Isn't that just the default dock? i.e. in the screenshot the guy has just created a new account for himself, and is deleting the original owner's account?

you should NEVER rely on ANY API Well that's a bit extreme, a better approach would be to acknowledge that your reliance on an external API is a risk that you're taking in order to save the development costs of DIY. If it's crit

Had a year off traveling. First lot of interviews after that, everyone was very suspicious - e.g. wondering if the plan was to work for a few months then take off again. Fast forward two years when interviewing again everyone thought it

You're assuming that there are enough buyers at $80 to take 100% of the offered stock.

I assume any kind of OS or HLL is out of the question. Not really, computers are fast! Per message costs of a few microseconds are pretty standard even in Java/C# stuff.

Google's main problems are not in hiring more people There's also some incentive for them to get good people before the competition does. It's not like they can't afford the salaries.

Dividends are basically saying "we're returning earnings because you can probably invest them better than we can". It's up to the investor balance their portfolio and decide how much money they have invested in the company, dividends are s

A big name company with a good reputation at the start of your career is a good social proof, since you would have beaten a lot of people to the role, and have been exposed to a successful way of doing things. Other things are important too

You're confusing retail and investment banking.

Seeing as the word "latency" doesn't make an appearance anywhere on the page, I'm assuming anyone doing audio work will still benefit from a decent card. (Why? Because when you hit a key on your midi keyboard/drums, and want it to be like p

If your product integrates with existing systems in any way, or even is still just a fairly minimal product, this doesn't really apply. You can have clients who are willing to pay for example for reports your product generates, but it's us

If you know that's on the cards when hiring, then I'm sure it's a filter you might not use otherwise, i.e. can I handle having this person at the lunch table every day.

For a non-pro setup you're going to be accepting significant scope limitations in production - you're not going to be scanning the full real time feed across the whole market. Without colocation HFT isn't really an option either. So you c

Anyone can participate in open source. That's not correct - plenty of employment contracts lay claim to any contributions, which means the projects can't accept them.

So the purchase price is 50k, but presumably the fuel and maintenance costs are significant? If you actually want to fly the thing I'm guessing your outlay is going to be more than $10?
