The thing with quote stuffing is this:

- If a firm is posting quotes that they have no intention of honoring, then they are backing away and that's already a violation of regulations.

- If they are rapidly posting quotes and canceling them in response to quickly changing market conditions, that's normal behavior.

As long as a firm fills an order appropriately, when someone actually hits their quote, then they are doing it right.

Of course, some exchanges and other venues view excessive quoting with minimal actual trading as a nuisance, because it taxes their infrastructure without the actual trading that makes money for everyone involved. As such, many venues are charging fees to participants who have very high quote-to-trade ratios. This is also fine - it's the prerogative of the venues to charge fees for use of the infrastructure.
Kinda sorta. One of the problem points for Google TV development was that its not just a simple process of adding the SDK support and throwing your app on screen. Attention has to bee paid to input interaction and how the UI displays on such a large screen, so things like margins, color choices, and touch focus support need to be addressed (which many apps don't do correctly or need adjustment).

You don't need a VM for that, just as portable assembly kind of.

OS/400 binaries use portable bytecodes which are compiled into native code at installation time.

Alphas had binary translation between binary formats.
It is a component when calculating any damages, though.
Ask HN: Looking for some guinea pigs for our shiny API
We've been in stealth(lazy-mode) for over 18months now developing sales and marketing APIs. We have even helped one HN user generate over $500,000 in sales directly from our tools.

Now we have a shiny API that we want to get out in the wild.

Without wasting too much of your time, we turn an email address into more actionable data. An email address is fully stamped passport. It's about time we make use of those stamps.

We can tell you any number of things, including: salary, next pay day, net worth, dependence on monthly pay, internal bureaucracy, influence within a company and even the financial strength of a company. Of course we're not Goldman Sachs or Equifax, but we have some pretty nice data.

Email me(username @ gmail) if you're interested in having a play with our shiny API.
Well I use the start menu quit often, but almost never the "all programs", maybe I'm not the one.

Also I think the "start menu" argument encompass in reality the whole concept of Metro against traditional desktop UI.
That's good to know. Just to be clear, I don't fault Uber at all for this happening, and it's nice to know that they're attempting to put limits in place to prevent it. But it was aggravating in the moment.
Of course, every country in the world should be suspending contracts with the US over NSA spying, torture, unjustified wars, going against the UN, etc. etc.
Introduction – Learn You a Haskell for Great Good
Two months notice plus two months of shutdown time? Luxury. If you want to see abrupt then MochiMedia's 2 weeks notice announcement that they were going away and taking with it probably the largest ad network for Flash games along with metrics, highscore systems, versioning, distribution and more was abrupt!
I do understand that your opinion is that a girl will have an emotional need to only learn from women.

That is not what is being said, it is that it may be useful for a girl to not only learn from men.
Thanks! I'm currently working on v2.0 which I am really excited about.
Why is it ironic? Lines of code is a good estimate of complexity. The point of the article is that increase in complexity is not a good estimate of progress.
I couldn't agree more with @enraged_camel since I thought the same thing too! Jennifer has done an incredible job documenting her ambition. I wouldn't be surprised if a few companies offer her a developing position.
Well, if you want to get ridiculously technical, we shouldn't use "coding" for anything higher-level than assembling bytecodes at the machine level. The term was in common currency at least as early as Wheeler's "The Use of Sub-Routines in Programming" (1952), while by 1954 the term "automated coding" was being used to describe the use of higher-level languages such as Hopper's A-2 or IBM's Speedcode (and, indeed, even basic mnemonic coding and relative/symbolic address transformations that underlie what we today call "assembly programming").

As it is, I'm comfortable using the term to denote any activity that programmatically and logically instructs a computer to take a certain sequence of actions. C? Coding! Java? Coding! JavaScript? Coding! CSS? Coding! Excel columns? Coding! Ctrl-h and a regex selector? Coding! It's coding all the way down!
interesting, it looks like you spent a lot of time on it, congrats on launching. Did you also consider using zwave over zigbee? I've been looking at installing a zwave hub and a few light switches, motion sensors and thermostat. Care to compare/contrast?
TextSecure still doesn't have an iOS client. ;(

Even if you don't feel iOS devices are trustworthy, as long as it's limited to the Android-only world, it's not going to gain a wide adoption.

