I find that hard to believe. If your prediction is wrong any of the time then surely microfluctuations could have chance to revert or move back the other way.

I guess if all you're doing is responding to a value before others have chance to that in theory it's possible you lose 100%; but that seems to require all traders to be lock-stepped on a trading tick.

Can you explain further what I'm missing.

Why aren't trades locked. Is more than, say, 1s resolution really increasing fluidity or making more capital available or is it just a means to extract money from wealth generating activities of others?

Backing this up, here's my personal journey:
I had back pain for a few years that has been basically gone for six months. A combination of these helped:

* daily inversion (Teeter Gravity Boots on a pull-up bar—I actually pull down on the door frame while inverted for extra decompression)

* daily yoga (at home, from YouTube videos)

* using a standing desk most of the time

* Rolfing about once every eight weeks (type of massage focused on aligning fascia. It's pricey and a little pseudoscience-y but actually works really well)

* occasional targeted sports massage (if I'm crying, I know it's good)

If there's one thing of all those that's made the most difference, it's inversion. I feel so tall now. Seriously, invest in an inversion table or inversion boots if it's safe for you to do this exercise.

My posture is still not where I want it to be, but it's much better than it used to be. I still get tight in the neck (likely due to poor sleep posture). I had chronic pain in my left foot (likely plantar fasciitis) that disappears but comes back about once every two weeks. Both have gotten much better with some targeted yoga exercises, but it's a journey.

I'm slowly going through the book 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back by Esther Gokhale (https://www.amazon.com/Steps-Pain-Free-Back-Solutions-Should...). The author studied posture in industrial vs. non-industrial societies, and she concluded that most pain is not inevitable. We have just forgotten about the importance of posture in industrialized societies. The book gives you eight sessions to practice primal posture for sleeping, standing, and sitting. I'm thinking about investing $400 in the Gokhale Method in-person course.

I now prioritize flexibility over strength. 20-40 minutes of yoga per day is a large commitment, but it's worth it. I'm still basically as strong as I was when I did CrossFit, even though my "exercise" is limited to yoga, basic bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and inverted sit-ups, and long, meditative walks.

Finally, I make some lifestyle choices around posture. For example, always getting an aisle seat for flights longer than 3 hours, so I can easily get up to stretch and walk around. Choosing a more-supportive chair at a restaurant over a slouchy booth. Not reading in bed often.

If you have back pain, maybe something here will be worth trying to you. Keep at it!

I'm in India and work in the tech sector, but I've rarely seen cutesy drawings in presentations or trainings. Most of them I have seen are dull standard PowerPoint bullet points. At least the larger companies, both Indian and foreign, don't seem to be into it. Animations and garish graphics could be found on many websites, including the various government maintained sites.
Maybe they just grew up with Windows 95 where switching off and on solved 99% of issues.

> Are you a physicist? Not trying to be snarky.

Yes, I've studied and done physics research (I have yet to finish my degree, but I've completed all of the physics topics). (My research topics were on astroseismology and non-linear optics -- not related to SR or GR, but we went through the derivations and reasoning of SR in class.)

> I think GR is at Newton's level.

I think you've misunderstood what I meant by "people over-complicate Einstein's work". My point wasn't that Einstein is somehow inferior to Newton, it was that a large part of Einstein's work is actually incredibly simple (compared to how it is pitched) which to me makes it all the more genius.

> GR came out of the blue, it wasn't strictly required to explain anything important back then.

The core idea behind GR came from thought experiments trying to understand how SR might be extended to non-inertial frames. In many ways this is the most obvious thing to consider after you've come up with SR: "what if we start accelerating?"

Also, SR similarly wasn't required to explain anything important. Einstein was thinking very deeply about what does it mean to "measure" something, and the first section of his paper was discussions of synchronized clocks and how they relate to measurements (possibly the furthest thing from a "real" problem you can have).

> then a huge, incomprehensible (to me) mental leap to manifolds and tensors, and the Einstein equation.

