  1. Re:The market is rigged already on The Hacking of NASDAQ · · Score: 1

    Either you allow the market maker to take the bid / ask spread or you pay a broker a commission to get you the market price. Either way you give up a little to have access to a convenient centralized market. This seems reasonable, but maybe you'd prefer to buy and sell your securities on craigslist? ;-)

  2. Control the chef, control the world... on When Algorithms Control the World · · Score: 2

    World changing algorithms:
      chocolate chip cookie by Toll House
      potato salad by Betty Crocker
      Quicksort

  3. VIM style shortcuts on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    On Windows I made an AutoHotkey script where CapsLock allows me to use VIM type key commands EVERYWHERE! Try it.

  4. Re:Define "Liberalism" on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if we're using the European or the North American definition of liberal. They're mapping all of political thought into a one dimensional variable and saying there is a gene that's correlated with that variable.

  5. Re:LINUX rounds numbers fine on Microsoft Losing Big To Apple On Campus · · Score: 1

    Is there any reason to suspect that Univ. of Virginia students are different from the students elsewhere (in terms of their computer choices)? If so then we have sample selection bias but personally I'm fine with the extrapolation.

  6. Re:University cartography or geography department on Digitizing and Geocoding Old Maps? · · Score: 1

    I also agree - my small regional university had huge scanners for maps in the geography / environmental sciences dept. They'd probably scan them for free in order to get a copy for themselves.

  7. Too stochastic... on Netbook-Run Dice Robot Can Rack Up 1.3 Million Rolls a Day · · Score: 1
