The only three events that could send bitcoin to $0 are, in my opinion, if people stop using it and decide that it's worthless, the encryption scheme or peer to peer network are some how compromised, or all nations simultaneously outla

You are absolutely correct on the price they get for them being dependent on how they are sold. The industry jargon for this is how you execute the buy or sell. One option is they could sell the bitcoins using a VWAP algorithm. http:/

Probably. To understand price changes it's important to consider how they change. Price movements occur as a result of a buyer or seller aggressing into a market and submitting an order such that the parameters of the aggressor's

Oil is a wonder molecule that is used as an input in thousands of industrial processes. Burning it to extract energy is just the use case people understand. Which is unfortunate.

This actually makes a lot of sense to me (someone from an urban area). I never understood why all these towns in the middle of nowhere USA would offer such generous subsidies but this line of reasoning perfectly justifies it. I suspect the

With regards to kernel programming, I'm reminded of the old quote from Star Trek, "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it."

You can subpoena ISP's to see who owned an address (I believe) up to 6 months back. How exactly do you think the RIAA filed so many lawsuits against internet pirates?

I'm thinking about FX where I work. If the price you get executed at is better than what you wanted your term currency amount changes. Often times what ends up happening is that some someone upstream (e.g. broker) ends up keeping the i

You're not going to be able to get away from traversing the order book for every match. Another subtle differentiating factor is the time at which the potential matches entered the order book. Obviously priority is always given to pric

They were taking unskilled jobs or jobs they were extremely overqualified for just to make ends meet is what I was trying to get across. Several of my friends parents had to do this until things got better.

It really depends on what asset class you are trading, like the author mentioned. For equities the performance demands are out of control (< 50 micros). For FX, it's still pretty tight but much more manageable.

Kernel bypass is also common. Having the OS manage your networking stack adds too much latency.

It seems like this is largely the point of a startup accelerator. In exchange for equity you get cash, advice, and introductions to investors who have connections in the relevant area.

Same here. Most of my friends that do this are either teachers or clinicians of some sort that don't want their pupils/patients finding them. This is a much simpler approach than the privacy morass Facebook has intentionally creat

I agree with what the author is saying, however, I think that the overall message of sticking with something, and not leaving when you encounter the first sign of monotony is applicable to software engineering more specifically than the aut

The waste water storage tanks at the Fukushima nuclear plant will probably still be around and contaminated 80 years from now. Although I suspect that isn't exactly what you had in mind.

Additionally not all H1B's are underpaid. I'm currently in the minority on the engineering team, being one of the few American citizens actually born in America. From discussions with my peers from India they don't make that

Exactly. The whole notion of relying on someone else's good graces to not be considered a criminal by your own government is completely absurd. Especially an individual(s) who supports whatever position they think will get them (re-)el

This is why I think Snowden is such a sharp guy, because of the fact that he has been releasing documents slowly and methodically as opposed to a mega-dump wikileaks style disclosure. The basic problem is that a large share of the American
