Honestly this is probably just a bug, if this post gets seen by the right people I'm sure it will be fixed.
I maybe wrote it badly. Skrebbel said it a lot better. It's about providing something that's on truly higher level.

It's nice that Halide attempts to separate the algorithm and scheduling, however as of now it's also possible in OpenCL too. The implementations are just so bad at it that it's not really useful.
THIS is incorrect. From the article:

>A direct feed from one exchange could be $10,000 to $60,000 a month. If the SIP is no longer real-time, it means that people who want to get real-time data have to pay, well, significantly more. It’s no exaggeration here to say you go from $1 a month to well over $100,000, with your own networking staff and a room full of computers just to get real-time pricing.

$100k a month is now something you can stump up out of your savings is it?
Yeah, w3schools is not a good example. Stack Exchange, however...

>To avoid payment for access, presumably access would need to be free.

There is absolutely no reason to presume that. It could be one flat rate.

>We could make the markets go super-slowly, but you know what will happen then? Correlated securities in other countries will trade at high frequency and dominate the price discovery process for "our" listings. That won't help our economy, it won't help reliability, and it won't help us assess taxes.

If our intention is to kill HFT (and it probably should be), we could simply levy a very tiny transaction tax on trades. It would instantly render the practice unprofitable.

Retail and institutional investors wouldn't even notice the tax (although they would probably notice the fact that HFT isn't skimming money from their trades).

I find that line more distracting than scrolling.

I don't know what the solution might be, but this is not it.
I forget if it was on The Daily Show or 60 minutes, but the "solution" the new exchange came up with was to actually slow down his trades by fractions of a second such they all arrived at the same time. Once he did that his order fill rate went up and the HFT got cut out. He did this while a 60km fiber optic spool

So "super slowly" isnt exactly what he was doing

Totally fair. It's the NYTimes' fault for not bothering to examine the site, but Kudos to Vox for getting a 500 word press release.
I now listen to a lot of audiobooks - I only listen to the unabridged ones otherwise it feels like cheating. The big advantage being I can listen to them while walking to/from work and while doing other things like cooking - that's probably 2 hours a day.

Ask HN: How to set and achieve goals in small startup?
I'm founder of startup with small team of people (4 myself included). I want to ask HN, how you set up goals for the future? How far you plan in future and how detail. How you meter and achieve your goals, employers goals, team goals?
On a purely technical level, the Vox software is really quite astounding, it allows relatively non-technical people to create a quite polished site with relatively little technical knowledge. I've been amazed at what the people at http://www.podiumcafe.com have been able to do with it, with relatively little technical knowledge
It will probably have almost as many security issues as Javascript has on the Internet today, but even so, it will probably be worth it, if it enables a ton of good things that weren't possible before either with cryptocurrencies or on the current Internet.
Small gripe, based upon prior painful experience... you should always set a timeout on curl requests (or any others for that matter). There's not one by default!

It's -m <seconds> in the curl command line client.

Ok, thanks for the useful link (I think). When I played with wireless door sensors and Arduino, detecting door state reliably wasn't happening. Maybe it's the wired vs wireless factor that gives yours the edge. Maybe that's the trade off to know open/closed state with certainty, is to use wired sensors.
Would it be so surprising? Google has been doing this for years to other browsers. Blocking based on UA, using features not supported by other browsers (and showing those features to those browsers), manipulating users to downlaod Chrome...

Firefox was just way too big piece of the income to poke it.

(Also, high frequency trading can't have much to do with finding the price points of stuff.)

I don't have a horse in this race (I don't know the subject area), but most of that comment was a straw man argument.

I realise that was probably a mistake in reading, but even I can see the implementation ought to be somewhere between simple and possible: Publicise the algorithm for a random delay between a tenth of a second and (more seldom) ten seconds for all buys/sells. Or something similar.

Make certain to have good random number generators.

Edit: If it is a good thing (or possible) to do this I don't know.
I know it's a pretty popular view to skewer Oracle, considering how much money they make from licensing and how little they seem to do.

From the other side, I work at a medium-sized consultancy that handles Oracle databases as well as other products. I work with open source, big data technologies (Hadoop, Mongo, Cassandra), and I talk to some of our top Oracle guys sometimes. Oracle does everything, and it does it damn-near automatically - look at the concepts guide (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e40540.pdf) if you want to see how many types of JOIN an Oracle DB can choose from. Exadata has more, I think, and half the performance stuff isn't even documented, it's just buried in query plans. I'll tell an Oracle guy, "hey, we just got hash-bucket joins", or skip scans, or some other enhancement, and it's like the OSS competition is still in the 90s compared to what Oracle can do.

