Fair. I want people to download and not think immediately about price. It's not cheap. I see your point and you might be right. But it's not an entirely uncommon/bad pattern. I had a/b tested it a while back.
I went for a minimalist implementation that leverages the work done in React's Immutability Helpers (http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/update.html). The API allows you to use the same `this.state.xxx` you're used to which I find nice.
I am not an expert on equities law or order flow trading, but I believe that the fiduciary duty extends to the order flow purchaser (or at least the broker maintains the liability).

I know for a fact that order flow purchasers are required to conform to the NBBO prices, so in theory they can't adversely impact the price of the security.

The problem with your broader definition of front running is that it undermines basic market mechanics. If a participant expresses a desire before entering the market that desire needs to be taken into account for accurate pricing. This is true of buying cars, houses, and cheeseburgers. Why shouldn't it be true of equities?
It being Python makes it easier to get the basics done, but for me there's not a lot of value in that fact, other than setting up initial login layouts and screens I'm not a great user of WM scripting, or at least what I do use (setting up workspaces at login and always pushing X app to screen Y, floating all mpv windows) there's not a lot of difficulty or difference in sticking it in a .py file or an xmonad.hs
It's tough! (And I can relate to you on the Irish cultural issues as well, since my mother is from Ireland and I grew up mainly around Irish people).

Mostly, it's a matter of getting them through the psychiatrist's door. Hearing, "I think you might be depressed" or "Why don't you go see someone" -- however you frame it -- is going to be tough to hear from a son. A therapist, though, knows how to ask the right questions, and since they're a neutral third party, they're much more likely to get a person to admit that there's a problem, and that the lost job may have been merely the catalyst for what is now a medical problem.

Depression is less and less stigmatized in the US (I don't know about the situation in Ireland). But in a sense, that doesn't matter. It's the person's own self-stigmatization that is the problem. They don't think they have a medical problem; they think they're worthless, sad, listless, and perhaps "crazy." Going to a psychiatrist will automatically mean that they are crazy.

I am not a mental health professional, but in my view, it's worth trying any trick you can think of to get them through the door. Maybe that means a group/family intervention (and maybe that means she's angry at the entire family for some period of time). Maybe it means cutting deals ("If you just make this one appointment, I'll never mention it again."). Maybe it means an emotional appeal ("Please, please do this for me.").

Whatever the case, extreme measures sometimes are necessary. Because -- and I don't mean to frighten you -- this is a deadly illness. People commit suicide every year because they see absolutely no reason to go on. A heartbreaking number of those people were suffering from a treatable condition.

The use case here is that a user can go from a link in an SMS, email, facebook post, tweet, etc. to app store for install and once installed goes directly to the content shared.
Right now a link could take you to the app store to install but once installed you would not be able to immediately see the content that was shared with you since it's difficult to figure out which user had installed the app and whether that user was the one that got the original link.
I am going to keep an eye on this for when I'm ready to launch my app...

Donald Knuth's collection of road signs – fascile “critters”
So on a hike once with my unit, a bedouin who was irrigating his field with a tractor simply turned it on us and tried to run us down. He failed, miserably I might add, but it proves the point that Arabs will often attack Jews with no advance warning. There are many more example of this.
That's exactly what the latest version does. Async writes. Large local cache. Stream out changes in the background.
I concur with your point, but your example is flawed. Food tasting studies are exempt from the Common Rule by 45 CFR 46.101(b)(6)(i):

(b) Unless otherwise required by department or agency heads, research activities in which the only involvement of human subjects will be in one or more of the following categories are exempt from this policy:
(6) Taste and food quality evaluation and consumer acceptance studies, (i) if wholesome foods without additives are consumed

A better example, and one that's more familiar to the HN audience, would be A/B testing of website front-ends.
Only two ways are needed:

1. Create a constant state of uncertainty. Make promises you don't keep, and never explain why. Announce stuff that never materializes.

2. Don't give people any chance to successfully complete anything they start. (Simplest way: keep moving the goalposts.)

In my experience, people can take any kind of abusive crap, but uncertainty plus the inability to do anything worthwhile will either get people to quit or put them on the shortest route to a burn-out.

And the worst part is, these two ways are often not applied by malicious douche bags, but simply incompetent management. In the start-up world these are often entrepreneurs with no idea of and a total lack of empathy with what it's like to be an employee.
Robinhood definitely does profit from each trade. They are paid by third parties to route the trades through them.

Wha?? How is something that flips up and down by several hundred percent over a given quarter-year going to 'align the exchange amount of currencies with real market value'? What does that even mean?

> My problem is, I'm not sure what MD 917 (b) means.

Probably Annotated Code of Maryland Section 13-1601(b), added by House Bill 917, means exactly what it says. "Notwithstanding any provision in the federal regulations on the protection of human subjects that limits the applicability of the federal regulations to certain research, subsection (a) of this section applies to all research using a human subject." (emphasis added)

> §46.102 (b) has a list of human research which is exempt.

But those exemptions are a provision of the federal regulations which limits the applicability of the federal regulation to certain research, and so are expressly excluded from the part of the regulation incorporated into Maryland law by Section 13-1601(b).

> Otherwise - and this is another tricky part - §46.102 (c) says "Department or agency heads retain final judgment as to whether a particular activity is covered by this policy."

