An exchange doesn't have liquidity, it's merely providing a matching engine/order book for outside traders to post orders.

Just because you, personally, aren't able to see the benefits of being white/male doesn't mean it's not there. I was getting paid half a million right out of college and the fact that I was a white middle-class male abso

What you said doesn't contradict what he was saying. It's certainly possible that the most amazing country in the world also slaughters innocents in the Middle East and Africa.

What? Does anyone choose the first option over the second one? The second one seems unequivocally better.

Seriously, this bug has been around for years and people have constantly complained about it. The only reason they would have for not having fixed it at this point is they simply do not care .

That doesn't explain how it would help alleviate the tax burden. I would also quit my job if I had a basic income, but my own ideas/interests would not generate me any money so I would definitely go from someone supporting the sys

Well, yes, it is an english speaking website, so I imagine the colloquial usage of 'ramen' probably refers to whatever the colloquial US usage of 'ramen' is.

If you only ate wonderbread for all 2k calories of the day, it would mess up your health -- just as eating $0.125 packets of ramen would mess up your health if that was all you ate.

The set of irrational numbers which can be defined algorithmically are programable, eg. they are defined by a program of finite length.

CQS/UQDF is standard as a failover feed for HFT firms, at least ones I've worked at. You're right about how Reg NMS works for IOC's. For DAY orders, you must clear all shares at all prices equal to or better than X (in y

My father was the grand-grad student of Kolmogorov. He (Kolmogorov) is a very impressive mathematician. My father's advisor, Yakov Sinai, is equally impressive and arguably one of the founders of Dynamical Systems, a very interesting s

For more clarification: Reg NMS is a regulation specifying that, if you want to buy a stock at price X, you must buy all shares available on all open markets (13 of them at the moment) at all prices better than X (and similarly for selling)

How many are there? AFAIK the last technical issue was a NASDAQ break during the FB IPO, which was a little over a year ago. One severe error per year is not a lot, I think.

AFAIK Google paid 85k annualized. Have they increased it?

What places don't pay their interns? The quant/algo funds I and my friends interned at all paid 80-100k annualized, and every single person I knew that went into an internship at a big bank got paid 70-80k annualized.

What banks don't pay their interns? By any metric big banks/high finance pay better than tech companies, for interns or salaried. I didn't know anyone who went through finance internships that wasn't paid comfortably.

My name is entirely unique, I've never found a reference to anyone else but myself when I google my own name. Thankfully, the references are relatively good/professional, but it's still a bit disconcerting.

I agree, I spent over a year posting regularly (1-2 times a week) on an account that was hellbanned before I finally found out nobody could see my posts. It also bothers me that downvoted posts have lighter/more transparent text. It ma

Is there the same sort of binge drinking culture there as in the US, though? Anecdotally, more than half my friends in college would get blackout every single Friday and Saturday (in addition to 4-5 drinks during each weekday) -- it was sev

Agreed, I'm the same way, I probably haven't clicked an article on HN in weeks, I usually just read the comment sections of articles that have interesting titles.

>here's no good reason to make a transaction that small on the blockchain. You don't have the right to say that, it should be my right to decide whether my transaction size is appropriate or not. This sounds like regulation to me.

I don't. Pictures are very appealing and easy to digest, I'd rather they be more clear with visual media than with the article itself.

Funny, I have the opposite opinion. Without a bonus, it just seems like "this is the work you need to do, and no reason to make any effort to do more". With bonuses that scale with your contribution, I have far more incentive to put in effo
