Technical analysis doesn't have any science backing it up. However, as most pop books are some form of swing, candlestick, Bollinger bands, mean reversion, it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

If you're going to play the markets, it's quantitative analysis or go broke. And that is a literal go broke!
Eastern Europe might be better - I'm mainly familiar with Britain, Spain, France and Italy. Can anyone with firsthand knowledge offer any info?

I'm not proposing one emulate the Infosys model, which I think is what you are criticizing. I'm proposing going to India and hiring developers the same way you would if you were in the US. There is no shortage of excellent developers here - I've had great success in hiring myself.
The problem is that the development seems to go too slowly to be something more than a curiosity. It looks outdated and cannot replace Windows in a worplace for the moment and it seems like it will be like that forever. I really want this to succeed but I do not think it will.
I didn't find his comments especially entertaining, and I don't think my sense of humour is faulty, so let's rule out the court jester theory.

That leaves "using the best arguments for the case he truly believes in, however weak". This I think would correctly fall under the umbrella of incompetence. At some point, rational people are supposed to evaluate their own arguments and change their beliefs if they can't sustain them anymore.

In this case he has strongly implied that "tech people" with a libertarian bent are naive and their beliefs crumble the moment they're faced with the real world. Insulting the people you need help from isn't a good start. But regardless, I don't know of any tech companies that have real problems complying with a robust, trustworthy process that includes many checks and balances to ensure only people widely agreed to be criminals get investigated. The whole problem has started because that system has broken down over time and post-Snowden been revealed as nothing more than a political sleight of hand.
No idea how much you're trolling, but the single file:

In order to get one virtual slice of device per container I just need the device's driver to support that or I need to have a layer on top of the driver that partitions the device. As the different cgroups have the same kernel and thus the same set of drivers I see no advantage in splitting physical devices. What am I missing?

Yeah, I guess something like unions could work for that. Oh wait, apparently those are bad, too. Well I guess "just earn enough money" is the best fallback.
ICAO airport codes in Switzerland:

L = Southern Europe

S = Switzerland

Z = Flight Information Region (FIR) Zürich with telex (back then)
G = Flight Information Region (FIR) Geneva with telex (back then)
P = Flight Information Region (FIR) Zürich without telex (back then)
T = Flight Information Region (FIR) Geneva without telex (back then)
M = Military
X = Heliport

Some examples:

LSZH = Zürich International Airport
LSZX = Schänis Private Airfield (but with telex back then!)

LSGG = Geneva International Airport
LSGK = Saanen Private Airport

LSME = Emmen Military Airfield
LSMM = Meiringen Military Airfield

LSPV = Wangen-Lachen Private Airfield
LSPN = Triengen Private Airfield

LSTR = Montricher Private Airfield

LSXS = Schindellegi Private Heliport

An interesting case is Bâle-Mulhouse, a binational French-Swiss airport located in France:

It's primary ICAO code is LFSB (F = France), however, for AFTN, there's also LSZM.

Half of the time I found playing with cool HFT tech fun just for the tech part of it and no thoughts about meaning at all.

Stat arb is not what is commonly known as technical analysis. They are distinct.

No. Technical analysis is forecasting prices based on past data. Stat arb is a particular form of technical analysis, based mainly on looking for mean reversion in sets of securities.

Strictly speaking, statarb \subset technical analysis.
Extract is pretty brand new, so not so many people yet, but I've played with some previous incarnations (it was previously beta'd as a standalone web service).

That said, it's damned handy if you're turning a PSD comp into HTML/CSS. That's the use case it was made for - smoothing the workflow between the PSD-making designer and the HTML-writing coder. If a PSD comp has, say, a button with a gradient and a drop shadow, then Extract gives you CSS to reproduce that design, without your needing to open Photoshop and copy/paste the gradient colors and so forth. Even does a pretty good job of including prefixed CSS when needed.

My experience was, for reasonably well-formed comps it's a godsend. For pathological PSDs it's less useful, but you're still better off with it than without it. But it all depends how often you have to HTMLify PSDs.

You make it sound like achieving what weave does would be straightforward with the existing in-kernel encapsulation mechanisms. That's not the case. Even if putting some parts in the kernel would make sense in the long term, getting it right in userspace first is not a ridiculous idea.
Jawbone has always been more of a hardware company to me. The issue with the software is that it's not up to par with competitor's software. FitBit, Withings, Garmin all have amazing web dashboards along with a mobile app. Jawbone? Mobile app only...

I don't foresee them improving their software in this sense since they've mostly bought companies thus far to fix their software. The food tracker software is a lot better than when it first started. People have been asking Jawbone to make a web interface for years now, and to date it's still not available.

