I would really like an honest explination of what it's like to be a Day Trader these days? No--B.S.--no chart mumbo jumbo; the truth of what your day is really like, and how you make money competing with the Big Boys(who obviously have insider information), and the unknow number of HFT'ers?

I have know two Day traders in my life. One blew his inheritance on day trading, and is currently living in his van. The other, I met in a bar. He wouldn't give out much information, except he was always bragging about this office electrical grid is on the same main feeder that supplies San Quentin. I haven't seen him in years.

So yes, I would love to know the truth about this line of work, from someone who has actually done it? I don't expect details, or any incriminating information. I see so many people loosing money on Stocktwits daily? I all looks like gambling to me--so much so, If I got into the game, I would seriously consider being a contradiction investor.
Iceland is not free from censorship (and is far from the freedom of speech haven people seem to think it is).

The largest ISPs in Iceland were forced to block access to The Pirate Bay and Deildu.net (icelandic torrent site). These blocks were of course hugely ineffective and at most an annoyance.

Do you not keep notes as you do experiments?

* tap water---control failed
* bottled water (generic store brand)---control failed
* distilled water---control succeeded

and then when writing up the experiment, mention the use of distilled water? You might not be interested in why only distilled water worked, but someone else reading the paper might think to investigate.

ICANN's the obvious choice since they are in charge of assigned names and numbers. They are controlled by a board, who could use a k-of-n signing scheme to sign off on their decisions, to include delegation, and their successors.
It was noted at both Mizuho and the exchange by actual humans, all of whom made the decision that they lacked personal authority to overrule the trader. The report by the regulator later was frosting when noting this, AFAIK.
Thanks and thanks for the suggestion! One thought I'd had was longer/more in depth campaigns. It's good to know other people would be interested in that as well.

One thing I was concerned about was that people might not trust some random guy on the internet to properly discard those credentials.

A good lesson on why it's almost always a bad idea to write your own time-handling code, or to represent time as an integer instead of a proper date/time datatype in whatever language or database you're using.

Why is repeating the :59 second better than adding a :60 second?
It seems hard to say what they're really seeing there - deconvolution to the extent they're doing can be incredibly fickle. You need to know your camera nearly perfectly and have lots of SNR, to start. So it might be more likely that the highly unusual dark region not previously observed is actually a processing artifact.

Very interesting images nevertheless - we'll see how it bears out.
Call me stupid but I thought corn was native to the Americas. I guess something is getting lost in translation.

>But I've also seen the other kind of "failure". The kind where the controls came out perfectly, but the effect or the association or the expression profile that the researcher was hoping for didn't show up. When these sorts of failures are ignored or discarded, then we do science a huge disservice.

This.
That's true with commercial software, but we see similar issues with OSS software. It's not easy for any software producer to maintain an island of stable backports as the surrounding ecosystems move forward. The closest we have are LTS versions of operating systems.

But we don't yet know whether the market would pay for stable app versions that are encapsulated to remain compatible with new hardware and operating systems. The presence of client hypervisors on Windows 10 and OS X will enable new experiments. Perhaps a company can devise a marketing message, business model and toolchain which supports stability and forward-compatibility.
Google hired the grand challenge winners back in 2007. Google has always had amazing world changing side projects. They just don't seem to go anywhere (yet). Google has been talking about satalites for free worldwide internet access since before SpaceX existed.

Don't get me wrong, they're doing amazing stuff. The drone delivery system they built is cool.

It's just that, aside from maps, it seems like they have a hard time pushing through to completion.
Ask HN: What can I do to turn things around and make my 30's “good”?
I turn thirty in a couple months. At this stage in my life, when looking back on my 20s, it's been very disappointing. Sure, there are plenty of good things, but my career hasn't panned out as hoped, was convicted of a felony sex offense, have had to move pack in with parents, and so forth. What can I do at this stage in my life to improve things and make my thirties a fruitful decade where I'm employed, doing interesting things, and feeling useful.

Good things in my life, to date:

- Finished my bachelors and masters degree from a good university.

- Was employed as a statistician in the online marketing industry for four years.

Bad things in my life, to date:

- Committed a felony sex offense while I was an undergraduate at university (ended up serving three years of probation).

- Lost my job several months ago and can't find new work as a result of not being able to pass background checks.

- Moved back in with my parents.

- Never had a girlfriend.

- Degenerative neurological disorder that's slowly taking over my life (a big reason for I have been lonely and likely contributed to my improprieties).

So here I am. I want to turn things around, have a good career as a statistician, and make a descent salary. What can I do to turn things around and improve my life so that when I'm 40, I'm not looking back on my 30's and thinking that it's been disappointing.