Uber could wait until you've been collected before passing that information to the driver.
6. Let people pay you to develop their favourite/urgently needed features on a priority basis
It's not just managers: plenty of people go by this number and the recentness of activity, which rewards coding before thinking.
The people should have open access to all the information they need to make wise decisions, rather than people with money manipulating the information and access to it, so they can manipulate the people.
Not to mention it still has pagination. In the new Gmail, I bet half the users wouldn't even be able to find one.

The problem with WebSQL was it was just "use the version of SQLite currently used by the reference Chrome", which isn't quite suitable for a standard.

It'd be nice to have a real standard relational database API and supported functionality in browsers, but WebSQL wasn't ready to be it.
JavaScript: The Remarkable Parts
With current funding and assuming all goes according to schedule: no sooner than December 2015.

This aside: it could probably start ferrying people tomorrow, although with some safety features still missing (even then it would probably be safer than STS)
That sounds cool! I do recommend you highlight a few practical use cases, i.e. what benefits does (or will) it provide? Try to lead with why rather than with what. It took me a long time to realise they're all the way at the bottom.

I also recommend not repeating the words "notifying object" so often - right now my eyes might go from: "Notifon, the notifying object." (1st headline) to "Transform any object into a notifying object!" (2nd headline) to "Notifon / Transform any object into a notifying object" (video) to "Preorder now" to "Notifon is a wireless Internet-connected device that sends you instant notifications based on real life events." and I've learned little more than the 1st headline told me.

Thanks for sharing this and good luck with your crowdfunding campaign!
So the judge basically confirmed the suspicions which is why he isn't showing up in the first place? And they expect this to change?

Maybe it's just me, but the U.S. legal system really seems to struggle with the fact that it can't make people jump at will anywhere on earth.

Envplus: Combine your Python virtualenvs
I absolutely agree. Jennifer's work and courage are inspiring, and basically make me willing to read pretty much anything of hers that is posted here.
The problem with your examples is that they ignore the relative impact of different sorts of government interventions. From 1970 to 2002, the non-interest, non-SS/Medicare portion of the budget shrunk from 15% of GDP to 10% of GDP. That's a $750 billion change. E.g. the drug war might be a great injustice, but the entire budget of the federal prison system is only $6-7 billion. The militarization of the police is, economically, more than outweighed by the dramatic shrinking of our actual military. In 1970, there was 1 federal uniformed military person for every 65 people. Today it's 1 for every 203. We might have a war on terror, but back then we had a war on communism, and defense spending as a percentage of GDP has fallen from 8% in 1970 to 5% today. The number of regulations might be more, but that's a worthless measure. The federal administrative bureaucracy writing and overseeing and enforcing those regulations has shrunk dramatically. In 1970, there was 1 federal civilian employee for every 69 people. Today there is 1 for every 117 people.
A writer can approximate that already via social channels like Twitter and Facebook, though - if enough people are listening to you directly, that's the point at which your need for someone else's publishing platform diminishes.
Absolutely. It would only be fitting given that the rest of the world stopped engaging in any such activities ages ago.
As you said, The money was a major motivating factor in the slave trade, and it is not in the marriage equality battle. The money is not a motivating factor in preventing marriage equality. The shared major motivating factor is arguable, 'hate'.

There aren't huge plantations at stake, make no mistake there is big money involved. Social security, inheritance, and real-estate are just a few of the issues making sure gays are leaving billions on the table. Ultimately, the currently enforced laws favor the majority; straight people.

Marriage equality is sub issue of a massive human rights epidemic which we aren't directly addressing in this thread. The current CEO actively supports organizations which make the epidemic all the more dire for people in many areas of the world. While gays in the US enjoy relative freedom, it is illegal and punishable by death to be gay in 15 countries, and just illegal with life sentence in a dozen more.

During every major recent genocide, gays where almost always highly targeted for killing in the most heinous ways; just to name a few; during US slavery, WW II, and African Apartheid. Just as slavery continues around the world, so does the merciless torture and killing of gays. While we can pull a segment of American history and say with impunity, 'definitely more blacks died in miserable conditions with horrible treatment and torture', gays have had a worldwide and human history long story that nearly matches the brutality, just not the shear numbers.

While our politicians argue about where gay wedding can take place, this is just one of the final chapters in a very long story about a fight just to exist. To characterize this issue as just a visitation rights, marriage and tax benefits issue, as you say, 'really glosses over how terrible [homophobia through out history] actually was.'
I wouldn't be surprise if Bunnie got some extra help from them during integration.

I've always been happy with the amount of support Freescale puts behind their processors. You don't realize how bad it is with some manufacturers until you're halfway through a project and things just fall apart.