In Einstein's case, he had quite a bit of help with the mathematics (again, not to detract at all -- but we should separate the mathematical derivation from intuition). Intuition is the driving force in physics (with mathematics fleshing out what the logical conclusion of an intuition must be), and so I find discussing the intuition to be far more critical when talking about physical theories.

The core genius was the realisation that acceleration changes how light beams look to observers -- and the intuition that acceleration must have an equivalence to gravity. Neither of these things are complicated, and you could explain them to anyone who has seen a projectile or stood in an elevator. But the conclusion you come to is far from obvious.

And that, to me, is the beauty of physics. Obviously the intuition is just the first step, and there is plenty of brilliance in all of the manifold and tensor equations (it's definitely above my pay-grade), but I think that over-hyping the mathematics isn't quite right either.

> It's hard to compare it to Newton, bc Newton also had to invent Calculus, but it's up there.

That is effectively what I was saying. Newton had Principa Mathematica and in many ways pioneered the mathematical viewpoint that we use in physics today.
Presumably they just dump your review.
once you peek behind the curtain it's just as mundane as anything else

So much of interesting computation is just matrix manipulation/linalg under the covers. Which is pretty cool actually: it means the skills are very transferrable, which it turns means it is worthwhile going deep.

This is a breath of fresh air compared to most sorts of computing, where the skill really is "memorize all the workarounds to the bugs", and all the time you know as soon as the next version comes out, all that is obsolete, so you try to avoid wasting too much time learning it.

I really think this is how Stallman thinks. As far as I know, he's never mentioned the words "deontic logic" in writing, but I get the impression he believes he's attempting to give a formal logical argument for morally obligatory behavior.

Aside from the hassle involved with using only free software, I think one of the things holding him back is that he's much better at math/comp sci/logic than he is at social skills, and he's not especially suited to being the leader of a popular movement.
Even if you did lose 1% of customers because of 100ms delay; that could be a good thing.

The kind of customer who would change their mind about purchasing something because of 100ms delay may not be the kind of customer that you'd want to do business with anyway.

If 100ms is all it takes to put this customer off; maybe it means that they didn't really want to buy that thing to begin with... That kind of customer is probably more likely to get buyer's remorse, to file a complaint, require follow-up and demand a refund.

My point here is that it's silly to just look at statistics as black-and-white good or bad and pretend that they tell a complete story.

> and you're absolutely sure nobody else will ever need to look at or maintain your code

By "nobody else" you really mean "other people with the same mindset who aren't willing to invest some time in getting used to perl syntax". Thing is that modern javascript is just as incomprehensible to sysops/devops people who're not familiar with the new JS syntax. You come from one world and think that's the "normal", they come from the other and expect that everyone already knows perl as it is half bash, half C. And in the end it's really much more about how much time did you spend working in it, than in one language being so much clearer than the other.
All of these points are brought up a lot, but none of them are really valid. Cargo bikes (with electric assist, if you wish) can haul a tremendous amount of cargo or multiple kids. And weather is really only a problem if you're badly equipped. Get a hardshell jacket and some rainpants, and rain is no longer a problem. Get a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat against the cold (maybe some warm leggings if it gets really cold). And people not knowing how to behave on icy roads is a major problem if that person is steering a car. On a properly equipped bike, not so much.

> but everybody talks about electric cars.

Everyone talks about it because that's where the market is.

If you think scooters and electric bicycles are the future, you should liquidate all your assets and start up a scooter/electric bicycle business and if your instincts are right, then you are a billionaire.

You might want to look into what customers want first though. Survey after survey ( in both cities, suburbs and rural areas ) show that americans want big cars - even for the last mile.

And good luck trying to get new yorkers to embrace scooters or electric bicycles when half the year is either extremely humid and hot or dry and freezing.
Yes indeed. Hopefully with the jdk modularization (Project Jigsaw) done and out and GA, efforts will finally pick up steam on those modernization projects.

The conclusion that sites installing the Classic Editor won't adopt to Gutenberg has a logical flaw. The Classic Editor is also used for sites, that are not "ready" for Gutenberg because it uses plugins that haven't gone through a full compatibility tests or where the site owner decided not to jump on the first version of WordPress 5.0 and waits until the kinks are out, say until 5.0.2 or 5.0.3. So there might be a lot more installs of the Classic Editor plugin coming, just because of this normal hesitance to jump on a new software feature out of the gate.