To be honest, I'm more interested in having a good job/salary than anything else. If I never have a girlfriend, that's fine, I'm "broken goods" so I understand why I'm less appealing to women.Good things in my life, to date:
It is great that there's a way to improve the lives of these suffering people. Still, it scares me how little we know about how these drugs work (and by "we" I don't mean myself, but the summary state of human knowledge, as it appears to me) and that we still - at least as it looks to me, admittedly knowing very little on the subject beyond popular press - that we still rely mostly on luck and trial/error in figuring out how to mitigate mental illness. That sounds like we'd write code by just mostly randomly putting words together and then run through a battery of unit tests and see if something works. And if some unit test passed we'd declare that code a function implementing that unit test's functionality. I imagine you can get somewhere this way, but it's kind of scary we don't have something better.
Got about half way through this and then realized that this is off my old professors site and I probably already read the whole thing for class a long time ago lol!
Most day traders close all their positions at the end of each trading day, so as not to be exposed to overnight gap risk. (A "gap" is when the opening price in the morning is not equal to the previous day's closing price. These occur when relevant news arrives after the 4pm ET close.) So if he was really a day trader, he would have been in cash.

It's possible he had been spoiled by the big bull market and didn't know how to trade successfully in a bear market. Different tactics are required.

To be fair, the only example "where they left" is AES, where the leader was forced out by the shareholders and replaced with a more traditionally minded leader, so it's not the leader's absence which caused the reversion - or at least we can't know for sure.

The other examples don't show a leader leaving and the company reverting to traditional top-down, as far as I can remember.

There are some directions to take from here. Zoology is having a new golden age with the new electronic devices in fact. The problem is that even with the sixth extinction accelerating, the real money is in other areas.
What's wrong with being written in C++? It's a high-level, fast language with higher-level abstractions and better typesafety than C and decades of expertise built up around it.

Sure, that means it has some legacy bits that need to be supported, but to some degree that's the price of having a mature codebase.

Having compiled LLVM and rooted through its internals trying to implement a plugin, it looks pretty well-architected and internally consistent. Codebases that cover as much as LLVM+Clang do being that clean is a rare sight, IMO. And it's not slow.
Greatest joy in life is being able to make others happy. Not saying it's easy, but try that venue of approach. Well worth the time you spend pondering it.

Yes the columns are underdesigned. That's typical of paper designs for elevated railways. Compare fictional drawings of monorails with the many real ones.[1] The Tokyo Haneda monorail has held up well through several earthquakes. Assume the Hyperloop will need comparable sized columns. They're bulkier than the Hyperloop conceptual drawings, but they work.

The expansion joint problem is probably solvable. Take a look at some standard piping expansion joint options.[2] A "bumpless" expansion joint is an unusual requirement, but one could probably be designed. Two tubes slipping over each other with an interior lining of braided mesh might do the job. The SF BART tunnel under the bay has huge rubber expansion joints. It survived the 1989 earthquake with no damage.

The larger Hyperloop design (3.3m diameter) is probably more useful than the little (1.43m diameter) one. The smallest successful bizjet is about 1.5m diameter.

Emergency exits will be a big problem. In practice, some form of emergency access every half mile or so will probably be necessary. Eurotunnel has a cross-passage between the tubes every 375 meters.

All you need to do to thrive at google is love 5 star gourmet food. It's not uncommon to see in-house smoked bacon for breakfast, and then have quail for lunch. And then wild boar sausage rolls for a late afternoon snack.

The biggest problem in my opinion is lack of capacity for the induced demand a working hyperloop would create. A single train can carry the 4-hour capacity of an LA-SF hyperloop.

Many C devs love to hate C++. I guess is something like some C++ devs love to hate Java. It's a bit of a heritage issue :)

It's certainly not "all you need." I love food and did not thrive at Google. The food is amazing, but food alone won't make you happy at your job.

A few thoughts on the UX from my two minutes on the site.

When I created my event, the first thing I did was select a date in the calendar, before going down the page to fill in the other details. When I got to the bottom, the submit button was greyed out, which confused me. What had I missed? It was only when I scrolled back up that I saw that events require a title, which is confusing and frustrating.

The timeframe bit is confusing, too. First I'm asked to pick my slot length (let's say I choose a four-hour slot between 19:00 and 23:00, because I'm going to the theatre), but then I get some radio buttons asking for the same thing... and I've only got three options (15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). I've just told you I want a four-hour slot. Do these radio buttons override that? Confusing.

