Do you have a link for that? From their FAQ, here's their (admittedly not super clear) answer to "How does Robin Hood Make Money?":

Robinhood will offer margin trading as well as API access, which will allow partnered developers to build applications in conjunction with Robinhood. Robinhood will also receive remuneration for providing trade volume in certain markets. In the future, we plan to offer premium services for active investors.

Robinhood is venture-funded by Google, Andreessen Horowitz and many others, which affords us the freedom to focus on building a wonderful brokerage experience rather than short-term profits.
I cook for a living in NYC/Brooklyn and do catering around the holidays.

1. I cook at home because I love it. I grew up having Sunday dinners with family so the time in the kitchen and at the dinner table means a lot to me. I cook professionally because I enjoy getting beat down into the ground on a regular basis and feeling like a complete idiot. I enjoy the challenge because every event is a new one. Nothing ever goes according to the plan.

2. I only plan ahead when I've invited non-family guests. The rest of the time I decide based on what looks the most fresh/vibrant in the grocery store.

3. Whatever I think will taste good. A lot of Italian/Spanish food.

4. Nope. I truly believe that you should eat healthy, season appropriately, and enjoy every dish as an experience rather than sustenance. If you follow that, you will eat considerably less and be much happier.

5. Yes I have more tips, tricks, and unusual skills than you would probably care to know. From cooking you become very good at unusual skills like pouring liquids.

The restaurant culture has many traditions but we have one in particular that I think sums up the true importance of cooking. Every day we get together as a team and plan/cook a meal for all of the staff to eat before our busiest part of the day begins...

We call it "family meal" and thats exactly what it feels like.
"Your fill rate cannot be worse"

I don't think that is true, conceptually. Lets say that by going to the dark pool and being processed through to the exchange you lose priority on your order. Then your fill rate could be worse.

Not that I think this is a reason to chose to use robinhood or not.
1. For fun, because I like the food and I like it when others like the food, because it lets me try (and learn about) cuisines whose home cooking I wouldn't otherwise get to try. Also because I find it relaxing (sometimes!) and a way to unwind. It requires skill and some creativity and lots of little things to learn and get better at -- but at the same time, a lot of simpler routine steps which you can perform while giving your brain a chance to decompress and your mind to wander a bit.

2. Not systematically. I think a lot of the fun of it is seeing what you can make with the ingredients you have lying around and an art to supplementing the set of ingredients with things which will open up possibilities. Also fun to see what's marked down in the supermarket and figure out something you can do with it. That said I'll usually have one or two meals in mind for a week's shop (although might change my mind mid-shop depending on what's on offer). And it certainly helps to keep certain staples around that you know you can rely on for a lazy dinner if you don't have the energy for something more involved.

3. I like to change it up although certain things I keep coming back to in mild variations. Various indian curries, stews (particularly keen on persian and turkish), pasta or polenta with something homemade (fresh pesto, some kind of ragu, simple tomato sauce, putanesca, garlic prawns...), a classic english roast on a weekend, chinese stir-fries, attempts at thai and vietnamese, chilli, pulled pork, something vaguely spanish with chorizo and beans, or vaguely north african, salad, fish, stuffed veggies...

4. Not really. An occasional short-lived attempt to cut down on carbs and meat.

5. Don't rely too much on recipes, use them to bootstrap your intuitions about ingredients, the principles behind different cuisines and formats of dish. Try things, fail. Even if you fail most of the time it'll still be edible and perhaps even tasty. Taste things (obvious but bears saying). Learn about individual ingredients and how to use them, herbs spices and seasonings in particular. Seek out new exciting ones. Visit ethnic shops. Make use of the freezer: leftovers, stock, sauces, bargains which you snap up close to expiry. Know what freezes well and what doesn't. Get a rice cooker, they're great. Don't bother with a slow cooker, they create mush and dry meat. Stews are a great way to practise -- hard to screw up too badly, one pot, chance to try out various seasonings and cuisines and get a feel for what works together.

XenServer Creedence Final Beta Available
Depending on what forums you follow, yeah, this is the sentiment. GNOME has a reputation (deserved or not is up for debate) for the same kind of "we'll do it our way and go fork it if you don't like it" attitude that people (including Linus) take systemd to task for.

Example: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695371
I believe that implies 1 in 8 people are.

Pc = Probability that someone is colorblind
(1 - Pc) = Probability they aren't colorblind
(1 - Pc)^5 = Probability that no one in group of 5 is colorblind
1 - (1 - Pc)^5 = Probability that someone in group of 5 is colorblind

Solve .5 = 1 - (1 - Pc^5): http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.5+%3D+1+-+%281+-+p%29%...

You get .129449, which is approximately 1 in 8
I will let others dissect the different probabilities for at least 1 and for only 1 and say, yes! Nearly one in ten: http://www.colour-blindness.com/general/prevalence/

It usually doesn't come up in conversation. Even when I was working on an image processing toolkit, it was several months before I realized my boss was red-green colorblind.

