I hate people that agree to one thing and then do another if it isn't what they want later on. "Yeah, I hired him to shovel my driveway. He said he invented a new shovel called "The Shovel" and needed money to sell it. I invested with hi

Stay away from HFT, big players will eat your lunch. HFT isn't even a game of milliseconds anymore, it's a game of microseconds. You can still do well with algorithmic trading where speed of execution isn't an issue. Work on your strateg

It seems sad to own a second home and not share it with your friends. The thing that makes me the happiest is hanging with my oldest and dearest friends. That often happens at one of our parents second homes (I don't have one), so maybe t

Moving to New York with my wife and two-year old. We've always wanted to experience the city and it's a major change from where we are now (Maine, 15 minute bike to work along the ocean). It scares the crap out of me but it's important to

My daughter is almost two and has been using the potty in certain circumstances for 4-5 months. Someone bought her a potty for Christmas and we just left it out until she discovered it, showed her how to use it, and praised the hell out of

In general terms, you may need less sleep when you are healthy and fit, but if you are doing 2.5 hour runs you really should be getting extra sleep. Distance running takes a huge toll on your body and you need to do everything you can to

If these guys have the proven ability to modify user records, could you use that as a defense in court? What's to say I didn't create an account, never downloaded anything, and someone else modified my account to say I did?

It's own resources and bandwidth being a public facing RSS feed. A public data feed! If they don't want people to use their data feeds to, oh, I don't know, get data, then maybe something else is up. They are digging deep to find excuses

I'm going to be working remotely for the next year. I currently go into the office in the morning and work from home in the afternoon. A couple weeks ago I asked my manager if I could work from New York for a year and he said sure. I've

I need some quick cash, so I'm thinking of taking area restaurant menus and creating a quick iphone web version for each one, then walking in to the restaurant, showing it to a manager, and asking if they want to pay a couple hundred bucks

A friend of mine did that in california for a few years. He was completely legit, rented a warehouse, payroll, taxes, etc. It's a bit too counter-cultural for me (although I don't have a problem with it) but he was good at it.

Thanks for the info. The BLS paper is useful, but I have to question anything from Heritage. To grossly paraphrase Groucho Marx, "I don't want to be a member of a club that counts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as members."

Do you have data to support the statement that 80% of poor people don't work? How do you define poor? How do you define middle class? I have a hard time believing someone poor enough to receive food stamps for example is living a life an

I can understand protesting against fundamentalists of any type. I was initially concerned this would offend and alienate moderate Muslims. But I have to wonder, would I be offended if someone protested extreme Christians that blow up abor

I love this bit: “Dad, there are poopy turds on the floor,” my daughter said. “I know, I’ll clean them in the morning.” “Dad, there are poopy turds on the floor.” “I’ll go clean them,” I said. it reminds me of the Louis Kahn quote: “And if

Enron did something like that IIRC. It may have even been based on peer reviews.

When I worked at an HFT shop broken trades were the bain of our existence. We had parameters to screen for trades that would probably be broken, but sometimes they would be broken outside of those. The way it works is either party to a tr

The parents of my college roommate didn't have hot water. They lived in a fairly well-off Connecticut town next door to an ESPN anchor, so money wasn't the issue it was just a personal choice. Showers were a love/hate thing for sure and I

I love that you referred to one of the most famous critics of our time as "this guy". The internet has enabled so many people to voice their opinions, that well known folk sometimes become just another guy.

I'd guess the latter as DST doesn't seem to be dumb. They are heavily invested in Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and others. DST investors include Goldman Sachs and Tencent. They have been doing a lot of deals lately partly because they offer

Almost everyone that picks up my kindle for the first time touches the screen before anything else. When I say it isn't touch screen they just kind of shrug and mumble.
