Nowhere does the original article make the statement […] that we had no understanding of why GFT worked (merely that the assumptions were not made explicit).

It’s very difficult to read the folllowing line from the FT article and reach that conclusion:

“The problem was that Google did not know – could not begin to know – what linked the search terms with the spread of flu.”

But the authors of the science paper that Tim Harford refers to did ‘begin to know’ how Google Flu Trends worked [1]. That’s how they developed several reasonable suggestions for what caused the over-prediction problem. In particular, the suggestion that changes in the google search algorithm caused a bias in the flu trends results, could easily be tested [2]. Perhaps we would use a large dataset to do that. And that’s ok.

The suggestion that statisticians suddenly forget all of their training when n reaches a certain threshold is a misrepresentation of the facts. There are bad analyses based on large data sets just as there are bad analyses based on small data sets.
We have tools to deal with large datasets and multiple comparisons [3]. We don't need to throw our hands in the air and panic.

[1] http://www.sciencemag.org/content/343/6176/1203

[2] For instance we could check that to see if the over-predictions of flu cases started on the same day as the search algorithm change.

There's presumably no more energy being dispersed than with manual brakes. The current brakes will heat less (due to energy in the ERS).

If the ERS is full, you either switch over to dumping the heat into the brakes (no ERS, switching problems), or you start to drain the ERS to make room (no switching problems). Draining the ERS will give you the same thermal problem you have with no ERS, except you have the choice of not dumping it into the brake pads - you can have seperate external resistor coils, glowing and radiating.

Then is it bad for some people to live in constant avoidance state? Alcoholism until death, anti-depressants until you stop breathing or jump off the building.

The worst registration "CAPTCHA" question ever (SciDB)
To me this does not sound "rigged". It sounds like one participant in the market feels entitled to the profit another market participant makes.

One issue with most criticism of financial markets is that people tend to view only the price, and may be the transaction cost. What they completely fail to see is risk management and liquidity. Both have intrinsic value, and people are selling and buying liquidity and risk management. This concept is hard to grasp. But the HFT traders are providing a value to the market.

Restricting HFT will undoubtedly lower liquidity, and maybe even increase risk. That's why regulators are so anxious about it.

The HFT traders are indeed taking on some amount of risk, which otherwise would be with the stock exchange or the other participants. The salient question is whether or not the competition among HFTs is hard enough for the Bertrand paradox to kick in.
I respect a person's taste being tuned to minimizing number of code lines, so the asm output is like a haiku. But I hope others respect another person's taste that happens to be tuned to appreciated doing some of the things that can be done in such a system.

This is easier said than done.

Most developed nations have all kinds of barriers and quotas in place to make it difficult for aliens to fill jobs that might otherwise be filled by citizens.

I highly recommend drinking a cup of hot water in the morning. Actually at least some of the benefit of a cup of coffee is the warming effect on the body. (Which is why showers are a great way to wake up in the morning) You also can't discount the placebo effect which is equally effective even if you know it's a placebo. Oh also hydration is important for wakefulness. It's also just damn comforting to have a warm drink, especially in the morning. I normally drink 2-3 cups of hot water each morning.

The typical definition is where standard data management approaches do not work due to high volume, velocity, and/or variety of data sources.

What are standard data management approaches? I don't know. Usually they mean single machine relational db's.

But the thing is that once you get to a certain point on these three you need specialized solutions. High volumes of transactional data with real-time reporting might be handled well by something like Postgres-XC, but that won't handle data of sufficient variety. High velocity data may be best handled with something like VoltDB, but it can't handle volume. Etc....

Interesting how so far the comments on this story overwhelmingly agree with the article that it's not worth it to lie. Regardless of how true this point is I have to wonder whether such unanimity in the discussion might be in part because the people who found that lying works quite well for them are more reluctant to share their opinion, for obvious reasons.

Such as when you have a 5 week old baby sharing a bedroom with you. I've never been shy about drinking coffee, but the amount I've consumed in the last month is terrifying. I'm actually trying to be a bit more sensible about it after a horrible caffeine comedown recently, which could have competed with those in my past from far harder substances!

Well, think of it this way: 90% chance if they like your inflated resume, they will ask you for a technical interview. If you don't pass that, ok, no harm done, if you do, you might get a job, and they think you will be able to do the job at hand.

I've advocated what Michael is saying before here. I was lucky to never have to do it, but I have been on the recruiting side and didn't care much for some resume inflation on candidates (specially in companies where HR are involved in the process because no one has 5+ years of mongo experience but if they hear you need an experience mongo guy that is what they are going to put in the ad)

Eh, your above comment was still pretty misguided:

> That's the wrong way around. Do everything to make sure you are happy, with or without her. It's up to her if she wants to be happy with you.

...though you're pulling in the right direction here.

It's not either/or; you & your partner have to take care of yourselves, in the context of taking care of your entire family unit. I've been married for 14 years and have 2 kids. If I ignore the balance and either forget to suss out (and attend to) the needs of my partner & kids, or if I try to "do what they want" with no attention to my own needs, it goes poorly for us all. My wife has to do the same thing.

There's work and short-term sacrifice involved; sometimes I do things I wouldn't do, on my own, because I have longer-term goals in mind that rely on my relationships w/ wife & daughters.

But the same applies to us all, and this is something we discuss with our kids all the time -- e.g., "sure, I could clean up all this stuff myself, but I'm probably going to be cranky about it, and we'll have less time to read together this afternoon...".

I take the point (and approve) of the article generally, this quote struck me as ill-founded:

> Why drink a liquid that costs a fortune and makes you fall down, unless you believe there is something seriously wrong with what you would otherwise feel like?

Maybe just because it's fun? This almost feels like an appeal to the naturalistic fallacy.

I'm an infrequent drinker (I drink perhaps 3-4 times a year), but when I do I get a kick out of it. I access a different state of mind that's extremely fun to be in. I'm moderately gregarious in general, but after a drink I become extremely outgoing and confident. I probably wouldn't enjoy being like that all the time, but it's a great place to be now and again.

The quote seems to imply that one might change one's mind state simply to escape - which should of course be approached with caution. I just think we should be careful not to lump that in with changing mind state simply for fun.

How to Do Market Research When Localizing Your App
Yeah. Sadly, in order to protect users against servers MITMing their video chats, the WebRTC spec was crippled to require that the central server in a group video chat have the keys required to MITM it.

I'm unfortunately not joking. The original spec allowed Javascript to directly provide an encryption key; this was removed because someone working for one of the browser vendors argued it would allow companies to MITM video chat (I think it was Google?) In order to make group video chat feasible, this was then replaced with a new feature where the central server sent out a copy of the encryption key over the encrypted RTP channel, meaning it now needed to have the keys to decrypt all the video passing through it.

So yes, it's essentially useless to the retail or wholesale investor.

Having liquidity available to take is not useless. You should re-read the article - it is a zero sum game between liquidity sellers, and a positive sum game between liquidity sellers and liquidity consumers.

At the end of the day they're levying a tax on the rest of the market...

It's not a tax. If you choose not to take liquidity you don't pay for it. If you do choose to take liquidity you pay less than you would under other systems (e.g., specialists).