The violence isn't a symptom of their treatment. IS, Al-Qaeda, and Hizballah aren't "sequestered into ghettos" and they happily indulge in the same violence as Hamas. Maybe you should visit Israel and have a Falafel?
If Netflix has it in physical form, it's presumably available for purchase. (Well, they may have disks that used to be available but aren't currently but in that case it's just a matter of time before they're damaged.)

If Netflix is, in fact, cash starving its physical DVD business, that's unfortunate because there are no other AFAIK comparable physical DVD rental alternatives. But the purchase options still exist.
> Essentially, Netflix cannot afford to buy the rights to all the movies you want to watch.

This isn't a Netflix problem, it's a licensing problem. If the rights-holders aren't willing to sell the rights to their films at a price that the market will pay, then those people who want to see those films will find a way, legal or not, to obtain them through other channels.

I will happily pay to stream a movie online, whether as part of a subscription service or directly to the producers. However, when the producers don't provide any means to do so, I've never had a hard time finding a DVD-quality copy that I can download and watch in my home theater in less than the time it would take to drive to Blockbuster and rent it.

Well, Fb gave a presentation that said interaction with their web utils (so storage if you want to call it that) actually happens in the action itself, with pending, success and failure "actions" (events really) being dispatches to the stores. Not sure what that means for your facade, but it's confusing the hell out of me. What is the store supposed to do? Just hold onto the state, period?
I suspect my edit was too late for you to read. I added a link to http://www.oag.state.md.us/Healthpol/hb917letter.pdf , where the attorney general describes exemptions:

> Therefore, under the applicable federal regulations, a person may conduct research in an exempt category without, for example, obtaining review by an institutional review board. A Maryland researcher likewise may do so under House Bill 917, because such a person is conducting the research “in accordance with the federal regulations on the protection of human subjects” and, consequently, does not violate the prohibition in § 13-1602(a) of the Health-General Article.

This is dated May 2, which is after the bill passed both houses and before it was signed by the governor.

This seems like the exemptions in §46.102 (b) are all allowed under MD law.

Given that return rates for these drives can go up to 2.5% even under normal usage conditions (though granted, that was OCZ), it's really quite meaningless to do this kind of test without having a whole batch of drives for each type.

Although wikipedia shows 7% of males, meaning a group of 5 would have a 30% chance of one of them being colorblind.
Hmm, so what is it about Xmonad that you like exactly? Reading the FAQ I see this:

> When xmonad starts, workspace 1 is on screen 1, workspace 2 is on screen 2, etc. When switching workspaces to one that is already visible, the current and visible workspaces are swapped.

I actually like how Awesome does things but I can see how it might be nice to have one set of screens. Though I feel like you could probably script the keybindings to achieve more or less that functionality yourself, it's really easy to mess around with that kind of thing in Lua. Personally I feel like usually since my monitors are of vastly different size (laptop vs external monitor) I actually prefer to have specific layouts on specific monitors.

It'd be nice to get some endurance testing on the sandisk internal solid state drives (eg. http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-SDSA5JK-064G-Module-Laptop-Net...)

I've had one fail three days ago on a laptop that was barely a year old. I'm not even sure what actually failed - debugging a broken ssd is a pain, and when I mount it it just freezes for ages, making the matter worse.

Sandisk being the only real seller of those things there isn't exactly a lot of competition but I'd like to actually see how they hold up vs. regular SSDs. There is a bit of a false expectation when you buy a laptop with a ssd, expecting the endurance of a regular ssd and getting something potentially awfully bad.
Are you serious? Going from tiling window managers to Windows 8, I was like... this could be the start of something great for Windows, but it's still way too basic for me. All Windows 8 seems to have is a split view with adjustable split widths but that's super easy in any sane tiling WM.

Or are you talking about Windows 8 apps being "responsive" in some sense?
I'm not a KDE user, but from reading on the internetz I have this feeling that KDE in general is evaded by users, users don't see it as much of a option or as the last option, this commit also doesn't mention KDE.

Why do you cook? Is it to save cash or is it recreation?

Neither- I cook for control & quality. My family has dietary issues that mean eating out generally has consequences. I have found that not only can I help protect them from bad ingredients, but I also end up making better meals for them because I am dedicated to meals that are compatible with their food restrictions.

I do not plan ahead.

Chicken, Fish, Steak, Pork in that order. I tend to grill vegetables and try to tumble through something different every day. Also leafy green salads, typically w/o dressing.

I don't follow any diets.

Well... I'm not sure "aren't willing to sell rights at a price netflix can afford with their business model" is the same as "aren't willing to sell the rights at a price that the market will pay."

Perhaps they think there is or will be a market selling pay-per-view, at which they can make more money, than selling to all-you-can-watch subscription services.

