Optiver Amsterdam | High frequency trading company hiring C++ software engineers. | Fulltime, Onsite, we can arrange work visas.

Optiver is a well established market making company utilizing an in-house built HFQ trading system. We are seeking smart developers who are willing to step outside the boundaries of a classical developer position. Ideal candidates are willing to interact with, guide other departments, learn about trading, and eventually contribute their own ideas in the functional as well as the technical space. Writing code is not in itself a goal, but a means to get our work done better.

We have various positions open ranging from quite technical to more business focused developers. Tasks include market connectivity development, internal data access systems, algorithmic trading framework and trading algorithm development and data analysis. We are hiring for all positions and levels. Details on the different positions available here: http://optiver.com/amsterdam/careers/jobs-and-events . The company is dynamic and flexible, these job posts are more suggestions, rather than rigid categories.

If you have any questions drop me a mail at gergelykalas@optiver.com
This is why we should have more software architects and systems engineers working in politics. They know how to deal with problems at multiple levels of abstraction, and they know how to keep complexity down.
Thanks! We're working hard to make it the perfect customer conversation tool. :)

Frankly, that's a pissweak argument against significantly harsher penalties for poor people vs wealthy people. The transgression committed is the same, so the punitive impact should be the same. Instead we get a much reduced penalty for wealthy folks (both relative and absolute) - and the difference has zero to do with the nature of the transgression.

This particular penalty is 25% of the full amount if you happen to be decently monied at the point of being fined - it's almost explicitly a 'poor tax'. Almost.
We evolved from a predator/prey environment. As a result, we have little regard for the life of species we prey upon, or those we consider parasitic. Our fears are mostly built upon the apprehension of a new predator.

Had we been a fungus, we would probably fear that keeping the AI running would burn too many resources, leaving us starving. Running out of resources is one thing we humans don't fear much; unlike fungus, we can simply change location.
You can definitely do that now.
Jetcoin – An experimental new currency
For people wondering about complexity of financial products, and if individual banks and traders did or did not precisely understand the implications of what they were doing, i wholeheartedly recommend everyone read Dit kan niet waar zijn (This cannot be true) by Joris Luyendijk. He spent about a year doing “anthropology” in the London financial sector, and it's a fascinating, horrifying read. I'm not sure if that book has been translated into English yet, but otherwise his column at the Guardian makes for equally good reading [1].

Go live in a world where theres no securitization of debt, no interest on debt, no mitigation of risk, no insurance against risk, hell even no banks.

No banks means no jobs, bad housing, no tools, no pc's, no security, no stores - but that dosnt matter, cause you dont have any money either, bad food, no mass production++

Most people commenting in this tread has no concept about what finance is and does, so it must be inherently evil.

Well, the world is more complex than that. Without finance your standard of living would probably be below one tenth of what it is now -unless you already live on the street of course. But then you wouldn't care because you'd probably be a alcholic or druggie. You won't get hold of any drugs or boose either so your fucked as well.

Tldr; The world runs on debt & oil. Get used to it, it isn't going to change anytime soon.
So in this scenario, you either got an indefinite-term loan with a 0 interest payment, or you took a big risk by betting that the cost of borrowing would not increase until you could pay down the loan.
That would become advertising of a product then...

> If it decides to exterminate us, there's nothing much we can do.

That's absurd.

No inorganic intelligence ever created rivals ants in their ability to survive on Earth. They are way more energy-efficient, and way smarter in the survivalist sense, than any of them.

If ants decide to exterminate us, there's nothing much we can do. Except they wouldn't succeed.

But you probably think that we, humans, are much smarter than ants (which is arguable). Yet again, if we decided to exterminate ants, there's nothing much they can do, but we wouldn't succeed.

They're too smart for us, and we're too smart for them, creating a situation where annihilation of either is impractical.

I'm not sure why people consider inorganic intelligence differently from the way they consider organic intelligence. I wrote a bit about it here: http://espadrine.tumblr.com/post/119471459626/on-inorganic-i....
I've been working on a ES6 composition-based library that might help out here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fabricant

The idea is you declare which components will be needed and the library takes care of instantiating objects with the necessary components for you. It works something like Unity (the game engine)'s entity-component architecture.

How do you mean recovered? Banks have already taken a 50% haircut on their Greek debt. The 2011 round of Greek debt relief, in which only private creditors were participating, was worth 100bn. That doesn't sound like risk free yield to me.
> nobody reasonable has any question about the overall health effects of cigarettes.

