Are you kidding?? :) The two John' starting out as friends. Chaos Romero vs order Carmar. The rise of a small indie developer to super stardom. The ensuing split with Romero going full hubris with Ion Storm (Heck with the amount of dr

Wait I'm confused, does he own the beach or just the gate which accesses the beach? And why is he responsible and needs to be insured for people using the beach, or maintain it? It feels like either you own the beach and can do whatev

Yeah, I think Chrome is the browser to beat right now... but does most people really use the sync feature? I might be wrong but my guess would be no, and that's true for a lot of the other "additional value" features that bro

It feels like browsers in general has become to commoditized for people to even bother. How much does it really matter these days if you use chrome, firefox,opera etc. It used to be that it DID matter that you used IE because they were so h

I dunno, I get the feeling that time is running out for Yahoo and they're looking for an exit. It might be little more expensive but I don't think it'll be by that much

My bet is that Microsoft will buy them to bolster their ecosystem (second time's a charm), and Yahoo's strategy is still angling to get bought, the question is just price. Personally I have a problem seeing much value in Yahoo exc

Another key to Last week tonight, besides its length, is also that its not on cable and doesn't have advertisers. I can hurl as much vitrol on specific companies as they possible can without getting sued... The GM ad was so great: htt

I've been to Koh lanta as well, mostly at Klong Nin beach which is a bit more off than the rest of the island but nice enough. Really liked the chill vibe of the island compare to some of the other places. Don't forget to check o

are immunity deals really that stupidly phrased? I'd guess the standard boilerplate would protect against that? Then again I remember this exact scenario in an episode of The Practice ... so maybe not :)

If this theory wouldn't make a an awesome yarn for a Sorkin/Fincher movie I don't know what would. Karpeles to be played by Paul Giamatti and Ulbricht by Robert Pattinson.

If I was under that kind of threat, why not buy a cottage in some remote country, get a dog, write books and go fishing all day? I mean life is probably not like hollywood where they can find you "wherever" and as long as you sta

I can agree that Lewis was perhaps more focused on weaving a compelling story than focusing on the finer details of HFT. Nevertheless its a good primer on the subject and an interesting read. Thanks for the tip about Dark pools

If you're saying that HFT algorithms don't publish trades from a pure manipulation purpose I call BS. There are many HFT firms that been caught with their hand in the cookie jar doing just that, the problem is that they are even m

by mhomde 12y ago
The only reason why this is "illegal" and HFT is legal is that the HFT firms are paying customers of the exchange. It's really quite scary how complicit and front-runned the whole stocktrading business has become. I really re

hmm, yeah, that's a really good point. I guess this could sorta be resolved if you had non-nullable reference types. You get the feeling though many of these problems comes down to null's largely being a language defect in itself

I don't think you should involve nullables ,the compiler would simply rewrite to check if link in the chain is null and then assign to null. But value types are a good point, either it could then set it to default(T) or not set it at a

One thing about the null checking stuff that I started thinking about... wouldn't it be more cleaner and less error prone if accessing subproperties of null classes always returned null instead of an exception? ie: var someVar = class1
