>More than that. It simply doesn't exist in any meaningful sense and it's a waste of time to even think about it.

The irony is it's actually a philosophy (a philosophy of science among several in particular) saying the above.

It's not anything scientifically observed itself that says that when something can't be measured "it simply doesn't exist in any meaningful sense and it's a waste of time to even think about it".
I can see how my comment could be read that way, because it's kinda what I'm saying. The parent comment heavily implies that preserving culture, via the physical existence of artistic works, is worth more than a human life because it is just oh-so-important. If you really think your life is worth sacrificing to save these artifacts, well, I disagree. What they represent doesn't go away just because they do.
I'm just happy to see a positive article.. I see so much political or tech news, I don't get much on the positive side, generally speaking.
In my county my understanding is that public school teachers are de facto not allowed to give failing grades if the student turned in literally anything. Like just put your name at the top and you will get passed. Charter schools have no such rule, so that is at least one way 'undesirables' are weeded out. I'm not sure the public school policy of passing out passing grades for free is providing a better education though.
I agree that it is strange.

> Market makers can indeed have clients

Market makers generally don't have clients.

Once upon a time, I was a big-bank algorithmic equity derivatives market maker. We only had counterparties. Sometimes, those counterparties were our own bank's sales-trading desks. We were isolated from them, in terms of supervision and information access. (The sales-traders had clients.)

I think that the plot devices involving terrorism were the most prescient.

When I first saw the film as a young teenager in the 80s, I was fascinated that the terrorists philosophy or demands were never clearly defined beyond "anti-government". Terrorism was portrayed as a regrettable but normal part of life.

Perhaps people who lived through actual terrorist bombing campaigns in British cities can relate to this more, but for me it was a crazy idea that this sort of thing could be normalized to any extent.

And yet here we are.

YouTube shows 9/11 link on live videos of unrelated Notre Dame fire
I like the concept. I’m not sure their stats check out. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in. The article suggests a lot of the kids here were bottom percentile performers on standardized tests (literal 1th percentile).

I do wonder if the test is valid at scores that poor. Could it be that the bottom percentile is just the kids who guessed randomly and had bad luck, as opposed to, say, the ninth percentile who guessed randomly and had good luck? How likely would it be for a bottom percent student to stay bottom percent with no special schooling? I really just don’t have a good sense for what it means to strive for 10th percentile performance on tests like these.
> It is a violation of your fiduciary duty to the client

It is a violation of being put in a position of confidence with respect to privileged information. Front-running clients is always bad. But one need not have a fiduciary relationship with a counterparty to front run them. Practically speaking, however, when non-client relationships involve front-running, we usually go after them as insider trading. (For example, suppose I trade for a hedge fund. I hear my PM is going to buy X. So I buy X. One, I front ran my own shop's order. But two, I also violated their confidence.)

The Federal Reserve in the early 1900s is the earliest I came across in wikipedia, which inspired the question.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedwire
In the early 1900s, settlement of interbank payments was often done by the physical delivery of cash or gold. By 1915, The Federal Reserve Banks began to move funds electronically. In 1918, the Banks established a proprietary telecommunications system to process funds transfers, connecting all 12 Reserve Banks, the Federal Reserve Board and the U.S. Treasury by telegraph using Morse code. Starting in the 1920s up until the 1970s, the system remained largely telegraphic; however as technology improved, they began to make the shift from telegraphy towards telex, then to computer operations and then to proprietary telecommunications networks.[5]

I know of at least one very large customer where management of the VPN appliance and firewall controlling access of Wipro vendors was outsourced... to Wipro.
I was lucky to visit back in 2009. It’s so much more intimate in real life than I would have expected. Tragic to see it go up in flames. Heart goes out to Paris.
"India’s third-largest IT outsourcing company — was dealing with a multi-month intrusion from an assumed state-sponsored attacker.
"Both sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Wipro’s systems were seen being used as jumping-off points for digital fishing expeditions targeting at least a dozen Wipro customer systems."

Well, I suppose it's the step you'd expect but a state-actor engaging in a broad fishing trip still seems like a new thing. Can we expect whatever state will be installing their official botnet in whatever country next?

I was obsessed with flight simulators in middle school and high school. These included Microsoft Flight Sim, Flight Unlimited, Fly!, Falcon 4.0, and many more. So much so that I ended up taking up flying lessons and having my first solo flight on my 16th birthday (the earliest legal date I could do so at the time).

What I learned is that flight simulators can be a huge benefit. I basically learned everything in the simulator that I was later taught in the ground school of a private pilot course (which made those hours really boring haha!). You can learn weather, instruments, aircraft systems, etc.

The one thing that is really hard to grasp however from a simulator is the feel of flying an aircraft. I had a horrible habit of overcontrolling the aircraft - and it was the direct result of my many hours of flight sim experience. Even when using force feedback joysticks, etc.. there is still going to be quite a learning curve in a real plane.