And the i.MX6Q is a snappy little processor for the price.
"I find it not very efficient nor productive towards actually understanding the other person or situation and reaching a useful mutual understanding"

General greetings like that aren't meant to. Its just an ENQ and I'm giving an ACK. Either I have time to talk or I don't and my next actions tell the story. It might be one of those regional things, but its not something to dwell on too much when encountered since its just superficial politeness.
It's a core paradigm of windows for as long as I remember. If you removed the steering wheel from your car do you think drivers would be surprised? Upset? Confused? If you had any common sense and don't have a case of Microsoft stockholm syndrome you would.
Ok, so the larger icons make them easier to see out of the corner of your eye, but they are further away, making them harder. But I can see how it can go either way depending on your vision, and if you wear glasses, etc. But after looking at this screen, I'm a bit lost. The icon on the left column, third down -- I'm not sure what that one does (looks like maybe Skype? And the 4 additional boxes embedded in it, are linked to those contacts pictured?) -- same with the icon next to it wit hthe guy's picture . And the one toward the top with the two squirrels looking at each other?

I'm really hoping that this all makes sense once you start using it, as I'm going to have to make a decision on what to upgrade my parents' computer to (Win 7 or Win 8) -- I don't want to confuse them.
"Assertions to the effect of "the government is bigger than ever" are just unsubstantiated hand-waving. Federal spending as a percentage of GDP, excluding interest, social security, and medicare, is down from 15% to 10%. That reflects a real and dramatic shrinking of the scope of government"

Excluding my fat, belly, and arse, I've actually lost weight...
I don't see what the big deal is, everyone's doing it.
Had a similar experience with a Lyft driver recently. Thought he simply didn't want to talk, but realized he was deaf shortly after.

Decided to navigate him myself and didn't have any issues at all. Glad to see that those less fortunate are finding more opportunity due to improvements in technology. Hope to see more of this in the future.
Amazon unveils Fire TV to compete with Apple, Roku, Ouya, and Google
Every browser has non-cross-browser methods and features. Also, the IE in 2014 is not as bad as it use to be.

If Microsoft is open sourcing this code nothing prevents from the OO community to help them from making it more compatible with rest of the browsers.
WinJS started out as a tool for creating Metro apps with HTML5 and JavaScript as an alternative to XAML and C#. I don't know if Microsoft is now spinning it as a general purpose web tool but that was not its original purpose. And this has always been explicit. The default ASP.NET MVC template, for example, bundles Bootstrap and jQuery. And if you look at the SPA examples they're all in tools like AngularJS and Knockout. In fact, in one of their build sessions they teach how to create a SPA with AngularJS. As far as I know the ASP.NET team has never used WinJS.

So it wouldn't surprise me if this library didn't work great on the web on any browser because it wasn't created for that purpose.
Would be interested to hear what you think about this topic
We didn't annex a sovereign nation.

Two possibilities:

1. The guy who designed the wood version is experienced in bonding wood to aluminium and has good reason for using high modulus epoxy.

2. "High Modulus" sounds really good, let's say that! Nobody wants "low modulus epoxy", whatever that is!
My first experience with Win8 was trying to troubleshoot a legacy software issue where the relevant guide was in .pdf form... but the pdf viewer was fullscreen. It beggared belief that someone thought that you'd never want to see another part of the OS while working on a document, on a desktop system. How did they think that this would appeal to business users?
Thanks, Z-Wave is also a good technology but I hate the "association" part, when you need to be at least 3 feets from the Hub. I don't think Z-Wave will survive in the next 5 years. Look at Philips Hue, they also chose ZigBee.
What in hell? AFAIR even in the middle of the Cold War, NASA was freely collaborating with Russian scientists. So why such decision, why this is one of the first moves by US government in the topic of Ukraine and, in short, what the fuck, America?
Fact or Fiction?: Your Car Is Hackable
Neat, works with #!/usr/bin/env ipython

I'm using fish <http://fishshell.com/> for both scripting (saner syntax, space handling) and interactive (multiline syntax highlighted prompt) and never looked back.

But this makes me consider ipython again, perhaps even as main shell.
Hmm, after %rehashx I can use commands without !, e.g. git diff. <http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/interactive/shell.html...
Moreover, this means I can have a notebook experience for my shell. Together with the new directory navigation and friendly URLs this is becoming very attractive!

