Post pictures of your girlfriend, and we'll tell you if you should propose. Give a snapshot of your kitchen, and we'll make redecorating suggestions. Post your eTrade login and password, I'll take a shot at helping you revise your portfolio. Thinking of buying a house?
We know nothing about your company, what it does, what the people are like. We have no fucking clue what you should do, because every situation is different. If there is one decent bit of advice to be had, and this comes from the Veep level with 20 years in:
1. Everything starts with the directory system and
2. Calendaring derives from it.
Kirk and Spock would visit a planet where a Starship captain had gone all Heart-of-Darkness/Colonel Kurtz and set himself up as a despot/tyrant on some planet and ditched his duties within Starfleet.
I think of those episodes, as I imagine a starship helmed by Sarah Palin and the type of civilization that would arise if you let her and a bunch of teabaggers colonize a new planet.
It is about the fact that Goldman Sachs had, and continues to have, network taps that are closer to the exchange computers than anybody else. They have latency advantages of up to.2ms on trades, which is a gigantic window if they can cache other orders and jam theirs into the front.
Others have pointed out that Goldman Sachs record is statistically IMPOSSIBLE. See Seeking Alpha here:
Also, the exchanges have seen rashes of NOP orders placed. Fake trades designed to jam the queues to create artificial windows of opportunity to front-run big market movements. Goldman Sachs is probably (fuck probably, they are certainly) gaming NBBO and pocketing the difference millions of times a day.
For the less market knowledgeable out there (basically, most of Slashdot), they are running the scam Richard Pryor did in Superman, or in Office Space. They are skimming pennies off the market by seeing a trade ahead of it hitting the exchange, then jamming NOP orders in while they calculate and move a trade ahead of that to piggyback on the effect of the larger trade on share price.
Sergey's code probably contains stuff in it that jams NOP orders into the system, or shows how it using something simple like the dragon tools or plain ol' tcpdump to inspect orders as they fly-by on the tap. In fact, Sergey's code may PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that Goldman Sachs is tapping the NYSE Exchange computers ethernet feeds. That would be a bombshell of the first order.
Like I said, look beyond the technical press and look at the financial press. Goldman Sachs is coming to the poker table with a marked deck and it can be statistically proven.
HFT is a smoke screen. The frequency of trading is moot. if I can look at the world's trades before they hit the exchange and process and effect NBBO, I now have a license to print money. Doing it high frequency just makes the printing press run faster.
You show us everything you've got
You keep on dossin' and the net gets hot
You drive us batty, we'll sue your ass
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You kill our blog, we'll drive a spike to your chin
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin
I wanna kick Simmons ass all nite and blog every day!
I wanna kick Simmons ass all nite and blog every day!
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the shade of a Satellite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of sunshine like the mayor say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the moon from Google Earth
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That NASA has taken away I'm done
Sadly, Slashdot is not on the list of social sites to monitor for activity. We're all just too dorky to matter. I mean, come on, Huffington Post? The girls are hotter over there, I guess.
1. Cowboy Neal breeds with Britney Spears, embryo placed on next Voyager spacecraft
2. Duke Nukem Forever gets released on the iPhone
3. Cached copies of goatse.cx for all mankind
4. Raze Hope College to get rid of the world riff-raff
5. Rename the GPL,the GNU Pubic License, just for the Lulz.
It's funny, in that article circa 2002, Forbes thought Citibank's C2it would crush Paypal. Didn't happen.
Now, the British who know something about World Banking, might take it with MoneyBookers. https://www.moneybookers.com/app/?rid=3809503
Either way, Meg Whitman knew the Ebay ship had sailed, she got out why the getting was good.
HP's board used a technique usually only employed by private dicks, called "pretexting", to round up all the private cell numbers of board numbers, so they could figure out who leaked a HP story to CNET. This was in '06:
This company makes Intel look like shangra-la. Working for HP, even at the top levels, is akin to working for Uncle Joe Stalin in '43. They're gonna know who you are and where you live, who you talk to and if you like giving it hookers up the butt. Everything and more, for the HP paycheck.
Remind yourself of the company history and tactics when deciding on that new printer.

That's exactly how a Tesla works.

The Open Source movement owes its existence to it. Many a intellectual property lawsuit has been decided by it.
You didn't have to tell us you were bad at grammar. The 'where' was enough.

This here is Huckleberry Hound, tracking down what's coming up in broadband. And here's Pixie and Dixie to tell us what's in the box.
What's in the box boys?
A gigabit modem adapter.
Well how about that? I wonder if it works.

There needs to be a book on HP like Jackson' book on Intel:
http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Intel-Andrew-Powerful-Company/dp/052594141X
HP, Cisco, Intel - all of these are cultures of paranoia and spying. Much of it has been documented in books like the one above. Caveat emptor.
