If he had paid the right people and bought a seat on the exchange, they'd have called it HFT and it wouldn't have been an issue.
His problem is that he didn't make enough money off of his scheme. If he only made 100X that, he'd be called goldman sachs and get a seat on the treasury.
The laws of physics are absolute even if we don't know exactly what they are yet. If they're not then you're essentially saying that anything can happen at any time for any reason, i.e. magic exists.
Most 20th and 21st century physics controvert this. There are proofs that show that some things that are completely unknowable. There are other proofs that show we can only be sure that certain things happen with some probability. Schrodinger's cat may be alive, dead, or both. Modern physics does indeed tell us that anything can happen at any time, with some probability.
60 is a great number, evenly divisible by many factors.... . I propose we switch from counting in base 10 to a much easier system such as counting in base 60.
Your explanation just proves the superiority of the metric system.
I agree, that I don't like the explanation, this one I think is a better one.
1 Cups = How much I drink when I want to drink something.
1 Pints = If I'm thirsty.
1 Quart = If I'm sharing.
1 Gallon = If I need some for a few days or a week.
It's not great for science, but standard measurements are great for life.
When full EV cars started getting pushed hard, with the Leaf and Tesla, companies (at least in Silicon Valley and Bay Area), were quick to convert the best parking spots closest to the building and right next to the handicap spots to EV charging stations, (mostly free of charge). Malls and other public parking spots started doing the same, to make it more attractive to buy EV vehicles...
I would guess that another reason they get the best parking spots is because they are eye catching. People coming in and out of a mall stop to check out the electric vehicles. It's marketing.
The point is that Trump's supporters have no solid evidence that there was not enough time to review the emails.Their extreme view of it is that all 650,000 emails were relevant, and that therefore it should have taken 18 months * 650,000 emails / 80,000 emails = 146.5 months to review them.
I've reviewed emails in a hurry working at a law firm. It's totally mind-numbing, but single person can easily get through 1000/day. Plus, many are likely dups, and most software can thread emails so that stack of 10 emails turns into a single thread. They had about ten days, so 100 agents could have easily handled this review. Working over-time, and culling dups, I bet they could have done it with 20.
I think the term "nurse" is what might stigmatize it, namely because of the implications of the word (i.e. look at the verb "to nurse".) A better sounding (and more accurate) description for it might be "medic" or "medical assistant". Call a nurse practitioner a "medic practitioner" or something like that.
Good point. This country has a huge healthcare problem, costs are too high. It's arguably a much larger problem than a lack of women in engineering. It's ridiculous that one of the things that's holding us back is this antiquated nomenclature.
It takes work to extract and transport resources. It takes work to grow, harvest, and transport food. So it's all work.
That's only half of the equation. The value of a thing is determined by supply and demand. Supply is arguably a function of the amount of work that goes into the thing, but demand is completely different, it's how much people want it. So price is really closer to Want divided by Work.
Then in that case, the U.S. has been dying since it's founding?
which produces worse not better results
Have you walked into an advanced STEM class in the United States? Easily over 50% of the people in the class are immigrants who want to stay here. They make the country smarter, but we kick them out and send them back home.
It is how professional organizations make their money. If you are the client of a top firm, you expect that experienced personnel will be handling your case, but in reality it will be tackled by their newest low-level hires but billed as if top performers were doing it.
Clients often sign up for firms for the top performers, but it's not as if they're getting tricked. They understand that the top performer only does 5% of the work because there is no way a top performer could handle all of that work. But even if the could, there isn't much point. The top performers work on the "right" 5%, in law firms, that means the trial. It's often that 5% that sets one firm apart from the next. That is exactly what the client is paying for, and they know it.
In the same way, companies in the US and EU use outsourcing to make profit...
I could go on here. Everything you write just seems misinformed.
The Wikipedia article is interesting. It mentions that one of the better existing devices generates 9,000 liters a year and takes up 6,500 sq. ft. of space. Assuming it scales linearly, 2,000 liters per day would require 527,000 sq ft of space, roughly ten football fields. If you could increase efficiency by a factor of 2 to 10, and similarly reduce costs, this x-prize challenge would be feasible.
Men in nursing has been increasing for a while, although the figures are still pretty small.... It's an attractive job. When you have an attractive job, you don't need to do anything to stimulate interest in it. The market will take care of it.
