Youre saying the reason physics and engineering departments are 1% females is because theres massive widespread discrimination across EVERY department at every college in THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Thats the best explanation?
Not that society is socially condintioning women, not that women are biologically different and choose care giver professions. Nope no other reasons.

"No advanced reproduction technology" is adequate for this. Even basic reproduction technology is fairly sophisticated stuff, with the exception of "the rhythm method" and basic (if very, very annoying) condoms, neither of which will affect the answers given by this analysis as only actual reproduction events matter. We assume that people can survive and procreate, and the gene pool cares little for in what style they survive and procreate in.

I see from other replies there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. This isn't an exercise in what tech levels might be used to rebuild civilization. This is an exercise in how much diversity is required to be in the gene pool for the species Homo sapiens to continue, as at that level we're still reeling from the previous near-extinction event we experienced.

Indeed, even with modern advanced technology, we are still tied to the gene pool. Until we can more easily and reliably rewrite genes before the fertilized egg begins to reproduce we're still stuck with this problem. "Designer babies" remain science fiction... tantalizingly close science fiction, close enough that the ethics debates are increasingly less abstract, but still not here yet.
No; he’s saying that you have to choose: if you really believe that the same information should be equally available to everyone, you need to admit HFT that reacts to that information as it becomes available.

It’s perfectly reasonable to argue that shouldn’t be allowed, but then you are (implicitly) arguing that either (a) complete market information should not be publicly available or (b) there should be some mechanism which prevents some individuals from acting on that information as quickly as they would like to.

What is "Comic Neue" supposed to mean?

It's "Neue Helvetica", not "Helvetica Neue". It's only called "Helvetica Neue" in lists for the sake of alphabetical sorting.

German "Neue" always stands before the noun. "New Helvetica" -> "Neue Helvetica". The generic form is "Neu", so "Helvetica New" -> "Helvetica Neu".
No. The symmetric key that is used to encrypt the message is itself encrypted once for every recipient with their respective public keys, so the only difference is filesize (for most intents and purposes negligable). Of course, more recipients equals more targets for an attacker.

Look, the rPi started off as a play-thing for kids, and there is now a valid rPi generation. It is expanding as a platform. But: in the industrial world, the rPi is a small fish. You can get an rPi precisely because some other industry has already driven the demand/price/costs down for it to be affordable/profitable to build a new brand around what is, a common industry practice/device mind-set.

At a previous job, after saving his ass one time, I became the one that the guy at the top of our company's org chart called upon anytime he needed/wanted anything I.T. related done.

I was in his office setting up a new MBP for him a few years ago and he was talking about a guy that he had just "ok'd" on being hired. H.R. had asked him directly because the guy had been in some trouble many years ago but had apparently "stayed clean" since then.

When asked if he was worried about hiring the guy because of his record, he remarked (and I'm paraphrasing), "Are you kidding? You should have seen me in college. The only difference between me and him is that he got caught."
For anyone interested, Paul Snyder and I are running a SICP study group going on right now. We also have online and in person meetings in Philadelphia and King of Prussia. We are currently doing one minor section every month, which averages out to roughly one homework question every 3 days.

For anyone interested we will help you get setup and started, no prior programming needed.

We are running section 1.3 this month, so there is not much to catch up! Also, anyone who wants to work it their own pace is welcome too!

For Apple to maintain the lead they have had they need to continue to innovate new types of products, not just keep improving what they have. I think there is plenty of opportunity for this. Think smart appliances, houses, cars. The question is whether they still have the ability to do that with Jobs gone. Time will tell.

Edit: Probably the most likely new category would be wearable computing now that I think about it. Longterm perhaps electronics integrated with the body.

It looks like they indeed also had a DSL for image processing. Despite what the Halide presentation may be emphasizing, its novelty is not so much in the DSL than the superoptimizer that comes with it, though.

Now, superoptimization is not a particularly new topic either (see e.g. [1]), but Halide demonstrated that improvements can be significant in this domain. Far more impressive than, e.g., superoptimization applied to generic assembly code (hasn't really worked so far), query optimization, etc.

