I've seen examples of encrypted payloads being sent to various third parties on the internet

Do you mean sent via https or encrypted in JavaScript before transmission? If the former, that’s pretty par for the course.

it would be very time consuming to try and determine what that data actually is.

It would be easy for a researcher who wants to answer the question: what data is it?

JavaScript debugger + breakpoints.
It depends on where the slow market is relative to the bid-ask spread in the fast market.

If the slow market is outside of the bid-ask spread, then HFT will be happy to move the price to the bid-ask spread. So you're liquid in the direction that moves the price to where it needs to be and not liquid in the other direction.

If the slow market is inside of the bid-ask spread, then HFT is likely to be willing to buy/sell on the fast market and complete the other half of the trade on the slow market. That is, they don't snap up the slow order right away, but they will snap it up to complete trades. Getting a guaranteed trade is better than holding the stock and not trading. This gives liquidity in both directions.

The incentive to use this market for smaller orders is that you are likely to get a price somewhere between the bid-ask spread. I don't have recent data, but a decade ago the bid-ask spread for small stocks was around 2%, lowering to 0.6% for the top 20% of stocks. (As you go to the behemoths, the spread drops farther.)

I'm sure it is smaller today, but if you are a day trader, that spread is a hidden tax that is going to kill you over time.

Even if nobody used the slow market, HFT would guarantee that you get no worse than the spread on a market order. But when traders use the slow market directly, they bypass the HFT middleman and save themselves money.

There is now a new risk that needs to be mitigated by the business, that of its business being taken down for any reason at all - subject to the whims of a changing culture, and possibly even outside of the laws of the land one is in.

This will hopefully make folks think through the entire supply chain including cloud and SaaS providers.

AWS was always like renting an apartment, or even, a fully furnished apartment. At some point, you want your own house and land...

I hope that there will be a new impetus to replace the above with colocated servers that are just being managed, and by services that are sold for a period of time, and hosted by the applications themselves.

k8s might hopefully be used to build a more resilient infrastructure that can take these systemic shocks.

There could be good business for a new class of sub-contractors who would have templates to automate this for their clients.
They can break down rocks too.
Do you forget the lies that got the U.S. into the first and second Gulf War? The cover-up of the NSA surveillance state? The Vientam War? The Church and Pike committees? The lies covering up the excesses of the USSR (including the Holomdor)?

I do not subscribe to the notion that authoritative sources always lie, but the lies they do tell are by far the most damaging in terms of their cost in human life.

The only way to fight that is with freedom of speech. Yes, people will abuse it, but the cost is still absolutely worth it.

It results in what is referred to as "Attachment Disorder" and is generally considered the worst possible psychological state. Especially where it is "Reactive" (ie. the problem started because of CPS involvement, because of being separated from figures the child was attached to), the worst possible option.

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

Reality is that, certainly on average, CPS is worse than neglect, worse than abuse. Reality seems to be that what parent figures provide for children is simply a predictable, stable environment. It does not matter if said environment has violence (especially if it doesn't directly harm the child). If the child is well provided for (ie. even poverty or neglect to the point of irregular availability of food). The vast majority of cases, by the way, are neglect, which means in practice the child being left alone for longer periods of time (hours, not days). Needless to say, this is not going to seriously damage any child over the age of 3 or 4.

The same even with violence against a child. The not-so-common-but-considered-typical image of a father who gets drunk on fridays and then yells or even hits a child with flimsy excuses, but otherwise cares for them is just not going to do the damage even a single CPS placement does.

Just to be clear: none of those things are good for a child. But they do not prevent the formation of a stable adult. CPS and child placement (and especially re-placing them on average 14 times before they grow up) prevents the formation of a stable adult in something like 45-60% of cases.

I guess CPS just feels they "need to do something". The result of that need is tens of thousands of destroyed lives per year. But nobody can be blamed for doing nothing ...
Keep in mind that you do things to alleviate the possibility of "bugs"

When you purchase Steel it is purchased to a specification (such as minimum yield strength) if the steel fails to meet those specs the supplier can be held liable.

In software terms I suppose the equivalent would be purchasing a commercial library with support from vendor.

For major construction projects welds are inspected and singed off on, they may be tested as well.

Again in software terms equivalent would be code audit and test cases.

In construction there is a lot of inspecting stuff, signing off on it and certifying stuff. I think software people would go crazy if they had to deal with the same amount of paperwork.
My guess is that simosx is using the term "plant" in the strict/colloquial sense, not the either Plantae kingdom (so not including things like cyanobacteria).

What is the history here?
Agreed, marketing (and everyone, really) needs at least rough estimates. Software is notoriously hard to predict. As time goes on, estimates get updated as more is known about the problem and the org's ability to solve it. So, by definition the first estimate anyone makes at the beginning is the least reliable one, by a long shot, but it's something to start with that gets refined as time goes on.

