This child needs to be able to grow up in the modern world, not rusticate with your biases against computers and games. It is hard to teach adults a new language, they never become facile speakers. In the same manner, if your child grows up with the ability to use computers and a little later, some programming he will be far better off. That said, he should not spend 150 hours/week on Warcraft. Games help you to master computers - up to a point, after that they waste time. Check with the various online computer learning places, like Khan academy. Suggest Khan academy establish courses for children of various starting ages, and let them progress to the adult programs, you would be amazed at how far and fast they can progress if they are smart enough. In the old days, in tribes, kids learned it all as fast as they could, snakes, bees etc. We are now so far removed from that time, that we forget the learning plasticity of kids, let them go for it, but control the time waste aspects the kids want - leave those as a reward. every hour of A gets and hour of B etc.
Well, I believe the analogy is correct. All the traders will have different IP addresses, and different ping times, so if you place millions of trades and cancels you can assess each buyer seller and see how they respond and also see what they want, and you can create an averaged profile of this sea of buyers and sellers and also pick out those with faster responses and slower responses. Meld this together and you can create machines that can send billions of trades and cancels into the internet and by knowing these times, they can start to choose which ones to cancel and which ones to close. I think the people that do this are inexorably extracting cash for the market across a broad front and this profit is drawn from all traders - their clients and may well be the cause of the current market malaise. A good analogy is a leaking tire, you keep pumping and it keeps leaking and you reach a steady state - you spend pump work = $$. Another way is to think of them as market leeches. SEC sits on its thumb and does nothing - it is another crooked scheme.
This is market judo, push the opponent, measure the response, feint again, and again until you assess the defense - in this case the various times constants of responses, how the market falls and rises with these assorted feints (false trades) and then you attack, force an arbitrage gap and execute two counter trades and grab the arbitrage difference - repeat many many times.
I think this is what is going on with this high speed trading
Marketing boards are mixed good and evil. The question is: Should we pay double the market price for the stability. I even suspect the Aunt Jemima company funds the Maple Syrup control board.
At orbital height the mean free path of gas atoms and molecules is large, the gas released will expand at very high speed and unless released with great precision right in the path milliseconds before impact it will have dissipated and be useless. The precision needed for this is comparable to destroying missiles by collision. A better way would be to counter orbit a device that would eject a block of something bulky with a high vapor pressure, say an ice cube that you could steer with enough precision to impact the object, with 35 miles per second rate of closure = precision needed. The ice would blast the object, making it smaller = more draggy = fall to ground, but make more smaller particles. Which will decay faster.
Ah yes, the ever expanding "strategic Reserve" of maple syrup. This reserve is all about keeping the price of syrup as high as possible = lots does not sell. When the crop is low, they let the price rise and also sell a little from the reserve to fund the process. This much like the price control they exert over chickens, eggs, milk and cheese, by so called marketing boards that do not allow competition = we all pay more.
I forgot, the topic: They have mostly gone away, done away by surface mount ICs, large scale integration and automated assembly. JR sold out almost 10 years ago. Now the pathway for hobbyists follows the software path
Yes, I remember the Atlantic City Hamfest where you showed the first Apple. I shared a booth with John Ramsey of Ramsey Electronics and we were both setting up. I wandered into your booth and you were there with Steve and you had a problem. Someone had pulled out a card and the hex buffers had blown, and you did not have any, nor a soldering iron to fix it. The part was a 74367 I believe, which was later replaced by the 74LS367. I was able to supply you with an iron and some solder and some chips - the rest is history.
I think you are wrong. If we use the helium at the rate is i being made from decal, our use will fall to 1% of current use. We now use a stored resource and 100 times or more its replacement rate and once the US reserves of 1.9% Helium natural gas are gone, we are done. The only hope is getting higher temperature superconductors that can use Hydrogen and have high current capability.
I would like to know how much Helium there is in fracked gas? I expect there might be more as the solid rock the gas comes from has a lower mean free path for Helium, and so it diffuses out more slowly. The large gas liquification plants that use fracked gas may know this?
A newco gives you the chance to grow with them and end up closer to the top, with options? etc. The question is, will it have legs and succeed? Or will it become a deadco and leave you looking for crumbs. It is a risk. On the other hand, you now work at a funco, at a good wage, and are happy enough. How did this job offer come your way? Were you looking? A little unhappy? Recruiters? - be wary, recruiters promises are not worth the air they are spoken with.

Now, That's a good idea - immerse Rogers in boiling water - but drink nothing...
The robots will demand wages, then they will unite, and ask for wage parity with the blood bags. It will not be too bad - they will have purchasing power...

Why not have a cable meter, 25 cents per hour per channel. A family watching 4 hours/night = $1 per day, 8 hours = $2 etc etc. Modern metering can easily do this
There are enough born in the USA nutbars, as well as islamic haters to form a large pool of people capable of this bad deed that I anticipate to read about this being done anytime now.
A small drone, with camera and scrambled controller that can carry a 2 ounce explosive, with a range of 1000 yards can be bought for under $1000, (some for under $300 - with less range and load capability). With such a device, which can be delivered to your door by UPS, can any person be immune from assassination by any other motivated person?
We are entering a period of vulnerability where terrorists can buy such drones and attack anyone. I wonder when the first such attack will occur?
I can see you have never attended PhD level courses. It is true that PhDs are awarded for advances in knowledge. Yes, PhD candidates take courses, there are gaps that must be filled in anyone's knowledge. Once you reach the PhD level you are competent to self teach, but it is more efficient to round out your knowledge by"standing on the backs of giants", as it were, to see further. In addition, groups of PhD candidates teach themselves in tutorial groups, asking questions and trying answers, with research in between tutorials. Often there is a senior prof who leads the tutorial, but they also carry on without a leader.
Khan grows daily, and it quite capable of teaching high levels, even above the doctorate level. Khan is a scattering of disparate modules, and quality varies. It needs to be structured so that it can be learned standard courses in each discipline, on a term by term and year by year basis - albeit in far less time. It also needs lab courses - youtube does fill the lab need, but not as well as a true lab, where fluids are poured and voltages measured and lab reports written and graded. I can see a time where there is computer grading, with a secure ID, tied to IP address to give certificates of some kind. Machine certificates done by remote are still susceptible to hired ringers writing exams for people (which plagues real colleges too), the real world will demand real invigilated exams for each course before a complete course can be graded as passed and an aggregate of course completed as a year passed and three/four years = a degree. Once this is done, the entire degree will be able to compete in the hiring process.
I can see a process of maturation in the idea, but the idea of invigilated exams added to Khan will take a way to pay for this, since it goes beyond volunteer work (IMHO).
Five years from now, we will be amazed at how far they have come. I wonder if the brick and mortar colleges will try to kill the idea???