Wouldn't this be as problematic for Samsung (or any other vendor with high end offerings, but Samsung is the big dog) as Apple? While Samsung has some sub-$200 phones, doesn't the massive profit from the latest and greatest make that possible?

When I was a kid writing essays in school on Microsoft Word, I used Arial for awhile, but I started to hate it, even though I didn't know squat about typography. It was just ugly. Ugly on the screen, ugly on paper. So I switched largely to Verdana, though I did go through a Trebuchet phase. To this day, I loathe the look of Arial. When I was first introduced to Helvetica, still knowing nothing about type, I thought it was really pretty.

There's more to it than snobbery.

Back in the day, hacking university systems was generally frowned upon, but never really punished. Today, it's a federal offense to tamper with university systems. See Aaron Schwartz case.

Back when analog cell phones were out, you could program your Motorola cell phone to be a scanner and pick up conversations people were having in your area. Safe harmless fun. You could also clone your analog phone as well because of a loop hole in FCC laws. Now, it's still possible to do on GSM systems, but you run the risk of getting caught and cloning GSM devices is federal offense with hefty jail sentences attached.

Back in the day, you could hack your cable box so you could get all the premium channels for free. Cable companies half heartedly tried to track down people who used them, but it was pretty low on their radar. Try that today and within hours, the feds will most likely be on your doorstep asking why you were tampering with private property and the cable company will most likely file a lawsuit against you.

Times have changed man. The 80's and 90's were like the last frontier, until the feds jumped in and started creating laws to really hamper people from pushing the boundaries. Hacking went from really fun, and having inside knowledge to everything you considered doing you had to think about the possibility of doing hard time and dealing with prosecutors with a hard on to convict hackers and send them to jail for long periods of time.
It depends on what you are doing in JDE really. There are several development tools, some that are easy for people with no technical experience (you mouse intensive development) but there is also tools that require a strong base of C or Java. It's fairly flexible. (Im a 15+ year JDE developer and sysadmin)
My attempt at a charitable interpretation of Jalopy's post is that he is saying it's actually a bad thing to transfer wealth from informed traders. This is because David Einhorn has demonstrated great competence at trading, and if HFTs predate him it reduces his incentive to continue transmitting useful information to the markets.

I find this to be an argument I can't dismiss easily.

I've added a link to your comment to the original post. It's important to spread this idea as well.

There's been a shift over the years towards end user workflow-based visual programming and report generation (something many traditional ERP systems left to tools like Crystal Reports).

There are limitations to what can be accomplished in that sort of end user programming (wouldn't enjoy integrating with an arbitrary third party service, for example).

However this tends to run parallel to the regular scripting and COM/CORBA/DLL interfaces.

I must admit that the system I've worked with most recently doesn't offer any sort of end user programming or report generation, and I miss this badly. Those facilities, while basic, really lessen the burden on software engineers and allow us to focus on the more difficult tasks which deliver the most business value.

I'm working in-house (not consulting) so would much rather see our end users creating their own reports than have to, for example, put a new supplier integration module on hold in order to have a developer pull together a critical sales report.

In many deployments, I've seen not only business analysts take advantage of a simple programmable environment but also departmental power users. It's not uncommon in some larger organisations to find sales staff writing their own reports or finance professionals scripting integration with spreadsheets (yes, spreadsheets and ERP systems usually do co-exist really comfortably!). This usually depends on sensible RBAC and a well designed schema, to keep users from making damaging mistakes.

So to answer your question (I think) - most good ERP software will offer a balance between end user programming/reporting and integration features aimed at full time developers.
I think that you are absolutely right that the web has changed, but I think that it's pretty easy and cliche to blame 'Murican media on it. It's inevitable that things like the internet are going change for a multitude of different reasons - to blame any one seems shortsighted. People were making the same claims about Endless September and the AOL invasions; but the internet adapted and became something else. In one case, it turned into the internet you remember as the "original".

The internet has changed, but to try to make a claim that there ever was an "original internet culture" is to miss what the internet is and always has been, an amorphous mass of people, constantly changing and evolving into something else based on the technologies available to it.

