Sure:

1. Data set - order book of your chosen stock exchange. Events being streamed in at rates up to 1Gb/s [1]. This is the entire set of actions affecting the order book - bids, offers, cancellations, adjustments, etc. - it's huge. If you want to get fancy - most do - you would typically pull in several of these feeds (or subscribe to a consolidated feed) containing several exchanges, and look to arb any price/book inefficiencies.

2. Actions - given the changes to the order book, figure out how you need to change your positioning to make money. Time is everything here - steps here are counted in tenths of milliseconds, and overall response times in low ms. HFT firms even try to minimise cable lengths within the colocated datacentres to shave the time to response down even further.

3. Effectiveness - if you didn't blow up, and if so, if you made money - typically you'd examine intraday PnL volatility, returns, etc. and assess yourself on those and other metrics.

SAS70 -- that depends who you sell to I guess. Every major client we have that will put a bit of data on our servers asks about things like SAS70, physical security, environmental factors like power backup, disaster protection etc. etc. Mind you, I can't say for sure they'd not do business with us if we didn't have good answers, but SAS70 is something a big company cares about.
It's ad hominem if dhechols' point was that a scientist's work should be ignored if he/she also holds religious beliefs. That's not how I read it. I see no fallacy in simply pointing out a disparity between scientific reasoning and (unscientific) beliefs.
Yes I agree with your first statement.But then IMO one doesn'nt need to propose a mechanism for a phenomena in order to prove that the phenomena exists. Just statistically significant positive results balanced against a control group is enough.

The most useful thing about it is you can jump between the various views it offers, across multiple tables, and it maintains the state of each view so well that it's an absolute pleasure to use.

Maybe, you'd get bored, I suppose. Give yourself 15 solid years to scratch all your itches. Then, what? You made a 3-axis milling machine with CAD/CAM. Now, robots are "meh." You made SimStructure. Now control systems are "meh". You made an operating system with compiler and shit-loads of little things. Meh.

Now, you feel stupid. The cake is a lie.

A faculty position right after finishing the PhD? Isn't it a bit too early to retire so soon?

I am in germany, so my experience may not compare. But at my institute we have many international postdocs. As far as I see it, there is NO way to get a faculty position without an international research record. Some of our postdocs get a professorship though, but it may be in Korea or China, never in Europe or in the United States so far.

When I thought about my career during my PhD time, I felt like it was a one way ticket to think about science positions only. They were very rare and the competition is hard. What is to gain except a mediocre salary for a lifetime? At least in Europe it is also tough to go back from a research institute and work for a business again.

So I decided to develop software (I am a physicist). That is closer to my interests than science. I finally landed in space projects and write scientific software, have free access to great data (that no scientist in the world can see so early) and I can really focus on my work. The professors, on the other hand, spend their day giving and preparing lectures, organizing money for the research and don't have time to do some research themselves.

There are always ways to go. If one way is tough, it will most likely remain tough all the way. It opens the mind to think about alternatives and this chance should be taken, imho.

Great one. I would love to have something like this for Hamburg, Germany as well. Or for the sake of [insert preferred deity here] for every city I have/want to travel to. Imagine sitting in the tube, watching the station you have to change on your smartphone and being able to find the shortest way.

Would be great.

One idea though: Imagine, you could show the normal start/end of a train on these maps, than you could decide beforehand, where in the train to sit, to reach the ideal exit.
Don't you mean a ->federation<- ?

Switzerland is a confederation. Its 26 states have a lot of power, through the senate, state majority on national votes as well as sovereign areas like state taxes, education, state traffic. However, within boundaries, the Swiss national parliament can overrule state parliaments any day (and national people votes can overrule pretty much anything anyway).
BUT if we had consistent poor performance for some vendor in a certain category, we could infer that their offerings for that category will also be poor in the future.
This is why we have Game Theory and Mechanism Design. Mathematicians and computer scientists study the different types of auction methods for their properties. Let's take a look at your example:

AAPL is $600 now. (...) If a large institutional investor wants to manipulate the price, he can place huge buy and sell orders at $700.

