Yeah, we have a concept in common law called legitimate expectation that is quite similar to the point you're getting at. Don't know about the U.S. Having recently been on the right side of a judicial challenge, I must say that in

Safari autocomplete on macOS is such a mess. Ever since I switched to DuckDuckGo, I have to give it about two seconds between when I type a word and when I can arrow down into the suggested pages and click enter. Otherwise, when the suggest

Excuse my naïveté, but I’d love to know what kind of feeds you connect to to pull in 40gbps of financial data. Are these basically feeds of all available securities trading everywhere in the world? Background is that I did some work connect

Not sure if I’m missing a joke somewhere, but “0xF” is 50% longer (by number of chars) than “15”...no?

If you have access to a trading platform (try one of the crypto exchanges, they usually have free data), you can try and watch an order book for a few minutes. It’s quite intuitive. Investopedia and Wikipedia can explain the different order

I used to work at a non-US exchange, and I can tell you that the exact answer to your question must be in that particular exchange’s rules, or in the SEC filings somewhere. In my market, the “auction” was just a period where the answer to t

In my part of the world, tell your broker that you’ve done a deal with someone, tell that someone to tell their broker that they done a deal with you. The brokers should be able to report it to the exchange for publishing. Then they should

Funnily enough, my last team worked with a software supplier from the UK, and I’m 99.99% sure the above text was copy-pasted from an email reply to one of my overzealous team members. We thought it was over the top, but chalked it down to B

It should be a choice between spending pre tax dollars or spending post tax dollars. I doubt many would argue in favor of “burning” money just for the sake of not paying some fraction tax on it. Imagine that you must access $100 of labour&#

I’ve read your other comments in this thread and I mostly follow and agree. I’m getting lost on this one though. How does this monopoly(?) on the 500 work? Aren’t I able to go out tomorrow and buy the different input securities of an index,

I think the comment is referring to the canonical list of the constituent securities of an index such as the S&P 500 or DJIA. You pay license fees to S&P to name any fund you create “S&P XYZ Fund”. I suspect you could legally c

(Ugandan) I think it’s legal gymnastics. Firstly, this “tax” is officially excise duty on OTT services. Data & voice already attract (heavy) excise duty. So if they tacked it onto your phone bill, it would walk and quack like a hike in

So the government decided that it was a good idea to tax OTT services, defined as: The transmission or receipt of voice messages over the internet protocol network and includes access to virtual private networks but does not include educati

I see it in the sense that if the target for both compilers is to produce a correct program, then that target is much easier to achieve with more information (and less assumptions) passed in the source code by the programmer (ie Swift).

I wouldn’t say it’s more native, however, NativeScript gives you access to the entire API space of the target platform in JavaScript versus React Native which doesn’t. What this means is that if something doesn’t exist in NS land, you can o

Just as a side note; A bookmaker isn't actually your adversary in the way you mean it here. A bookmaker (as defined) in a normal? environment shouldn't care for a particular result in a gamble. All they care for is the profit they