I loved the net of the 90's and even the early 2000's as well, and I miss it and remember it fondly. But to try to say that it was the original internet; you might as well just be yelling "Get off my lawn". And even then, the BBS folks might want a word with you.

I'm saying that if anybody can successfully predict your intentions for next year based on your observable actions to date then they have a right to the fruit of those labors, and that you don't have a cognizable interest in "Prevent that person from telling the rest of the world about my intentions for next year", even though that might lead to you making less money than you would but for our friend who reads actions well.
Frankly, a perfectly justifiable reason to perform a redirect.

I can't say with any certainty what things were like at the exact time of the block, but I just popped open Google Maps with a Windows Phone (which doesn't have most of the latest large updates, just some hotfixes from like 6+ months back) and pan, zoom, etc. all work just fine and is very smooth. And this is one of the earlier phones. On top of this, all they did was redirect back to google.com, without any message as to what was going on. (e.g.: your browser does not work well with Google Maps yet, you can do a local search from our main website for now) The whole thing just... smells kind of bad to me. Regardless of whatever statement they might have made.

Isn't this sorted? IIRC, this was down to Microsoft not complying with terms of use wrt. the implementation of ads.

I believe in the big kerfuffle that went on, Microsoft was basically saying "Work with us and we'll comply", but Google basically didn't give them any APIs or anything to work with in order to make a compliant app. (I think they even ended up finding some private APIs in order to make some stuff work) I think, in the end, the reason it got banned was down to some clause in their terms of use that required them to use web technology in their implementation, which would have horribly crippled the app, and was not particularly feasible to implement in any reasonable amount of time. Not because Microsoft refused to display ads.

Google are not, and never were, a "white knight" - they're just a better-than-average-at-openness tech company. If those examples are the worth you can highlight, then the comparison to Microsoft—who, if you remember, actively tried to eliminate Linux!—is beyond preposterous.

Unfortunately, I can't really give a good response to this. Part of what I might be able to say is private related to my job, and part of it is just a general feel for what the company is slowly turning into, rather than any specific enumerable list of things I can point to. There are things I can point to, such as how they handle Youtube and the content creators on it, or how they handle dealing with Microsoft, or customer support, the automated systems which hurt those that provide value for Google, etc., but I don't think any of it can live up to the level of "tried to kill Linux" that Microsoft was at a while ago. But I think that they might be starting to head in that direction, and that a lot of people who actually view them as a sort of "white knight" (see lots of comments on HN for examples of that when it comes to Google, or news, etc.) will gladly welcome that.

I guess I did have a few things to say in response. Agree or disagree with me as you will, this is entirely my own opinion.

Yes, but Greenlight Partners (Einhorn's fund) is a Limited Partnership that can include Pensions, school endowments, etc, in addition to "other rich people".

Vanguard's CIO (Gus Sauter) has mentioned in a CNBC interview (see http://www.cnbc.com/id/49434073) that the liquidity providing aspects of HFT tech are valuable - ie, the tools that help the real market makers fill orders on the other side. In the same breath he says the abusive practices (predatory trading) need to be reigned in.

Chris Stucchio's post seems to be defending the "predatory" side of HFT's as "spreading around" the information advantage conferred by hard work and due diligence into the workings of a company.

I'm refuting that by describing the actual effort that goes into attaining the information advantage obtained by Einhorn, Ackman, etc he describes and contrasting it with the effort involved in HFT predatory trading.

Which effort is more important and should be rewarded?
If you release private information on an exchange (by for example, buying up a million shares), first, you just committed insider trading, which is illegal, and second, you just made that private information public (showing that their is a much greater demand than the market believed).

Once it hits the exchange, it is public information, and anybody is now free to act on that information.

If HFTs liberate access to price information, then does that make them the "open-source software" equivalent of our current economic operating system? That is, in the same sense that OSS delivers bundles of information about how to do various computational tasks efficiently via source code, HFTs deliver bundles of information about how to value companies efficiently via the ticker tape.

In the same way that the source code reveals the genius of the programmer's understanding, the excellance of an HFT is revealed by the report of the ticker tape.
