I believe the book's been out of print for sometime. I've no idea if that's why you were downvoted. I wouldn't post a link to a pirated anything. That pdf is linked from a ton of sites and the site I found it on seemed like a reputable site, though I don't remember which it was at the moment.
Expensive in what way?

I assume you mean "trading on margin". Swaps are custom contracts and not something average people are doing. IB definitely supports trading on margin and has one of the lowest rates around to do so.

IB is definitely the choice for someone who wants to have real market access and tools at their fingertips.
Margin seems pretty expensive too and AFAIK they auto liquidate you rather than letting you meet the call. That's not great in both dimensions.

Given the wide deployment of nats, necessary because of the shortage of ipv4 addresses, the need for publicly routable ips for client addresses goes way down.

A few years ago, there was a mad push to have public IPv6 addresses because “soon” customers would be unable to reach your servers since they were only going to be given IPv6 addresses. Clearly, that hasn’t been the case.

This is going to be even more interesting if the EU keeps pushing privacy laws. Are you even allowed to trace productive unrestricted HTTP calls anymore?

I find this exciting from a problem-solving point of view, because for one, this is potentially a hard, ground-shifting problem. And on the other hand, languages like scala, haskell or rust have the tools to make this kind of requirements simple. There's an interesting time coming.

IP addresses are not pii. (Maybe personal data under the gdpr, but they are not pii.)

Sounds like the business model is to accumulate a base of customers and then to sell the business to some kind of Bank of Wells Fargo who will then proceed to phase out the no-fee service.
Personally I feel like many millenials (of which I am also one) just have too many distractions we can indulge in at home by ourselves now (internet, social media, youtube, netflix, video games), so there is no boredom to quench to force yourself out of your house to do stuff. For me, turning off autoplay on youtube and netflix, selling my video games, cancelling cable TV, quitting Facebook and Reddit have all had a net positive impact on my life. Of course there are still people in my generation who do go out and do stuff and you can be one of them too if you choose to be.
It's expensive in literally every way from commissions to margin rates.

I meant swaps specifically. I know that they offer margin trading.

How is "my business model depends on it" not a bona fide legitimate purpose for information collection? Nobody is forcing anyone to patronize a business that relies on data collection for profitability.

I'm extremely skeptical of regulation that interferes with consensual deals between economic actors. You want transparency? Fine. But you don't get to randomly outlaw certain entire classes of business.

The used to be plenty of sites with great usability, in the style the FOX Toolkit website[1] still uses. Everything you expect is listed in a simple static menu to the left, requiring no hovering, no scrolling, no additional navigation. It's not trying to guide you to what they're guessing most people want (while hiding the things you actually want) with gigantic colorful buttons.

Today's "usable" websites seem to consist mostly of gigantic irrelevant photos, huge expanses of whitespace, and navigation consisting of buggy JavaScript puzzles for the user to trick into showing correctly.

Hardware breakpoint support is also for execution and, oddly, the x86 IO port space reachable by the "in" and "out" instructions.

Using an int3 has some problems. It can be seen by the code, which may change behavior. For example, a self-checksum would fail. The int3 will affect all threads, while the hardware breakpoint can be made to affect just one thread.

When the regulation does not apply

Your company is service provider based outside the EU. It provides services to customers outside the EU. Its clients can use its services when they travel to other countries, including within the EU. Provided your company doesn't specifically target its services at individuals in the EU, it is not subject to the rules of the GDPR.

IANAL etc
Yes.

This is a problem we have in France and Germany where the law requires you to have everything relevant in the native language. While I love my language, I find this particularly dumb because we are just making it difficult for us to get up to speed.

I know some engineers who do not speak English (or their English is poor) and they always yell when there is a mail or documentation in English. They are also whimpering of never being promoted. I think they expect our customers to work French to accommodate them.

Software engineering is in English, this is a fact of life and there is no other choice to speak of if you want to progress.
How much Americans spend on Uber and Lyft in 32 major cities
Well, someone that believes vaccines cause autism or in flat Earth based on imperfect evidence, if they're being honest there should some more convincing, less imperfect evidence capable of changing their minds. Of course, we can certainly think of reasons why it wasn't as perfectly convincing as we initially thought, but I think anyone who starts changing the goalposts realizes they're on the back foot at this point.

After doing this two ore more times, you can easily make the argument that it's just simpler to abandon that model, or to suggest that perhaps they believe what they do not for empirical reasons, but for some other reasons (like being part of a community they like).
What privacy? Knowing that user dhsidhujdjdowhdyyehheis is using my website is not an infringement on your privacy!

Why do you think you can control what I do with data you send to me? Don't send me data I'd you don't want me to have it.
GDPR has the concept of backups and their expiration windows covered.

I'll pick an example from my work. Data can be deleted from the active set, at which point it takes extra effort to retrieve it. (If you can't SELECT it anymore from the warm slaves, it's gone.) But as long as you can make a point-in-time-recovery from your backups, the data is still present in the inactive set. Using the inactive set requires, by definition, extra effort.

So you need to state that fact in the data protection/retention policy, AND put reasonable technical enforcement mechanisms ("controls") in place to ensure that backups are expired and fully deleted after a given retention period. The older your unexpired backups get, the less valuable they should become.