I think where companies can get in trouble with software is when the initial rough estimate somehow gets blessed as the plan of record to cement in everyone else's critical path, and subsequent estimates are treated as engineering screwups rather than more informed predictions. I don't know what the solution is, because stuff like this can happen with everyone involved being super competent and having the best intentions. And sometimes there are engineering screwups, neither side is always blameless.

Power imbalances between organizations are where natural creative conflicts go bad. In a less healthy company, whichever org is on top politically tends to be blameless, whether it's fair or not, which ultimately hurts everyone's ability to do their best work because conflicts between orgs are less likely to be resolved based on what's best for the company or project as a whole. In ideal companies, orgs are balanced such that they can push back on each other for good reasons, but not for zero-sum, shit-rolling-downhill reasons. I'm pretty sure ideal companies only exist briefly or never though.
Well, before the internet, the analogous groups were the TV networks. Those networks were, for sure, likely to ban any of these groups, or if they did put a microphone in front of them, they edited the interview to make sure they looked bad.

But nobody tried to claim, that the three major TV networks did not have exceptional power. Of course they did.
Chemoautotrophs are understood to be the earliest form of life on Earth, but photosynthetic bacteria date back 3.4 billion years. Cyanobacteria show up in the fossil record some 700 million years later (oxygen producing photosynthetic bacteria) and 300 million years after that, oxygen existed in sufficient quantities in the atmosphere to appear in the geologic record.

I think this is a vital point. Estimates help narrow down what is important and what isn't.

Maybe you want features x, y and z. If it takes a day then X is worthwhile, if it's going to take a month don't bother. Z must be done so if that's going to take a long time we need to drop y.

One of the best product owners I've worked for would often ask for estimates and base plans and features from those. Some things would be easy technically and valuable, others harder and just a nice to have (but worth it if it only pushed things back a day).
If it said yes, how would you prove it wrong? How convincing must the on-screen suffering become for us to start wondering whether there is something there that actually feels pain?
And you raised your objection, and got an explanation. That should have satisfied your curiosity.

Doubling down to say "This sounds so far out", and continuing to argue, doesn't really indicate curiosity.
"The most likely explanation for the success of Medallion is that Rentech assigns ex post the best strategies to Medallion."

Everything I've read (and you obviously have to take it with a grain of salt) doesn't agree with this assessment. The core fund trades commodities and stocks/options in a pair format with short holding times. To make their public fund, they needed to adopt more scalable strategies which meant longer holding periods.

So it's not a matter of choosing/assigning ex post - they are fundamentally different approaches. They said up front that the public fund wouldn't replicate the internal fund. Whether people listened to them or not is another question.

I get that we should be skeptical, but by the same token I don't think you can says fraud is happening without any evidence. Yes, they had a tax case - but that was related to their derivatives contracts and the tax handling of them. Clearly they were wrong on that - and they've stopped using them - and still been up huge after that.

I'm just not clear why we should assume fraud just because they are successful. To me, it looks like tiny profits magnified by enormous leverage - but with holding periods and market neutral positioning to reduce risk.

This threat is already mitigated by service contracts. AWS pretty obviously broke contract here, and will almost certain suffer legal consequences for that.

Why they thought they could get away with it is unclear, but their rebuttle to Parler's claims is pretty weak.
It's better than forcing ideological tribes of people in to their own ghettos (platforms), which create monocultural cesspits.

Now imagine when you are too poor to have a bank account, your credit history prevents you from getting a credit card in the first place, or you don't have a permanent address to associate with a digital payment card.

> other people's poor behavior in a pandemic creates a measurable, deadly risk to the people who follow the guidelines.

How much of a risk, compared to all the other risks we all undergo every day?

Also, how much of the risk is not there if you really, truly follow the guidelines? I see a lot of people who might think they are, but they're not. They don't wear their masks properly, or they wear a loose weave cloth bandana or scarf instead of an actual mask. They don't actually social distance--for example, I routinely see people in the checkout line at the supermarket not even making use of the 6-feet-apart markings that the store has put on the floor. They don't avoid crowds. They don't minimize the time they spend in indoor spaces that aren't their home.

In other words, you don't need a hazmat suit to mitigate the risk. But you do need to pay attention to detail and understand what properly following the guidelines actually means.
New studies show Apple Watch can help detect Covid-19 before symptoms and tests
If that ‘revenue is not relevant’ logic holds true, then it follows that the $99/year annual fee is not relevant to why developers are not releasing extensions. Which negates the most popular (and unsupported) argument against Apple’s model. But if it’s not that fee, then what is it that keeps people from releasing extensions for Safari?

They are solving the same problem in a very different way.

