Interesting, etymologically.

"Good bye" is a contraction of "God be with ye (you)", which isn't quite so abrupt. "Au revoir", literally, "until (we) see again".

Similar to "Hasta manyana" (until later), or "bis später" (same), Spanish and German, or "zài jiàn" ("see (you) again", Mandarin Chinese) . Farewells (literally, "fare thee well", be well) in many languages share similar attributes.
Awesome that service worker is a requirement for this to show up. Hopefully this makes creating offline enabled apps more important.

" I think the real problem of Google Code was that it took them too long to support git."

Yeah, this is true. Part of it was that it was going to require a ton of work to fit Git's concepts and protocols (remember, git only started supporting smart http in 2010) into the infrastructure we had.
It wasn't until the storage backend for code was completely rewritten, and better http support was added to git that it really became feasible.

(Note that Google code has a completely replicated storage backend infrastructure. It's not just a ton of git/mercurial/svn setups)

One thing I'm unclear on -- do you already have a really large Git repository which is getting too slow to use, or are you just contemplating building a repo that will be that large and you think that it might be too large?
Okay thanks I found that info here https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/

Figured I'd find it on the home page or under pricing or something.

Yeah, that's kind-of the point though.

The government guy could have said "Hey look I think this guy is going to go to the feds and we're all going to go to jail! Give me the money and I'll take care of this problem. If you don't, I'm going to come after you because I'm not going to go to jail for this."

At that point, a person might not feel that they have any choice. And the government gets to claim that "he ordered a hit"
Ironically, it seems the biggest opportunity here is implementation rather than theory.

You could view this as a general marketplace for micro services, which may or may not utilize complex algorithms. The stuff that's too small or too vertical to be offered by the mainstream cloud offerings.

The academic slant will become less emphasized and the value add, time savings, and platform as a service aspect will get promoted.
It actually can be considered a success in the style of the original intent of Chrome, Fiber, the Nexus line, and who knows, maybe the upcoming MVNO: to spur innovation and increased investment in a stagnating product area.

When Google Code came out Source Forge was horrible, and Github didn't exist. Google Code helped both open source software and the market for code hosting. Now there's a dominant, but so far so great, offering with Github, and several very good competitors.

Google Code wouldn't have even launched today, it's both necessary to projects and to Google.
> I think it is fair to for GitLab to pitch their service, considering that the google code blogspot post specifically mentioned both GitHub 8 times and Bitbucket 3 times, while GitLab offers similar functionality.

The only thing similar between gitlab and github is that they do something with version control. Gitlab is not a place for open source projects.

The projects with the most stars on gitlab s gitlab itself with 221 stars right now. Even the smallest nodejs project achieves that popularity on github.

There are many other hosting services like gitlab, what would make gitlab different so that it would deserve a pitch there?

Right. If you're totally unfamiliar with HFT, you don't realize how far they go to get latency down. Computers are too slow for HFT. There are trading algorithms written in VHDL and loaded into FPGAs which are looking at packets as they come in over gigabit Ethernet.[1] (That description is four years old and out of date.)

All this is really to achieve front-running, executing an order after another order has been submitted but before the first order is executed. This is betting on a sure thing. It's also illegal.

FWIW I think the main problem is that you're essentially creating an "infinite space," meaning there's an extremely high number of URLs that are findable through crawling your pages, and the more pages we crawl, the more new ones we find. There's no general & trivial solution to crawling and indexing sites like that, so ideally you'd want to find a strategy that allows indexing of great content from your site, without overly taxing your resources on things that are irrelevant. Making those distinctions isn't always easy... but I'd really recommend taking a bit of time to work out which kinds of URLs you want crawled & indexed, and how they could be made discoverable through crawling without crawlers getting stuck elsewhere. It might even be worth blocking those pages from crawling completely (via robots.txt) until you come up with a strategy for that.

>Assuming government resources are needed to be spent to help resolve this

Many of the other fixes talk about changing laws, and my suggestion was basically in the scenario that those don't work. (I do grant that a law change would cost the government some money to implement, new permits, ect.; I just consider such costs when broken down per person help to be effectively zero and to, in large part, already be paid for by all the already hired staff.)

So I guess the question to you is... what about all the poor people in every other state. Have you asked them what they want to be done, so we can fairly allocate money? We could give those in need in SV ($TheirPoor * $BudgeToHelpThePoor)/$TotalPoor and let them spend it on what they want and if they run out, tell them tough luck.

On a side note, what happens to the average individual who wins big in the lottery?

Nope. That's how you minimize US casualties.

Anyone else scared of the Github monoculture?

I am.

For all the touted distributed version control advantages we now have one world global centralized repo. Yeah, yeah, I know you can clone it locally. But of course if all the issues, and testing, and build tools are tied to Github. Isn't it a bit disconcerting?

Maybe I am just paranoid. And not saying that Google code was going anywhere, I saw more and more projects switch to Github and Google code receiving less and less attention.
I hope those millions of pages are not linking into Google Code URLs, which are repos for developers. I don't think popular libraries like jquery core and fonts even have Google Code URLs.

They should be linking into Google's Hosted Libraries, which are separate and will continue AFAIK:

He hired CIs posing as hitmen a few times. His diary/movie script/fictional book on his laptop they found claimed he tried to kill an employee who had potential to snitch, and a scammer in Canada that ripped off many users.

He also agreed to a higher price for the "hit" in Canada, as it was claimed by the CI the target lived with 3 other people and if they were to collect all his assets as ordered then everybody would have to die. Ross was totally cool with that and paid.

