Something that most people will miss in this article is the acquisition of Trayport by ICE. Trayport is a UK based software company which provides the technological trading backbone for the European OTC Natural Gas and Power markets as well

Thanks for sharing - reading this reminds me a lot of what a scrum master does (or at least should do) for a team of developers. I've experienced first hand what it's like to work for someone you could call a "servant leader&

That was fun - almost $32,000,000 from the first run. Made a killing on DELL (260.9% vs -61.1%). If you keep playing, it's the same stocks again and again - would be even more fun if there was some pseudo real time/more recent cha

Can add anecdotal evidence that people are afraid of changing a company's billing system as it may result in bills being generated that are significantly different as to either raise client or internal concerns, so best to leave it alo

What people call being "in the zone" or "flow" is a generally interesting state of being. Everyone experiences this oneness multiple times in their lives, usually without realising it. Sportsmen and people who have highl

I find this topic very interesting and something that comes pretty close to home. I come from an eastern-block immigrant background where capitalism and individualism, ideas that allowed the west to rapidly develop and innovate, were active

I'm working on something exactly like this at the moment (not US) - it's super exciting to see people make use of the data available to them. Kudos :)

Market makers are not charities, they're there to provide a baseline for markets that don't have that many orders available (liquidity). This liquidity allows people to enter and exit positions more readily, encouraging real entra

I'm not sure I understand Ferguson's rant. He seems to be focused on the video author not knowing how to do PR right and claiming that he didn't do any testing then saying that Facebook needs to do some cleanup. The video its

I feel for the guy. He made something a while ago, put on the market without much fanfare and then out of the blue his game suddenly shot to the top and raked in 50 million downloads. If you're not expecting it and you don't have

Sad state of affairs in gaming. My memories of a number of high profile "pro-gaming" organisations is almost entirely tainted by broken promises of paying out prize money to the winners of their competitions (delays, partial payou

This is very interesting. Makes me imagine that there might be even higher levels of control/abstraction over the top of this.

Addictive. Contrary to munificent, I think it's great that the game punishes you for mistakes so completely. The feel of the game makes me think of a mix between Super Hexagon (www.superhexagon.com) and Temple Run (or any other generic

I love hearing about new findings like this. Blows my mind how much there is to learn/discover every single time something like this comes out.

--- SPOILER ALERT --- Really enjoyed the game the whole way through, but I agree with other people on this thread, the ending (or lack of) kinda ripped my heart out. Glad I took some screenshots before flying off into space. http:/&#x

Agreed - saw this happen on a boat. People were diving from the boat into the sea. One fairly large guy who couldn't swim decided it looked like fun and followed suit. At first no one realised how bad the situation was, with the next p

Ditto. I remember my drowning in a swimming pool very vividly. I was around 9 at the time, couldn't swim and was sitting on one of those foam floats. A friend of mine (he didn't know about my lack of swimming ability) pushed me of