They take away a lot of the tools that HFT uses to increase their edge, simplify the ordering structure, and try to make as many trades as possible to be between traders instead of the HFT market makers. But they have not fundamentally redone the structure of orders such that prices are guaranteed to move slowly at the cost of indefinite delays in execution.
My understanding is that the javascript in a web page executes in the client. How can the page owner obtain the video lists?
Well, if it was not, he was one of the first.

Seriously practical.

Having come from that era, watching this play out was interesting.

The Apple was simple, very practical. Other more complicated and advanced machines had custom silicon. Sound, graphics.

But, they often lacked utility, and the outcome was Apples being workstations.

A whole lot of code and hardware dev for other systems got done on Apples, which offered enough of the basics to cover most bases.

80 columns, fast disks, slots, easy interfacing, no interrupts or DMA in base system, 6 color graphics not just 4, etc...

The set of tradeoffs is admirable.

I use mine today for retro code tinkering and some hardware fun. I have it running at 16Mhz, (which frankly is stupid fast) with the 16bit 65816 in it just for kicks. And that is robust. I can turn a knob and dial the clock up or down never missing a beat. Weird and fun.

Bonus: Grand kids can experience Oregon Trail.

It’s not about that I don’t trust my company. I just don’t necessarily trust the software I need to use for a job.

For example if it has some device management software, or some VPN clients or whatnot installed, this increases the attack surface.

Also „leipert“-private might be boring for targeted attacks. But „leipert“-corporate might be interesting, if someone owns my private network OR my work computer, it might have an impact on the other.
I need to get a check list for the ever so popular criticisms of academia article. This one surely would hit plenty of boxes: scientists don’t pay attention to industry, researchers only care about grants, etc. It’s a lot of words just to say “they need bigger datasets”, which is also a check box.

The article ends by suggesting using GitHub. When I was a PhD student I recall open source projects being a standard data source for people who did software engineering research. But it’s not my field, so I’m not sure if effort estimation really has missed this.
I think everyone would benefit if we stopped using the phrase "free speech" because it consistently derails the conversation into a 1st amendment vs private companies argument. Which is a very tired argument at this point.

A better word for what's happening is "censorship" and society's willingness to allow organizations to censor their customers.
Absolutely. It's the same in case of climate change, easy to criticize other countries about their emissions when you've already had your industrial revolution. I mean, just look at this graph:

I also agree with your point that sometimes space achievements are used for jingoistic purposes. But if you see the bigger picture (which most people don't sadly) you realize that it is a net positive overall for science and humanity. The jingoistic aspect is just a consequence of political reality.
I would argue its more a function of "time".

Nobody in America is going to wait an hour for food outside of the high-end restaurants. So, anything with "caramelized onions" would need to prep and store that step with the associated degradation.

The exception was my favorite cheesesteak place (sadly now gone--the owners got old and retired). The owner literally had a row of chopped onions that stretched the length of the grill. As he cooked he would keep adding onions on the far right while moving the entire line of onions leftward--so the onions that got used actually had enough time to truly caramelize. Similarly for the steak, just much faster. When everything got to the far left (steak with cheese (people who want CheeseWhiz could go somewhere else thanks), onions, bun) his wife would assemble the full thing.

It was a thing of beauty to watch them work. And the cheesesteak was glorious.

And now I'm hungry and craving a cheesesteak that doesn't exist anymore. :(
"She held “seminars” in which she presented her view that Muhammad was indeed a child molester. Dominant Islamic traditions hold that Muhammad’s third wife, Aisha, was 6 at the time of their marriage and 9 at its consummation. Muhammad was in his early 50s. The Austrian woman repeated these claims, and the Austrian court ruled that she had to pay 480 euros or spend 60 days in the slammer. The ECHR ruled that Austria had not violated her rights."

> Due to its conciseness, Julia has mostly replaced showing pseudo-code on my slides.

This benefit is really underappreciated IMO — for a lot of "science" applications, the core part of the program should be readable by people who don't program in the language. In research papers, by people who want to understand the fine details of your algorithm, for example.

Julia gets closer to "executable pseudocode" than I would have thought possible.
I didn't actually go back to school for CS - I had a lot of CS classes in undergrad that gave me some of the OOP theory background, but after that has just been whatever I picked up on the job or to solve a problem on the side.

I also got a bit lucky when I was looking for my first fully-CS job in that my title was "automation engineer," so I was getting interest from recruiters thinking I was a _test_ automation engineer. That opened up the door, after that it was just sweet talking my way in and faking it till I made it, lol.
I make a living selling working code, but I agree. I think that, just like how monitoring needs to run at higher priority than actual production workloads, the understanding of programmers needs to be at a higher level than the understanding which is actually encoded in the actual production program.