There is however a deal-breaker: no smart completion for shell commands. But it'd be clearly possible to implement it by harnessing bash (or zsh or fish) for completions.
Didn't realize how vulnerable even a simple NSLog was... I wonder how many websites have sensitive information they console.log but forgot to take out for production
> Why do you need a woman?

I don't. I don't need french onion soup either, but it's sure a nice treat on occasion.

> isolating female students from male teachers

Her current math teacher is male, her science teacher is a woman and former pilot of helicopter gunships. I'm her dad, and I help her with her math and science at home. One of our good friends in the neighborhood is a PhD biostatistician who is the CEO of her own research firm.

But why ask for what's common? Within my social circle, half the guys are engineers. Heck, I can arrange for her to get a trip to SpaceX. I don't need the megaphone of Hacker News to get that. In fact, the mom of my son's best friends (twins) is an environmental engineer. So "female engineer in San Diego" is actually a tractable problem within my social circle.

Finding women in each of the many STEM careers is quite another thing. And for that, I tossed it out to Hacker News. When I post things to Hacker News, I generally don't expect a big response. Most of my posts die in /new. This didn't, which I'm grateful for.

> why carefully structure inequality in?

Because equality is often an unstable equilibrium. So exerting a force opposed to the instantaneous natural tendency may be the right response at any given time. In fact, the system may have to be permanently pre-stressed to change from unstable to stable.
When I saw one of the main CryptoCat developers present in 2012, I came away with the impression that nobody on the core team understood crypto, security, or software engineering. This audit is another rock on the mountain of evidence I've seen supporting this impression in the following years.

A really nice job by iSec, though.
You nailed it. Do you know of any editors which work this way, except emacs?
Negative. This is just a tool for creating Metro apps and it has existed since Windows 8 came out. People are talking about it now because Microsoft just open sourced it.

How does it compare with AngularJS? There might be some overlap but it is not a competitor. In fact, Microsoft uses AngularJS frequently on their sessions, documents, templates, etc.

http://channel9.msdn.com/events/build/2014?sort=sequential&d...

Edit: It seems like Microsoft is transforming WinJS into a general purpose JS library.

Your Online World: #ClickClean or Dirty?
Does any of this remind you of 2010 (Space Odyssey part two), where the US and Russian astronauts (that flew together) were told not to communicate anymore? I read that a few years ago, and thought that it was somewhat comical in that it was based on what I thought were very dated world relations. Now it is coming true.
NASA Internal Memo: Suspension of NASA contact with Russian entities
I put Ouya in the title, because this pertains to gaming as well. For a while, we've been hearing about Amazon's new game dev teams...seems like the Fire Tv is the target platform, since it plays .99 cent games.

The gaming feature is a game changer for the price point $99. Although I know ouya, was around this price, Amazon has the prime market to compete with the likes of Google Play, and Apple iTunes.
Show HN – Command line method for digitizing photos of whiteboards
About a month ago, after searching for an existing solution, I built a little script to take photo's of whiteboards and clean them up/make them into near perfect digital representations. Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash
convert $1 -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 $2

Example Input:

Input 1: http://i.imgur.com/CTSIPwm.jpg
Input 2: http://i.imgur.com/37GXrwo.jpg

Example Output:

Output 1: http://i.imgur.com/Qf3jkBW.png
Output 2: http://i.imgur.com/oNueb0L.png

The basic procedure was outlined in this excellent post for cleaning up whiteboard photos using GIMP: http://matthew.mceachen.us/blog/how-to-clean-up-photos-of-whiteboards-with-gimp-403.html I just replicated the procedure using Imagemagick.

Since I do a ton of work on whiteboards nearly every day, I found this really helpful for managing photos of my whiteboard work. I figured I should share this with you guys, since the HN community seems like the kind of people who'd make use of it.
How to get beyond the parasite economy
Point taken, but I'm still not entirely convinced. I agree that what happens online is just as real. But today, online is still feels like a separate space. It's like opening a window (our devices may literally represent this window but I'm using the term as analogy). I think "blurring the lines" has to do with removing the window from the equation.
For what reason did you feel compelled to make that blindingly obvious point?
Familiarity, for a start. It was raised during the public preview and beta.
One good reason to use a VM - JIT's can generate very very fast code. Hotspot has gotten so good that there are several cases where numeric java code I've written is faster than reasonably tuned C.
I thought Microsoft was working on Typescript as an alternate to pure JavaScript. How does WinJS fit into that picture?
Na, you just threw out democratically elected leaders, multiple times.
