If there were decent algorithms that third parties could dig into, then the opportunity would go away.

If you don't have $10,000 to risk, you probably shouldn't attempt to trade in an automated fashion. You need enough capital, because any one trade is likely to have a small percentage upside and you need to turn it over frequentl

A bedroom may be required to have a window (and a closet), but an office, dining room, or "bonus" room doesn't. Thus you have apartments or houses, where people sleep in offices, dining rooms, etc. Legislating this just cau

You can actually be incredibly productive when working a 60 hour work week, and I used to do it regularly. When I was doing it at a large company, there was little reward for it, but I did learn a lot and was able to turn that into a bette

My expectations for service with a $70 meal are much different than a $7 meal; so having a different tip makes sense.

The most common buttons are already on the steering wheel, not the touch screen, so I really see limited functions that this can manage. The big problem I see is that there is a lot of nuance to using this, and it will take a while to get

One of the nice features of the Settler of Catan assistant for the iPhone is that it will roll the dice for you, and it keeps a chart of the results. Thus one has data to back up the complaint that "Your 3 is out producing my 6!"

To make it even better, you can declare classes that are exactly the size of your primitive type, and do things like endianness conversion for you. I will often even make functions that convert, e.g., a bid into a specific price type. Hav

It isn't even just "indie" ISPs who do it. Cablevision's Optimum Online, which is probably the biggest internet provider on Long Island and Westchester has a peering relationship with Netflix, and lands at #2 on the spe

I think you need to go for just problem solving, not for programming. A shape sorter might be OK. Fisher Price made a remote control car that was very good for kids called a Bounce Back Racer. It was tough, so you didn't need to wor

I think Duplo should be safe for all kids, just not very interesting when they are too young. They used to have an actual Lego-made product Quatro for a short period, but no longer. Megabloks are the next best thing, they are bigger and ha

You should be able to type "2/16" in the expiration, but instead when you try, you end up with "21 / 6". I'm still amazed at how sites that can't handle spaces or dashes in the card number or want it

If you don't graduate you don't have the brand. He might be able to establish an independent brand with his plugin, but that is certainly more risky. I generally don't think the Ivy league tuition compared to the differentia

The meaningful difference is that you have 7 semesters of sunk cost, and can't write that you graduated on your resume. In other words, you are a drop-out. A BS is a filter that you'll find for lots of jobs (or graduate school);

If you're rental hunting, you might look at 10 rentals, because you probably have a fixed amount of time (the end of your current lease). If you're hunting to buy, you can take pretty much all the time in the world until you find

The generators have a lot more value to being in stock before or during the storm than after. When I bought mine, I had to drive two hours away to a Lowes, because they were out of stock in my county. If the local Home Depot had one, I wo

My ConEd bill is broken up into delivery and generation charges. I think it is fair for you to be able to sell power back to the grid, but either at the whole sale generation cost; or alternatively the generation cost less the delivery cos

At least recently, new cars loan often have interest in the range of <3%. I have one car loan at 0.9%; and my last two before that were at 1.9% and 3.9%. But I think most importantly, a mutual fund is much more liquid than a car (or a h

It is nice to lie down on the beds and get a sense of what you want. We went to a store for our son's mattress, but when it was time for our daughter to move out of the crib I made phone calls to a couple of big mattress suppliers. T

I used to use the Microsoft Natural keyboard Elite, from probably around 1998 until late 2011, when the one I had at work broke and I couldn't find a suitable replacement. I tried one of the other Microsoft ergonomic keyboards, and fo
