HFT allows the Market Makers to have total control over the price. They literally intercept all orders for most institutionally owned stocks in order to manage the allocation/inventory of shares to make sure shares are available to use

Sounds like these are businesses with aging owners with no succession plans that can also be modernized. They are sustainable and healthy but will run out of steam at some point so they buy them, modernize them, and ultimately sell them bac

Right there with you. Their focus is on smoke and mirrors, not putting content first. If the first thing I have to do to get to the content is move your interface or big pictures out of the way, you're doing it wrong.

I don't own an Xbox, but do they not have a mute button on the player level? On PlayStation if someone has no inner monologue, annoys me, or whatever, I just mute them or don't friend them so they can't hear me. Problem solve

Remember the 70s and the energy crisis which spawned the sub-compact car? Can't we just go back to that instead of giant vehicles with an auto loan that is bigger than the mortgages of the 70s? Better gas mileage, traffic moves faster,

Just a side note/addendum, I worked with entertainment lawyers A LOT in the early days of the web on copyrighted images and while they start from a rigorous position what one simply has to do is find out what the guidelines are that al

They are indeed making copies in the strictest sense, but the real problem is if the copyright holders don't enforce their copyrights in the strictest sense they can forfeit their copyright. For example, if I let the public use an imag

Whatever the problem this would appear to solve, it makes more sense to me that router company should simply build in a 256GB web server into every router so people can host their own site. Routers are expensive and what's another $20

Fireworks was the best. Not compared to the crazy stuff Photoshop can do these days with 3D models and all that AI wizardry, but unlike Photoshop Fireworks could be used to draw box with a border using it's shape tool like Visio. I wo

I have the same issue and often just reconnecting using a different node/city resolves it Annoying as hell, but sometimes the problem is the nodes in the US show as being in EU for some reason.

It's not about KNOWING, it's about CONTROLLING. The concern is they can shut off your ability to make transactions if you don't cooperate with whatever their agenda is at any given moment, like what the truckers in Canada pro

It feels like when you're on a plane and it suddenly drops due to turbulence without warning. Only you could be anywhere doing anything.

On this point, forums are about fostering a community. Social media is about sniping comments. Metafilter has the best implementation I thought, which is you subscribe and can't comment for 30 days so it stops reactionary commenting at

I still prefer good old fashioned plain HTML. If you want an app, write an app. Keep the web HTML and accessible to author by anyone rather than require one become a programmer of someone's proprietary scripting language.

Someone just needs to create an institution that does nothing but verify the research/experiments of others.

The way it works is pretty cool, they literally have server based consoles sitting racks as local to the user as possible that load up the games. But Sony only uses it as a solution for supporting old titles on new consoles and to an extent

Love my gas stove, won't live without one, and it keeps my home warm in the winter even when the power goes out. Gas is much more cost effective than electric as well. Also lobe my gas water heater for the same reason. Hot baths during
