They could add several seconds of latency by default and sell high speed premium to trading bots. Humans don't care about a few seconds.

I thought for a while, before Trump came on the scene that, of the developed countries, it would likely be the US that would fall for an authoritarian just because they have never dealt with one and are complacent about it happening there.

I've been there. I even got a fair way into discussing starting a 'data migration' startup. Customers only care about getting their data migrated and wouldn't mind you holding the rights to the software tools you write t

C# has some advantages over JS but Xaml styles and templates are so much easier than CSS. Around 2010 when I was a WPF dev moving back to web I looked so hard for a tool that would do this. I'm guessing this renders as SVG but CSS (mai

The EU is way ahead in protecting consumers. Thankfully I am an EU citizen (for now, #Brexit) but unless other major economies follow corporations will keep trying.

I'm starting to think that the way things worked is that older people realize that the best way to get ahead is to exploit younger inexperienced workers who don't yet know their own value and power, whether it's as employees

Exactly, social and work don't mix. Most want them kept well apart. No way I'm letting FB link my work with my social lives and no way I'd trust them not to. There is always the risk of them buying LinkedIn but people aren&#x

This all comes back to the two-faced saying of one thing loud and publicly while in the small print buried in legalese proclaiming something else. That practice needs to be illegal. It is basically fraud.

Powernaps are way more effective than caffeine, I know that. I seem to be in a minority though.

The costs of running even a p2p system need to come from somewhere and you need to attract the right people (hubs in the social graph lingo). The trick is incentivizing them. There are going to be adverts somewhere but the people and conten

I can accept why they need to draw a line on naked child images and be done with it. Like most silicon valley companies they want everything automating with as little human customer service as possible. However if they aren't going to

the problem with the 'wealth' effect, or equality effect, is that the person selling the asset is likely retired or close and won't spend it and the increase in asset prices take an equal amount from the people who need to bu

In this case I'd almost certainly guess that it is through the phone number. LinkedIn is particularly creepy for this.

It should be a lot easier for everyone to collectively sue Facebook and other social networks for violation of privacy. This is just one of the economic asymmetries where small annoyances to everyone, but not enough to individually do anyth

Isn't this just a shared ledger to encourage more trust, with the other banks all keeping a copy so that if UBS say they settled with Santander but there's disagreement then they can ask the others to verify?

I've mentioned elsewhere that a profit driven media leads to sensationalism and emotion driven content over objective fact telling. That is the one thing that I can think of that is particularly American but there does still seem an in

As someone in Europe I just don't understand the level of fear among Americans who are in the safest position probably of any population ever. Is it just media bias? If I lived in eastern Europe any where near Turkey right now I'd

It's only debt if you are paying for it going forward. The thought should be "things would be easier going forward if we'd done X". If it does the job and doesn't create issues then you just purchased it without tak

Not while there is work to do. So long as there is a need for more housing, bridges to be repaired and roads to be maintained and anything else that can't be automated and can be trained for then government should employ people to do t

Yep. Dapper is far simpler. All the relationship navigation and deferred loading of related entities is clever but takes effort to optimize and is too easily abused. Every large team I've seen use it (EF) ends up with slow horrible que

Seems like they started authenticating a key (unknown6) that was previously being sent but not getting authenticated against. A lot of bot writers are trying to break that authentication. Given that people are paying others to 'walk&#x

Interesting. In the UK Java gets a slight premium and there's still the impression that .net devs are more siloed and don't keep up with things so much but that is changing. Not sure what proportion of Java devs know Scala vs .Net

There's plenty of hate for entity framework among full .Net devs too. It's one of Microsoft's quick to get started but crap to enhance and maintain tools.