Don't you think that the attractiveness of that job to men is at least somewhat offset by the social stigma against men in nursing? Men should be nurses, but many are choosing not to against their financial interest simply due to the social stigma around it. That isn't fair for men, and likewise for women in programming.
The singularity is here! AI can read emotions and can understand you. Let robots vote for our leaders... scratch that, let robots become our leaders! Long live the singularity!
Um, you do realize that there are networking technologies to protect the network from practically every scenario that you mentioned?
Four nines availability means that a network is down 52 minutes per year. Five nines means five minutes per year, less than a second a day. I'm sure few are actually timing it, but I highly doubt Apple is even achieving 4 nines with all of their services. Would anyone notice if iTunes is down for a few seconds a day?
I love what Tesla is doing with technology, but I'm really disappointed with their marketing. If they could explain their story and their limitations clearly, without calling it "self driving" or "autopilot", they would gain so much credibility and advance the state of the art without endangering the public's acceptance of self-driving cars by needlessly pushing social limits.
This team was responsible for building a network at Apple that was so reliable it would never down. Not rarely — never.
Leave it to business insider to make ludicrous claims about network availability. If Apple's network had 99.99% uptime, and it would cost ten billion dollars to add another 9 to it, I'm pretty sure they'd rather pocket that money than spend it on more redundant switches/routers.
Let's take a moment and look at a company that is really doing right. I've been incredibly impressed with the way that Samsung has handled this situation, given the amount it will cost them. The vast majority of companies (e.g., Toyota brake systems, Apple iPhone batteries, XBox power issues) would continully deny the existence of a problem right up until the recall and then do the absolute minimum necessary. The fact that Samsung is going above and beyond what it would take to limit their liability should be lauded.
2 years to build a new Soyuz capsule after it's ordered? It takes Boeing and Airbus about 80 days to build a 777 or A380.
Wow, 80 days to make a 777? It takes Toyota only 17 hours to make a car! Wow, 17 hours to make a car? It takes my corner deli three minutes to make a sandwhich!
ISS, like the Space Shuttle program before, is more of an ongoing PR promotion (and jobs program) than any kind of useful scientific mission. Either send humans to Mars or stick with unmanned missions.
How would sending a handful of astronauts to Mars to live on life support for a few days be any less of a PR stunt than the ISS?
The thing that made America great in the last half of the 20th century was the ability for citizens to build and keep wealth.
Maybe it was also that all the factories and wealth in Europe was destroyed, and that the U.S. was one of the few countries in the world with working infrastructure. Maybe all of this is just inevitable.
There are always things that distract parents from family time.
Television has been far more harmful than smartphones or the internet. An entire generation grew up from the 70s to mid 90s totally glued to television programming and their sponsors. Smartphones have a bad side, but they are at least moderately active, requiring users to search and find content they like. TV is as passive as it gets, total brain rot.
It is just unfair, that the rich have a better life than the poor... The government must mandate equal quality of life for all!
I get that you're being sarcastic, but if you believe that the internet is as trans-formative as electricity, roads, or in-door plumbing, then there is a good argument that it should be available to all.
My guess is the lawyers will go after whomever has the deepest pockets that they think they can force to a settlement, liability be damned.
In a perfect world people wouldn't be dirt bags so this wouldn't happen. In our world i would guarantee you're 100% correct.
They're not necessarily dirtbags for doing so. Those with the deepest pockets also have the greatest ability to prevent accidents. If you have the ability to prevent an accident, you're more responsible for preventing one.
Do smart cars need lines on the road they can actually see or are the faded-to-nothingness lane and directional dividing lines sufficient?
Absolutely, faded lines should be sufficient! Nobody would get into a car if they knew they would die if the lane dividers were faded.
That said, it's reasonable to assume that having brightly lit lines will allow cars to move faster on closer. Similarly, with smart roads: I can see them being used to increase efficiency, but they should not have to be necessary.
But three former Yahoo employee have now said that actually the court-ordered search "was done by a module attached to the Linux kernel -- in other words, it was deeply buried near the core of the email server operating system, far below where mail sorting was handled... They said that made it hard to detect and also made it hard to figure out what the program was doing."
Why is this a contradiction? Yahoo deals with billions of messages of a day. It's entirely possible that Yahoo built Kernel modules to handle mail sorting to squeeze out more performance from the kernel.
