No it doesn't. Everyone I know with HFT industry experience that has read it (including myself) has panned it. It is possibly the worst thing you can read if you are interested in how HFT works. "Dark Pools" has it's own faults but for narrative non-fiction it is the only game in town.
I don't see how making sure are made properly should forbid that 100 people are going to go to wikipedia and try to update the team for a popular player.

The Problem with Wikipedia is that Wikipedia does not want to reflect truth, or reality or facts or objectivity however one might call it, but verifiability.

That is why they revert to false statements, even if they know so.

10 AES Cipher Keys Suitable for Eﬃcient Side-Channel
11 Vulnerability Evaluation
12 Takaaki Mizuki, Yu-ichi Hayashi Tohoku University

13 Abstract
14 This paper investigates pairs of AES-128 cipher keys and
15 plaintexts which result in being “quiet” in the ﬁnal round,
16 i.e., whose 128-bit State holds the same bit pattern
17 before and after Round 10.
18 HOLDS THE SAME BIT PATTERN BEFORE AND AFTER ROUND 10.

19 ...Because such quiet and noisy plaintexts make extreme actions
20 in the ﬁnal round of the AES encryption, these AES-128 cipher keys
21 are quite useful for AES hardware designers to eﬃciently
22 evaluate the vulnerabilities of their products,
23 for instance, the performance of their side-channel attack
24 countermeasures.
25 Table 8: The Estimated SNR at various distances from the FPGA.

26 9 Conclusion
27 recent research has been adopting the idea that suitable plaintexts,
28 say those with rather small (but non-zero) Hamming distances
29 in the ﬁnal round, are chosen for eﬃcient side-channel attack evaluation.
30 there has not been any study that uses quiet plaintexts
31 (i.e., those with exactly-zero-Hamming distance) yet.

32 New Related-Key Boomerang Attacks on AES
33 Michael Gorski and Stefan Lucks, Bauhaus-University Weimar, Germany

34 Abstract. In this paper we present two new attacks on round reduced
35 versions of the AES. We present the first application of the related-key
36 boomerang attack on 7 and 9 rounds of AES-192. The 7-round attack
37 requires only 218 chosen plaintexts and ciphertexts and needs
38 267.5 encryptions. We extend our attack to nine rounds of AES-192.
39 This leaves to a data complexity of 267 chosen plaintexts and ciphertexts
40 using about 2143.33 encryptions to break 9 rounds of AES-192.

41 Conclusion
42 The AES remains still unbroken but we have shown that up to
43 7 rounds practical attacks are available yet.
44 7 ROUNDS PRACTICAL ATTACKS ARE AVAILABLE
Could be. I never used IE during that period though and I saw that button more than any other content on google properties.
The problem with this logic is that you won't know about your performance problem until a system is scaled up to production level tasks - except if you build a comprehensive performance model beforehand, which takes about as long as the implementation (and is thus nonsensical for most tasks) and is really hard to do IMO in an FP language.

So what will probably happen is that once you see your performance problems, you can pray that it's only some hot spots that you can then replace with faster code - often it's not, so you have 100 places using around 1% of your time budget for example, which is when you can go and start over.

The keys are stored on SafeNet HSMs, you'd have to trust that they don't do anything with them but they can't exactly export them.

This is my interpretation: Microsoft's biggest threat right now is that to be a viable mobile developer at the moment you pretty much need to buy a Mac and embrace OSX. Once you have done that you are obviously not running Visual Studio any more but will be using XCode and cross platform tools like Eclipse. Then you are further extremely unlikely to write things in C#. So this is about saying to the existing C# developers, "don't leave, don't buy a Mac, we are going to support you to write everything you need (Android, iOS etc.) without leaving the comfort of Visual Studio".
We use stackdriver very heavily - but also take a look at SignalFuse.

Well I think the crypto nerds would like to design crypto systems that are inherently (i.e. mathematically) resistant to such attacks.

But in general, I think you are right. I am astounded at how few networked applications perform rate limiting. Wordpress, for example, does not ship with any rate limiting on the login form. Brute force? Go ahead, give it a shot.

By comparison, Drupal 7 out of the box limits any IP to a small number of quick login attempts before blocking that IP temporarily.

If your application is intended for human interaction, it just makes sense to limit things to human speed. Maybe it's harder than I think it is, or maybe people just don't think of it.
I may get laughed out of the park for the following anecdote, but playing MMO markets for the last few decades has convinced me this is true. Take any given item to be a stock; and looking at the market trends as "Reading the charts" and you quickly realize that your mental heuristics that may be provably very successful are MUCH more difficult to put into algorithm. I came to this realization recently when I tried to put code to the logic that had earned me 10s of thousands in Guild Wars 2 and found it a far stretch from enumerating the same list of "trades to make" that I would come up with manually, even when I felt I enumerated all of my heuristics.