Basically they are focused on product, design and big data. That's where the money is at anyways.

"A social structure outside of the free-market" describes, by some estimates, over 75% of all human interactions.

Non-market interactions are invisible to conventional economics because they're not priced, but they're by no means insignificant. They range from developing-world peasants farming land to which they simply have no title deeds, through to the form of communist praxis which is the dominant social structure of the supposedly free-market west -- the nuclear family. (Or do you present your kids with a bill for their personal care and feeding? Non-dysfunctional families run along lines Marx described as, "to each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities": sharing without reference to individual wealth is explicit in state-recognized marriage vows. That the power/money relationship often reverses a generation later, as adult children support or nurse their aged parents through their last year, just underlines the pattern.)

Graeber, as an anthropologist, is interested in all human interactions, not just marketized ones. And his particular field has been the intersection of the market sector with the non-marketized greater cloud of human relationships.
The marketing was probably put out in response to the Microsoft Band. I've been looking to replace my Jawbone band for quite a bit of time now, but I was waiting to see what Jawbone would release. If they didn't release any news, I would have definitely jumped on to the Microsoft Band.

Not announcing a date also works to their benefit since news outlets will put out another PSA when they announce the date.
I'd like to know why this was downvoted, and if people who down voted it can explain what the code is doing please?
You didn't, mostly.

In DOS times you only had one core, so there was no particular necessity for multithreading. Network card drivers were available using the NDIS standard: http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Networking_FreeDOS_-_N...

DOS games tended to roll their own protocol on top of the raw packet drivers. This is why they were often LAN-only. Generally in the DOS era you didn't have Internet; it existed, but wasn't widely deployed.

DJGPP got some use (see the PCGPE as well), but professional game development tended to use Watcom: http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Project_History

>Growing up 'smart' made me stupid.

I agree and also have faced this problem as I was in the gifted programs all through school, then into university. However, in my third year of University I failed the entire year, owing mostly to the assurance in my ability to just wing it.

This had profound effects on my psyche and over the last two years, I have been trying to reprogram and discover strategies to not fall into this trap. In areas of life where many struggle, I am sharp, but in other areas I really struggle and learning to appreciate the talents of others in this area has been an eye-opener.

One of the major things for me was writing; I just don't find it easy. Possibly the largest change for me was actually facing up to that fact and starting to read and write again, which I hadn't done since high-school.

Now I am enrolled in a MSc program and actively engaged in learning and struggling in the areas I am weak; I believe this change is starting to pay off. The hardest thing was to accept that I wasn't good at everything, and to start working hard like everyone else.

What is the future of the Internet of things? (over the next 10 years)
My hunches suggest something like this -

Let suppose you are living in 2020 where all of your consumer electronics device are connected with each other. Your smartphones and home appliances like fridge, TV, AC etc .

Suppose its Sunday and you are doing you’re weekly shopping at your favorite shopping mall. Your refrigerator received your GPS location through your Smartphone and you received a notification of this kind on your Smartphone screen -

20% milk remaining in the bottle
Butter about to finish
Fish will expire tomorrow

Awesome, isn’t it? Now you know that you have to purchase these items from store .

The above written lines are not a plain pridiction. They are based on the patent filings by various companies. LG has started working on such an application for its refrigerator that will be notifying you about the amount of food left in your fridge and also it will be suggesting recipe according to the items (vegetables,fruits etc) stored in your refrigerator.

All of the electronic equipment in your house will be connected with each other and will be communicating all necessary information. For example, your alarm clock will be shutting down your AC as soon as you will be leaving your bed in morning and will be saving electricity.

Even you car will be connected with your smartphones and other devices. You just have to send your GPS location information to your car via your smartphone and it will navigate to pick your from whereever you are present. The driverless car of Google will be doing this in future.

What do you think? Lets discuss
The two situations aren't analogous - in both my cell phone example and your meth lab example the police need warrants, but they don't need the owner's permission to bust open the door to a meth lab, and they can't bust open the login screen on an encrypted iPhone without the owner voluntarily decrypting it.

I linked to some case law examples in a previous comment[1], but basically the cops can't force you to decrypt an encrypted device because of your 5th Amendment rights, except in the rare case where you've already admitted that incriminating evidence is stored on that device (thus waiving your right to not self-incriminate).

In your white collar example, they're not demanding the suspect turn over the documents, they're demanding the employer turn over the documents, which would imply that a third party already had access to the unencrypted documents and was willing to cooperate with the police.

In opinions we trust? What kind of a trader are you?

