I'm not sure I understand your argument. Let me see if I can restate it:

"If liquidity was really required at the millisecond level, market participants would not accept markets being down for holidays or weekends."

But that is not the point of the millisecond (or sub) resolution. The point is so that the people that provide the liquidity during operational hours can add as much information as they can into their pricing models, thereby requiring them to take on less risk with each bit of liquidity they provide. This less risk gets passed on as savings to the rest of the market participants in the form of smaller spreads. Any increase in that resolution increases the risk to the market makers, who will therefore need to increase the spread to compensate, making trading for everyone more expensive.

This would be true if the markets were only open 4 hours a week as well, though trends are towards more 24x5 (at least) trading, not less (and I think that is a good thing).
...which in turn leads to the question: what did the safety regulations succeed in doing, exactly, other than slowing down these boarding times?
Video data from multiple cameras FTW.
The author mentioned that the Lisp in question and Fortran could operate at the same speed. My impression is that the big use of Fortran has always been numerical algorithms with a bunch of matrix-vector operations — is that not the case? Because if it was like against like it doesn't make any sense, but if Lisp were as fast at matrix operations I figure we still wouldn't be using LAPACK for that stuff.
From an article attached to the book:

"From an initial list of 20,400 companies, we sifted through 11 layers of cuts to identify cases that met all our tests (our study era ran through 2002). Only seven did. We labeled our high-performing study cases with the moniker "10X" because they didn't merely get by or just become successful. They truly thrived. Every 10X case beat its industry index by at least 10 times. Consider one 10X case, Southwest Airlines (LUV). Just think of everything that slammed the airline industry from 1972 to 2002: Fuel shocks. Deregulation. Labor strife. Air-traffic controller strikes. Crippling recessions. Interest rate spikes. Hijackings. Bankruptcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy. And in 2001, the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. And yet if you'd invested $10,000 in Southwest Airlines on Dec. 31, 1972 (when it was just a tiny little outfit with three airplanes, barely reaching breakeven and besieged by larger airlines out to kill the fledgling), your $10,000 would have grown to nearly $12 million by the end of 2002, a return 63 times better than the general stock market. These are impressive results by any measure, but they're astonishing when you take into account the roiling storms, destabilizing shocks, and chronic uncertainty of Southwest's environment. Meanwhile, Southwest's direct comparison, Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA), flailed and was rendered irrelevant, despite having the same business model in the same industry with the same opportunity to become great."

Are you implying that we should use the Chinese Stock Market as a measure of normality?

I've been yelled at in similar situations. For "riding in the middle of the road" when I'm simply not riding in the right turn lane. It's never safe to put yourself in a position where you are going straight and a car is turning right.

VA also notes this in the law[0]. If the lane is a turn only, you don't have to ride near the curb of the turn only lane.

This looks like a great proof of concept with some software (especially a lightweight package manager) which I always wanted to see come to life and possibly use myself!
Same happened to my father while on vacation, but he wasn't hospitalized, just shook up and in distress for a couple of days. Worse, cyclist blew a red light on the wrong way.
(Hi, I'm one of ryno2019's colleagues)

That's a great idea, we're thinking about following the AWS AMI way, where free trial periods are available - and why not make the trial available on any instance type.

I've decided that we're just going to build it out and let people tell us whether they want the product or not.

If you're interested in trying it prior to public availability, feel free to drop us a line at us@supertcp.com - we'll make sure you're the first to try it.

In terms of security, SuperTCP doesn't add any benefits. It's only job is to optimize TCP transmission (e.g. whether you're sending from the cloud to a mobile device, or moving data between regions). Is there a particular problem you're wanting to solve that we might be able to help you with?
Hey guys, this is just a side project of mine. All feedback is greatly appreciated.
That's the important question for B2B companies, how long is the sales effort to close a deal on something like this? How will anyone discover this and buy it?
I find I have about an hour before bed where I really shouldn't be trying to be productive (because if I keep coding or whatever, it'll actually prevent me from sleeping), where some nice video games or some passively-consumed video content can be slotted in guilt-free.

Now, I'm not saying that's the only time I relax, because that would be a lie. But it is a time that at least speaking for myself, I have to relax or I can't sleep.
What's the Windows equivalent for that? (without Cygwin or likes)
You're right that it's poor rhetoric. "Oh Woe" flagellation doesn't fit well in self help writing.

