
Good info there -- but I think I wasn't clear, I was suggesting moving the ring binder onto a table/rack right by the work-space, using something like a music stand.

Seems like if the mechanic just had to turn around to access the ring-binder, instead of walking down a flight of stairs, the efficiency difference would be less.
Author is building a Spring MVC application but labels it as a "Kotlin app". Is it because Kotlin is the new hotness and the Spring Framework is "old" and "uncool"?
All of your criticisms are kind of superficial and senseless:

- type annotations + HTML in comments - it is called javadoc

- 80 column limit - lowest common denominator for most people, also historically part of Sun code conventions for Java - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/...

- single character variable names - who cares, a symbol is a symbol

- variable declarations inside loops - more readable, no chance of referencing stale value outside of scope, and HotSpot will probably recompile anyhow

If everyone fell under the same umbrella, I would agree (I would even potentially argue that we would all be better off for it). But I fear there will be a large class divide between who we can see naked, and who we can't. Additionally, I wouldn't mind so much because I'm quite happy with my body. Many people aren't, and I'm not sure that modesty is false for them.

Yes, and this is happening. The low hanging fruit in HFT is effectively gone, and you can no longer compete on just speed. The industry has been shrinking since the early 2010s.
None of these things tell you that much about a company's values or corporate culture. Consider that both Uber and Lyft could probably both say all of these things, despite having radically different internal cultures and values.

A company's culture is how it thinks about resolving disputes, making decisions internally, and how employees should generally behave towards one another, especially when in conflict. It's not the benefits, or dress code, or HR department.

As Uber's proven, just because everyone gets to wear t-shirts, doesn't mean they aren't jerks to each other.

It seems like that would only matter if you assume that a bid can't be canceled or changed. Assuming you're free to cancel or modify a bid right up until the close, whether you put the bid in at the start of the window or the close of the window wouldn't matter as you could always modify or cancel the bid as new information comes in.
Could not agree more. What I find odd is that this is how most of the people are I come into contact with. Most women I know, including my wife, desire the stereotypical life. She wants to stay at home while I work. It's not like any of our 'roles' are set in stone it is just how things happened. The few friends I still have are in similar positions with their spouses.

What?
For me it would be facial recognition crossed with something like linkedin. I really struggle with recognising people and it has a large impact on how well I can network at informal events such as tech meetups. Others will recognise each other from similar events and sometimes might recognise me "Oh weren't you at <X>?". At which point I look very rude when I have no idea whatsoever who they are.

So some tech to aid recognition and the ability to add a few notes such as their line of business would be something I'd happily spend a lot of money on.

But early on glass said "no access to facial recognition APIs" which killed my interest in it's first incarnation.
In addition to these three upcoming conferences (on top of RustFest Kyiv this past April), the Rust community team is tossing around the idea of holding a simultaneous, remote "conference" at locations distributed around the world, to help accommodate people who can't physically attend any of our other conferences. This is still in the works, but hopefully we'll have more details soon. :)

Nothing. There is not a performance hit in most languages, and it clearly articulates that the variable is only in scope for one iteration of the loop.
You are drastically overestimating how much money HFT market makers earn. Virtu Financial (one of the biggest firms in this area) earns about 100 million a year.

I think you are also underestimating the costs to retail investors to not getting accurate pricing. Shaving a few tents of a point off of every trade will have a huge effect on the lifetime earnings of an individuals.
The FSF's definition of "Free Software" doesn't necessarily match the English language's definition of "free software". Since we're speaking English, I think it's reasonable to assume the latter meaning, like most reasonable people who haven't encountered the FSF would.

I really wish people would capitalize things like this. "This is not Free Software" would make the sentence unambiguous. You can't just go around redefining the English language willy nilly and expect people to play along.

Languages do evolve naturally but this isn't natural. This is an organization trying to influence the language to advance an agenda (though I believe it to be a worthy agenda, it's still an agenda).
One of the main selling points of Apple is that they don't build as many social graphs as the other guys.

I was sort of exaggerating there but I'm not entirely sure liking == trusting (or the obvious reversal). In fact I would not be surprised if having say two personalities that do not mesh well one on one but work great on a team to maybe beneficial to the whole group.

Some personalities might be better at different roles. My point is not everyone has to like everyone.

I agree that this is the better starting market for Glass.

I think they saw the difference between Apple and Blackberry and believed that penetrating the consumer market first would drive demand within the business market.
There was no mention of Florida in the post I replied to, but I would expect the average Florida cave dive to be in significantly larger passage, with consequently clearer water, and being able to dive with a buddy. Warmer water too. This might make it a bit safer compared to the UK's constricted, silty passages, but I doubt it would be the orders of magnitude that would make it as safe as driving.