Long story short, the brain is a ridiculous tool; I can't wait until we understand it better.
Turning the other cheek is an OK strategy when the damages are not terribly high and the political and economic costs of any reaction would be worse than that of the attacks. In fact, improving defensive security and not responding to cyber-warfare except in cases that imminently endanger human lives or defense capabilities would probably be the sounder policy. That said, that's far from what the U.S. government is doing, the U.S. government engages in espionage and arguable cyber-warfare against nations it's not in conflict with (including China) with alarming regularity. The Snowden leaks give us an idea of how a fraction of those operations looked more than 6 years ago...

If it were me, I'd just issue a formal letter thanking the Chinese government and their people for spending their own taxpayer's money pen-testing U.S. infrastructure and ensuring security best practices are followed ;p (yes, I am being tongue-in-cheek, speaking of cheeks...)
Still mole-free though!
Securely doesn't equate to what a HSM provides. I'd be doubtful if they are (using them) right now...

If IAM gets compromised, an attacker can take the key and run, opposed to them only being able to use it while they have access to the HSM. Not saying it's likely to happen.
Useful things are wonderful, even if they're obvious and not new or even innovative. The problem is considering things like Snapchat, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter innovative when they're absolutely not. They're fundamentally simple communication channels that almost anyone could create, thanks largely to Internet pioneers and open source developers. Their users and public image make them valuable.

I'm very happy we have these things, and I'm happy they're well-designed and secure. But they're not really innovative.
Well, if the other option is a lifetime of free software...

Ask HN: Cross-platform mobile app development
With the announcement of the Visual Studio Community Edition and Android Emulator, I think many of us who currently build iOS and Android versions of their apps in completely separate code-bases (Objective-C & Java) would be interested in learning from the experiences of those of you who have tried to write cross-platform native apps for iOS & Android or share most of the application logic between the two versions using Xamarian or good-old C++ (or anything else).

- How was your experience? What about debugging, maintenance, performance, etc?

- Is your app somewhat complicated (for example, it uses custom UI controls, animations, etc)?

- And finally, if you have to build a complicated and actively developed app on both iOS and Android now, what platform would you use (assuming your level of familiarity with all of them is equal)?

I've read time and time again that non-native cross-platform solutions like PhoneGap etc still don't give a smooth enough experience to compete with native counterparts. So, I'm still not taking them seriously.
Tbh, this is what scares me about tech illiterate juries. Many of these cases hang on key pieces of evidence that are literally the FBI's word against the defendants.
For a long time I have held off on embracing .NET even though it offers certain advantages over the JVM ecosystem because it was clearly a Windows-first, everything else second ecosystem. If this changes that then I might for the first time in a long time take a second look at it.
> Thank you! I'm working on a team that inherited some Scala code from contractors that no longer work for us and we've found that (at least their) Scala is almost as hard to read as bad Perl.

I've seen C# that is almost as hard to read as bad Perl -- also, not surprisingly, from contractors who weren't going to be maintaining the code.

I don't think this says anything about C# or Scala, I think what it says is something about the natural result of the economic incentives of people being paid to throw code over the wall before they leave for greener pastures.

17.18% of all desktop OS-es connected to the internet are Windows XP, the version for which Microsoft doesn't publish updates. Most of these computers are in China. Also "in 2009, approximately 80% of software sold in China was pirated."

The average weekly income of a Chinese worker is around 100 USD. He is not going to buy new software even if it costs the same as in the US. It typically costs even more.

Don't be surprised bots have easier targets there.
Part of the problem is we know what is significant today, when we look back. 1904 to 1914? Heavier-than-air flight, cheap automobiles, rural electrification. 1914-1924? Radio, airlines, diesel railroad engines, moving pictures. 1924-1934? Television, talkies, commercial radio. 1934-1944? Nuclear power, commercial TV, colour films, antibiotics. 1944-1954? Jet aircraft, nuclear weapons, commercial nuclear power. 1954-1964? Space travel, colour TV, bipolar junction transistors, vaccination programmes. 1964-1974? Lunar landing, commercial supersonic flight, microchips. 1974-1984? Microcomputers, modern medical imaging, minimally invasive surgery. 1984-1994? Internet, e-mail. 1994-2004? Commercial Internet. 2004-2014? Who knows? Ask me again in ten years.

In 2004, in the wake of the .com crash, the future of the commercial Internet was not clear. Furthermore, the argument for slowing down of innovation is not entirely implausible. The big, foundational innovations like bipolar junction transistors, microchips, microcomputers and the Internet do seem to trail off in recent decades. For all the medical advances we have achieved nothing can touch anti-biotics and vaccines in terms of impact. They aren't even close to the same category.

