NS are a pretty good model for the underwater scenarios a Navy would be interested in, so I think they can be called "right" here. The fluids are regarded as "Newtonian" so the stress tensor model is good, and the density of the fluid is high enough that the continuum approximation is good. The largest source of error is likely the approximations made to model the turbulence, or in other words, reduce the computational complexity while also reducing accuracy.
I would reach out to two sorts of people. 1) traders who already trade other products, especially quant traders and traders of exotic derivatives. 2) young people who are part of trading clubs at high-tech universities where there are likely to be some computer scientists in the mix.

Basically, I would structure the desk such that the technologically savvy people are analysts to the risk savvy people, with some quants to assist them and conceive pricing/predictive tools.

Your average quant is likely to know a lot about the financial markets, and have the ability to learn about individual crypto coins, but also likely to be unaccustomed to discretionarily managing risk.

I don't know how you would find someone who has been successful in trading bitcoin, but that would probably have more to do with luck than skill anyway. Not to mention that a large component of successfully trading on a desk involves communication with others, and that is larger than just "was this guy able to make money by being long bitcoin in 2017."
Have they gone down when the price is surging upward? I only ever see them going offline when the price goes down but I may have missed something.
Sounds like a reasonable system.
Is there really much there is to expect though? Bitcoin's value has no real basis one way or another, since all the purported practical uses have fizzled out once the network became incapable of actual commerce due to various factors like transaction fees, price instability, processing delays, etc.

So I guess by now, Bitcoin crashing by 50% is as surprising or unsurprising as Bitcoin growing by 50% instead. So I'm not sure if you could really expect the crash, since that expectation requires understanding the unknown speculation mechanism that currently drives it. Though in the future some analysis in hindsight might tell us how to explain what market psychology is currently influencing the price.
Ah, alright, so it monitors the sensors and sends a notification either over SMS or Signal. Got that.

What I don't really get is the "event logs and captured media can be remotely accessed through a Tor Onion Service". Whose Tor Onion Service? Wow, my phone runs an Onion service? Did not see that coming.

I'm assuming the phone needs to be charged 24 hours a day because something like this will kill phone batteries within a few hours.
Sort of; actually, MTA funding is a total mess of state subsidies, taxes on counties in the MTA region (remember, the MTA is more than the subway -- LIRR and MNR are also under its umbrella), city subsidies, city taxes, real estate income, and fare revenue (and maybe a few more things beyond that). The MTA also issued bonds to cover budget gaps, so now in addition to capital and operating costs it has debt service to deal with.

The MTA's internal organization is also a total mess. Metro-North and LIRR use nearly identical equipment (identical except for power systems) but are considered separate agencies within the MTA. The subway system is also considered separate, and in fact there is yet another internal division in the subway: IRT, BMT, and IND (internally referred to as 'A', 'B1', and 'B2' divisions). So there is needless duplication in the management structure. Beyond that, there are two more MTA railroads that are easy to forget about: the Staten Island railroad, and the South Brooklyn Railway (which may be operated as part of the subway's "C" division maintenance group, I am a bit fuzzy on the details there). Incredibly, the SIR uses the same equipment as the BMT and IND, so it is a bit difficult to understand why it is managed separately.

Yep, I've always been fascinated with that approach and I think it's one of the best solutions. The station itself enriches the land it's on. Even better, it makes the whole public transit system more efficient. If I have to go to another city to shop at a specific store, then it's far more convenient if that store is located there in the station instead of having to take a bus from the station and back.

Ok, sure, I guess some people have the luxury of a dedicated bike path with no intersections. Here in the city, I can’t get close to my (low) top speed because I hit a res light every block or two. When I used a suburban trail, it was mixed-use, so I had to go even slower to navigate safely around pedestrians and potholes.
AMD is working on ROCm https://rocm.github.io/ It will be an open source answer to CUDA and I hope this will now get more support.

"We are excited to present ROCm, the first open-source HPC/Hyperscale-class platform for GPU computing that’s also programming-language independent. We are bringing the UNIX philosophy of choice, minimalism and modular software development to GPU computing. The new ROCm foundation lets you choose or even develop tools and a language run time for your application."
The other thing that's startling to me is that not that long ago pretty much all game servers were hosted by people other than the publisher of the game. I don't think there ever was a Valve hosted CS 1.6 server and it's still true that the vast majority of TF2 servers are community run. I think the same is still true for Minecraft. That worked really well.
You think it's fishy and you have no way to know if something is going on behind the curtain at coinbase but you don't want regulation? Regulation is what lets you peek behind the curtain and know that Coinbase is or isn't doing something fishy.