All your example shows is that a good auction mechanism should avoid this possibility of manipulation. But that's easy enough: the investor's buy at $700 will be matched with sells that are closer to $600, the same as in the current system. The sell at $700 doesn't affect anything.

So in fact the price will move the same as it would in continuous buying.

Why I Deleted Your Guest Post Pitch (With Awful Outreach Examples)
I don't understand why the Economist gets so much credibility. I've never actually seen a worthwhile policy analysis from them - their content is regurgitated ideology, but they try really hard to appear intelligent and balanced.

When something is wrong they always recommend 'reforms' and they avoid specifying what they are but its implied its privatization, low taxes, trade liberalization, deregulation. No matter the circumstances.

Anyone can do that. The only mildly interesting things are the trivia.
For the reverse experience, try signing up a fake profile to Travel Girls (or any of the other similar sites). A new male profile will get pinged within minutes.
No, this is wrong. Location is meaningless. A position is worth the value it creates, not "cost of living * N". Companies are capitalist entities and understand fully how value works in a capitalist system but trick workers into accepting some kind of Marxist "from him according to his ability, to him according to his need" idea of salary value. Go tell BMW you only want to pay 40% of the sticker price because you only plan on driving in Nowhere, AR.

The only reason salaries would be depressed in backwoods places would be if the cost of living was drawing in so many workers that it drove salaries down. So is that the case? If you live in some low cost of living midwest spot in the road, do you get a thousand CVs before you finish writing a job description? If not, if you have trouble hiring in these areas then the salaries are too low.

Nearly everyone in the US is a firm believer in capitalism but they don't generally practice it with their most valuable resource: their time.

And that is why you got downvoted. Obviously a lot of people find this post interesting (at 6th position on the front page with 87pts right now). Furthermore, a lot of people tend to find the "does this even matter" posts that show up on almost every single comment thread boring and irrelevant.

If you don't like an article or don't find it interesting just ignore it, that's the whole point of the voting system. Things that are interesting to a lot of people bubble up, things that aren't, don't. Commenting with "I don't think this is interesting" isn't helpful.

As for your actual post, the author is saying the rejection letters had a particular impact on him even though he eventually got what he wanted. Having been rejected by a few places when applying for graduate studies after having decided that I didn't want to go anyway(because I had decided against pursuing further studies and starting to work) I can definitely sympathize with the author, it still feels bad.

Furthermore, I think the collection of such letters is definitely interesting. Most people when they get rejected tend to think that their case is unique and think that this reflects badly on themselves. I think that it's interesting to see that even people who "made it"(got his dream job, didn't he?) still went through that. So it's perfectly normal.

Fredrik Neij fined for 'Continued Involvement' in Pirate Bay
A developer is a writer; one writes English and the other writes code, but they both write to a human audience (the only "code" a machine needs to see is 0s and 1s; programming languages are for humans).

So there really shouldn't be a big difference in hiring a writer vs. a developer; and a good test would probably be to have developers write essays in English about a technical question: can they make themselves understood?

I would not hire a developer who is incapable of explaining what he's doing, why he's doing it, what the other options are, etc.

Wouldn't it be a good technique to have interviewees bring an example of their own code that they're especially proud of, and have them explain what it does and why it's great?
Blatant cheating, that's what it is.

Cant help, but quote from "I, Robot":

For Israel, the nukes are almost a survival necessity. Nukes in the hands of Israel are less worrying to many than nuclear technology (that could be translated to nuclear weaponry) in the hands of a theocracy.

Additionally, the Palestinian refugees of 1947 have all lived in other countries for 3 generations now. Having the "refugee" status persist through the generations is without precedent. The UN has a special body for refugees, and another special body for Palestinian refugees whose interest is perpetuating the problem rather than solving it. If the countries the descendants of Palestinian refugees gave them basic rights and assimilated them, the problem would be solved. If Israel allowed the descendants to enter ("Return" is really an inaccurate word choice given that most of them were never in Israel) it would destroy it.