This, again, is a provision of the federal regulations which limits the applicability of the federal regulation to certain research (to those things not excluded by the relevant funding department/agency head), and so are expressly excluded from the part of the regulation incorporated into Maryland law by 917(b). So there's no need to figure out how it applies -- it doesn't.

> However, if that's the case then the other exceptions of §46.102 (b) are also no longer allowed

Note that, if you go through the link you posted and click on the final passed (Third Reading) version of the bill and note the edits from the prior version, that prior version of the bill had express language incorporating the exceptions in 45 CFR § 46.102(b) as exceptions to the Maryland law, and this was stricken in favor of the language now present expressly disregarding any exceptions in the federal regulations. This makes it pretty clear that, whether or not this is desirable, the legislative intent was very expressly not to incorporate the exceptions in 45 CFR § 46.102(b).

It's always been 1984 with Apple. They deride anything that competitors do until they turnaround do it themselves. And then, it's the most awesome thing. And the fans always agree with it. It was true of Intel architecture (from Power PC) then, and it's true of Phablets now.
I've often wished Dropbox's selective sync was managed by folder rather than by client. It would be more helpful to me to mark folders to not automatically sync account wide than to have to choose and re-choose those folders every time I setup Dropbox.

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 the last time version n-1 was updated for a security vulnerability was 6.1.6, and it was updated at the same time as version n.

There's no iOS 7.1.3 that would fix any of the many vulnerabilities fixed in iOS 8: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6441 , and it's likely there won't ever be.

For example, CVE-2014-4377 ("Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution") or any of the WebKit vulnerabilities are a pretty big deal.

The Maryland law at issue, while it incorporates the federal rules generally by reference, also specifically disclaims any of the limitations in the federal regulations in terms of applicability in favor of making the rules applicable to all research involving human subjects without limitation.

> It's unclear what the big missing feature is after lambdas.

I agree. I think Java pretty much is what it is by now. As someone said, "For those who like this kind of thing, this is the kind of thing they like."

Java-the-language is pretty complete. (Even though Haskell people complain about the lack of a decent type system, and Lisp users complain about the verbose syntax, and C++ folks wish they had destructors.) Java-the-platform is in fine shape (the library is Java's unsung best selling point.)

Java-the-enterprise-bloatware-behemoth... well, it really needs to be shot in the head and the body incinerated, but it may actually do the jobs it's given to do about as well as anything that might replace it.
> The law in question specifically states that it defers to the federal law

No, it says it incorporates the rules in the federal regulation, but applies them to all human research, expressly excluding all the other limitations in the federal rules that limit the applicability more narrowly.

I'm really curious about this as well. Last I checked, Safari is sandboxed w.r.t. session data, and something like time/IP seems really difficult to use reliably, e.g. if the user is interrupted and waits a while before installing the app. Or they could instantly install the app and wait a week before remembering to open it.

I'd love to use this service, but is the tracking guaranteed?
I think that the borders with Gaza and the West Bank were very open, people commuted and travelled to buy stuff etc. After the second Intifada, the stops went up to hinder very common attacks on civilians. This stopped a quite integrated economy -- and caused problems on the Israeli side, too.

This was not a one-sided trade. You can be sure the NSA received similar feeds from Israel on targets of great interest to US national interests. The inherent problem in these NSA debates is the inability of the NSA or policy makers to give the American people believable metrics that describe the value received for the effort. Could it be the US received important intel in return for its feeds? Yes. By not articulating a believable ROI on collection or sharing its looks increasingly like there wasn't one.

Reading this kind of "experiences" always make me wonder if there's something wrong with me. As it seems, I am the only person in the world that can't find a mentor willing to invest a tiny bit of his/her time for teaching. And I didn't even ever asked for "peanuts".

It would be amazing to have the chance to learn from and improve my skill with an expert developer, and I'm sure a lot of people will agree with me.

Doing this at large scale would end up creating a "generation" of highly capable developers - and you will know that because you trained them yourself - who will eventually become the mentors and, in turn, teach to the next generation.

The 7200.11 debacle! It was unbelievable that it happened- as far as I remember, Seagate was the leader in reliability before then, I had created five or six RAIDs with Seagate drives with 100% reliability.

But when they released the 7200.11 versions....ALL 7200.11 models would spin down after idle for X minutes and then start clicking...the data was still intact, but for the drive to work again you had to pull the power.

I unfortunately built an eight drive RAID5 with these drives before the issue was know, which made it very difficult for me to diagnose the issue. (All drives seemed perfectly fine when powered and working for the first 5-10 minutes or whenever they were in use, but as soon as a single drive of the RAID idled, the RAID5 acted like a drive was bad).

I still have a box with eight 1TB Seagate 7200.11 drives that I never updated. I have never bought another Seagate drive for RAID since, always WD or Hitachi.
Re: "And as an example, Almaden still feels closer to the lair of a a James Bond enemy in the 60s than a free spirited R&D lab."

It does look that way. You drive in the front gate, and go along a winding road through pastures for about half a mile before reaching the big glass buildings on a hilltop overlooking a huge park. The view from the cafeteria is spectacular. That's what people thought research centers should be like in the 1960s.
