Is there somewhere where I could find a list of HNMeetups? I've always wanted to attend something like this.

Reddit isn't censoring Gawker websites... They're no longer even censoring the article Adrian wrote.

I can't believe Gawker is still seen as the "Good Guy" by a lot of people on HN. The hypocrisy of Adrian Chen complaining about /r/CreepShots is astounding. For reference: http://www.gawker.com/upskirt

I do this as well, but I sometimes question whether or not it was worth the frustration when using a colleagues computer.

Mystical mentions that Intel's compiler uses loop interchange to gain an extraordinary speedup. There's actually a great answer further down the page that details this and was great as I wasn't aware of how it worked: http://stackoverflow.

It sounds to me like it acts as a filter for people who can't take a joke.

Fair enough. Perhaps, the second option I proposed might work. The value of a Coursera certificate will not be reduced if it continues to be only a tiny minority who cheats. I suppose I've always been of the opinion that they should offer t

I would not list it under "Education" alongside a formal degree. However, I might mention it in a cover letter to demonstrate passion and internal motivation for a given subject. While I'm quick to condemn certification, I can see the other

I'm of the opinion that the value of Coursera's courses comes from the learning opportunity, not the certification. I think they should simply allow cheating and not issue certificates. Alternatively, allow cheating and continue to issue ce

I don't think we're in disagreement. The market maker wins, the exchange wins and the bid-ask spread is made smaller.

Many exchanges want high frequency traders as market makers and pay them rebates for completed trades. High frequency trading is not inherently "bad". It's encouraged and desired by many exchanges.
738.
by Permit 14y ago
First of all, you haven't yet told me why high frequency trading is driving up data costs. Secondly, if $100/month is stopping your business from being profitable, that's a fault with your business model, nothing more. It would cost more to

Perhaps you can claim fair use if you're critiquing and understanding the work rather than just pasting it? A quick search turned up no legal troubles for Rap Genius thus far. They do have an email address for DMCA takedowns, however.

Haha, wow. That's an incredibly novel approach. I won't be surprised if many here oppose it as it strips revenue from deserving websites and redirects it to Dotcom. Is it any worse than AdBlock, though?

I've had a lot of problems with Yahoo not having complete historical data, especially on thinly traded or OTC stocks. I wouldn't recommend using their data in a production application.
