This was encouragement in the wrong direction for me. Yes they are monitoring everybody. But if you practice love, peace, patience...there is no law against these things. Therein lies true peace, because happiness doesn't come from liberty, temporary safety, Benjamin Franklin, or deserve neithers. ??? Profit.
Irregardless, it's a good book and I'd still recommend reading it.
FYI, US Copyright is notoriously weak. Most EU countries just have a strong Copyright law, which is how they handle Intellectual Property. Your schematic design is not patented, it is covered by Copyright.
Personally I think it's more along the lines that the USB-micro connectors don't last anywhere near as long. The connector on the phone seems to be ok, it's the connector on the cable that plugs into it that keeps losing rigidity and starts wiggling out if I pick the phone up after have plugged it in for charging for the night. I can't imagine what would happen if they put one of those on the bottom.
The EU is a bunch of clowns that couldn't figure out why a unified currency with differentiated deficit spending was a recipe for disaster. The last thing I would expect them to be an expert on is device desgin.
It's similar to the people who really, really want to waste USD $150 on a pair of Air Jordans. Most of them aren't going to buy them for playing basketball, they buy them because of the brand name and because of the perception that it will somehow make them cooler.
Very much the same thing when it comes to Apple products. Most of the people buying them don't understand what the specs, features and limitations mean for them. The only thing they know is the brand and the belief that it will somehow make them hip.
that's no perception, that's reality. We refused to sell out (or "buy out" I suppose), so we are nerdy and uncooler.
If the government decides it's not in the public interest they can stop it. At least they should tax it so as to extract the maximum revenue. E.g. 0.1% on every transaction, waived if you hold the instrument more than 10 minutes.
Bro, that's not how government works. Government stops things that it perceives are not in THEIR interest. As long as they keep getting bigger campaign contributions from the people making billions on HFT than from the small guy looking to be protected from HFT, it will continue to exist.
Also, a simple tax wouldn't be enough, look into the CFDs created to get around the UK's stamp tax (tax on stock transactions). It would be passed as a gesture to the small guy while the real game is allowed to continue. I'm not really sure why the SEC hasn't banned HFT yet.
If you're saying that arbitrage should be illegal, you have no idea what you're saying.
obviously you have no idea how to read, because that's not what he said.
"Just got a better offer elsewhere" "obliged to hold two short positions" No. It's easy to write the algorithm around this. That's why only the worst of the worst (KNIGHT) lose at this game.
It's clearly enough to push IBM around. IBM! IBM is not a small cap. This is antagonistic towards long term investors. Some guys had trailing stops and were shaken lose by bending the system. Sorry, but that's stealing to the tune of (volume * range/2). IE, a few million shares in volume * (196.50-195.00)/2 so 2,000,000 * 0.75, or $1.5m. Stolen.
The only reason this hasn't been criminalized yet is the public has no idea what's going on, and the politicians are receiving campaign contributions from the guys benefiting from HFTs.
the profit in HFT comes from exposing those who cannot protect themselves to risk via liquidity. Long term investors have precisely zero interest in microsecond liquidity. It means their fortune can be lost without a chance of recovery when the markets go haywire, such as on May 6th 2010: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Flash_Crash
Tell me, what use is this kind of behavior to the market? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/wtf-skynet-chart-du-jour That's IBM we're talking about. This is of precisely zero value to the long term health of the market. HFT needs to be banned, or microtransactions taxed a fraction of a cent per transaction. Not so much that it's not prohibitive to meet the market if it really needs the liquidity, but enough to protect the "little guy".
I've found watching great for grasping concepts, but you definitely need the homework for doing the actual work. Understanding recursion when you look at code, and remembering how to write it yourself, are completely different. Remember back in college you look over the study sheet and it says "recursion" and you're "oh I understand that", but then you take the test and it tells you to write a recursive function operating on some linked list or something and you have to waste 28 minutes hacking your way through it because it's the first time you've actually sat down to try it.
meh the higher ranked schools have so many students in a classroom it's not like you can challenge the teacher.
Ideally Khan will turn into a pay-for solution if you want. You can watch the vids for free, but you can get access to a "TA" for a fee. Using special interface or software that Khan designs, watch video and place bookmarks + comments at parts you have questions on or want to challenge, then get customized responses by the TA.
I wonder if that would influence the videos in the wrong direction...make them intentionally confusing or wrong so that you want to challenge them...hm...
The more I think about it, the fact that chess is public domain makes in infinitely better than any game like Yu-Gi-Oh! that belongs to someone.
And it's not just because Chess is free and you have to pay, at some level, to play Yu-Gi-Oh!. It's because chess belongs to everyone, to humanity
that's why copyright was set to expire after 15 years (or 10 or 20...it was much shorter than the 75-95 years we have now [thanks Disney]), under the founding fathers' original plans. This meant 1. you must keep creating content in order to keep making money 2. your old content enters "culture" quickly and does not remained locked away forever like Walt Disney's greatest creations or Star Wars to be sold again and again for $$$profit$$$ to every generation.
air is a horrible dielectric, not to mention the "cancer" you'd probably get from driving over the equivalent of 1000 cellphones all transmitting at the same time.
once again, you shouldn't have been given a driving permit if you didn't understand that you might need to "pump" the brakes in an emergency situation such as when the brakes lock up in the rain, or if the engine cuts out.
shouldn't we mandate a safety mechanism to save the mechanics? Perhaps a display and camera that shows how close the mechanic's hand is to detonating the airbag? One display for each camera, should only add a few hundred bucks...
Yes, the Cop was a poor driver, but to be fair the Lexus he had used a push button start that you had to hold the button in for a few seconds before the engine would turn off. Studies have shown that when people are panicking they stab at the button quickly multiple times to try to turn the car off. That would have had not affected that Lexus. A better UI would have had the car notice someone pushing the button multiple times and shut the car off.
If you can't think fast enough under pressure to solve this "puzzle" (one which you should have been prepared for before even being given your drivers permit), then you shouldn't be driving.
turn the car off. Just turn the ignition and pull the keys.
Definitely do not turn it all the way off and "pull the keys". If you do this, you may engage the steering wheel lock feature, and the driver could try to swerve and find the wheel locked in the turned position. If you do chose to turn off the car, just turn it one click to kill the engine. But as has been mentioned above, simply applying the brakes firmly should always be effective, and failing that, neutral is a good option. Neither of these have the steering wheel lock danger.
if you can't think fast enough to solve the problem you just created for yourself in turning the key to the "off" position from the "on" position, then you shouldn't be driving and never should have been given a license.

In my experience CNN typically writes stories with fancy headlines to generate clicks.
This story fails the BS sniff test.
^calculating the energy required to accelerate a 2 ton object to orbital velocities in under 100 yards is left as an exercise for the reader.
it's probably on the order of the entire consumption of energy of the planet for one hour, condensed into less than 1 millisecond
so, you'd rather do basic math in your head than sleep with hotties?
what are you, gay?

GZIP, RAR, etc all do waveform analysis as well.
There was one time I zipped the WAVs and it turned out right around the same as the FLACs.

HFT is theft and is antagonistic towards the long term investor.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/wtf-skynet-chart-du-jour
This is not good for the small guy. This is not price discovery. This is theft.
