I completely agree that liquidity is first and foremost, and that in today's market structure HFT drives a lot of it. Retail enjoys a lot of the benefit, because trades in the $1,000s - $100,000s range probably aren't enough to sl

The short answer is that we didn't find enough; we were perpetually understaffed. However: most of that was just because of industry-wide talent shortage in information security. Generally, you fill in the void with people who recently

I worked in a company like that. Everyone was ranked against their peers, and if you were below ~40% more than two years in a row, you were "counseled out." I didn't find it stressful. Partly because I was never in danger, an

I'd recommend experimenting with some different meditation techniques. If you practice meditation, you'll sometimes find yourself actively try to NOT fall asleep! Look up the "body scan" method (it involves resting your

First off, congrats on generating that level of interest! The valuation of your company is going to take into account how much has been invested so far and potential for future growth (among other things). Since it sounds like you haven&#x2

Maybe this could be used for something like clinical quality analytics. There is an industry of data-driven optimization on dimensions like diagnoses, treatments, outcomes, populations/demographics. A big challenge with this is that th

The centralized grid is going to stay regardless of how many homeowners buy powerwalls; only so much can be buffered on the consumption side. Because another thing this article doesn't address is the fact residential power use occupies

Storing secrets is fundamentally imperfect ("it's not a secret if someone [or something] else knows it"). This article calls for aid in the form of standards other than PCI-DSS, and those standards do actually exist. NIST 800

A lot of people are commenting about Facebook being "yet another entrant" into the wallet & payment game. I'd enjoy the ease and simplicity of having everyone on a single payment platform as much as the next guy, but it&#