I appreciate that, but your story is a lot less valuable than the modern research you mentioned that would hopefully provide some data and some kind of mechanism. Otherwise yours is just another one of millions of “secret and super simple cure!” anecdotes that abound on the internet.

10x is real, and the way it is achieved is by making a key insight which results in requiring only 10% of the work to be done to get the required results. The actual work then gets done at the normal 1x rate.

This of course is impossible at companies which don't allow the flexibility for these people to stretch their wings. A big part of increasing a company's productivity is giving everyone the possibility to do this so you can uncover those hidden 10x-ers and put them in architectural roles.
NAT is an annoyance. Peer-to-peer gaming or voicechat becomes laggy, or doesn't work at all. With the popular internet becoming more and more centralised, maybe it doesn't matter so much to the average end user, but there will come a point where people notice that gaming is better on ISP A than on ISP B even if you don't know exactly why.

I feel almost the same, although after trying to force vim on myself for a week I found that I missed the basic motion commands (moving across words and lines, deleting words and lines, etc.). It does feel faster to not have to move my right hand to somewhere else to move around in my code. Fortunately just about every modern IDE and editor has some kind of vim emulation so I can get the best of both worlds!
> I'm pretty sure that, the more we learn about how well advertising works, the less money people will be willing to pay for it.

That sounds like a statement from someone not very familiar with advertising.

Minimally it's contrary to the agency model & its incentives. A lot spend (the majority?) goes through that model, and it's not likely to change any time soon. And if anything GDPR, will increase it.

That said, even as measurement & attribution improves, the reality is that the effect will be shift to spend around. The better an advertiser can identify waste, they better they can redeploy that spend. Because that improves the ROI, the less it hurts the margin, and the more it makes sense for them to spend.
I'll play the devil's advocate and say that I'm actually disappointed by this development. A very long time ago when AdSense was young I was thrilled by the idea that instead of being bombarded by stupid ads designed to cater to morons people (including myself) will be getting relevant ads - ideally, ads about stuff that I am actually willing to buy right now. Kinda like legilimency. Too bad that this will be impossible for a long time to come now.

I sincerely don't believe you have researched your history well enough; and I'm trying to sound as nice as possible when pointing out this fact.

You don't just throw in entire civilizations as having racist views (at least in the terms that we think of today, according to skin color). AFAIK the Chinese did consider anyone living outside Mainland China as "barbarians" but to a great extent, it was true (Turkic, Mongols living on the border etc.). They considered Ancient Indians in high regard (specifically I believe due to the Buddha being born in India) and the many Chinese travelers through India have left a well documented account of their travels which are one of the most important sources for historic event during this time.

Japan has mostly been a self-contained country, occasionally fighting with Chinese until the Meiji Restoration and the Rise of the Japanese Armed Forces, which was late 19th century. One could credibly argue the racist views they picked up were as a direct result of aping the Western Powers that held similar views during this time period.

I'm not familiar enough with Nepalese history to even know what you are talking about.

Modern Racism is certainly a European invention, specifically brought about by European colonial interests.
There isn’t any real difference. It is just a difference in wording. Usually in the US we say apartment to mean a unit in a larger building that you are renting and condo means the same unit but you own it.
This also happens heavily with repatriation for any unexpected reason. I'm trying to find the document on it, but there are pretty serious studies about re-entering society after a major cultural shift, with many of the difficulties relating to difficulty connecting with the regular population in regards to the experiences you had abroad since most lack the frame of reference. The unexpected part of it just is a shock to your system and it can take months before you acclimate back to your native environment just due to all the strange expectations one has.

I was forcibly repatriated due to a visa issue a few years ago, and I feel into a deep depression as a result. I was not a pleasant person, and I couldn't figure out why I was so miserable. It never occurred to me that, after having traveled and worked across the globe, that the simple fact of an unexpected trip home would be the source of a huge wave of depression. I definitely burnt a few bridges as a result of this, most of which I don't think I can repair.

The State Department has a very good page on this, dubbing it "Reverse Culture Shock" [1] I remember reading over this page and being amazed as to how succinctly what I was experiencing had been put into words, and it hit me very hard, especially since overall I felt I had acclimated well to life abroad in a non-English speaking country. Having all of that hard work just suddenly stripped away and being forced back into a place that no longer felt like a home for me was very hard, and it weighs heavily on me even today.

That lack of connection between people is incredibly devastating, and the GP post about re-entry is quite true, in my experience.

On the other hand it's always bleeding edge.
It's funny because as humans, we always try to improve things since we are dissatisfied with imperfection.

But we tend to make simple things very complex in order to make them perfect.

The complexity then becomes the problem.

And we are back where we started for another attempt at perfection.

The wheel goes round and round.
>Never did we only make websites just "because it was fun" any more or less than we do now.

The early internet was incredibly frivolous. Commercial activity was completely banned on ARPANET and NSFNET. SSL didn't come along until 1995. There was a brief but significant period before the first browser wars and the dot-com bubble, when lots of people were interested in this new internet thing but nobody knew what it was for.

I don't want to return to those days, but it's hard to overstate the extent to which the internet was just a toy for geeks.