The "bubbles are evil" thing is a bad "received idea" that's going around.

Notice the high percentage of people who came to their beliefs via Youtube and 4chan, etc. It's more appealing for a normal person to visit a website that contains both racist claptrap and something else, than it is to be bombarded by nothing but racist claptrap.

Bubbles are the solution, not the problem. The evil thing about social networks today is they make it too easy to request a cake recipe, but wind up with a David Duke speech.

Free speech is an extremely popular cultural ideal in America. However, there is a distinction the courts have made over the years that prohibits a call to action for a violent act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action

ISIS recruitment obviously violates this. If the right wing propaganda violates this, it is also illegal.

I also don't think America has (or believes it has) a right-wing terrorism problem. Sure, any bit of terrorism is a problem, but there seems to be about 20 murders a year attributed to right-wing terrorism in a country of 300+ million people. (If you live in a country of 15 million, that would be like 1 person/year). For comparison, cities like Chicago will have 20 people murdered in one week in the summer.

My point is just that you can't ask the American people to part ways with one of their most cherished political ideals, to fight a problem which is not viewed as much of a threat.

500ms is a lot of time for both customer and vendor. In questioning whether these 'millisecond timings' make a difference to revenue it helps to think of how it feels at the other end of the transaction, as a customer.

500ms sadly is a lot of time if you are trying to buy tickets for Glastonbury. Click a fraction of a second too late and your name is not down. Same with eBay, click a fraction of a second too late and someone else gets that vital bit of junk you thought you needed.

Last year when crypto-ponzi-schemes were all the rage the pump and dump schemes gave people that were in on the scam different levels of access.

In one scheme if you brought a few 'friends' in to share the wealth then you would get the notification of when to buy a little bit earlier. If you brought 150 of your 'friends' along then you would get the message a whole three seconds earlier. If you brought 500 to the party then you would get the supreme advantage of getting the message an incredible 3.5 seconds earlier.

500ms really determined if you ended up 'lambo to the moon' or a 'bag holder'. Funny. Most of the people in on this were just kids in their mum's basement on whatever internet connection was available. Nonetheless there was a considerable premium on 500ms which you would not think would be that big a deal given the other latencies in the system.

Networking as in Social Networking or computer networking.
This is also a problem with twitter and reddit too. It's one group of extremists on twitter and reddit pushing another group of extremists to other sites.

Lets not pretend that twitter and reddit are any less toxic and extremist ( especially the political material ).

That's what one sided censorship gets you. Extremist echo chambers. It's not just the far right. It's the far left, the vegans, atheists and any other extremes.
I have nothing to add, other than that yes, recently I noticed an increase in challenges. I do use a VPN. I'm not entirely sure I'm not just imagining it, but it certainly seems to be the case.

I think there is a lot of reason for moralistic criticism of excel.

> That would make sharing and reproducibility just as easy as easy as getting them to switch out their complete toolchain

Reproducibility is about reading as much as it is getting the right number. Excel hides the operations from the reader, so that there could be a cell X182that has the key operation that you never area able to trace back.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-04-18/faq-reinh...

But I totally agree that an excel spreadsheet is the most popular and easiest to learn programming language on the planet. That's why I mentioned ipython notebooks above. Excel is great because you can enter something and immediately see your results in front of you, which is something that jupyter does as well. But we definitely need to draw more from excel's UI and workflow if we want people to switch to those tools.

> But I have doubts that unwillingness to share code & data is actually a technical problems, instead of a lack of incentives/embarrassment of sharing ones' awful code/dreams of patents future/privacy issues.

That's true. But at the very least internal use of plain text and git would be immediately helpful for collaboration and project management (branching, code reviews etc.). I think you underestimate how unwieldy a project like this can get very quickly.

> Last time I tried Julia, about every second package had a specific version that it required, and very few of them shared their preferences.
