2) Again, you are underestimating the effort to build a competitive spreadsheet and overestimating what intelligence or smart people are capable of achieving. First, you can take a look at the spreadsheet history and see that there was a lot of competition in computer history stages with more opportunity windows: how many developers were in the Apple/DOS era? Another important thing that you are not taking into account is the ecosystem for spreadsheets like Excel. It's not only Excel, but the whole Microsoft Office and Legacy Applications. Do you think that a Fortune 1000 company will take the risk of moving outside Excel?

3) No, just the contrary. Try yourself to gain traction with a free open source software and see how difficult it is.

4) That's what I said but it's being capitalized by a lot of people

1) Startups and small business are popping up everywhere and the majority die.
Applying a lunch hour surcharge is probably the simplest way to even out the load a bit if that's your only problem.

But I know food vendors in various places around the world with near-constant long lines, and surely the answer in that case is to increase capacity, take orders in advance, maybe do delivery, etc. High demand is a good problem to have, but it is a problem, and it usually doesn't get addressed.
My train was halted this morning due to a man waving a gun around. Between that and other previous incidents involving other riders, I am quite grateful there was a person operating the train.
$1000/sh seems like a more momentous headline than $330B market cap.

On the other hand, It's more likely that we see the headline "$1T company" than "$3030.30/sh"
You're supplementing her book learning, but she is observing you to learn life skills and how to think. It's your job to teach her financial skills, how to cook, give her the best example you can no how to have relationships with other people. Encourage her to play with other kids but also how to communicate with adults. Teach her how to be responsible and mature.

There is more to education than book learning (ABCs and 123s). You are supplementing her book learning while the school is supplementing her life skills learning.

Also- Papa Murphy's pizza. They make the pizza, but you take it home and cook it. Tastes better than delivery.

iPhone is iPhone and the variety we have now is sufficient.

I was with you up until this statement. As one of the millions who left the iPhone because I wanted a larger screen, I disagree. You are acting as though "bigger screen" isn't a big deal but it's clearly a big deal (as judged by the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC Ones, the Note, etc). I have nothing but anecdotal evidence but I'd assume a full 20-30% of the people buying bigger screen phones are leaving the iPhone to do so. That's a whole lot of market to just ignore.

> Fill ratios are not designed to prevent either high frequency or low latency trading, it is there to prevent a particular form of exchange gaming (quote stuffing).

They are very effective against quote stuffing, but they also work well against player that leave their quote active in the market for 1ms with high frequency. That's false price signaling, and is independent of quote stuffing (as I'm familiar with it: the practice of throwing so many orders at the exchange that slower players got a lag in their data).

> You are not being clear (and you are being condescending) on what you mean by HFT players & what you find objectionable.

I am specifically talking about HFT players in the US Equity markets - these are the subject of all the HFT discussions on reddit and HN. These do a lot of false signaling, quote stuffing, frontrunning in between exchanges.

> Is a market maker that trades 40K contracts a day but doesn't quote stuff objectionable?

That's fine, as long he is not false signaling either (that is, putting in orders he has no intention of executing)

> What about a cross exchange latency arbitrage trade that is not spamming exchanges? If so why?

This subverts the NBBO system. I believe this should either be illegal, or it should be legal and the NBBO system be canceled. But traders are under the illusion that the NBBO system is protecting them from wasting money to these arbitrageurs, when is isn't.

> Also, I've traded Eurex. They have very specific interfaces for low latency/high frequency traders. You can order different classes of connectivity from them that are specifically designed for these use cases. They also have predatory algorithms, so I'm not sure what they have solved.

The same things: a) quote stuffing, b) false signaling. Being faster costs money, and should provide an advantage - but it should be "neutral".

Is there any way (e.g. quote stuffing) in which you are aware that the faster players on Eurex can causally disadvantage the slower players, like they can in the US Equity markets?
So ... lots of people have a financial stake in automated trains not working, and for some reason MTA is moving in a direction that consistently doesn't work. Quite a coincidence there.