This is probably not true. Sure, smokers know that cigarettes are harmful and that their live is probably going to be shortened by smoking, but they do not know the rates or severity of the various health problems.

For example Most men do not know that smoking is a leading cause of male impotence. People don't understand why their surgeon wants them to stop smoking (reduced risks during surgery; better healing after).

Anyhow, having lost a part of their investment, and taking the deserved loss without being unnecessarily shielded by the institutions are different things: it does not matter if they lost 50bn, if the European institutions saved them from losing another 50bn by piling up the risk on the European taxpayer.

There were probably sound reasons why we helped the banks back then (contagion risk, instability of financial markets, ...). What is being argued now is that there are equally (even more valid, since they involve human suffering) reasons to help the Greek now.
Quoting http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2015/06/greek-pe...

"Yet there was a crucial hole in the reforms: they largely sheltered older workers, so that they could retire on broadly the same terms as before. As an example, Platon Tinios, a pensions expert at Piraeus University, highlights the reform limiting the list of arduous occupations. This no longer included new hairdressers from 2012 but all those with more than ten years’ experience retained their previous right to retire five years early. The new accrual rates applied to years worked from 2011; previous years worked still benefited from the earlier more generous formula (although the resulting benefits are then subjected to the cuts applied to pensions in payment). According to Professor Tinios, “the vast majority of those planning to retire this decade are grandfathered” (shielded) from the reforms."

FWIW I really liked the presentation. I think placeholders for the videos is all that is needed. :)
Well, it's a cynical take, influenced by my cynical (and, admittedly, kind of ignorant) view of the USA FREEDOM Act, which I presume is a major part of the "different place" Holder is referring to. In many ways its purpose is by definition to bring us back to the same place by restoring expired laws. People like natsec whistleblowers, ACLU, and EFF don't seem to think the passed version does much -- a small symbolic victory at best. Personally I worry the gov't and media's labeling it as "reform" will contribute to fading interest in the public. Holder could be nudging that propaganda here. So yeah, I am reading too much into what he said, but that's sort of my reasoning for it.

To be fair, I am not sure how I would define meaningful reform, but I think it needs to do more than USA FREEDOM. I could be missing some other progress, too?

>To see Haidinger’s brushes for yourself, look at a blank white portion of an LCD screen on a computer, tablet or phone.

Holy crap, it worked! They're very very very faint, and if your monitor ins't clean, they're easy to miss. They appear right where you're looking at. If you imagine two lines coming out of your eyes at the screen, they show up right where the lines converge. Very faint and pale yellow, almost looks like a fading after-image.

Only saw them when I rolled my head left and right / up and down. Imagine pointing one ear towards the floor and the other towards the ceiling - I oscillated between these two positions and saw it.

It was harder to see when I unfocused my eyes like I was going to look at a 3D picture. Easier to see when focusing on the spot in the screen I'm looking at.

> although the resulting benefits are then subjected to the cuts applied to pensions in payment

So, the cuts still apply, partially, even to the people who are retiring early.

And anyway: you are a worker, having compromised to work for a meager salary because you know that at least you are going to retire early. You work 30 years and have nothing to show for it, but the promise of an early retirement. That is the deal you have signed, the deal you have been promised: "you will work for free (nearly), in exchange of retiring early".

And now, they are supposed to accept a retroactive contract change? I would also not accept it.

If you are going to break deals, why not break the debt deal? Restructure the debt, and start from zero. Maybe that means you need to leave the Euro, and maybe that is good for you.

It is worth pointing out that Syrizia didn't ask for a debt relief (reduction) in the last round of negotiations, upon which the referendum was based.

They asked for a restructuring. The same amount of debt was to be owed but over a longer period of time and at a lower interest rate.

The reasoning was quite simply that at the current rate and loan period, they are unable to take any advantage of the quantative easing currently being undertaken by the ECB.

Varoufakis explains it quite nicely onnhis blog. The debt as it stands is unsustainable. Restructuring would help tremendously. They haven't asked for a reduction.

that checkers is a draw. The proof consists of an

It's an ouroboros turning into a catch 22 you can't have an open system with high level of trust if the computation is trivial.

Look at the BC network now it's either huge centrally controlled mining pools or multi-million dollar mining farms which are controlled by individuals, this isn't decentralization of anything but computing assets as far the the pools are concerned.