So enjoy the flight simulators. But in my opinion I wouldn't get to concerned about how realistic the flight mechanics are. Because they are the least important thing you'd learn from a flight simulator. But that is just my opinion.

You're assuming every blog is cared about by its owner, what if it's just the readers?
The OP was referring to the person affected by the front-running, not the front-runners. "Picking up pennies in front of a steam-rollers" is from Taleb, and refers to short-term traders who buy/sell a large amount on margin (or backed by loans), and hold it for a very short period. Since the market tends to go up on more days than it goes down, on average these guys make money (before taxes and trading fees). The steam-roller is the black swan event, the large, unpredictable event that will drop the price faster than you can get out, causing you to lose more money than in the years leading up, and quite possibly bankrupting you due to margin calls or the loans. The OP is saying that the only way someone front-running you causes you problems is if you are doing many short-term trades, because otherwise the percentage you lose is too small to worry about. If the front-running loss (which is small) is a large percentage of your gain, then you must be picking up pennies, and if you are doing that, you are risking being flattened by Taleb's black swan steamrollers.

> The 90 percent of I Promise students who met their goals exceeded the 70 percent of students districtwide, and scored in the 99th growth percentile of the evaluation association’s school norms, which the district said showed that students’ test scores increased at a higher rate than 99 out of 100 schools nationally.

It sounds like almost all the students met their individual goals which means they are making progress no matter what percentile they started in. They're not out of the woods, but this is a population that previously had only ever seen bad results from the school system. It's a small experiment, but it's hard to spin the early results as anything but a good thing.

It is a bad thing if you want to have strong universal public education.

Public schools in the US are already strongly segregated by income and race since schools are typically a municipal government concern.

Charter schools add an additional layer of segregation. Now you have schools that can divert public funds, but don't have to meet the same standards, services and accessibility standards as public schools. They can play games with expulsions, special ed classifications and lottery admissions to get the student population they want.

Charters filter out students and and funds from the public school system to create another tier of schools, leaving the worst performers and students with the most special needs in public schools.

Meanwhile charter schools teaching positions are frequently non-union with lower pay and worse benefits than public schools, eliminating what traditionally was a stable rung on the middle class ladder.

Throw in the businesses that smell profit in schools with less public accountability - including real estate, outsourced operations and services - and you have serious regression in public education if you ask me.

The "duty" part is why this definition doesn't apply well to this case. Arbitrageurs here are working with the same public information of all other participants, and have accepted no obligations towards the folks whose orders are informing them. Although this is clearly a structural issue with the exchanges that participants should be aware of, the term "malfeasance" is being thrown around a bit loosely in the paper.
The engineers aren't blameless. They clearly fucked up as well. There is plenty of blame to go around.

But the managers should have carefully read every word that was placed in front of them. They should have asked questions if anything was at all unclear. This was, ultimately, their responsibility and their decision. They chose to rush it, and people died.

And I'm just baffled as to why they didn't send someone out to inspect the damage visually. The Columbia wasn't carrying a remote arm to quickly and safely maneuver an astronaut to the observation site, but the crew were trained and equipped for emergency EVA. It would have been a minor risk, but nothing compared to the danger of reentry failure.
I work on a market making team at a major investment bank, and I can back this up. There is a very clear and serious separation between those who trade bank funds and those who trade client funds. We are not allowed to know anything about their positions, accounts, strategies, etc. (and vice versa).

Not only are there very stringent access controls in place to prevent cross-contamination, but there are physical boundaries as well. When the guy who runs the business side of our team started collaborating on a project with a team that did client trading, he had to move off our trading floor and into an office, and we had to revoke this access to, well, pretty much everything. He wasn’t allowed to go near our traders’ desks. It stayed that way until the project ended.

There are plenty of reports of charter schools pushing out low-performing students to get the student population they want. Labeling students with disabilities and claiming they don't have enough services to support them is very common. Unequal punishment leading to expulsion is another.

Another common tactic is to play games with the lottery/application process to get the student population they want.

Dyalog uses non ASCII symbols which are really cool to me and make the primitives very easy to learn. Check out tryapl.org to get a feel for it. You can also download a trial version and there is a free book. They have decent library support and full .NET support too as well as easy parsing for CSV, JSON, XML...etc. They have Dyalog APL notebooks, database access, multiplatform support, parallel and tacit features...etc. If it wasn't $1k a year for a license (honestly pretty reasonable) I'd use it pretty often. It just feels like they love their product and support it from the annual coding competitions, monthly webinars...etc.

J uses ASCII symbols and has a small community of very intelligent users that are stats smart, software smart, math smart...etc. It has great bindings to Lapack, built in graphs (well Dyalog does too) and tutorials called labs. The community is much smaller though and it doesn't have any parallel primitives. J is free to use, but the Jd columnar database is commercial, but very reasonably priced.

Honestly, both are awesome, fun, powerful, and plain cool.