If a contributor is responsible for significant part of the code coverage, funding or documentation, by all means kudos.

Why? Are there regulations in place that forbid coinbase to halt their service?

This is not meant to be sarcastic, just wondering if there are laws in place even for unregulated markets like Bitcoin.
Ironically, the postapocalyptic world will probably still use US dollars. And when it turns out that not enough physical dollars survived the apocalypse, dollars will be the way credit is accounted, with whatever dollars remain being used to periodically reconcile accounts.

>The point is that you can't just "create a new company" tomorrow that is in any way comparable to a successful business

That's my point exactly! Just because you can replicate the "class" of thing, doesn't mean you can replicate the thing...

Just like how a company stock isn't just a piece of paper that anyone can photocopy, a cryptocurrency isn't just the code that runs it. It's the users, the track record of security, the amount of vendors and exchanges that use it, the amount of centralization/decentralization to it's development team, the amount and maturity of implementations of the software, and any number of other intangible things.

Simply making a new cryptocurrency is exactly the same as making a new company, or a new facebook, or a new toyota, or a new anything. It doesn't make you a direct competitor any more than my "klathmonbook.com" is a direct competitor to facebook just because I replicated some (or even all) of the functionality.

>the ash heap of history is littered with the remains of companies that thought they could replicate a successful company's business model only to find out that its actually not that simple.

So is the pile of scamcoins and poorly thought out implementations that have already collapsed within months of their creation. Give the space some more time, and I bet you'll see a lot more of them fail, because just like how creating a company isn't just clicking a button, creating a successful cryptocurrency isn't a simple thing either. But I still don't think that it means that all cryptocurrencies are worthless because anyone can enter the space.
A few days ago it felt so much easier to answer this question, haha.

Coinbase puts a lot of work and effort into their security models. Storing coins yourself means that you now have to:

1) Physically secure your private key

2) Secure the machine that you use to interact with that private key

3) Ensure that that private key was generated in a secure way

4) Ensure that the ways that you interact with that private key don't cause any problems.

etc.

Storing your own keys is a bet that you are better at security than coinbase's team. That's not a bet I necessarily want to make.
Super high volumes are making everything happen faster.
They're popular in Berlin and the system works well. It's only one company, but I've never seen this sort of vandalism.

I also don't understand why it would happen. They have GPS, and the company knows who rents them. Maybe it's inconsiderate riders leaving them in the middle of the sidewalk, plus inconvenienced pedestrians damaging them in revenge?

Even in that somewhat possible scenario: I wonder why people don't similarly take matters into their own hands when inconvenienced by, for example, illegally parked cars.

It's also worth mentioning that no bike, parked anywhere but the middle of a busy street, could create as much inconvenience and health risks as any car.

People always assume a city full of cars as the "default", that has to be accepted. Yet in large cities, a quarter to half of all people (and far more in Manhattan) live good lives without owning a car. Imagine how quality of life would skyrocket if more people made the responsible choice: you'd win back 1/3 of public space that is currently used for parking. Possibly another 1/6th by converting most streets to one-ways, as would be possible if the remaining traffic is just public transport, deliveries & the elderly. With less traffic, most intersections could function without traffic lights.

Biking, walking, and public transport would each become far more attractive than it is right now. Seriously: in dense areas, car usage has become a collective action problem.
Just before the first futures it was surging and they went down. But anecdotally it does seem to happen more on the ride down
"My virtue is the only virtue" thinking.

The real world is full of tradeoffs. Sure, delivering early is a good thing. Sure, doing everything we can to prevent bugs (or at least find them early) is good. Delivering early is good, more features are good, beautiful interfaces are good. But you can't have all these things at once, even if you could spend infinite money on infinite developers (which would be un-good in its own way). Oh yeah, work-life balance and employee retention are also good.

I'd be a lot happier without the architects who only care about clean APIs. The reviewers who only care about braces and variable names. The devs who only care about core algorithms. The testers who only care about reporting as many bugs as possible. The performance engineers who only care how fast it is. The product managers who only care about features. The project managers who only care about schedules. Work with me, people, instead of just flinging demands at me from every direction at once. Or go screw yourself, because if everyone else is going to be that way then I might as well be too.

And thus do I become part of the problem.
Were you riding during peak hours (7-10, 4-7)?

That's when it tends to get really bad - even minor delays cause massive backups, because the trains are essentially running as close together as the (outdated) signaling technology allows.

