The requests for proprietary code and algorithm parameters by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a Wall Street brokerage regulator, are part of investigations into suspicious market activity, said Tom Gira, executive vice president of FINRA's market regulation unit.
``It's not a fishing expedition or educational exercise. It's because there's something that's troubling us in the marketplace,'' he said in an interview.
The Securities and Exchange Commission, meanwhile, has also begun making requests for proprietary algorithmic trading data as part of its authority to examine financial firms for compliance with U.S. regulations, according to agency officials and outside lawyers.
The requests by SEC examiners are not necessarily related to any suspicions of specific wrong-doing, although the decision to ask for it can be triggered by a tip, complaint or referral.
What you're looking for is a mobile plasma gasification platform. Garbage in, energy and landfill filler out. The benefit is you could generate power onsite and use the resulting carbon as roadway filler for rebuilding local roads.
Holy shit, so much THIS. Germany has amazing safety nets, and at the same time understands how to properly allocate labor in businesses, going so far as to not laying people off when times get slow, but keeping people on the payroll to train and prepare them for when the economy rebounds so ramp-up is much faster.
Germany is single-handedly keeping the Euro together at the moment, by backstopping the PIIGS with crumbling economies (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain). They can be as "socialist" as they want.
Which isn't going to get investigated unless you incurred tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages/losses due to the breach. And by the time its realized how the breach occurred, that physical evidence is going to be gone, wiped or swept away by the nightly janitor.
Just reading your comments makes me go "uggggghhh". While I understand you may have the time and inclination for Mercurial, your own email and jabber servers, etc., I shiver just thinking about all the time that goes into having to manage your own personal servers for things like email and jabber. No thanks. Google can handle my entire life, with it being backed up with Backupify for $5/month. Time vs Money tradeoff and all jazz. I don't have anything so personal that I'd care if someone at Google actually saw.
Adorable? Thats interesting. Not sure what your whole comment is about (yes, I can weld, I learned how to and was certified at my local community college, which I'm sure you'd find is close to my old employer, Fermilab, where I stayed for only a year due to the incompetence and bureaucracy of their Computing Division. Yes, I own a hosting company, its not huge but big enough for me to live a comfortable, fulfilling life, allowing me time to pickup skills like welding, scuba certification, a CFI pilots license, etc. And yes, I'm 28, turn 29 this year, and have been doing IT since 18 with no college degree and a GED).
Yahoo tried to be the big data conglomerate, but lost out search to Google, social to Facebook, mobile to Google and Apple, etc. I doubt they'll be around in 3-5 years (or will be just an empty shell of their former self). Tech evolves quickly. My whole response was to say: This is me as a person, my needs, and what I use. Original poster highlighted features he thought we important for Yahoo's personalized homepage, Webmail, and Maps. I simply posted out my opinion regarding the subject, and my thoughts that Google provided superior products.
I'm the exact opposite. Profile: 28, male, married, very tech literate (own a hosting/tech consultancy firm). Gmail account for everything (personal, business, local community college account even for the fine welding/fabrication classes they offer that I take), Calendar as well for personal and business, Finance for my portfolio. Hell, as I type this, I'm in Google Chrome, which syncs all my bookmarks across my Windows and Mac machines, as well as my Nexus One and my Xoom tablet. File storage? Google Docs. Contacts? Google Contacts, also synced across everything. Google Maps and Navigation for more uses than I care to type out at the moment. I emailed someone at Google my new subdivision street (with supporting info), and the data was corrected in under a month.
My point? Yahoo was your thing, Google is mine. Yahoo may have had the lead, but they gave it up (for various reasons, mostly business/management related). Its all about momentum, and I think Yahoo doesn't have enough vision, management competency, nor technical talent to compete against the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Apple anymore.
Sorry to be the Messenger (or Google Talk, if you prefer).
As an ex-Fermilab employee myself who was lucky enough to work with Troy (and able to just email him when I needed a feature stuck into SSH in SL), congratulations! Best of luck!
1) Business logic in site: If funding time is going to overrun a calendar boundary of a year for a charity, do not allow creation of Kickstarter campaign
2) If a charity campaign fully funds, kick out a PDF receipt via email (I get Kiva receipts this way when I donate to them)
3) You only get a receipt and can count the deduction if a) the charity campaign was fully funded and Number 1 applies.
Simple answers? I'd argue yes for the most part. There is a huge potential here for them. Otherwise, it leaves a space for another site to rise to do the same thing, and eat up what Kickstarter does at the same time.
Which is somewhat bullshit. "Oh hai! Want to donate for someone to build a tabletop holder for your iPad? Money us! Want to donate to a charity project? *NO*"
You just described the US you fool. Bust-ass costs? Someone is paying for the uninsured no matter what, and its usually the insured through higher premiums. Snotty sense of entitlement? USA! USA! (even though we rank MUCH lower than any first world country in the quality of our healthcare, despite spending many times more). Black whole in national budgets? Well, I'll leave that for you to figure out.
If you can't create your history in a day or so with a resume, (fake) contacts, Facebook, etc. you have no business being in any sort of information profession.
IT people are the most self absorbed, arrogant spoiled brats I've ever seen, and there isn't a single reason for it. Just a bunch of people who think they're smarter than everyone around them because their lack of a social life let them learn a little more about Windows than others.
Righhhhhht. And that's why Apple is currently worth more than Exxon.
IT people aren't absorbed. They're just tired of being taken advantage of. IT drives most of the world now, and most in IT realize this (hence, they understand their value).
Thanks to both you guys. I got to stand feet away from the Dragon capsule that went to space and back an hour after watching the last shuttle launch. Pretty. Farking. Awesome. Keep up the amazing work.
Airwaves, physical in-the-ground right-of-ways, doesn't matter. Both are shared, public resources we grant organizations the privilege of using (either for monetary or in-kind compensation). It doesn't matter if you have to pay for them or not. Paying for something doesn't mean there aren't strings attached.
Doesn't Verizon have to allow open access to any device on the 700mhz frequency band they purchased the right to use due to rules Google asked the FCC to stipulate?
The FCC regulates the airwaves, which is effectively the same as a right of way. Just as your local municipality can force whatever rules on Comcast/Cox/TimeWarner/*incumbent cable provider* for the right of way rights, the FCC can enforce regulations on organizations using a public resource.
Meh, to each their own. I run OS X on my Macbook Air and my Mac Mini at the office, but also moved my Dell XPS box over to OS X.
The only OS you're not going to have licensing issues with is Linux. If you want something stupid-proof, get custom-built Chromium and have the user do everything web-based.