The transistor is an interesting case for people who claim there is nothing new under the sun: transistor ideas had been around since the '20's, but it wasn't 'til the late '40's that they were "invented" and it was the early '50's that Shockley's innovation made it possible for them to go mainstream. Shockley didn't "invent" "the transistor", but he did invent something that was such a great improvement on existing technology that when we use the word "transistor" we are generally referring to his invention, even though that is not the most general use of the word.

It is perfectly likely that there was at least one world-changing invention in 2004-2014, but it'll be another decade before we can say with any certainty what it is.

This is discussed all the time - there's a running joke about how the 200 day moving average only works because everyone believes it does.

That said, there are so many different TA techniques / indicators / gurus that, for all but the most well known TA indicators (there are easily hundreds!), there simply aren't enough people trading on the signals at the same time for the same securities with enough volume for there to be a proper feedback loop.

If there was a repeatable, predictable feedback cycle, it follows that we'd all be charting it and trading off it (or backtesting with quant analysis to confirm the existence of the cycle, or having long conversations about nothing and convincing ourselves it was fundamental analysis, or whatever your preferred method of analysis is.)

The Spotify example is pathetic - their catalog sucks and their social features are terrible. Dragging music licensing onto the Internet is not innovation - it's just helping prop up the idiotic regime (read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_licensing#.22Happy_Birthd... and talk to someone who has worked in a music rights clearinghouse).

You can say "what about Soundcloud!" for the things you can't get on Spotify. mp3.com was around doing the exact same thing in 1998. Between mp3.com and Napster, Internet music was actually a better experience in 1999. VKontakte is the only thing better that's out there right now in terms of catalog, social discovery, and streaming.
Now the community IDE will be free as long as your team is <5. So the "risk" here is a startup surviving 3 years and being more than 5 employees? At that point I'd say the cost of buying some IDE:s is pretty small. If going with this platform makes the team just a few percent more productive then it's probably worth it.

The "stack" doesn't cost anything extra as long as you don't do something silly like host on your own windows server machines, or use sql server.

Can you expect anything more, really, in the end? It's why we have to always be vigilant against any company taking a stranglehold on any technology. My biggest question in nearly any technology choice these days is "to what extent does this lock me in?". Because the only thing that really keeps these companies working in your favor is the threat that you can, and will, leave if they don't.

I'd prefer a better educated populace that realizes the "technical evidence" being submitted in many cases is essentially witness testimony and not physical evidence [e.g. fingerprints on the murder weapon] which I think many people believe.

Witness testimony is perfectly fine as long as it isn't implied to be anything greater than that.
I currently use scalr to manage a bunch of servers at the top-level (with Ansible scripts doing config and deployment), but would love for it to be configured via a bunch of config files that are revision controlled in git rather than through a UI like scalr provides.

I had to think about your question for a while. However, I think the issue is the premise: you imply "has it better" = "how you feel". Whereas Dr. Frankl says (and has observed) "you always have the power of choice, that's the one thing nobody can take away".

So no, I would say you can look to either people "having it bad" or "having it good" and finding in both cases they have the power to make choices.

The problem with that thinking is it ignores the way women are socialize by society and culture. The way people view themselves is influenced by the culture they grew up in and how society views them in their formative years and the influences they have from the media. These are subtle and not intentional.

Twitter Soothes Wall Street with Technology-Focused Growth Plan
As I mentioned elsewhere here, I had a similar experiment (around that same time, I think :-P). What I found worked pretty well was what I called "partially chorded" - where chords in the lower octave determined a mapping in the upper. This eliminates worry about simultaneity and allows one-character-per-keypress responsiveness while still exposing tremendous representation (8 choose 3 times 8 is 448). I found it surprisingly usable in my test application, grouping keys by a fairly cursory analysis of what was likely to go together - minimizing changes of map seems desirable. I never got around to implementing a keyboard driver for it, so it was only available in my test application. I don't think I have the code available anymore, unfortunately - it's something I've always been meaning to revisit.

Well, first, depending on the language, what you think of as up-to-date translation can be not quite up to date. (The Bible is a huge tome and not frequently re-translated. The target language could have changed perceptibly since the latest translation was made.)

Let's look at your "modern" example. Now, I'm not a native English speaker, but I strongly doubt any English speaker of today would use "He took his wife." to mean "He accepted her as his wife." It would most likely be interpreted as "He brought along his wife." or "Person A kidnapped person B's wife." And "knew her not"? Very few people speak like that, and even fewer would mean "did not have sex with her".

These little details add up much faster than a native speaker may realize.

Perhaps more important is the amount of detail that will never show up in the Bible. Read the entire Bible, and I'm sure you'll never learn what "Never mind, I'm OK.", "Nice to see you again.", or "This section is under construction." means. So, you only learn a small fraction of modern language usage, and you learn it in a mostly anachronistic fashion.