That sentence is basically void of content.

No. You could give me an example of homeopathic medicines used shortly before someone goes into remission.

That doesn't mean that cures cancer.

The claim "technical analysis doesn't work" is the weak form EMH.

So yes, you are being inconsistent, unless I've mistakenly interpreted "technical analysis is bullshit" as "technical analysis doesn't work". Is it your belief that technical analysis does work, but is still bullshit?
Somehow the irony seems to have escaped you that you've based your opinion on a entire field of study on an anecdote about overhearing one conversation while you're deriding them for not being "scientific" enough.
> forecasting prices based on past data

By your definition everything is technical analysis.

Which makes your definition useless.
Jesus, I have more ideas that I can count, totally overflow my brain. Of course the first version is dazed and confused but over time some of those (those on whom I spend most time on) seem to come out somewhat polished...

IT is only a hobby to me, but all in all, until now I'm a sucker when it comes to implementations. Most of my projects are abandoned the moment I realize that I solved the hard part and now I have to do boring part (e.g. the hard part is the back-end and boring part is the front-end which never gets finished/polished/presenable-to-thir-parties).

The best way to come up with an idea, is to try to automate something in your daily life. Not something that bothers or something that someone else will find attractive. Doesn't even have to make sense to others, up to the point where it is ready.

Anyway good luck :-)

ps. To give an idea, I had thought of 4Square-like idea long before 4Sq. And at least 5-other things that turn-out to be startups and then big corps. But keep in mind that ideas are cheap, implementation costs.
Isn't it also the responsibility of the individual to gain skills that are valuable? I don't think what you describe is true for Software Developers in Sillicon Valley, for example. How much vacation do Software Developers in the Valley usually get?
That's not a third possibility, but rather saying it might be the first ( = he honestly believes this) or the second ( = he doesn't, but either pretends he does for personal gain or is just stringing words together because hey, it's not like it matters).
Sorry, I read your statement too quickly. Missed the "weak". I thought you meant EMH holds (as I stated above).

HIPAA Affects Hospital and University Alike; Results in $4.8M Settlement
> Relatively recently, they have run a IndieGoGo campaign and have made this[2], but to be honest (and I admit I haven't looked very deep), as a first impression, it seems it is more the result of web development, design and social media work, than work on the hard part, i.e. the operating system itself. It'd be nice if someone could clarify whether that's really the case.

I think they made that just to convince people to give them money which is so desperately needed for development. Probably because they previously made a Kickstarter which failed to meet its goals.

What ReactOS needs is some large business to sponsor its development.
Indeed.

If he describes the two grays thing in more detail, someone could implement it in MESS at least.

Difference between Cavitation and Mesotherapy
To achieve your desired results in slimming, there are many type of treatments for Slimming. Some treatments are Surgical and some are Non-Surgical. In Mesotherapy a non standardized Chemical is injected in your body to dissolve fat. There are many patients who claim that they feel no difference through mesotherapy where as the clients opting for cavitation and have achieved good positive results. Mesotherapy is still highly controversial. There are many patients who have undergone months of treatment through Mesotherapy with no results at all, and then in the end going for liposuction. It has been noticed that liposuction is used for larger areas where as mesotherapy is used for small areas. Mesotherapy is not FDA Approved and is not standardized. Mesotherapy is dangerous and complicated, it is very important to have in a safe Doctor’s hand but it can be uncontrollable. A doctor which would opt you mes0therapy will not think for your health but will to it for the money.
Oxford's robots and the funding of innovation
The Silicon Valley is not indicative of jobs in the US. What some developer there gets has little/no bearing on what happens elsewhere.

You also did not argue the core assertion that the employer-employee contract is heavily skewed to the employer. That has been true for the last 30 years. Productivity has made great inroads, yet pay and benefits have dropped significantly.

So yes, this is a government issue. The employers have a sweet deal and the plebes have no power. But alas, Republicans in the Senate will make sure that much needed reforms won't happen.
This can be more clearly understood by reading more articles at our official blog http://www.danyemachines.com/blog/
Exactly. Some people work better when they're 'up against it' under a crushing deadline, or just don't take as long as the average person.

Personally, I am able to achieve a lot more when I am under the gun, and often find myself procrastinating until the last minute and then pull a rabbit out of a hat. This is not a new phenomenon, nor is it misunderstood. Some people work like marathon runners, some people work like cheetahs. The cheetah cannot be expected to be at full capacity 100% of the time.

If two people both produce the same output, but one of them needs 40 hours and the other can do the same work in 2, who is the 'inefficient' person here? Let's evaluate the product, not the workflow.