Saying there is almost no overlap in skills and equipment seems like a big stretch (at least from my second-hand knowledge). You might e.g. mount cylinders differently and use a scooter in Florida, but you still have similar challenges and potential hazards to overcome.
Hahaha, you got me there. Althought, to be fair, Snowmobile is an entirely different product category. Same problem, different scale of solution. It's like Starbucks coming out with a truck solution, when all you wanted was a Venti.
I'm pretty sure Lever and Greenhouse have price gouged in the past (anchored against the price of hiring expensive developers), so I've basically stayed away from them. It's ridiculous to spend thousands of dollars for an ATS, especially if your hiring needs fluctuate (which many do). Workable is honestly great. Super simple and straight forward pricing. Couldn't recommend it more and have it used in two separate places.
Yes, but the embedded platforms that are interesting for high-level scripting are mostly phones. Worse than desktops, they won't bother with 32-bit compatibility layers.

Using the other meaning of embedded (I embedded a Lua script in my C application), compatibility libraries don't help. It simply won't link.
That defeats the purpose of a burner phone by not being anonymous.
That was my reaction... about 3 to 4 years ago when I saw the Epson Moverio BT-100 engine maintenance training demonstration (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVV5tUmky6c). It's not as sleek as Glass, but it's in the same spirit.

Point being that Google isn't quite breaking new ground by selling augmented reality to businesses. Rather, it seems that they're trying to make the most out their Glass product now that it tanked as a consumer product.
That article has two reasons, though it spreads "amplification" out among several factors. In fairness, I do agree with the problem of flash crashes, whether they are caused by algorithms moving too quickly or too similarly.

I'll contest the "confidence in the market" hypothesis, however. As more investors move to index funds, I don't believe "confidence" as defined would have any significant impact by increasing or decreasing, because fewer participants overall will be actively engaged.
I imagine it has more to do with the fact that simply saying "Spring app" will make most people assume it's written in Java. It would perhaps be better to say it's a Kotlin Spring app, but honestly the web framework being used is probably less important than the language it's being written in.

I don't know how you guys think this is an adversarial example. I see a picture of a desktop computer.
Unrelated, but I have a question for you. I've been unable to find a good answer for how exactly HFT benefits the average person.

Stuff like antibiotics, electric lights, refrigeration, washing machines, phones, computers all have all led to direct and immediate quality of life improvements. Often on the order of a tenfold improvement for that activity, and they are easily within reach of the majority of the population.

What would become 10x worse for the average person if HFT were to vanish overnight? Would mortgage rates massively spike? Would bond rates plummet? Is there some quantifiable financial thing that would regress to whatever terrible situation we were in back in 1990 before HFT was substantial?

Another way to get free access to the WSJ, which doesn't require stepping into a legally/ethically grey area, is to use one of the handful of apps/extensions that has been granted free access.

The WSJ approached me and offered this access to a project I'm building, Read Across The Aisle [1]. I've built an iOS app and Chrome extension, both of which are free. I don't know exactly what the WSJ gets out of this deal (we have not given them, or anyone else, any user data), but I think it's that they want to be associated with post-filter bubble projects.

I recommend watching this one - it gives concrete examples of how what the workers user Glass for, and how they access (verbally) and retrieve information (visually).
Looks like it could be the same person, but wouldn't that make more sense? If it's different people then you're not just changing one aspect, the glasses in this case.

The worker presumably has to do the same work many times. So he isn't doing the work in the video for the first time regardless. It's something he does regularly. They could do the work with glasses a couple of times and compare it with non-glass work times. I think this is (as in the video) is the best A/B test way.
Did it work out?
Agreed, and that's the thing about cycling, it's a "gentle" exercise. Since the persons weight is suspended by the bike frame, the body doesn't experience the same stresses and impacts that runners do, for example. It's also how the big tours like the Tour de France can be 3 weeks long. Only a handful of people on Earth could run a marathon everyday for three weeks, but lots of cyclist can do nearly the equivalent on a bike.
1) Yes, but as I've said elsewhere there is a lot of information in the world other than the last hour's orders (why do people always forget this?)

2A) Preventing unmatched bids/asks will not work. Remember that you are starting at zero. All bids/asks are unmatched when you start with an empty order book. If you relax this some then yes you will leak and you are back to where you started.

2B) If you handle things sequentially then you have reintroduced a speed imperative. I, again, have an incentive to go fast to get first in line.

3) Yes, of course you are taking it away from everyone, but that matters more to me (an unsophisticated guy with no real time market research) than it does to BIG_HEDGE_FUND_GUY who does have such things and can, more easily, figure out what the market price should be without the help of the market. You are putting me at a disadvantage and him at an advantage. Is that really your goal?

Indeed, but this is the kind of technical annoyance that cripples the "it just works" perception/marketing of BTC. I guess this is what makes people look forward to BTC ETFs as opposed to the real thing for their investo-gambling.
Ask HN: How do you manage CSS at your company?
How does your company manage CSS with hundreds, or even thousands of developers working with it?