You can complain that Oracle charges a lot of money, but in a lot of cases it's NIH syndrone. Drop in Postgres instead, then spend 6 months tuning it, or spend the difference buying extra hardware to scale out. Roll your own ERP, and forever have a small dev team of 4 guys who cost you half a million dollars to support it, because you didn't want to buy off-the-shelf, because your pride as a developer stops you from learning someone else's tool.
I'm not sure, but the biggest problem was building on top of SMS/MMS? Isn't it partially the fault of insufficient investigating the concequences of the architecture decision? That's the impression after reading your article.

The idea of turing complete crytocontracts is super exciting, but I understand why Satoshi didn't add a turing complete language in Bitcoin.

Turing complete contracts add a whole new level of complexity (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem). I guess many (most?) could be solved by limiting computation time - it it's still a scary world. If one just considers how many significant issues the much more basic Bitcoin protocol has managed to hide (e.g. transaction malleability). If implementing a "basic" protocol is that hard - the idea of a turing complete protocol is formidable!

Are You A Successful Failure?
Thanks for pointing out the tax idea (a fairly popular one these days). It has some of the same issues as slowing the market down. For example, a transaction tax on one market will push transaction volume to other markets, like squeezing a water balloon. A lot of securities have correlated or even 1:1 equivalents in other jurisdictions (e.g. Europe vs. US), which results in a tricky situation. Basically, whatever market pushes their costs up first risks suffocating itself.

I'm not sure what you mean by "one flat rate." Exchanges already charge a flat rate for connectivity (the rate is per month, usually a couple thousand bucks or so).
In other words, it's the opposite of keming.

I'm not being robbed if I give it away of my free will. I'd call it "paying" with privacy. Facebook sucking isn't fact, it's your opinion.

Yes, the things I mention are possible thanks to The Internet, but The Internet alone doesn't allow me to do it, we need clients (and possibly servers) to use The Internet to communicate etc. Facebook offers these things. It's not the only offer, but please refer me to a usable alternative that my friends use/would use and I'll gladly consider using it.
I spent many years bashing Oracle. Sometimes it's for the pain of the installer being different to deploying open source software, other times it's for the bill the company had to pay to Oracle. Then I actually started working with the database product, and this was to use Oracle to be a warehouse for MongoDB data. The experience has made me fairly positive of the Oracle product, fairly keen to avoid MongoDB in general, and has also spoiled my experience of MySQL and Postgres since because of features I've been spoilt with.

Reminds me of Stockhom 1890:

I did watch the video. It is a neat idea. However it is something that is already made explicitly possible by OpenCL.

If you write a kernel which doesn't use local memory nor doesn't use the local_id it produces a kernel that is effectively a Halide pipeline stage. The points can be evaluated in arbitrary order (spec says everything is implementation defined).

If we look at the blur example on the video the OpenCL implementation is also free to effectively merge the stages like in Halide. It's because the spec only defines that whatever the previous kernel invocation has written must be visible for the next kernel. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sure OpenCL allows you to fiddle around with low level details, but it also allows you to write completely platform neutral code that is then the responsibility of the platform to actually optimize.

I do agree that Halide allows you to easily explore the different scheduling options, that's something OpenCL is not capable of. In OpenCL you either do it manually or leave it as totally defined by the implementation.
That is true, but at a very large multinational, I used to recieve over 100 send to all emails a day, and three real ones.

Some of the 'send to all' emails were pretty important, so I had to read them, but a lot of them added nothing, and were sent to 400'000 people. I think each inappropriate global send to all cost $1000+, assuming people disgarded it pretty quickly.

+Low estimate, assuming it takes 1 second to disgard the email, everyone reads it, and gets paid minimum wage.
Unfortunately we cannot offer something like this through the App Store. However, you can request a refund via Apple for a purchase in the App Store. It's a bit of a hassle though...
>For example, a transaction tax on one market will push transaction volume to other markets, like squeezing a water balloon.

Actually the exact opposite will happen.

Only the HFTs will want to move away, the rest will want to move to such a market. For the rest of them, operating in a market that allows HFT is pretty much the same thing as operating in a market for lemons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

Asymmetric information in markets means 'the bad drives out the good'.

