Trading volume across a diverse range of exchanges cannot be easily faked. Large exchanges with institutional investors, like Coinbase, are not going to fake their volume.

>>These exchanges aren't exactly trying to ensure people aren't trading out of multiple accounts against themselves.

Many of them verify ID and don't allow people to have multiple accounts.

Also, people pay fees on every trade. All of this volume being a conspiracy by people, working on a dozen exchanges, and willing to pay millions in fees to each exchange just to pump up its volume, is highly unrealistic.

It's not how conspiracies work. There needs to be a way to enforce a pact for a pact to be successful. No such method exists for the thousands of traders across the world.
Big /r/apple thread about MBP keyboard issues:

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/83frmc/macbook_pro_2...

The subreddit is mostly rabid diehard Apple fans, so the amount of discussion there on this is telling.

I'm on my 7 year old MacBook Air and I've never had keyboard issues. Looks like I'll be waiting for the 2018 MBP to upgrade.
Please stop selling the Mustang soon, people just buy them to make lots of noise and set off other people's car alarms :'(
I think the fact that the Focus and Fiestas sold from 2011-2016 had defective transmissions (complete with class action settlement) already destroyed their brand momentum in the small car market.
> It's a real shame that the station wagon died out.

Major manufacturers like Volkswagen, Volvo, Audi, BMW still sell 'station wagon' cars.
I definitely prefer my 2015 MBP over the TouchBar models. The 1 thing I DO like about the new models is universal USB-C charging.

I have an Anker USB-A/USB-C charger for my phone and it charges my TouchBar MBP just fine. Beats having to buy an expensive Apple charger to have one at home and one at the office.

Other than that, the 2015 has USB-A, HDMI, better keyboard, smaller touchpad, and actual Fn keys.

I disagree, and I'd look to the words of Bayless and Bourdain. Mexican food in the Bay Area, at least, is almost entirely taquerias.
I've spent time learning multiple Asian languages. You can learn Korean script in a couple days. Anything more than halting sounding-out takes much longer.

Did you actually read the article?

It's written beautifully, and includes what looks like a delicious recipe. I myself never realized the similarities between Chinese and Eastern European dumplings, but there is a fair amount of overlap, especially with regards to soup dumplings!

As a bit of context, that technology will not be any where near your most expensive investment for HFT. Years ago I was on a trade where we could rent that technology for 1500 per month. It can only have come down from there.

Your time is an order of magnitude more expensive than that. Other expenses besides your time include making sure you have the fee structure to be competitive & getting a clearing partner that is ok with letting you fire off enough orders to make it worth while.

At least with Pets.com you could order a 40 pound bag of dog food and get it delivered to your door. It may have been a bad business model but it still tried to solve a real problem.

Blockchain doesn't even solve real problems. It is just a technology in search of a problem. So far, the only "problem" it solves is providing a world-class platform for fraudsters and scammers to conduct business on top of.

Ethereum, in particular, is an excellent platform to spin up an ICO, take a bunch of suckers money, exit scam, and then go move to a country with no extradition treaty with the US...
I wonder what actually changed in the new design that causes this problem? The travel is obviously shorter butsomething else is fundamentally causing the problem. Does it have a smaller surface area/pad, different pad material, different coating etc...
I’m on my third now and just booking to take it back with more failing keys. Useless compared to the old ones.
In the UK, employers are limited to what they can ask about based on the position and the length of conviction. I've posted about this before recently[1], so won't repeat myself here, but basically an employer will not know about short (<4 year) convictions (and you aren't required to tell them about them) unless they are recent or relevant to the job (e.g. working with children/vulnerable people).

I have had no problems with the current Macbook Pro keyboard. Am I in the minority? I also love the feel of it. I really like the low travel and the Touchbar helps a bunch with my RSI. I don't use the Trackpad at all unless I really need to. I also use Emacs which gives you an idea of how much I use the keyboard.
For those of us that need to parallel park sometimes, SUVs are highly preferrable to station wagons.
Lots of trouble with mine as well. Key presses getting doubled or more. Especially on the "b" key. Had to replace the entire key and membrane and clean underneath the glued membrane to get it working again. (was 2 months out of warranty)

Also had the left command key just fall off. I know I rest my finger on it, but it shouldn't just fall off.

I like the low travel that some complain about, but any keyboard is useless if it doesn't work consistently.
I appreciate that you have come to understand that any sex crime, no matter how minor, can do (and typically does) terrible psychological harm to the victim and anyone close to them. And you absolutely need to not ever do it again.

But I'm a 52 year old woman who was molested and raped as a child and who spent years in therapy over that. I have read enormous amounts about what I would term human sexual morality and spent enormous amounts of time contemplating it. I also blog about such topics at times.

As a woman, I have been on the receiving end of male sexual interest essentially my entire life. I have met damn few men who really get it right in all the particulars, at all times. Men who are otherwise perfectly well behaved can turn into assholes when they have had a couple of drinks. Men who otherwise get it right can err on the side of avoiding a woman in order to hide their attraction to her (or simply worried about rumor and innuendo, even if they aren't personally attracted) in situations where this can close doors for her career-wise.

