Hockey Community - Find hockey players and share your passion
This is a new website to find hockey players, games around you or just share your love for Hockey players.

There is a pretty cool mobile app for iPhone and Android. You should try it. ;)
The other reason of course is because of the drop bears.
Well, the obvious "other target" would be the security lines, so I think it already makes that point. But of course more point-making is better.
The failure of your startup is not comparable even psychologically to seeing the pointless atrocities of war.
This looks really neat, but I've got some comments/questions:

* Typo when trying to set up a sale of a Late 2010 MacBook air: Choose your product's "condtion"

* Where do the prices come from? Are they competitive with other trading sites? For example, a "MacAir 13' Late2010 1.86GHZ 2GB RAM 128 Flash" in "Good" condition goes for $407 on Gazelle, but h3750 ($375?) on Swapidy. However, Gazelle does give me the option to include my power adapter and specify that I have a working battery.

* Why honey? Why not real money?

I learned Haskell in my first algorithm course in the University, mine was the last class ever to do it in that university, the following semester they switched completely to Pascal and later to Java.

These are good news, I just can't wait to see that IDE.

Yes, the locations can be and have been tested. The needle action itself is what can't be properly tested, though there have been plenty of attempts with various types of sham needle, etc. I'm not trying to claim it doesn't or can't work (since I don't know), just that it's frustratingly difficult to research important bits of it.

I think the key here is non-technical users. I know many users who have fairly recent Mac hardware that stayed on Snow Leopard because of Rosetta. I cringe to think how many similar users were affected by issues such as the recent Java browser vulnerabilities but no longer receive support for that version of OS X.

In this case, OP mentioned Erik's did have an "IT" employee. I'm guessing the IT individual's knowledge did not extend to having dedicated POS machines or understanding the concept of user profiles and group policy/rights. With cloud-based/hosted POS systems now, security concerns don't necessarily stop at one's browsing/computing platform.
To oversimplify, there are two kinds of trading strategy: value-based and momentum-based.

Value investors judge investments by the expected revenue from it if they hold on to it for long. HFT does not bother them, except in so far as it increases the amount of uncertainty that you can pick up bargains when you see them due to uncertainty.

Momentum investors, or speculators, judge investments based on whether they think they can soon sell higher than they buy. HFT is supposed to be bad for them, since very high volatility makes the kind of judgements they go in for harder. Usually, HFT is itself a kind of momentum investing, albeit of a strange sort.

If HFT reduces the returns from momentum investing while leaving value investment strategies largely unharmed, it might correct bad incentives in finance and so be a very good thing.
This is fascinating. Can you give some more examples?
The correct way to use Python is to write unit tests. Don't blame your tools when you don't know how to use them correctly.
After rereading it I think that's probably a fair interpretation. I guess I was thrown off from the fact that the author was the subject of the first sentence and therefore made it seem personal.
I thought you were going to tell the even older story about the early days of the Monterey sardine markets.

The sardine report would be released every Friday morning at the docks. The sardine traders would employ runners to physically run the reports back to the market.

The traders who employed the fastest runners were naturally the most successful.

There was one runner nicknamed Slippery Jimmy not only for his elusive speed but also as a fish reference.

Years later Jimmy started one of Monterey's first sporting goods stores. He called it Slippery Shoes. Sadly, the company went bankrupt.

Sometimes solving the hard problem means jumping into a teamroom in front of a whiteboard and doing some serious brainstorming / design. That is the one thing that is very hard to do effectively over say skype. Often with remote developers this type of problem is solved by a single person without the input of others. Resulting in a less then optimal solution that only one person is knowledgeable in.

As far as really getting into the "zone". What I do is put my headphones on, pipe some white-noise in and in a minute or two it's no different then working by myself in my home office.
Not sure what you're talking about. Is it that the primary colors make you think of Google and therefore Android?
I deal with my mediocrity by being Awesome. That is all.
Yeah. I don't think it's surprising either, in fact when I was first writing the post I assumed HFT volume was closer to 95% of trade volume but I couldn't find any public numbers above 70%.

I think that dark pools are where the next crash will come from, but I'm by no means a financial wizard. The way I perceive it, dark pools and other nearly-invisible investment exchanges are scary in that the ramifications of dark pool trading can spill over into the light world (as it were) with dire consequences.

We'll see, I'm also thinking that the next crash could just as easily be caused by a rogue algorithm as a rogue trader.

I'm also curious about the choice of virtual currency.

From perusing their FAQ, it seems like you can buy Honey with real money, but it doesn't look like you can get your money back out. Ick.

You're right, this is very fun!

1) No. There's nothing in the rules that says time machines are not allowed.

2) That's impossible. The only way they could own everything is if they could somehow go back to the beginning of time and buy Earth.

3) People would then stop trading stocks and actually produce stuff to sell to one another.
Thank you for your time, enlightened one.
1) Thanks, will fix that!

2) The prices are generated based on current market value and are changed constantly. In most cases, our offer will be higher than most sites because we pay in virtual currency. That gives us the ability to offer you more value. It really depends on what the current demand is like.

