Of course it's different - when everyone's at risk, nobody's paying for others' foolishness.
Until date no company was able to tackle that issue. There's some startups trying to solve that, for instance http://www.jobbox.io, but I think that problem will be solved with a mix of machine learning and referrals.

This problem is very difficult to fix because we're dealing w/ people and their careers, which bring confidentiality into the equation and that messes up a bit.

Also, this issue is exponentially horrible when it comes to tech recruitment. No one is f* available nowadays but there are plenty of passive tech workers.
That's not what's happening here. Traders are arbitraging and reacting to public trades and orders on multiple markets.

If you walk through a physical market where 8 apple carts are lined up, all selling apples for $1, buy every apple at cart #1, then buy every apple at cart #2, and so on, would you be surprised to find the price moving up or sellers stepping away as you approached carts #7 and #8?

The same thing happens when trading. Securities trade on multiple markets and multiple exchanges cannot match cross-market trades atomically. It's absurd to suggest that one side of the trade should be expected to close his eyes to what's happening in the world around him and sit tight while a huge trader runs his quote over. Why is one party more deserving of a good price than the other?

If you route to one exchange only there is no way for anyone to see or react to your marketable order before it executes, ever. If you route your orders intelligently, it can be very difficult or impossible for anyone to pull away before you get your fills. That's the executing broker's job. Instead of getting better at his job, this broker would rather complain to a very vocal conspiracy theorist who has been proven wrong many times in the past by people with actual experience and data: http://zacharydavid.com/bad-research/the-hunsader-follies/

> I would love to see a world where the companies that own last-mile infrastructure are required to lease the lines to any ISP the end consumer wants; this would create a competitive market and mostly eliminate the problem

This is not enough. In Germany we already do have that situation, and the big leader (German Telekom, who own the vast majority of cables) just leases them for bad conditions. For example, their own customers got "real" flatrates while leasing competitors got only traffic-based contracts, so when they sell flatrates they have big trouble with traffic-intensive customers. (In the last year, the situation became more complicated, but that's another topic).

We should go one step further and require a complete separation of infrastructure providers, ISPs and content providers.

That is, a company who owns cables should only lease them to ISPs and should not be allowed to play ISP itself. Also, the ISPs should not be allowed offer content themselves.

(Also, the owner of the infrastructure (cables) should probably not be a company at all, but that's another topic and not important here, as long as the separation works.)

As a bad analogy, a company who sells cars should not own the streets.

Ask HN: Open-source hardware business models, what are the options?
Hi,

I am wondering what are the benefits/risks of making hardware products open-source. One question: How to make profit, when hardware is open-source?

a) Arduino is a nice example that open-source hardware can be profitable. Is this an exception (i.e. are there other open-source hardware companies that failed?)

b) What other examples of open-source hardware companies are there, and how do they differ from Arduino?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Show HN: Beamly OnDemand
About two months ago I participated in the DevLabLive hackathon and developed (along with a friend) a small Chrome extension that embed Beamly historical tweets (the relevant tweets that came out while the show was airing for the first time) into the most popular VOD platforms (in the uk).

I really enjoyed the hackathon and with the help of the beamly team we are finally able to officially release the plugin.

More information about the plugin can be found here:

And of course the code is up in Github:

Except that what's happening is that the order is against a "cart" with sufficient inventory to completely fulfill the initial order, and other actors are interrupting the transaction to add carts 2-n. Is that not the case?

OK, slightly ignorant question here, but SQL is kind of a standard for RDBMS's. As far as I am aware no similar starts exists in the NoSQL world, so I would have assumed that it would make switching harder. If you are just using it for basic stuff, then "SELECT * FROM table" is pretty standard across RDBMS's.

The problem is that the string story is on two sides of a barrier erected in Rust very much by intention: To make memory allocation explicit, and to enable allocation-free operations as far as possible

This is why Rust will have you juggle String (a string with allocation) and &str (a "string slice"; a view into an allocation elsewhere) all the time.
More realistically, DT is (perceived as) a premium provider and his will automatically expand Dropbox's market and can be kind of a strategic partner (what Dropbox supposedly needs since the competition from big players is heating up). Speculation: Deutsche Telecom's equivalent product was most likely inferior and hasn't caught on well enough, so that's a win for them as well.

The general (perceived) shittyness of all providers in general is just a function of the business model: huge number of customers pay for mostly fixed costs.
I'd say its worse than that. As you reach for each apple in the cart you've chosen, someone with an empty cart runs over and grabs it just before your hand can close around it, takes it back to his own cart and marks it up a few cents.

That doesn't mean that you cannot still write a bot to scrape the content. If it's displayable in a web browser, then it's also parsable from Perl (or whatever language you choose).

