Is google that fast? After posting this, I got curious about why the nans are shaped like Sri Lanka. So I googled it.
The first hit was the parent post, time stamped nine minutes ago. Is google that fast?
... All Indian restaurants are serving nans shaped like Sri Lanka.
Come on, people. Do something useful, like looking for that damned missing air liner. Looking at clouds and seeing various animals used to be a childhood past time of mine. But giving press time like this is ridiculous.
I don't fully get it. But in my alumni mailing list, the die-hard Republicans seem to be rooting for and seem to be very satisfied by the friction between the masses of San Francisco and the tech employees. Some strange logic like, tech employees are largely Democratic, and the masses of CA are also Democratic, so any fall out between them would benefit the Republicans. They keep posting links to excessive pay for tech tycoons and links to these kinds of news stories. Seem to be under the impression this will turn tech workers into Republicans.
There are people willing to pay several hundred dollars per pound for the coffee beans that have gone through the digestive system of some rodent because of the claimed superior flavor and taste. But these people need some certification and testing agency to confirm it was really rat-pooped coffee because they can't tell the difference on their own.
The Australian Financial Review today reported that ASIC had told the inquiry into Australia's financial system chaired by David Murray the regulator would consider introducing a half-second clamp on trades to remove HFT's speed advantage.
HFT work by seeing the order in one exchange at one price, and the same thing is available in another exchange for a slightly different price, simultaneously buy in one, sell in another and pocket the difference. Plain arbitrage, something Commander Vanderbuilt apparently did back in the days when news traveled on horseback during the day time. And he traveled at night in his sailing ship and raced ahead of the news, dumping bonds from bankrupt New York corporations.
These exchanges communicate the prices between themselves and take slightly longer than 350 milliseconds for the news to travel between exchanges. These big trading companies have faster access to both exchanges and are able to act on them. Would it be enough to delay all orders by 0.5 sec? Even if one trading firm sees the price difference, before it could act on it, the news would have traveled and it could no play micro second arbitrage.
This is my understanding. It might mean any trader must hold the instruments for 0.5 sec before trading it again. Not really sure what the article means by clamp.
This is not correct. I rent out a property in Florida at the fairest market price, let us say. Whether or not I make a profit depends on how much I invested, when I invested etc. The profit or loss I make depends on my history of activity. It has no impact on the ability of my renter to get cheaper rent. Fair market price is determined by the supply and demand equilibrium. Profit or loss for the players in the market is determined by their history. The fact A makes a profit or loss does not determine whether the price A charges is fair or not.
You do realize origin of species, origin of life, origin of universe are all interchangeable to most people, right? Once there was a Russian cosmonaut who visited our college campus, with the cultural attache acting as the translator. We were engineering students, he was talking about rockets and orbits and the cultural attache made no distinction between the terms "force", "power", "momentum" and "energy". It is all one and the same to him.
In this universe we have this abundance of matter over anti-matter. Just over the quantum horizon in a parallel universe there is an abundance of antimatter. Together the baryon count would match and everything would be hunky dory. It happened this way because in the very early universe an matter+antimatter pair manifested themselves such a way that 99.9999%th of one matterparticle happened in this universe and 99.9999%th of its counterpart materialized over the quantum gap in the parallel universe.
There is no evidence for this hypothesis, but I plan to capitalize on the first mover advantage. When the internet completely destorys all vestiges of religion and make everyone atheists, they will be looking for someone to mouth of fantastic things without any evidence to provide "meaning for their lives". I am going to be there on the mountain, mouthing of stuff like matter, anti-matter, quantum horizon etc etc.
What little that is not FORTRAN is in PL-1
There are a few assembly language code using fixed point arithmetic. And the only comment in the entire code base is # RIP JSB
So if macroscopic superpositions exist, there must be an algorithm that can solve this NP-hard problem quickly and efficiently.
Super position holds only for linear systems. All this analysis proves is, nature is not linear. That is all. It does not prove quantum mechanics comes from NP hard nature of some equation or another.
All other hooven animals in Africa found it easier to evolve longer hair to thwart the flies. Why Zebra did not choose that path? It is easier for the fly to adapt to landing on striped surfaces (change a few neurons reconnection in the brain, more like software update) than to evolve longer proboscis (more tissue, weight limit on flying organisms, more like hardware refit).
Using painted fake horses and sticky glue is does not mimic a real zebra skin that emits sweat & odors. Real skin has subtle temperature variation patterns etc. A badly designed experiment, unwarranted conclusions, not a complete literature study to be aware of other prior explanations, no attempt to design the experiment to bolster the new explanation against existing explanations...