Could word2vec be used as part of the algorithm for this? Ever since I read about it I've been trying to think of applications for word2vec.
Surely using less resources in any machine is useful as it leaves more for your actual app to use. Admittedly you might get _more_ benefits from having it on bare metal, but on the other hand the OS using 10% less ram (for example) on a small VM might make more of a noticeable difference to your app.

Personally I prefer having cloud machines to bare metal machines simply for my time being saved in doing things like firewalling them or load balancing. But then my personal time is more precious to me than a few extra £ a month out of my pocket, so that's an active choice I make. CoreOS (& docker especially) seem pretty neat, regardless of where I want to run them as it were.

Perhaps you're right though, I've not used CoreOS in anger yet so I don't know specifically. :-)
Yes, it's just an example. I'm sure there are other terms that get more ads in the US than the UK. The point isn't this exact search term, it's that there are combinations of searches+locations that return pages where the entire of the visible page is filled with ads or google content and you have to scroll to see any real results at all.
Static code analysis is very nice to help you identify problems with legacy code. That is how I got into it when we had to do a mass migration of old code to a different application server.
Agree completely, and well done to the OP.

So far I've seen "you can't print this out!" (who cares?) and "some of the transitions could be smoother!"

This one is my favorite:

"This isn't a one-page form. It's not going to fit on my desk. I'm going to pass on this candidate."

Seriously people? You think this guy doesn't have a hard copy of his resume? Your goal is to hire a talented candidate. This exercise demonstrates talent, and was created for exposure. Not optimization of communication in the form of a one-page CV that will end up decomposing on some hiring manager's desk that doesn't have the decency to reply to candidates he or she will not be hiring.

Share price is relatively meaningless. It needs to be paired to total shares outstanding.

It's arbitrary by itself because it's a function of shares outstanding and total market value, one of which the company can (relatively easily) control via stock splits.
As someone in their early 20s with a sleep disorder this freaks me out!
Same reason for anyone in that situation: The sooner they learn/do something else, the sooner they can acquire a new useful skillset, instead of dragging on their now useless one. It's not like this is an intermediate problem and if we just subsidize them long enough, there'll suddenly be a need for train drivers again.

I'm just guessing but I think the main difference is between building a system from scratch vs working with an existing system. While the cost of strikes is high, so is the fixed cost embedded in the current system.
How is it not a solution? The problem is needing to add more storage. Microsoft lets you add more storage. That way you could buy the 8GB version of the phone for $200 and add 64GB of more storage, if necessary, for $50. The alternative is to pay $200 for 8GB or $350 for 16GB... which would you pick?

Removable storage is always going to be a problem, as Google points out. Adding storage after the fact is solved, and one of the solutions is what Microsoft offers.

The reason we haven't seen inflation is that, despite all the printing, the money supply has not increased since 2008. This is because the velocity of money and the money multiplier have both decreased significantly since the financial crisis -- in essence, people are not borrowing or spending the way that they were in 2008. If people aren't spending, you aren't going to get inflation... until you do.
Granted, the stability gap between private sector and government employment is smaller, but there is still a gap favoring government employment. Also, those folks knew they would be called back; it was just a matter of when. Layoffs in the private sector tend to be permanent - or at least of longer duration. And those folks knew there was a possibility of back pay - non-existent for laid-off employees in the private sector.

For most folks, I doubt that the pros/cons of government employment will change significantly, once the dust settles and they consider the alternatives - especially in areas where the government is the only or major employer.

Same for London's DLR (Docklands Light Railway). I remember whe the drivers went on strike, the trains simply ran without the babysitters. Nobody died or lost any limbs that day.

Yep, C suffers from pointer abuse and with it, infects any language that uses C compatibility as language subset.
This anecdotally proves that focusing in on your core business can result in stronger earning potential. It's not a new concept, but it is somewhat easier to explain to my boss (who needs to learn focus).