3) With Honey, we can offer you more unlike cash where there is more up front overhead.

Did that answer your questions?

I was going to say.. it looks inexpensive compared to SF!

You make a good point.
What it comes down to is that Haskell's type system eliminates whole categories of bugs because of the language. Having the correct way to use the language outside of the language itself, as an addition, in the case of Python or Ruby or (insert interpreted language here) makes for lots of extra debugging time.

I have the same impression.

Many start-ups are built by well-meaning people who have no formal CS or even engineering background and thus are somewhat out of touch with what it means to build a robust system. It's natural for people to focus on "what's important" and ignore boundary/edge conditions, while in reality 90% of sound engineering is getting boundary/edge cases right.

And as most of such start-ups use Ruby/Rails due to the easiness of "getting it up and running", and thus they inject the Ruby/Rails ecosystem with this "focus on what's important" mindset, important boundary issues, including security, are neglected.

The sentinel pointers work like this: the zero page is assumed to never point to a valid Ruby object (NULL through NULL+PAGE_SIZE-1), so they just use some otherwise "pointer" shaped numbers in that range as special values (nil, true, false).
I've actually been to a chiropractor, as a sort of desperate measure once when I had really horrible back pain, could barely stand straight etc—exactly the sort of thing you'd think chiropractic would be perfectly suited for. I was skeptical about chiropractors, given their reputation, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try (er, probably... :).

The chiropractor I went to was in a fairly wealthy neighborhood, had a nice office, and seemed "respectable." However, once he actually started, it very quickly became clear he hadn't the faintest clue what he was doing, didn't care much, and was just going through some very simplistic motions. He not only failed to have any effect on my problem, but he was singularly ineffective in even trying to track down the issue. It was a very different experience from a normal doctor: almost every real doctor, even when completely confused and out of his depth, at least has clear techniques for probing and trying to figure out what's up or at least figure out the next step to take or who to ask—and they will very freely refer you to someone else if that's called for. This chiropractor: nothing. Zero. Nada.

After 30 minutes of painfully obvious hand waving, he then said "ok, well I guess you'd better schedule another appointment." I then went out into his waiting room, and heard another patient chatting with the secretary, and it became clear this patient was a "regular."

It seemed fairly obvious that the whole scam was to get patients on the appointment treadmill, offering promises, but no relief, continually dangling in front of them the hope that "next time" things would get better...

Maybe not every chiropractor is this way, but my experience perfectly matched their generally poor reputation, so I suspect it's more common than not.

[I didn't schedule another appointment... :]
I loathe it because of the repeated privacy concerns, reliance on a central company for not only its development but its OPERATION, and the presence of many competitors.

Argh

I want a smaller phone, to be less redundant with a tablet. Since I got a tablet I use my phone for audio, maps, calls, SMS, camera--all things I could do with an iPod nano-sized 2.5" display. A smaller phone would be clippable, lighter in my pocket.

But I think Marco might be right. I could deal with a bigger iPhone if it were cheaper and contract-free, I guess. But it's sort of disappointing to me how little interest there is in smaller screen sizes. Apple would be unlikely to issue a phone not compatible with any third-party apps, however.(3.5 inch screen with no bezel would be nice, too, and compatible with apps.)
The changes only apply to the two lowest tiers. Standard changed from 10 down/1 up to 15 down/1up. Turbo changed from 15 down/2 up to 20 down/2 up.

With Honey, we can offer you more instead of what Gazelle or eBay would offer you.

Ex) Instead of selling your iPhone for $400, we could give you $440 in some cases.

Does that answer your question?

At the moment, we're not offering redemption of Honey but we may consider it in the future. The value you're getting of selling your product over market value and buying under wouldn't require you to ever take out money anyway.

Also, if your product is worth as much as a product we're selling, you won't have to pay a single dime.

>> Throughput here is measured in messages, each containing 100 events, so master is processing 200,000–215,000 events/sec.

So in reality it is ~ 2k messages/sec. This is a rather poor throughput, as even off-the-shelf generic web servers (e.g. nginx) have the throughput an order of magnitude higher, and proprietary systems can reach 500k messages/sec over the network.
ok. So to tie this back to the real world examples that came up recently - is there similar evidence for white guys in Ruby?

Who's On Call?
While obviously nobody would say "we should be less supportive of people with depression," my point was that people need to stop bald-faced lying to themselves. And to remove themselves from situations where that is not only the norm, but celebrated behavior. Living a lie is a cause of depression.[1]

You can't "support" a person who is lying to themselves. You call them out -- they hate you for it. You support them by "believing in them" -- you deepen their investment in their lie. Nobody wins.

Why is it that people all agree "it's mentally hard running a startup"?

Is it really so hard? Or is that another face of the grandiosity at work?

