color me unimpressed that they're now able to sort their livecrawl with a 'date' flag. And this seems to simply be a case of firing that filter automatically for 35% of their searches.

yes and sophisticated HFT systems screw large funds from moving into and out of positions with relative ease/fairness. This cuts both ways, thus pros and cons. At least with a specialist, everyone was relatively even in that regard. Now,

I disagree with your second point. I think that making banks which do more than lending money to businesses/individuals into partnerships will do a lot of good. They won't stiff the US tax-payer with the bill by saying that they are too b

When people bring up this argument, I feel like I'm screaming in a room full of people and everyone is ignoring me. You cannot make it easy for people and corporations to be interchangeable and then have differing tax rates for each. They M

You cannot replace a corporate tax with a personal tax, all persons will simply become corporations.

Instituting #3 will lower liquidity. I think the trade-off is worth it. This is a topic where the critics, who argue in favor of the status quo are at an advantage, because the realities of HFT are not easily discernable to the layman, and

This is really cool. I have often toyed, as a hacker that is, with making a website that tracks all the campaign contributions of every local, state, and federal candidate/delegate. The information is out there. Unfortunately, I haven't

The point of the tax is not to regulate the derivatives market. There are valid reasons for derivatives, and arbitrarily imposing a reserve requirement on a class of instruments that is ever changing and by definition, represents different

Five points for the OWS guys. 1. Transparency. We need to see where every dollar of the US federal gov't is spent. It needs to be on the internet, and it needs to be easily accessable. An exception can be made for classified spending in

I agree with the basic tenants of this article. Yes it was true, that k&t were moving the model into the 'economic sphere'. But I think you cannot overstate the importance of this. Behavioral finance/economics coming back into cog. p

It is also true that air-gapped systems do a lot more checking on the way in, then they do on the way out.

This is a very cool concept. I think it would be more realistic for the robots to communicate via some rf technology, as opposed to sound though. Communicating in sound requires a whole apparatus that is neither as efficient or fast as man

What is it 2007? An interesting article would draw the comparison between the three waves of filesystem access (command line, desktop, and no-filesystem filesystem) and search. Then we might get an interesting discussion about how search

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I don't know if I agree with the other commenter about interspersed skip alls. For me, scrolling past seems less final then hitting skip. If I hit skip, I was afraid that a negative mark would be given

Or we could simply start treating consumers like Adults. I would prefer the honest truth even if I didn't like it, to a lie that defers my emotions onto unrelated targets.

I think you are mistaking how to integrate the social graph into search. You don't do it by exclusively searching within the social graph, you use the social graph to augment your traditional search. The best way for me to show you what I

Index technology is very well-known and pretty straightforward. You crawl the web. The quality of your search results are a function of your algorithm, and the depth/breadth of your index (created by this crawling). Blekko is attempting t

MS can't/doesn't need to acquire facebook. they have a large stake in the company due to their early stage $270m investment. Facebook is too expensive at this point for MS to buy.

I understand fully his motives, drum up support and excitement about his IPO, but no matter how hard he tries, he does not have Jobs charisma or skill. He should start getting it by reading Nancy Duarte's books on presentations.