I recently got off the street after 5.7 years of sleeping in a tent and I am still struggling to make ends meet. That last one above really sticks in my craw at this point.

When the rest of the entire world can figure out how to get over its sexism enough to stop saying "Meh, not my problem that this woman (or any woman) can't eat. God forbid that anyone should think I like her in that way. Better to just keep walking. Not my problem." then I will maybe consider frying you for flashing someone.

But I assure you, the world isn't there yet. It has a lot of growing up to do in that regard.
well, that would be tooling though. you wouldn’t say that x86 is missing formal methods therefor you shouldn’t use it right...

solidity, etc sure maybe... but at that point, releasing early is probably a good thing so that you can get a whole community working on things and getting ideas and collaboration from a large group of people

It's just 'F' isn't it? Why add a dollar? And why not just more simply write 'Ford'?
Is it "no" an accepted answer?

Our company works in the crypto space and we have a small research area that includes trading. We played with arbitrage strategies and have not seen a consistent return. Most times when you calculate a high return path it is because some exchange is not working really well (e.g. delaying transactions). Not saying that our observation is universal but I don't believe you can make right now a lot of money with arbitrage except in very discrete opportunities.

BTW, highly recommend the CCXT library[1] to connect with multiple exchanges.

In some places, there's pretty much a kebap shop over-saturation, at least in Germany.

Luckily these past years a lot of the "US food" has become way more popular. Tons of "artisan burger" restaurants and burrito/taco shops popping up. US-style food trucks, with all kinds of different offerings, also have become very popular.
Well compared to how Russia treats its minorities, i.e. Tatars in Crimea, I think Kazakhstan does a better job.
"F" is their ticker symbol, and $SYMBOL is commonly used to denote that SYMBOL refers to a stock.

Additionally, it usually carries the context of specifically referring to Ford stock rather than Ford the corporate entity in general.

Driving on neighborhood streets is asocial and callous. Wether you use an "app' or not is irrelevant, you're still wrong. As social community feelings have eroded, I guess we now must use technology to combat those that are not polite enough to comply. Make all but the roads designed for transit prohibited to all but local traffic, enforce by cutting streets or ANPR cameras.

> Wage deprecation (allegations) from H1-B isn't from an increased supply.

So, you think H-1B as well as H-4 EAD are exceptions to the basic dynamics of supply and demand?

Even if you assume the immigrants involved have the same distribution of salary demands as the general American workforce, adding them to the domestic labor supply decreases market clearing costs for labor of the type they are available to do, all else being equal. (Of course, if they have lower salary demands, this is even more pronounced without a prevailing wage rule, which H-1B has but H-4 EAD does not.)
It's far worse because it lacks any kind of controls or process to make sure everybody gets a fair shake. A good government answers to all citizens. Blockchains answer to those with the most hash power (i.e. $$$$).

You are effectively saying you'd prefer mob rule over due process.
Poking at the new UI, it looks like it uses the system default sans-serif font. So you're completely in control. If you want Segoe UI or Verdana, use that as your system default, and Gmail will reflect that.

Arrests, prosecutions, and convictions are a matter of public record. So the specific offense and sentence will turn up in any criminal history background check, unless you are able to get your record sealed or expunged which I think only happens in cases where you were a minor offender and went through the juvenile system, or when a conviction is overturned on appeal or other extenuating circumstances that are fairly unusual.
It's a slightly misleading figure because it includes all the stock grants given in 2017. From the proxy statement:

> we calculated as actual salary paid to our employees for 2017 [...], actual bonus or sales commission earned by our employees in 2017, and the value of equity awards granted to our employees in 2017

Specifically, if you joined in 2017 the value of your entire initial stock grant was used. This skews the median quite a bit. For example, if I joined Facebook in 2017 at $150,000 and received a $400,000 RSU stock grant vesting over four years my median annual income for the purposes of these SEC calculations was $550,000 (even though most of that is in stock vesting over the next four years).
I've been flashed before. I found it an odd mixture of WTF and amusing.

Weird that the US deems it necessary to jail people for months just for some surprise nudity. Cultural differences, I suppose.
PostgreSQL 9.5 manual: "Skipping locked rows provides an inconsistent view of the data, so this is not suitable for general purpose work, but can be used to avoid lock contention with multiple consumers accessing a queue-like table."

MySQL 8.0 manual: "Queries that skip locked rows return an inconsistent view of the data. SKIP LOCKED is therefore not suitable for general transactional work. However, it may be used to avoid lock contention when multiple sessions access the same queue-like table."

Flattering (I wrote those words). Of course we borrow the SKIP LOCKED syntax from yet another database (though the idea is much older, under different names).
Waze is actually only one of the topics the article covers. But it’s hard to see what anyone can do. It’s arguably obnoxious to routinely route people on quiet residential streets to save a few minutes. However, they are public streets and experienced commuters might well do the same routing.
> Denying the humanity of a fetus isn’t denying the humanity of people...

That's a leap from my statement.

> All I’m doing is failing to put human life on a pedestal, while acknowledging the difference between what something currently is vs its potential.