I have no idea if they're right or wrong (today or tomorrow), although certainly I know my preference as a consumer is to be able to watch anything I want for $8 a month or whatever. But my preference as a consumer is hardly the definition of "what the market will pay." I'd like restaurants to give me their food cheaper and always all-you-can-eat too, but I still pay for restaurant meals anyway. (Of course, there isn't exactly a pirating option for restaurant meals.)

I'm not sure the 'benefits of the long tail' are working out as predicted in the market, it is true.
How to Finally Make Peace with Your To-Do List
1. money is a factor, sure, but I like my cooking better than most things I can get out if I have time.
2. no, not really. I buy things I like and think I should eat.
3. meat, fish, vegetables mostly
4. somewhat low carb, more vegetables than grain anyway.
5. a good chest freezer and making more than you want so it's easy to reheat later!
Most retail investors will be taking liquidity, not providing it. However, the market makers buying order flow are indeed gaining an advantage over the others.

There are numerous examples in history (and today!) of governments wiping out their citizens' savings through hyperinflation, restricting their access to foreign currencies, etc. This is not just an ideological libertarian conspiracy theory.

Blown Backward in the Future: 25 Years After the Bowen Report on Acadmeia
Hello,

we do appreciate your time no doubt, and it is great to have a challenging view.

We condicted alot of research in the UK about how people use products and what they do in terms of behaviour in the gym and outdoor sports, what we found is yes not everyone uses the entire functionality, but they use atleast 2 or 3 of the Intelishake's uses in varied ways, this product then makes it great for these enthusiasts.

The competition at $7 is doing well because of the price, there is no doubt about it, but our product with all its functions at say $10 will no doubt be a preferred pick since it can have the same use as the $7 one or much more.
If you want just a plain bottle, then sure go ahead and save the money, but for something more useful and relevant, we know that people would buy the intelishake.

Watches and other accessories are just examples, people will use it in different ways as per their needs.

We found that many people do have their phone with them whilst in the Gym or playing football in the field, and hence storing it this ay makes it easy for them to keep an eye on their stuff all in one place, in the bottle they need regularly to drink from.

Yes 32oz is quite alot and you would have to use both compartments for that much liquid, we had to stick to 500ml because otherwise the bottles become too large and we dont want to put people off.

I think the key with this product is that it has many selling points and fits various needs, some people will have use for it, others will not like with everything, we would want to convince everyone to take one because of its great price, that would be the key convincing reason fro any doubters, those that love it will by without hesitation.

Thank you for your time runjake, it has been helpful.

Yes it's not unique in principle, but programmers find themselves having to do UI design (or at least contribute to it) way more often than lawyers, nuclear physicists or beekeepers ;) That's why this issue keeps returning.

There's also the (absolutely false) notion that designing interfaces somehow is a subset of a programming skillset, so if one is a proficient coder, they're by definition capable of delivering sensible UI solutions, pretty much like an academic could teach in their field in high school since they already know more than enough
So, if I'm understanding this right, finger trees are just 2-3 trees with an extra array of 8 things per level (four for prefix, four for suffix). Does this really have a benefit over just using a 2-3 tree?

Musical acts in Canada couldn't succeed without the government?

That's absurd. And it implies extreme mediocrity of Canadian culture, which is also absurd.

As though the 35 million people in Canada aren't going to support local musical talent, from Vancouver to Toronto. They're not primarily going to drive eight hours to NYC and support local American talent or three hours to Seattle instead of going to local festivals or concerts.

The government can only harm the situation by subsidizing terrible products that have almost no demand, to the detriment - no matter how slight - of better products that would thrive without subsidy.
Or more likely it isn't or Netflix wouldn't be backing away from it even though they already have the infrastructure. I suspect that there's a real squeeze between the current hits (which Red Box covers pretty well and others purchase off Amazon/Walmart/etc.) and the default behavior of watching whatever is on streaming that just doesn't leave a lot of business on the table for the balance.

Oh, you mean because of the added latency on the dark pool check? As I understand the mechanics of these, it's as follows:

1) Place an order.
2) Broker checks the darkpool - if a match is found, trade internally.
3) Route to the public market.

Step 2 can add latency, reducing your fill rate. So can playing music on youtube while doing step 1 probably adds more latency. And the latency in both cases is vastly lower than the latency you get from trading over 3g (robinhood is a mobile app, which to me seems moronic).

> Perhaps they think there is or will be a market selling pay-per-view, at which they can make more money, than selling to all-you-can-watch subscription services.

I think what he/she meant was that PPV (for example) doesn't address the whole market whereas access to Netflix is pretty ubiquitous and does address the whole market. It also creates a nearly efficient market in that the consumer gets to decide how much they are willing to pay for content - not the distributor (which is the current case of Time Warner, Comcast, etc).
> I normally find it annoying when they run endurance tests like this using only one drive of each brand and treat the results as particularly meaningful.

The main takeaway for me from this is less around the reliability of individual drives, but that SSDs as a whole have moved into a space where I don't really need to worry about them being signifiantly less reliable than hard drives.