Google should just shut the google finance android app down. Its so bad its embarassing. Adding arbitrary securities (some foreign adrs in the cases I have found) will prevent any portfolios from being displayed at all. When you open the app and hit update it will update the portfolios and show a notification that portfolios updated but the portfolios themselves will never appear anywhere in the UI.

To keep my post short, I actually skipped over the long period of time where I tried using hand planes. Problem is I couldn't invest in getting several of them, so I don't have a proper joiner one. Even then, using the planes on a hard wood like oak was really hard.

I love hand planing, but it'll be a while before I'm good at it, it's still an investment money-wise, and it's much harder than running the boards across a joiner.
The last phone I had that did this was an old Samsung Focus, and Samsung was very quick to point this out at every step of the way. The emphasize in the manual very clearly that this storage is a permanent addition, not a way of removable storage.

30% of treasury bonds are owned by the Fed, and in some recent auctions, the Fed has purchased as much as 90% of the new issuance. We would have a major problem if China were to dump their bonds on the market because there aren't too many buyers when you're at such low interest rates.
Well GOOG added $36 billion dollars of market cap overnight. To put that into perspective that is 9 BBRYs (RIMM), 1.5 TSLA's, 1.5 LNKD's, or 0.5 UNP's (Union Pacific).

Distasteful is exactly the right word. It means it's not in "good taste." It doesn't mean wrong, or strategically poor, just a violation of subjective standards of behaviour.

Quote often, such subjective standards exist to erect a barrier to entry for people outside of a social caste. For example, it was considered "In poor taste" for lawyers and doctors to advertise their services.

Of course, if you can't advertise, you lead to a situation where the lawyers with the best word-of-mouth and the best rolodexes take nearly all the profit from the business, and it's very hard for a newcomer to break into the business.

When I read the word "distasteful" or the phrase "in poor taste" or perhaps the word "unprofessional," I always ask myself, "Who benefits from discouraging this behaviour?"
You might want to render the first screen of your app without any ajax call. That's the best thing to do. There is no reason why your app cant render with datas directly.
In that link, I learned:

In 1980, barely two years after Hoare's paper, Gerard Holzmann and Rob Pike created a protocol analyzer called pan that takes a CSP dialect as input. [...] Holzmann reports that “Pan found its first error in a Bell Labs data-switch control protocol on 21 November 1980.” That dialect may well have been the first CSP language at Bell Labs, and it certainly provided Pike with experience using and implementing a CSP-like language, his first of many. [...] Holzmann's protocol analyzer developed into the Spin model checker and its Promela language.

How cool. Gerard (http://gerard.holzmann.usesthis.com) is now using Spin and several other verification tools to improve source code quality for space missions at JPL. I did not know about this connection of his work to CSP and, indirectly, to Go.
It's strange you say it works because it happens that every case of hyperinflation in history has occurred under a fiat, paper system. Paper is very easy to debase, but if you want you can go to the "best" "schools" in the world and they can tell you why it's such a good idea... and maybe one day you can pick up a job at a central bank. And if you're really lucky your peers will prefix your name with a sobriquet of high honour as cool as "helicopter".
I don't understand why co-routines, green threads or any other n:1 user-level threading model are of much interest in today's multi-core processor world? To utilise the computing power in front of you, you really need to use 1:1 kernel level threads in your program.

This is also the biggest problem I have with node.js which is inherently single-threaded (libuv's thread-pool aside) and only uses a fraction of the CPU power available on your computer.

[Edit]: A trivial, but practical example which demonstrate the power of using your machine's capabilities compared to just a fraction. If you use Make to build your project. Try 'make -j n' where n is 2 x cores on your machine. And observed the speed of building in parallel compared to serialised.
> Expecting other people to go out of their way to learn the things you know is disrespecting their time.