Will give a B for undergrad project, C for a masters project, D for masters thesis, and an F if it is part of any PhD level work.
Even in India there are count down clocks on many signals, telling you how many seconds of red is remaining or how many seconds of green is remaining. Just simple feedback like this would reduce accidents and save fuel for the drivers. This technology is easier to implement in a phased manner all over the country rather than fancy-nancy technology involving "the cloud" and such stuff.
Admins, this is the line I have drawn in sand. I have put up with all kinds of crap. I did not complain too much about Beta. But once more time you put up an auto playing audio, you will be banished. All the 2^7 days read continuously or 31 achievements will be discarded and the account abandoned if it is done again.
Where do the revenue to sustain the gaming industry come from? Mostly from people overloaded with testosterone, with an urge feel the thrill of killing, maiming and engaging in wanton destruction. Most games award points for what would be considered "bad" behavior in real life. Cheating, hitting other cars, forming secret coteries and trick other gamers, betrayal etc etc.
Is it any wonder the gamers extend the "boundaries" of the game to include the entire gaming infrastructure? The gaming companies say, "these are the games, Here you can get hit other cars, or trick another user into losing they cyberberries. But this part is not a game, and you should behave honestly". The gamers see it holistically, they would steal the game from the gaming companies if they can, they will steal the cybergoodies from the companies if they can, they will run the game under virtual machines and use software to change the game state and cheat.
After encouraging and rewarding such behavior "inside the game", trying to discourage it "outside the game" is not going to work. The gamers do not agree with the gaming companies on what "inside" and "outside" of the game are.
No. I am not saying that. The statement was the Republicans hence not won the popular vote for a long time. If re distribute Ross Perot vote and Ralph Nader vote to R and D, R would get 92 and 04. D would get 96, 00, 08 and 12. Four and two instead of five and one. D's demographic advantage is undeniable but the extrapolation curve is a little over estimated. R still has fighting chance in 16 and 20 unless they change their policies.
Clinton 1992 due to Ross Perot splitting Republican vote. Clinton 96, again due to Ross Perot. Bush 2000 due to Nader splitting Dem votes in Florida. Only three straight contests, 2004, 2008, 2012. R 1, D 2. That is the score now.
The conflict of interest between the customer and the consumer is very big. For example a physics simulation company would sell design analysis tools. Its customer is the company that buys those tools, your Intel, Apple, BMW, Toyota... whatever. The consumer is an employee of that corporation. The customer wants the tools to be easy to use, and produce accurate reliable answers all the time. But the consumer wants the product to be easy to use on some parts but very difficult to use in other parts. He/she wants a tough learning curve to create a barrier to entry, and the results to get more accurate using less resources depending on experience. Customer wants even newbies to learn to use it quickly and produce as good a result as the veterans. There is a conflict of interest between customer and the user.
They have been blasting Its a small world after all (the planets) for ever to the waiting line for Magic Mountain or whatever is their roller coaster ride.
Look electric car is not like health insurance. Health insurance must be sold across the state lines and nationwide. Healthcare companies should be able to find states with friendly regulators. They need to set up shop at a place where the judges, juries and arbitrators would be friendly to the company not the claimants. So that is why we should support healthcare being sold nationwide.
But the electric car is a very complex product. Most users don't know how to drive a car. They need to be trained and licensed to use one. Remember you don't need a license to be a patient to a doctor or in a hospital. Shows you how complex the automobile is. And you add on top of this electricity, which you can't see. They say Tesla runs on electricity. But I don't want to cars trailing miles and miles of extension cords. They will tangle up in the road and create fire hazard. So electric cars must be sold only via authorized dealers and you should not even be able to buy one across county lines, leave alone state lines.
There is an instance of elegant code that solves a real life engineering problem that beats the competition by orders of magnitude in speed, resource usage, robustness and accuracy.
Unfortunately my employer thinks it belongs to the corporation, because they paid me something they call salary to me when I wrote it. They would not let me show it to you all. But this much I can tell you. The key to writing such wonderfully elegant code is to avoid exaggeration, stay away from bragging, and most importantly eschew snark.

It does not matter what Samsung invents or when it invents it. Apple has already patented it.

See what happened to you? I went and fixed the quotes in my sig, and your follow up makes no sense now.
Hey, who took away my quotes? Did beta do it? Or I never noticed before?

These violins are to be heard, not seen. They should have done a double deaf study not double blind study.