Just as running an honest used car market will attract buyers and sellers, running an honest stock exchange will attract traders.

The paper was specifically about hand doing your schedules, not the compiler doing them automagically, which is a huge pipe dream at any rate. For the programs in the class, you are looking at a few orders of magnitude in perf differences for different schedules, which is why the programmer needs control so they can be guaranteed the performance they are expecting. Compilers only reliably optimize at the few percentage point nice to have level.

Scientists create a responsive patch that administers a course of medication
A group of scientists from South Korea have not only created this but they have taken the self-monitoring theory to a new level.

The rectangular patch is 2-inches long and made of stretchable nano-materials. Within the materials are heat-activated silica nanoparticles that monitor muscle activity and release therapeutic agents according to the body temperature of the patient.

The author makes a massive leap of faith between "I downloaded the pages with Chrome and Firefox user agents, and there was differences" and "can't understand the differences, therefore there's obviously malicious intent".

Cross-browser development, especially for cutting-edge, novel features on a massive codebase is hard. Not insurmountably, but it doesn't allow one to automatically attribute it to malice.
I really enjoyed this online book, http://practicaltypography.com, and the typesetting is gorgeous.
Cf. Peter Drucker: the job of any company is not to generate sales, it's to generate repeat customers.

(Apple's stores exemplify this lesson with their emphasis on customer happiness with the overall experience over actual hard selling. Which is why those stores make so much money. My wife talks of going into one as "worshipping at the Church of Jobs" -- they're designed to generate an emotional impact, wit the goal that sales will follow. Now compare with a purely sales-focussed retail operation, like, oh, WalMart ...)

Apple’s Purchase of Burstly- A Look
I was born in Africa and I'm trying to get out right now. It's not easy, but it's not impossible.

I am also working at emigrating, and it is a painful process. Huge amounts of bureaucracy. I have to shell out for English exams (despite English being my first language). I then have to shell out more for my work experience and degree to be assessed by the Australian Computer Society. Getting letters from ex-colleagues has proven to be challenging, because the letters need to be notarised - hopefully these will be acceptable- no guarantees.

I then lose an arbitrary two years of work experience points (at least) because I didn't study in Australia. Finally, assuming that I have enough points, and there isn't a revision to the Skilled Occupation List, and I am invited to apply for a Visa, there is another small fortune to be spent on visas. Any small oversight or error, and my money is gone. If I don't have enough points, I have to spend the same amount to have my experience assessed again in six months.

Fortunately, I have enough saved up enough money to play the emigration game, the same probably applies to you. Most people have not.
Selfishness is a virtue and not a sin as taught and propagated through society, religion and culture.

Well, you're right, but Apple's model is fundamentally different. I don't think Android will switch to such a model in the (near) future. That would mean a lot of things have to be changed, and hundreds of thousands of apps would break. So we can safely assume Android will stay with its current system. Thus there is only one possibility left: improve the current system. Rejection of individual permissions would definitely the most powerful improvement, while still being easy to implement.

This is just FUD. Google has typically provided full functionality to all modern browsers — fallback versions being served to older UAs only. Typical advanced features Google uses are things like SPDY — this differs from the old-fashioned Microsoft embrace-extend-extinguish in that they are almost all standardised features, in a variety of stages of implementation among different browsers.

And users aren't "manipulated" into downloading Chrome - that's a weasel word.
A fun guide to Email Marketing Metrics
My biggest epiphany: money itself doesn't mean anything. A lot of people make it their goal to be rich, but to me, being rich is a meaningless goal. It's about what you can do with money. You really have to dig in your deeper wants for this. You say you want to be rich? What exactly is your definition of being rich? Is it fame? The ability to buy whatever you want?

More often than most people realize, their deep wishes can be accomplished by another way than working your butt off or winning the lottery.

My motivation for being rich (in the monetary sense) would be that I don't have to work anymore. My deeper wish is the absense of authority (a boss) and to be able to spend more time with my children. If you think of it that way, it would be crazy to work more hours, right? I work 4 days a week now, hardly no overtime, and my boss values responsible individuals more than mindless office drones. I have more than enough time to see my children growing up, and even enough time for some challenging side projects and hobbies. Which brings me to another epiphany, I guess: time might be money, but money != time. Time you spend with your kids can never be taken away from you, time you don't spend with your kids can never be brought back. It's gone forever.

I'm the richest man in the world.