You've only restated that vulnerability removes right to humanity.

> A fetus isn’t a person, it’s something with the potential to become a person. Biology and the law both recognize that, religion and sentiment don’t.

A fetus is a person who's not reached the stage where you can meaningfully communicate. Your argument assigns humanity to lucidity, which is ridiculous.

Additionally, biology doesn't recognise that "it’s something with the potential to become a person", biology merely explains the building blocks, process and method. To say otherwise is to really attempt to twist mere observation to suit your viewpoint.

>>that prevents you from changing a contract after accepting it but it doesn't prevent someone else from saying that they will no longer sign contracts at old rates.

When I refer to a contract, I'm referring to the smart contract that operates a platform, like a market.

A market is a persistent platform, so the rules encoded into a smart-contract based market when it's created will apply indefinitely.

>>The same would apply to anything involving cryptocurrencies with their wildly-fluctuating exchange rates which don't match the real money either side will need to use.

Yes, but the fee charged by the platform can be a fixed percentage of the transaction volume it facilitates, so it doesn't have to deal with exchange rates.
There are differences but they currently share the same platform right now so clearly they are not insurmountable.

It's possible over time the smaller platforms will evolve and lose their compatibility. But it's not a guarantee.
I would not be surprised if that were true.

Yeah, yeah, there is a special case that if the UB is not reachable then it's a no-op. That doesn't change the fact that writing correct non-trivial C code is practically impossible.
Still, you've got your facts wrong. Consider:

Mr. Gruber [yes, it's THAT Jonathan Gruber] found that when retirees in California began visiting their doctor less often and filling fewer prescriptions, overall medical spending fell. People did get sick more often, but treating their illnesses was still less costly than widespread basic care — in the form of doctors visits and drugs. ... As Dr. Mark R. Chassin, a former New York state health commissioner, says, preventive care “reduces costs, yes, for the individual who didn’t get sick.” [1]

You go on to state that the additional productivity of the person we saved also nets us additional savings. But the same article contradicts this notion as well:

The actual savings are also not as large as might at first seem. Even if you don’t develop diabetes, your lifetime medical costs won’t drop to zero. You might live longer and better and yet still ultimately run up almost as big a lifetime medical bill, because you’ll eventually have other problems. That would be an undeniably better outcome, but it wouldn’t produce a financial windfall for society.

You go on to suggest that medical professionals would not be wasting money on doing too many tests: "For any given test and set of circumstances under which it is administered there can be a cost benefit analysis."

That seems logical, but it's not how the real world works. People get emotional about the potential risks, and demand the tests even when there's not a clear indication. You might remember the hubbub a couple of years ago when it was suggested, based on historical evidence, that regular mammograms should be delayed a few years later than was currently the practice. But women's health advocacy groups raised such a hue and cry that the actual medical guidelines were not changed to follow the evidence.

With recent Mexican and Chinese immigration you now do get restaurants that are a taste of home, even in the northeast. Most of these are newer restaurants, with many patrons speaking Spanish or a Chinese language.

Eastern European food, however, is more challenging regarding authenticity once you get past the delicious dumplings. Not too many people want to go out of their way for boiled meats and cabbage, or fatty vinegary stuff in aspic. Egg salad on a hot day at the Latvian church picnic. Brrrr. I expect these cuisines to evolve the way food in the UK has, developing a new native cuisine.

The difference is that there is little political/military threat from France towards Canada.

I'm Polish, and thanks to the latin alphabet we're using, the country has it much easier to be close to the west. People have easier time learning English, and it eases the communication a lot.
If we were using cyrylic, the country would be naturally leaning more towards Russia - which, considering the history, wouldn't be good.

I don't know too much about Kazakhstan, but perhaps it's the same thing? The country trying to build moats between them and Russia?

If we were in a similar situation (that is - using cyrylic instead of latin), I be pro-change. A few billion in costs of such changes, even for a poor country, will produce a good ROI, considering greater independence and better international trade.

Not everything is solely about legality.
Learning to read/write Cyrillic is still a substantial, intimidating step. I felt a lot more comfortable in Turkey and Romania than in Bulgaria, just because the Latin alphabet meant I could at least read printed signs aloud and people could tell me what sign to look for.
Debian MySQL maintainer here.

We wanted to maintain both MySQL and MariaDB in Debian stable. However the Debian release team forced the removal of MySQL on the basis that MariaDB only would suffice. We disagreed with this but they overruled us.

mysql-server in Debian stable became a transitional package in Debian stable (only; this doesn't affect testing or unstable) in order to make the upgrade work correctly. It does force users with MySQL server to crossgrade to MariaDB server, and does lead to "mysql-server" being a misnomer in Debian stable.

"default-mysql-server" being MariaDB is also misleading, IMHO, but it's the best we could come up with because there isn't any other collective term that covers both MySQL and MariaDB.

We didn't want this, but it was forced upon us by the Debian release team. Sorry for the trouble. As others have said, we did our best to explain this in the release notes.

We continue to maintain both MySQL and MariaDB in Debian unstable, which remains free of this mess.