A whole lot of effort in that post, and I still want HFT firms and the people who work there gutted. Good luck with that.

Fucking scumbags is what HFT firms are.

Making $1.5B in profit on $20B/year in revenue is not what I'd define as a company starving.
THIS. I'm on this plan now with a Nexus One, and my wife is on the same plan with a G2 I bought outright.

R&D. Their margins probably anywhere near sufficient to support staff to sit around all day working on better versions or techniques.
Sometimes, you're lucky like Tesla and you fund your R&D with expensive cars. Sometimes, you need outside money.
You just described the US you fool. Bust-ass costs? Someone is paying for the uninsured no matter what, and its usually the insured through higher premiums. Snotty sense of entitlement? USA! USA!

Which is why you legally change your name, which you're not required to disclose in an interview.
Well played Mr. I-have-a-5-digit-UID =)
Been doing IT since 18, turning 29 this year. Owning your own business definitely helps. Definitely.
IT: Doctor pay; janitor respect.
You make prison sound like its worse than an IT career. You must be new to the field.
Dump /dev/random to the backup files; have any restore verification utilities report AOK when it reads the file. Just sayin'.
IT people are the most self absorbed, arrogant spoiled brats I've ever seen, and there isn't a single reason for it. Just a bunch of people who think they're smarter than everyone around them because their lack of a social life let them learn a little more about Windows than others.

Only the ones who got caught were busted for it. What? You thought all crime gets reported?