I found some of the UX elements a bit fiddly to use on my laptop, which slowed down the process. If the idea here is to have a really quick way to schedule meetings, I think things could be a lot clearer and more straightforward. The only thing you /really/ need to know is the date and time, right? Maybe I can add more information later if I really want to?
To Intel's defense, there is a reason they resort to their approach of gradual improvements. In 1981, after a couple of successful iterations on their CPU, they did make a clean break with the past with iAPX 432 [1] - an entirely new 32-bit CPU designed to be programmed entirely in high-level languages. Hardly anyone seems to remember it, and for a reason: it failed, hard. Intel seems to have learned the lesson and didn't do this anymore.

Neat! I really like the easy pricing model.

Quick question - are you concerned about trademarks (Amazon and such) being included as the phishing templates? Reason I ask is that I'm working on a hosted project [1] similar to this and have considered including default templates. I've held off for this exact reason.

Edit - another question, your screenshot in the intro page shows an email (in the Gmail client) coming from "support@github.com". Github has spf records setup so I would be interested to know how you manage to spoof the actual email address itself without getting flagged as spam.

I'm sure most things probably could (though still unfair if some have to explicitly acquire these rights by contract while others get it by default). The government's obligation at death is the sticking point.

This case was about getting a spouse's name on a death certificate. The DOMA case was about taxation at death (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Windsor ).

I also found it a bit strange but I think it affects your overall impression of the company and how they treat their employees.
bcache uses this technique, for building up lookup tables for searching btree nodes.

One thing I didn't see mentioned in this treatment is that's possible to directly compute, given the size of the tree and a position in the tree (i.e. index into the array), the position of that node in an inorder traversal - and it's fast. That can be quite useful (bcache uses it for pointer compression).

> Internet in russia became very limited and censored.

I guess that you must really be craving attention or perhaps it was a part of your marketing pitch, but try and not exaggerate things beyond ridiculous. Internet in Russia is a far cry from being "very limited". I travel there every few months to see family and I'm yet to hit any limitations or blacklists.
Interesting, though this shouldn't be an indictment on HLAs in general, rather the iAPX 432 in particular. Same way the Mach server was only the tip of the iceberg in the sphere of microkernels.
I also used OpenVPN. We started out by making a wrapper over the OpenVPN client on windows. Hindsight being 20/20, I would recommend for someone starting out with building a VPN provider to start on focusing on building a great infrastructure and not worrying about having your own client applications from the start. Stand on the shoulders of giants, the OpenVPN client(s) are great.

We didn't realize this but in creating this application we sort of inherited all usability problems from OpenVPN, without inheriting their solutions and known workarounds.

Personally, when an employer made me jump through hoops, asked too many personal questions, or just pissed me off during the hiring process; I happily accepted the job.

I never forgot what they put me through though, and showed zero allegiance to the organization. I put on a smile, and kissed the right people, but in reality; I was a horrid employee.

I don't think companies realize how certain employees hold grudges? That HR idiot who calls every phone number on the resume, and talks for too long should be fired.(I know they're suspose to keep it brief in most states, but as a past employer, they have kept me on the phone for too long. I have had HR dudes call me when they were out at dinner--drinking--heavily.. I had one lady ask me, "Does the girl do drugs? She seems like the type?" I was floored. The women in question had a slight speech impediment, but overqualified for the position.

I would like to do away with resumes. I always felt a test would make the process fairer, and would do away with nepotism, padded resumes, and all the other BS we have had to put up with? (By the way--it is illegial for an employer to check your credit score in California.)

'Corn' means the main cereal plant in a region.
I help teach a "Computational Thinking" undergraduate course for non-CS majors. The topic at heart here is essentially Abstraction. Specifically "Data Abstraction", since there's more than one kind of abstraction in a bigger picture, but we don't try to tackle that nuance with our students.

We say that Abstracting an entity (the most vague word we've found, referring to people, places, things, events, and even other abstractions) causes you to lose details. That abstraction is contextualized to a stakeholder, since you have to have some criteria for deciding what details you keep and lose. An abstraction for a person would be different if it was for Facebook ("Name", "Age", "List of Friends") or for a doctor ("Name", "Age", "Sickness"). Abstraction is powerful because it lets us concretize real, vague things into something that a computer can understand and process ("Because computers are very stupid!").

I often discuss how an abstraction loses a lot of valuable data. One student was working with NFL games, representing them a set of properties like ("away team name", "home team name", "away team wins", "home team wins"). That representation ignores how many interceptions were made, the weather that day, the feelings that the crowd had, how much effort the players put into training - a lot of "humanist" data.

This article makes me wonder what goes through their minds. No one's complained about making these abstractions - they've never suggested we're ruining a game, a historical event, or whatever we're abstracting. But I think maybe we should encourage the students to think about what happens when you abstract something and what it means for the entity and not just the stakeholder.
That's a refreshing idea for a change. Well done!
Very cool! Thank you for writing this article, I found it very helpful and extremely interesting. I also found it a very nice read in general.