I also don't think this is why his fanbase on SR dumped him, they seemed more pissed that his security practices were so terribad awful it put everybody else in jeopardy. It's almost as if he read his own forum's security base and then did the opposite of what everybody said not to do like "Never order fake ID to where you live" and "Don't sit in a cafe ordering drugs off this site" (don't sit in a cafe/library and run the site either).

The money he paid to kill non existent people was way more than what they caused him to lose through scamming, he could have paid back the losses out of pocket with his huge stash of bitcoins instead of seeking vengeance. He acted exactly like a boss of a gangster dial a dope operation that orders the hit of one of their drivers they think is ripping them off.
why was the order flow of retail brokerages worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year to these HFT firms?

Order flow from retail brokerages can be assumed to be "non-directional", which means that it comes from people who are buying or selling for some reason other than "I have better-than-market knowledge of information which will shortly be relevant to this stock."

One extremely important example of directional order flow is when you have the knowledge "100k shares of this stock are shortly going to be shopped on various exchanges" because you're doing the selling. This will typically cause price impact (i.e. the price of the stock declines), meaning that market makers who take your first few hundred/thousand shares are going to get shellacked. They generally don't love this.

In the (virtually guaranteed) absence of directional order flow, market making is a license to print money. Both sides pay you the spread and you don't accumulate much inventory risk. (i.e. You buy, you sell, you sell, you buy, and you're rarely left with a meaningfully sized position in either direction which would expose you to the stock at issue.)

That's why you pay for non-directional order flow. It's like leasing a toll bridge.

And under the regulation we might have been required to ask at minimum $120 for that stock when it was trading at $100. If the stock had a big day and rose to $200, Nasdaq would just raise our ask to $240, or whatever exact amount the regulation required. The only risk compared to the old way of doing things was that someone would hit the stock with a huge enough order to blow through all liquidity in one shot on the way up to our ask.

I´m comparing the top end Pixel model (the same price as the base macbook), which mounts an i7 at 2.6Ghz, with more cache than the 2.7Ghz i5 of the base Macbook pro.

Cpuboss gives the edge to the i7, but if you have some source with benchmarks comparing the two CPUs (or similar ones) I would be really interested in seeing them, in particular how TDP affects performance.

In my opinion the recently refreshed 13´Macbook Pro is one of the most interesting machines on the market, for the price.

I think you're confusing two different issues. If a retail customer's order is actually sent to an internalizing firm, then trading ahead of it would be _actual_ front-running, is already illegal [1], and is taken very seriously by the regulators.

What Lewis _calls_ front-running in his book is something completely different, and involves reacting quickly to public information rather than misappropriating private information.

I'm pro "net neutrality" in principle, but I'm genuinely curious how we expect to achieve true "net neutrality" given how the internet works. Obviously the internet is not a fully connected network, and we don't have infinite bandwidth.

Could an ISP could decide to only peer with networks that happen to throttle Netflix, for example? Do we expect the government to force every ISP to peer with any network that wishes to peer with them, for free? Maybe at the "market" rate?

I read the book the week it came out and it felt like watching a gripping thriller. I think the reaction/ debate to his book was a (welcomed) distraction for the Wall Street bankers. His book left much unanswered, inevitably, but I fail to see any progress/ change since he published it. His debate on Bloomberg with William O'Brien (BATS Global Markets Presidents) was legendary and great viewing. But ultimately Brad Katsuyama came out as the hero of the book and it would be interesting to know how the IEX Group are doing now... I hear there are plans to make it in to a movie? Perhaps I will be able to watch it as a gripping thriller...

I wonder how "security" catches onto you.

Pretty simple where I work. First, they block all ports (including tcp 80 and tcp 443) from going out the firewall to the Internet. Second, they make you access web sites via a proxy server. Third, that proxy server uses software from a company called Blue Coat that strips out the actual site's SSL certificate and replaces it with its own that all of our workstations have been configured to trust. Fourth, it then stores all your SSL traffic in unencrypted form.

I work at a bank, but this is an extremely common scenario at all kinds of U.S. based companies. I make sure to not use any personal HTTPS sites while I'm at work for this reason.
Thanks Morbius!

Access is open on Algorithmia and anybody can view the source code of any of the algorithms. The charge comes at the time of hosting it on our infrastructure so what you are paying for is compute (a part of which we donate back to the open source project).

Even leaving aside the assumption of uniform distribution, hail time isn't only a function of distance. Once you get below a 5-minute expected hail (which happens regularly with Uber in the middle of DC), a substantial portion is eaten up by the driver simply orienting himself after accepting a hail, then trying to find the passenger when he arrives.
I think it is important to make the point that you cannot buy the items for the value you sale them at. For one, you are selling them quickly, which means selling them at a loss. Then add in that you are selling the items used, 'other-used' is valued at far less than 'self-used', which means even if you buy used once you moved, the items have lost value. For example, I'd much prefer my own bed that I slept in for 3 years than a strangers bed they only used for 2.

Your understanding of what defines front running is incorrect.

Front running is when your stock broker gets an order from you but then turns around and executes an order on his own behalf before he executes yours. This is illegal because your broker has a fiduciary duty to you, his client.

It's not front running when I see an order on one exchange and then, very quickly, go make an order on a different exchange. It's not illegal because I have no fiduciary responsibility to any of the other people involved.

You have no right to execute multiple orders on different exchanges atomically.