I haven't seen this problem solved at any company I've worked for.

Usually there's some attempt at an internal framework or style guide, but it's always poorly documented, not maintained, and unused. Developers just write their own CSS from scratch any time it's needed which results in bloated style sheets and a nightmare to refactor.

What kind of tools and techniques do you use to make CSS smooth and efficient at your company?
GitLab’s UX Researcher here. TheCoreh has summed things up well but I thought I’d share my own thoughts.

During usability testing, you eventually reach a point where users start demonstrating the same behaviour. Once that happens, it’s not really worth speaking to more users, as you’re not learning anything new. You’re better to implement changes based on the user feedback you have and then re-test with different users. The navigation has been through 3 rounds of usability testing (24 users in total). Sometimes we tested with more than one prototype at once, hence us testing with a few extra users.

We conducted usability testing to get us to a point where we felt comfortable sharing the new navigation with a much wider audience. There’s still more research to come!

If you’re interested in getting involved with the research, then GitLab has a research panel you can join: https://about.gitlab.com/researchpanel/ or you can just drop us your feedback on: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/34917
Yes, but that's hardly practical. I guess someone will make software for this (with the corresponding caveats, bugs, security and trust issues, etc).
They don't. That term has basically become an advertising slogan for IEX.

HFT is great for retail investors because you trade cheaper and faster. Usually retail investors get price improvement over the market since HFT brokerages compete for retail flow.

HFT is bad for institutional investors who don't want to invest in sophisticated execution since the market reacts very quickly to large orders. Institutional investors include firms like Vanguard or firms that greatly inform price discovery, so it's worth thinking about both sides of the market and not just optimizing for best retail execution.

IEX is by and for large institutional investors. IEX's delay doesn't apply to one (multiple?) of their hidden/protected order types, which allows larger orders resting on the book to avoid market impact and execution at 'bad' prices as these orders can move away from the top of the book in 'unfavorable' market conditions.
Yes. They also have a reputation for preferring quantity over quality (half-assed pullups) and a generally sloppy approach to safety (yeah sure do squats while balancing on an exercise ball). Check out the deadlift form in the "crossfit games": https://youtu.be/0lr1p7f2P4Y?t=50s

Or how they do "pullups": https://youtu.be/XQvSmqChm6M?t=1m40s
Yes but they are never going to tell you the actual internal culture.

In fact I believe it isn't stating concrete things (ie a lack of formality) that may actually lead to things like Uber.

When you say this is the hours, and this your vacation time, and this is who you talk to about personal issues (aka HR) you are setting an expectation. And yeah you set clear goddamn concrete things like if you get caught harassing or fishing of the company pier we will terminate you. You tell them concretely up front.

When you don't set guidelines people can forget its work and do just plain inappropriate things!
Espresso trucks sound awesome.
I always assumed that the expiration date was partly legal, in the way that you only have 1 year within which you can legally have the drug in your system.

Improve on Your Communication Channel for Good Customer Experience
I don't agree.

They could've used the manufacturing side to enhance the tech, get the components to a cheaper price point, maybe even slim down the whole thing and then when they felt ready to enter the consumer market, spin it off as something new under another consumer-only brand.
How does that make any sense?

So when you go to another hospital, your records should be unavailable?
I think it's true, but I hope this synergy between logic and pattern recognition actually happens, as I feel like this has been proposed for years but never really come to fruition. However, with recent work on differentiable communicating agents, differentiable memory etc., perhaps it now has a chance to get there.

It sounds like the kind of thing that would cause an existential crisis to the G Suite unit ($1B+ annual revenue) when discovered or leaked. This would have follow-on effects to other Google brands. Also massive liability for breach of contract or even perhaps fraud.

In the G Suite contract, do customers indemnify Google from damages above a certain amount for privacy breaches? I haven't seen the T&Cs, just the privacy policy.
If you put a fabric covering on any flexible structure and then flex it, the fabric has a tendency to gather at the joints. I'm surprised he has not elastic straps on his ankles as well as I'b bet without the usual forces in play I would think his pants would ride up his calves towards his knees as well.

There is an entire community of people however who collect "evidence" that the ISS is a hoax! This would be exactly the kind of "proof" they'd love!

First off a trader with the results of all previous auctions should be able to make some educated estimates about what the auction contains. Secondly prices are formed by incorporating information into the price. Supply and demand information is only one type of information. Say that we have an auction expiring at 10AM. At 9:59:59.500 Goldman's equity research desk announces that it is downgrading a security. Our trader can now in the remaining 500 milliseconds place aggressive asks to take advantage of what is likely to be a downward price movement. Other's in the auction with resting bids are now going to trade into a price that is moving lower. And arguing against colocation will not help here. There will always be traders who are able to place themselves at whatever the closest allowed point, whether inside the exchange or not.
We can already obsess about memories using social media, but this would take it to level 3.