[1] Obviously I'm not saying this is the cause of all depression or even all startup depression. But I've seen it at work too many times to believe it's insignificant. And in terms of clinical diagnoses, grandiosity is a sign of NPD, and NPD is highly correlated with depression. I don't think a diagnosis of NPD fits an entire culture where grandiosity is the norm, however, but I do believe it can cause depression and not without good reason.
chanced,

I'm also married, also own a house and I've been through this. I hope you can get something useful from my comment. Our realities are certain not the same, but anyway...:

I don't know why you need money at this stage, but please, do not depend on angel investing right now. Do something that you can charge users for right now (today!). Charge them. Are those potential customers willing to pay you TODAY for the product to be delivered in X weeks? Do that. Do not play lottery with your life.

Angel investors will invest in pretty much two types of startups: 1) startups with crazy ideas that can make everyone millions or fail miserably (think color.com) 2) startups that have a reasonable idea with good traction where return should be smaller, but certain

That said, my opinion is for you to get users to pay you right now or try to do some consulting and build something people will pay for immediately.

This was a very honest comment, best of luck to you.
I had the same thoughts.
They have a long list of what's wrong with git.
They think git is too hard for their average customer.
They have a list of features, some will be easier when storing some metadata in the git repo.

There are certainly ways to build a compatible and good product.
It is possible and not incredibly hard.
But it is Microsoft we are talking about.
What is their track record in playing nicely with the community and supporting open standards? IE? OOXML?

They have deadlines, technical burden of millions LOC, backwards compatibility with whatever crap RCS they are currently supporting, etc.

When all these come into play, guess what will be sacrificed or postponed till next release?

I get it that it can be done right, I believe some of their engineers sincerely want and try hard to get it right. They have already made quite a few design decisions and big steps in the right direction.

But there are "real world" constraints. Management wants to report gazillion new features this quarter, Marketing wants unique value propositions, Engineering wants to hold back the release until git maintainers accept all the patches. Guess who will lose this tug of war?

Do you mean Ritalin (Methylphenidate) or Dextroamphetamine? (Both prescribed for ADHD). Either way, that statement is not strictly correct. Dextroamphetamine does get metabolised into Methamphetamine, but it isn't Methamphetamine when it is sold & Methylphenidate is something different.

What business fundamentals are they?

The ones that say Apple has the vision and skill to enter and exploit many more massive untapped markets as we've seen them do repeatedly compared to GM's fairly static markets?

Oh, wait...
How feasible would it to have a gem that sits in middleware that would check for possible attacks before the string gets any further and block/share IPs of people fishing for exploits?

I could see it as a service company that shares blacklist info between sites and can even find new exploits from the "bad" requests.
>For example, based on the business fundamentals it seems ludicrous to me that Apple would have a lower P/E ratio than GM--but it currently does.

Their P/E ratios are very similar. Why does that surprise you? Apple is a very mature company. They're currently making huge earnings (which naturally lowers the P/E ratio if those earnings are not expected to continue at that level), and they're a big long-term risk because nobody knows exactly what's going to happen with Android vs. iOS. It's extremely plausible that margins in the smart phone and tablet markets will take a dive in the medium term as a result of vigorous competition, which is where Apple derives the bulk of their profits. Expecting Apple to be doing five years from now as well as they've done for the past five years is to expect them to come out with something new which is as revolutionary as the original iPhone. Maybe they will, but the market obviously isn't betting on that happening.

On the other hand, GM is not doing great earnings wise, but there is no obvious reason to expect that their existing customers are going to evaporate, or that their margins are going to change significantly from what they already are.
California suspends $20,000 fine against Uber
I would understand phones tending to get bigger if the iPad had been a flop and tablets had not been able to prove they are relevant for consumers.
With tablets being superior on all aspects except for making calls and taking pictures, what I want is a minimalistic phone. Big enough that I can text, take pictures and make calls. And that I can plug to a tablet anytime to provide it with 3G connectivity.

And when I say "plug to a tablet" I mean that in the most meta sense you can imagine, what I want is somehow to be able to use my tablet using the same data plan as my phone, and that all my data can sync seamlessly from my phone to the tablet.
But less than 4k in profit....wow those are some thin margins overall.

Great question! We have the power to offer you more because our up front overhead (cash) is minimal.

Right now, the aim is to provide huge value to the customer by buying new and then eventually the inventory that we gather up with used products, will be available too for less than market value. We can do this because acquisition costs are low.

Does that answer your question?

You know who always wins? Lawyers are used in the litigation (for both parties). If you receive a letter written by another lawyer, you'll need to consult one in order to tell them to get lost. There are essentially no downsides to all the lawyers other than their clients no longer being able to pay.

40-50% of Congress and Senate are lawyers. I would be astonished to find them voting against their own profession's best interests.

Walking is valuable.

Note that it largely correlates to the WalkScore for Boston: http://www.walkscore.com/MA/Boston

I don't know why people don't make walking a bigger deal in where they choose to live in the U.S. I love driving, but

A large part of the reason I've remained in New Hampshire is because my town is extremely walkable from my house, with several cafes, good restaurants, and my work all less than 10 minutes away by foot.

(Of course there are other reasons. I "run" a large victorian-era house and rent spare rooms to friends, living for effectively free. On the other hand, I also don't know why more young professionals don't do that, because the money I save is amazing, and the only downside are more chores, or people problems if you live with friends you end up not liking)
