Why on earth would you link your work and private accounts? This should be titled 'How many clicks does it take assuming you use gmail and you use google apps at work and you link your accounts together.

I understand, but that post was written as though you were running an exclusive nightclub, not a startup. Surely if the product really is as good as what came across to me as arrogance suggests, the buzz will happen organically, no?

Interesting and undeniably clever. However given you're looking for so many people you sure make it sound like you're doing me a favour whereas I see it as doing you a favour. Given I know nothing about your product, or how good it is,

No, but the recent spate of apps that take user experience when accessing third party content very seriously shows how utterly painful most of the normal web is. I think with first-party content providers it's also that if they're getting p

You clearly haven't worked in finance. The traders get a percentage cut, as do the quants, it's only reasonable the hackers started asking where their cut was. However they are conflating programmers and quants here, the guy who puts togeth

No major ones. Until something goes wrong and every deliberation and discussion about how to respond is dissected and quoted without context in public. I mean are you going to do everything in public? Hiring and firing decisions? Whether to

Wow. I'm not sure whether that's brilliant or insane but I wish you the best and will watch with interest.

It's awesome to see a startup developing some genuinely new interesting tech rather than yet another project management or GTD app on $framework. Really neat stuff!

I hope dearly that whoever wrote that graphing method isn't allowed anywhere near a system that handles actual money.

And this comes about 2 months after it's declared a national security threat by the Pentagon. How strange.

I cannot speak for anyone else but I do not understand what doing so gives the website or Facebook access to, nor would I trust either party to change without notice that even if I was aware.

Just because it's only presentation doesn't mean it's not bloat. Assuming this is a rendered JSON object that's still a ton of extra HTML elements and CSS to render/instantiate than should be necessary to produce the same effect and while t

I note the generally less controversial Stephen Fry is complaining about unrelated Trending Topic oddness this morning, looks like they've screwed up their system somehow and the #flotilla thing is a coincidence. http://twitter.com/stephen

That you consider trust a genetic weakness is more than a little sad. There will be problems but there have already been fantastic projects that wouldn't have happened any other way.

I think the key points here - that it won't get critical mass and that people aren't going to host their own are both demonstrably solvable. Hosting: there will be an open market for people to set up hosted seeds of every level and flavour

It's worse than even that. Because top-tier hedge funds and investment banks can afford the genuinely insane fees to put their gear as physically close to the exchange as possible they can effectively front-run everyone else including other

There is a fundamental misunderstanding of design at play here though. We're talking about a culture that doesn't understand that when it comes to design, 1+1 should equal 3 or more. You cannot separate out individual elements and A/B them

Neat tech, terrible interface - utterly pointless. Flat graphs, which are configured to show outliers/only problematic nodes would provide a far more efficient interface to someone trying to work out where the bottlenecks and issues are. Sh

It's a decent platform but it's an attempt to address a lot of different issues in one platform. If you're pure quant you're probably better off building something custom and plugging in QuickFIX (which marketcetera uses for FIX connectivit
