They were all done while there was a bunch of armed men in control of the exchange, I don't think there would be any doubt at all that any trades made within that time frame would be considered suspicious and not honoured. It would be unlik

They can be reversed in real life as well - it happens on occasion. In the case of the film, it would be exceptionally unlikely that the trades would be honoured anyway.

For the tl;dr - Some hyperbole plus proof that the author doesn't understand very much about how an exchange such the NYSE or LSE works, how the financial system around them works or physical security and thus he comes the conclusion that i

Or get a Gen 1 or Gen 2 AppleTV, both of which are (very) easily rootable and can run XMBC smoothly and cost less than half the price of the Android tablets I've seen.

It's not too uncommon, I think, that the first two years of a PhD program award you a masters and then another two years (on average) to get your PhD. IIRC, there are a few types of Masters like an MPhil which are pretty much labels that yo

I can only tell you my experiences which might or might not be relevant since restaurant culture in the UK and the US is quite different to begin with. In the UK there isn't so much the mid range large chain restaurants outside of a couple

I think that there's two things that the restaurants hate - 1) It costs them money which eats into their already thin profit margin. 2) It makes it harder to build a relationship with the customers since the customer has to opt-in to giving

We clearly disagree on a fairly basic level. I'm very much of the opinion that anything which causes peace of mind is good thing and teaches the parents that their fears aren't grounded in reality. I'd say that most the fears that new paren

There's a bit difference between building a business that preys on the fears of a new parent and a business that acknowledges that new parents already have fears and tries to reduce them. This I would say falls firmly into the later categor

If they're using pictures that you took, and thus have the copyright to, then you'd presumably have grounds for a DMCA takedown request to their hosts.

It wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine that it's simply because Apple knows that some of the patents involved are ones which cover areas they're working in and so by being part of the consortium that owns them they're covering themselves

Oh for sure, good for Facebook as well. Post-IPO Facebook doesn't really care so much what their valuation is - they've got the cash, they've got a profitable business.

On a day where a company has IPOed, for it to be close to the IPO price on the close is a comparative failure. When you float a company your underwriters will generally float at a price which is slightly under what's perceived to be the tru

Moving parameters somewhere else doesn't change the problem at all, only moves it to a different file. Altering a parameter that effects a large chunk of the system still needs the exact same amount of testing to be done, all you save is a

That's likely because salaries are also linked to how much everyone else in a company is making as well so it's hard for someone to be paid a lot more than other people at the same level in a company. Contractors can be budgeted differently

From what I've seen, I think that's possibly a touch low for experienced contractors. At least in the financial world, the £500pd upwards mark seems to be quite common - which is around £115k GBP/$185k USD assuming 11 months work a year (50

Both the banality and the salary differ to a fairly large extent depending on where in the financial world you are, or what area of a bank you're in. I'll start by acknowledging that I've got biases since I've spent my career in finance, so

You'd have to point me at something that would suggest it was said in jest then, since I don't see anything that would support that assertion. Frankly, there's a reason why I used the word 'appreciate' rather than 'respect' and that's becau

As much as I appreciate all that Stallman's done over the years (though I don't always agree with him), that just strikes me as a remarkably dickish comment to make. To my mind, 20 minutes is hardly an unreasonable delay when you're not an

Very true. A standard Barclays business account (or at least my one) come with a transfer limit of £250,000.

In practical terms, little to no money is likely made from that float - it's more than likely that any money they could make, would be offset by the losses from chargebacks/fraud/mistakes and the operational risk costs of the transactions (

In terms of Viridian vs. ACH? Mostly I'd consider it to be relevant just because Viridian's net assets are roughly equal to 25 minutes of ACH's transaction volume. On that basis I'd say that if they're backing a company that's trying to dis

by elemeno 14y ago
Viridian might be large for a credit union, but with only $1.4 billion in assets (according to wiki) it's really not very big compared to many of the banks and companies that use ACH. In 2011 alone, $33.1 trillion was processed by ACH in 20

Frankly, your comment bewilders me. Sure, you might not be able to replicate KMP in the middle of an interview if you didn't already know it, but I'd certainly expect any competent programmer to be able to come up with some form of solution