That might be true if you are going to use the tool precisely once and then never again, but this is your system's shell we're talking about. You're disrespecting your own time if you don't learn how it works.

> You said that rbenv isn't advanced shell scripting. You are right, it isn't - for us.

You're conflating the objective and subjective notions of complexity and difficulty respectively. rbenv is objectively simple and subjectively either easy or hard depending on your shell scripting experience. However, rvm is objectively complex and subjectively easy or hard depending on your Ruby environment customization needs. Programmers should prefer objective simplicity and leveraged familiarity every single time.

A small initial investment in learning your shell is significantly more valuable than a large delayed investment in learning RVM.

> Did you know that environment variables [...]

Absolutely everything you mention is discussed in great detail in the bash man pages. And even "in great detail" means that the ENVIRONMENT section fits on my 13" screen vertically at 80 columns and the INVOCATION section (which I found by searching for "bashrc") is no more than two screenfuls. That's a 10 minute trade for a lifetime of saving 5 minutes a piece on Stack Overflow visits.
This will be interesting (it takes containerized data centers to an interesting place). Given that naval engagements seem to be either 'unsophisticated Somali pirate' level or 'super sonic ship-killer cruise missile' there isn't a whole lot of middle ground in terms of reaction space.

Maybe that points to one source for the packages in many distros as the wrong way to go about it? You might be better off promoting a list of packages that repo maintainers (distro or secondary) could use to supply a well known set of ruby packages for a specific target. It's not like there's a shortage of people or institutions to do this if you make it easy for them.
This is a silly thing to say. Here, let's try to write some code using 1-based indexing:

t = {foo()}

And now with 0-based indexing:

function capture_values_internal(idx,t,remaining,val,...)
if remaining == 0 then
return t
else
t[idx]=val
return capture_values_internal(idx+1,t,remaining-1,...)
end
end

function capture_values(...)
return capture_values_internal(0,{},select("#",...),...)
end

t = capture_values(foo())

or

function capture_values(...)
local n,t=select("#",...),{...}
for i=0,n do
t[i]=t[i+1]
end
return t
end

t = capture_values(foo())

Gosh, that was easy, I can't wait to use 0-based indexing throughout my program.

This is a great (=true) answer, but doesn't it basically argue that Copyright is a false premise? The evidence seems to be that (1) 90% of the money does not go to the author; and (2) In spite of (1) it still makes sense to do what it takes to publish. Logically, one infers that a copyright monopoly is fairly replaced by something with 10% of the social cost, provided that "springboard to getting recognition and open doors" effect is neutral. Is this lattr assumption only possible through copyright? What if there was something like an Award or &tc stamped your resume?

As usual a technological solution would have saved more money. All Goldman would have to do is let people reserve their place in the lunch line through their cellphone or at their desk. When their number comes up, they can go right to the front of the line and order. There would be a specific physical way to access the front of the line when your number is up.

The people who don't use this policy would quickly learn to use it since the others would be constantly skipping them. So that would push everyone to use this system and avoid the physical line. The system could even show them estimated time remaining via an app or webpage.

For that matter, Goldman could have its own app for its employees. So can many other organizations. Lots of government inefficiency comes from this. The NY DMV finally put forms up online!! Imagine how much more efficient it is to fill out a form online than waste half a day standing on line (not online) to get the right form, then fill it out and wait for your # to come up to finally do something.

By the way, if you liked the above idea of organizations making apps for their employees, reach out to me through http://qbix.com/about . We spent about two years building the technology for making such apps for organizations. We could really use someone with good PR or Marketing experience to partner with us though. And developers are always welcome (if you use Node or PHP.)
Related anecdote: Interestingly enough, Excel doesn't support dates prior to the "Excel epoch". I had some genealogical spreadsheets that I had to move to Google Docs from Excel because Docs supports arbitrary years and Excel treats anything prior than 1900 as strings instead of dates, losing the ability to perform date/time operations.
