Thanks for the link to nycopendata. There is a plethora of interesting NYC geospatial data there that I was unaware of.

Isn't building footprint included in the PLUTO corpus? Does nycopendata provide better building outlines?

Nice. Are you doing this the same way they did The Netherlands? I know I threw out the suggestions when I saw the Netherlands map that this could easily be done with PLUTO. Thanks for the great work. I can see my Apartment building was buil

You could easily make a similar looking map with the NYC Pluto data. http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/bytes/applbyte.shtml

The title from Bloomberg is misleading and the others here are correct to say that this is more a history of Electronic Clearing. That said, Electronic Clearing does allows for increased automated interaction with the exchange spinning off

It here is some speculation about said inside information. I emphasize speculation. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-08-23/call-it-ballmer-gam...

That said, I am one to believe that news always leaks at least to small indirect parties. It's not in those parties interest to spread the news or bet big enough to attract attention. It happens though.

It's a strong assertion to say that it edged up based on news possibly getting out. After the NASDAQ halt yesterday the NASDAQ composite as a whole edged up. MSFT's movement looks correlated to this broader move. https:/&#x2

A segment about the Hyperloop was actually on the NBC nightly news. I think Musk is becoming a household name.

Talk about a let down. The original plan looks like a Light Rail system on par with New York or London.

I have had a theory that most traditional matching engines can get away with lower latencies because they can multicast their marketdata. It seems like sending out all marketdata events to each connected user over a tcp connection is bound

I thought there might be something more insightful than this within the article. It's probably just because I happen to work in a field (HFT) that obsesses over memory access patterns. Cache hits are your best friend and they seem to b

I disagree with the premise that the new iOS design is that similar to Windows Phone 7. Yeah it's "flat" and no longer skeuomorphic, but it doesn't remind me of the experience of Windows Phone 7. I don't disagree wi

Oh god, someone please agree with me that it's the Safari icon!? Big fan of the new interface but I want to flush that safari icon down the toilet.

The NSA are not elected officials. They are appointed individuals. And they really don't need to report or justify anything they do.

Who is to decide what is in the "interest" of your family and people's safety? This is subjective and cedes power to whoever is in control of the surveillance mechanism. The surveyor may have motives that are not as benevolen

Don't they only need to make one really good printer that can print other printers? That should bring margins down. Seriously though, as someone very interested in 3D printing this is awfully tempting to back. The best option for me though

This is still less than optimal. Just give the desktop users what they want. To me Windows 8 is a half baked attempt at striking a balance between desktop users and tablet users. Combining these interfaces is not going to work well no matte

Nice to see a strong endorsement of Tor. I imagine it will help The New Yorker attract new sources for their stories.

To get the perspective of different participants in the market watch this video from The Milken Institute featuring Bart Chilton (regulator), Terry Duffy (exchange), Jamil Nazarali (retail execution), and Lou Salkind (proprietary trading).

That's pretty cool. Too bad they'll probably have timeouts when they can't connect to Mt Gox like everyone else.

That makes very little sense. You know why, because you are taking a base-16 system and trying to make it work with a base-10 way of saying numbers. The best way to read hex is by reading the letters and numbers in order without any added c

That sounds like Market Manipulation. What made you think that is OK? You can't shout fire in a movie theater (a considerably less regulated environment), what made you think shouting fire in the stock exchange was OK?

You are running for comptroller of Philadelphia? Best of luck to you. It seems like you have the smarts to get noticed for your merit.

"as markets become more efficient trading opportunities, as you point out, vanish. So smaller amounts of arbitrage need to be leveraged with larger amounts of cash to get the same return." This is contradictory. If there is only one offer o
