You should read the paper, they go through that in great detail. I'm not an expert but their clocks are being synchronized via two methods (GPS and fiber-optic connect) independently. They're pretty sure the timing is correct down to 1 nano

So we're left with what, GPS errors? I've gone through their experimental setup and the timing looks foolproof. The only options left in my mind are 1) The distance between the labs is smaller than they think 2) Tachyonic neutrinos (not lik

In his position I might stick with a higher price. I'll sell fewer units meaning there's not as many clients to support while making the same revenue.

That's where we're headed. Soon these devices will be so cheap that they CAN track everyone. And if they don't require warrants, why wouldn't they?

No see my point is that there is ALWAYS someone above the 'IT boffins' that can force changes in policy like that. You don't fight with the 'IT boffins', you go right to the top. If the CIO or CEO or board of directors decide to use your so

I like it! The fixed-width column format ( http://canv.as uses it too) works really well for small chunks of random content.

I'm so glad I've never had a client like that here in Australia. Everyone seems to be OK with the idea of running multiple browsers. We do have clients that use IE6 but we've always managed to convince them to install Chrome or Firefox on t

> 1. writing locks the database. By database I mean the ENTIRE mongodb instance. That's the showstopper for me. Frankly I'm surprised so many people manage to find uses for Mongo with this restriction.

A better solution would be to reduce the granularity of trades to, for example, 1 second. Nobody needs to trade faster than that. If all trades are executed in a random order every 1 second rather than the current 'fastest fingers first' no

Is anyone here paying for the Enterprise level Riak? I'd love to hear how they charge and whether you think it's worth it. Currently we're looking towards the Denali release later this year but Riak is looking more interesting by the day.