Adding delays between page requests and/or distributing the requests would work around a lot of bot detection systems but in worst case scenario, there are projects out there that can solve Captcha's.

Its a bit of a joke. Its a network thing, not a finance thing. What it does is adds a delay and more importantly, a bit more random delay to the time it takes the order to reach the exchanges server. Once you add in the non-determinism, HFT basically falls apart because you can't take your truckload of cash and buy yourself a place in a datacenter that's 2ms closer to the exchange and front-run everyone.

It would be a wonderful thing to see all of those millions these guys have "invested" shaving a millisecond or two off their transaction times laid waste by a single command.
Surely there are enough unicode code points for this not be a problem? Can you use the historical character + combining mark (which shows which 'newer' version of the character to use), where the combining mark is ignored if the computer doesn't understand it, and only then it falls back onto guesswork/lang attributes.

I don't know if that's a decent solution, but just guesswork doesn't sound like a good idea, because there are bound to be edge cases where it wouldn't work, and then we're back where we started...
No technical reasons, but it would be unlikely for Apple or Microsoft to adopt a font made by Google, when their own alternatives exist, despite technical superiority. Android already uses Roboto, which has been heavily invested in for Android 4+ and now with Material design too. Of course, by Linux I'm assuming you mean the popular distributions of it like Ubuntu, but even Ubuntu has its own font which it is unlikely to change - other non-"branded" distros probably would be the only ones who might.
Look at the jtrig section for shaping/honeypots,

... there's no evidence it is related, but when you think about that and social media to promote things ... does that mean imgur and dropbox were planned for honeypots and IPOs? At this point it seems it's best just to assume everything is compromised and backdoored, oof.
If buyers were to time divide their order and time it so the request ended up at each exchange at the exact same millisecond, would this prevent others from reacting to the big trader?

This "solution" will only make it harder for regular folks to execute orders, since HFTs will beat the randomness by shooting multiple orders through multiple order gateways.

Ask HN: Help me cram Java
Hi everyone,

I've got a background mainly in dynamic OO languages (Python, Ruby and JS). I'm starting to read a lot of stuff on OO design, patterns, code quality and so on, but I'm facing the reality that many of the 'classics' (Go4, Martin Fowler's books, GOOS and such) are written with the assumption that everyone's doing Java. I'm looking for resources that will help get my Java reading comprehension up to a level where following code examples doesn't feel like translating Assyrian tomb inscriptions, ideally quickly although I'm aware it's a big language. Any suggestions much appreciated.

what is market-pricing without arbitrage?
Currently in the early stage of such a reorganisation.

About a year ago the development team was on a separate floor and communication breakdowns with business were endemic. Treating marketing like a customer didn't work and worse, they would come up with the ideas and we would implement them.

Relocating to the same floor helped and development was more involved with planning and ideas.

We have now gone a step further and organised along product lines with each team consisting of a mix of devs and business (account and project managers). There is still a marketing team who are primarily involved with PR, advertising and social media and sit alongside the database/analytics team.

Devs still report to the Development Manager while Marketing, Business and Accounts report to their respective managers.

Seems to be working so far.
> IBM will act as a giant sales arm, and apple would fulfill whatever contract IBM can land

It is OK to think that way re hardware. But it is backwards re software. IBM sold off almost all their hardware divisions (laptops, printers, storage) because they make their money on services. IBM is basically a consultancy nowadays. IBM is doing what they do here: selling software consulting services and solutions that run on Apple. Apple isn't going to do any development work for this at all.

If some guy had a business where his sole service was to sit in the apple cart market waiting to front run me and then immediately sell the apples right back to me, I'd be surprised and super pissed.

She (and I, who do know what an API is but don't want to spend time coding and testing merely to draw a sketch map) want to draw that line and immediately use and share the map with the line on it.

You can use {call,cache}grind for that, but sometimes it's a bit unpractical if the software is big.

An approach I sometimes use is to throw a generic profiler at the program, make the program do something that is not fast enough (and that would need to be optimizes), look at the profile to identify the function(s) that are too slow, extract them from the big code base, get a good set of input data and run that with {call,cache}grind.

Then you can use the awesome kcachegrind to look at the data (where you can look at different cache misses, branch misdirect, etc.).

Of course, most of the time, simply running in the profiler show a non-optimal algorithm, or terrible allocation patterns, so you don't have to do all that, but I found this approach useful when writing inner loops for numeric computations (and of course, extracting the code if rather easy for this kind of stuff).

And also, this is osx/linux only, sadly.

This, kartograph.org, looks really useful for the mapmaker who can program. Very, very pretty examples! However, it still requires programming knowledge, Python to create an SVG map, and good HTML/CSS and basic JS to load and display one.