The ancient way of fitting a potentially offensive statement in is to write it esoterically, so that only the people who really want to analyze get the message. The modern way is to call everything a positive, I think.
> Most often, people who use such disclaimers really aren't racist. Or if they are, it's by accidental ignorance, not purposeful maliciousness. In any case, it's more productive to respond with civil discourse rather than claiming offense and biting their head off.

I don't believe that I bit anyone's head off (but maybe you weren't claiming that I did).

As for a claim of accidental ignorance, I don't buy it in the context of the "I'm not racist, but …" disclaimer. If you are aware enough of how you sound to say that, then it seems too much to claim that any actual racism is accidental.

In fact, what I meant to say here was not that racist-sounding remarks are always racist and should never be heard, but rather that someone who wants to say something that sounds racist, but that he thinks isn't, had better explain why it isn't rather than just asserting that it isn't.
I meant only to attack the unsoundness of the argument being presented.

Just because entities comply with "laws", which may have been created (and are modifiable) by the very same entities, does not provide any type of moral, or otherwise, justification that the entities' actions are reasonable, acceptable, exemplary, or other.

In fact, some Nazi's actually tried to argue something exactly analogous to what the sentence argued: that complying with the law can be used as axiomatic justification for any behavior.

I only state that such logic is fallacious.
SNAX meant actually "snacks", does it make more sense this way? ;)
I think I see your problem.

I think the author is misremembering Wolfram's claims. I recall attending the first open demo of SMP, where Wolfram (and I think co-author Chris Cole) were demoing it in a large Caltech lecture hall. Here's what I recall.

They had tried to use Macsyma for their physics work, and found experimentally that it was too slow on what they considered to be "medium" problems, and could not handle "large" problems at all. They were trying to do things that were pushing the limits, and pushing them hard, of what could be done on the hardware of the day [1].

They showed some benchmarks comparing SMP to Macsyma using the kind of problems that had arisen in their physics research. For "small" problems, SMP was a bit faster. Maybe 2 or 3 times or so faster.

For "medium" problems, it was 100 times faster.

And it could do "large" problems.

I don't think I ever heard Wolfram say anything about Lisp being 100 times slower than C in general. I only heard claims like that when he was talking specifically about building systems like SMP, and was comparing basing such systems on top of a general purpose high level language (Lisp) vs. basing them on something built and optimized specifically to support a system like SMP.

[1] The SMP work was done on CITHEP's (Caltech High Energy Physics) VAX 11/780. I was an undergrad at Caltech at the time, working part time at CITHEP as a system programmer and admin, so knew many people involved in SMP development and got to watch it as it progressed, and then was put into production by working physicists.

> Google is just as likely to display Yelp reviews if they were able to collect that data. Yelp however doesn't supply it.

I'm pretty sure arguing for this kind of solution would be silly if Google were to, say, also require payment. I wonder, is this really so much different without money changing hands? Why is it Yelp's responsibility to provide Google access to their data in order to get a fair playground in "Search"? The same Google, by the way, which offers a directly competing product "Locale"?

It's a pay-to-play model, just without any money in order to seem innocent. Except everyone knows that data is Google's real currency, so that whole innocence goes out the window and the true cost to pay-to-play is revealed. I think Yelp is exactly right to want to protect their data from Google, and I think they're right in fighting this.

I ride my bicycle daily in the city. At least once during each trip, a bicyclist blows past me, on the right, and runs the red light that I'm patiently waiting at. Very often, he or she cycles through a crowded crosswalk or in between cars attempting to cross the intersection. This behavior is what gets people mad.

I get mad on the rare occasion when vehicles intentionally try to run me into parked cars.

I never understood, other than impatience, why a cyclist would run a red. Preservation of momentum is just a relinquished opportunity for good exercise. Running a red is literally shortening the cyclist's life by depriving him or her from the foregone physical activity.
I like these sorts of ideas because they come down to trust. One thought I had was to begin curating lists of the best airbnb/homeaway listings to help people find places to stay if they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of available listings.

Any suggestions on family friendly places you've found?
> The ancient way of fitting a potentially offensive statement in is to write it esoterically, so that only the people who really want to analyze get the message.

I'm not sure that I understand this. Are you referring to some older equivalent of dog-whistle rhetoric (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog-whistle_politics)?
