I am curious about how the old-style traders actually did their jobs. Did they base their trading decisions on data or instinct?

Rail and electrified commuter air could be complementary. Nothing beats rail for moving large number of people efficiently.

The problem is that even if its completely subscription based and has no native advertisements of its own, your data remains very valuable so there is an incentive for the company to sell your data.

Potentially very useful but it had incorrect names for the county level officials in my county. There does not seem to be any way to send in corrections.

Really well done. I will recommend this to my local school district.

Looks promising but it would be useful . One of the problems with hardware hacking in the US is the demise of local shops like Radio Shack that sold components. It can be very intimidating to order a few parts from the big sellers like Mous

These appear to be from the 1990s mainly. They are very good but there was a lot of good stuff from the late 80s as well - many happy memories of reading posts by from John Mashey, Eugene Miya and Henry Spencer etc. On an side, I understand

A Butlerian Jihad perhaps? Frank Herbet was really on to something in his Dune series.

Same here. I work on conversational systems and our explicit goal is to enable our customers to replace humans with our systems.

Its not just automation. There have been many more applications of optimization to reducing operating margins. At my company, there was, for example, a project aimed at identifying the optimal service intervals for heavy mining equipment. A

Another prerequisite for basic income would have to be the separation of health care from job based health insurance.

Interesting. I was sure that a more powerful motor and powertrain would be heavier and more expensive to manufacture. Looks like I need to study more on this.

I think would. A car similar to Leaf with a 400 mile range would be very attractive for me.

I don't want 1000 hp in a car. I'd be happy with say 200 hp and go for extreme range instead. I have no problem with a car that takes 12 seconds to accelerate to 60 MPH. I would not mind paying say $75000 for such car but but it d

This is a terrible policy. Do other email providers have a similar policy?

In a similar vein, one idea that has often crossed my mind (and offered free to any taker): In most tropical coastal areas, there is an abundance of both humidity and sunlight. So why not use large banks of solar powered dehumidifiers to ex

The attached PDF is wonderful. Is there any other cluster of companies in the world capable of such high-precision mechanical and electrical engineering outside of northern Europe?

Indeed - Eddie Lampert seems to be very strongly driven by ideology instead of business.

Good point - I might go for one of these myself

Wow - I had no idea that Atari was even in this space. Talking about Transputers, I spent all of 1989 working on a Meiko computing surface with 40 T800 Transputers. Had a glorious time writing code in Occam for the traveling salesman proble

Exactly the same here. It's 4:16am right now and I just fixed a problem in my code that seemed baffling last night. I used to try and push myself to finish things at night but have come to realize that most of the real thinking happens

Not trolling but genuinely curious what kind of things you are trying to advertise. I have read elsewhere exactly the opposite that Facebook ROI is very good due to the precise targeting. I am just a back-end developer!

I think this is the heart of the matter. Automation and AI will ensure that many jobs will never return.

Inequality and xenophobia are not mutually exclusive. One way in which resentment of inequality is expressed is in the form of xenophobia.

This is crazy. In all the battery packs I have seen so far, the convention seems to be that the micro USB port is for charging the battery pack itself and the type A port is for delivering power to the device to be charged. Looks like a new

I have these - not bad if you're mostly sitting but if you walk around with them, they move around in your ear resulting in booming noises.

This may be very well received in the model railroad community. When building a layout, one of the techniques (called cookie cutter) for creating the subroadbed is to cut out shapes from a sheet of 4 by 8 plywood similar to this gadget. See

Such bad timing :-) Not ten minutes ago, I just ordered a USB keyboard to setup my new Raspberry Pi 3! Let me add to the others that this is a great idea.

In the Prius, most of the accessories including the air-conditioning compressor are electrically driven from the traction battery so your proposal can easily be made to work.
