Very true. Case in point, Ameritrade's odd marriage with Citadel... think they might be reading the tape? https://www.tdameritrade.com/forms/AMTD2055.pdf‎

I can attest to the fact that this sort of thing can be done consistently and successfully for thousands of trades over months' time. Then you know that forex is a bank driven market; these little "statistical arbitrages" (

True. This is neither new, nor limited to Bitcoin. I got burned last year on a small sale. I did appreciate the author's "discovery" of a market mechanism... I'm going to go bid on some bitcoin now and do this arb the ri

It doesn't. I could go into a long explanation as to why, but basically it is like this: they're assholes and they interpret the law as they see fit. This is the beauty of phrases like "in the interests of national security

Sure, I'll buy that. I think it is fair to say that 99% of the problems are on the client side... at least, that is how I made my bonus ;) I always loved it when 10@100 became 100@10.

From that description, he sounds smart, but not well versed in proper protocols. Seems like there should be a way to filter such bug reports (a web form?).

I haven't been paying close attention to this, so forgive the ignorance if I'm wrong: didn't he try to use the correct channels, but was turned away?

If we all stop having children, then there will be less inspired youth willing to buy any candidate's pack of lies. And the world will be full of crotchety old bastards like myself. Yay!

I get the argument that data I store on the Cloud is open to interpretation given the 3rd party (if I give Google the right to look at my data, then it is unreasonable for me to expect privacy on par with a physical drive in my possession),

For veg, sure. I'm all for it. Great way to teach and learn, as well. For example, squirrels aren't so cute after they destroy you entire tomato crop... lil' fuckers. But grain is such a process and such an amazing supply c

No real secret that this is happening. I've heard/seen the evidence from USDA-ARS and top agronomists from industry. The reality is quite simple: our soils are going to end up looking a lot more like they did in the past (doused w

IKEA is prone to spontaneous attacks. I had a dresser collapse on my foot once. They lull you into a false sense of security with their meatballs.

On a side note to my side, how many are psyched about Breaking Bad tonight?! (seriously, downvoted for asking about stats on cryptopals? it is relevant -- #6 has two DSA questions!)

On a side note, what are the current stats for the Matasano crypto challenge? How many have finished all 6?

What is so mind boggling to me, beyond the double-speak, is how nobody on the government side acknowledges basic systematic risk. They assume their system is perfect and their people are impeccable... have they ever been the fucking post of

That is exactly the problem with these people: they refuse to acknowledge basic logic, so such a thought experiment is beyond them.

I suppose my github page is resume worthy filler, but honestly, I use it to track code for me . I use gist as a backend store for a fairly large code snippet database and my github page essentially helps me peruse that quickly. And I also