Once a delay happens, there's no way to catch up other than just waiting for peak hours to pass and catching up during off-peak time.

That being said, it's still a huge step up from pretty much every other city's metro system (save for maybe DC). It's just that it's gone from being a 8/10 to a 7/10, compared to every other city's 3/10.
Belief in Free Will Predicts Better Job Performance (2010)
You are wrong. Luxury real estate in NYC is dependent on the transit system, and gentrification tends to follow subway lines. The value of a NYC apartment is related to the proximity to a subway stop. This is why, for example, the new 2nd Ave. subway line ends where it ends -- the next planned stop is in a neighborhood that has not been gentrified, while the existing stops serve several luxury developments.

Fine. Sell it to some investment firm, let the new owners run it with zero empathy, pay off whoever they need to pay off to kick out the union, reduce headcount, cut benefits, sell off assets and all the other things you expect and investment firm worth anything to do when it acquires something. Then in a decade when that becomes untenable and the public demands the state take back over the state takes back over and inherits a much different and more workable mess than it has at present.

The hole is very deep. There's no way out that isn't slow and painful.
There's a cost to run shards - bandwidth, processing and storage. Each transaction has a 2n1 cost (2 Parties, 1 shard, 'n' shards to sync too.) Decentralization has a high overhead to verify transactions over 'n' participants.

That why centralized ledgers were created. Sharded ledgers just means that you have smaller ledgers that have to be synchronized at some point. When you have more centralization you have larger chance of fraud.

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/president-ford-announces...

service runs very well in NYC (anecdotally), but compared to cities like LA or Phoenix their trains are the haggard burro's of times long gone. Sad to say but I feel the only thing that will improve the quality of this service over time is cascading system failures similar to what BART is experiencing. Politicians are gleefully divorced from the concept of public transportation in their largest city, so until the NYC Subway begins to impact titans of industry and their ability to call upon the masses to come to work on time, its likely to remain a grisly reminder of just how real living in america can be.

A culture shift might not hurt either, although full disclosure im not entirely steeped in the culture of the big apple. Here in Los Angeles, extending our purple line train to the tune of four billion dollars seemed like a generally wise investment to everyone; the tax passed easily.
Why is it they always seem to go down during times of sudden surges and dips? It almost feels like they’re trying to control the market of their platform rather than let it play out. It may indeed just be infrastructure but given the company’s age and decent amount of funding they have now, can scaling really be at play here?
Compare and contrast to hypothetical banks with no regulations at all? Maybe they're not perfect right now, but it could be a lot worse, too.
Watching American Greed opened my eyes how common these ponzi schemes are and how victims come from all walks of life. I've noticed a pattern though, victims usually seem to be the people like retirees who view markets as too risky are sold on promise that their principle will be safe.

It's not like that at all. If shouting fire in a crowded theater is constitutionally prohibitable, it's not because it's not in the public interest, it's because it's dangerous.

In general, the government is NOT allowed to prohibit any speech that "is not in the public interest" under the constitution. In general. The FCC and broadcasting is a special case justified by limited spectrum (although one that the Supreme Court has extensively limited further since 1943), but not because it's like shouting fire in a crowded theater.
> what you need is a desire to learn everyday

This is true, but in my opinion this advice misses the point.

Of course, if you are older and finally developed this skill, you don't need anything more. However, the questioner seems to be on the beginning of this journey.

Recommending "just learn everyday" is like telling fat people to exercise and not to eat too much. Of course that's true, but misses the point: How to get there?

Having people around you who motivate you to learn, who know and acknowledge what you are doing, and who are willing (and paid for) to help you if you get stuck - this is exactly what young and/or inexperienced people need, and a very good starting point until they are finally able to get along with the internet and nobody's assistance anymore.
>don't want regulation

No, there are many reasons why I do want regulation. I just try not to get too religious about any of my opinions, and that lets me still see some reasons why regulation can be a bad thing.

Have you ever been to China?

You can walk 24/7 in any city in China without worrying your safety.

Tell me you dare to walk midnight in downtown New York or LA or Chicago.
That's interesting. In Prague, subway (which is IMHO superior to NY subway in some ways) is closed every day from midnight till 5 am (roughly, I think it is extended by an hour during weekends). Instead, we have night trams and buses, so the downtime is not a big deal. Maybe a change of culture would be helpful?
1. enough people means >50%, that's a lot.

2. ledgers keep transaction histories, not absolute values. to clear someone's wallet, you have to transfer his money out. you can't forge that guy's crypto signature.