Maybe I'm really completely outdated, but I would like my IDE to be able to open a file in 5 seconds. It should not take me less than a minute to figure how to open a file either. I work on a lot of small scripts that don't even get commited (and are very likely forgotten).

I personally had horrible experience with the previous version (nothing worked) and still waiting to finish hg clone of stuff (and migration of a small package). SIGH I think I'll give a go for the next version.

That said the idea is absolutely incredible, but a little leaner first-steps would be awesome. Since this is in the web anyway, can I just go and edit a file on the web to see how it works? I don't particularly care if anyone sees it or if it even gets saved. I want to be able to play with a demo.

I would argue this has nothing to do with being used to highcharts and in fact is how a user would think. A chart library that follows anything from Edward Tufte should allow a user to make the chart as simple as they require it.

If a user has 10 series, and disables all but 1 to look at it and then decide to look at another in isolation, he would, in his naivety as a user, perhaps disable the one he's looking at before enabling the one he wishes to look at. After-all, he's looking at one at a time, so having two on at once could seem wrong to him for his current process. Disabling that one isn't disabled, nor does it blank the chart. Instead it does something completely unexpected, and is in no way predictable. It enables all 10 series again.

If you're designing a charting library that you want to be usable then it should follow user expectation. And no user will expect that turning off all series will in fact re-enable them all. It would make more sense to disable turning off all the series and requiring one on at any one time.

I went out on the faculty job market 1.5 years (the second year I wasn't as serious about it so I'll count it as .5). The first year was 60+ applications, the second was less than 10 if I remember correctly. All of that resulted in 7 interviews, 1 offer that I didn't end up accepting, and a whole lot of rejections.

My advice to anyone applying out for faculty jobs is just to expect a ton of rejections. I stopped reading the letters/emails after I knew they were rejections. Reading more doesn't do any good and it's not like it is a personal letter anyways. One of the things that made it easier was that I was once involved in a faculty job search. 400-500 applications were whittled down to about ~40 that looked good. The process of whittling those down to the 7-8 we interviewed seemed very arbitrary; many of those we didn't interview looked very good. After the interviews, you could have made clear arguments for a few candidates. In the end, one got an offer. So, after seeing the number of applications involved, and the randomness involved in the process, it's pretty easy to just know there will be a lot of rejections.
Tweet-a-lot is an exciting new social media web application which allows people to create competitions to get people tweeting, a lot!

The outcome is that organisations using the service are more visible on social media. It is a great marketing tool to get people talking about your brand.

Tweet-a-lot works through gamification of twitter, getting people incredibly competitive.

Users receive points for different types of Twitter posts, and a score board is displayed on the tweet-a-lot competition page. Users have to keep tweeting to stay at the top of the score board. As simple as that.

Everything runs in real-time, players are scored live and there is a twitter stream to watch the game.

Tweet-a-lot includes automatic player discovery. Users who are unaware of the competition are drawn into playing. When they tweet with the competition hashtag, they receive @reply’s with their score and URL to the competition page.

The best part? Your users do not need to install anything or even register to play; they can play using their favourite Twitter client.

You can join the example competition by tweeting with #tweetalotapp hastag.

I didn't consider the movie to be a perfect arbiter of truth, and I expect over-simplifications in the documentary in order to tell a 'story', but I don't see what value this post by Jean Snow adds to the discussion. There seems to be strong allusions to non-specifics based on second-hand information. Add to this that Jean appears to construct his own character assassination on Phil: he threatens to kill said “business partner,” which can’t be taken lightly considering his apparent fragile mental state.
i didn't even think of that (the google search). i fear for all the novice developers that use this and do nothing more than just install it and leave it wide open.
CEO sounds more impressive.

In fairness, there will usually be one founder who is the de facto leader. Democracy, although fair, is inefficient. So I guess "CEO" is shorthand for "the founder who is in charge".
