This should certainly be interesting. Did anyone with a quant background here try the software yet? What are your thoughts? Do other similar software exist in market right now?

I didn't mean to be on the offensive side or to start an argument. I was just asking a question. Refer the author's reply. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1010388

I hope I'm not sounding offensive. But what is the author trying to prove here? It's a well known fact that majority of the people on mechanical turk come from developing / under developed countries.

Very truthful. Stop following what everyone does and create your own plan. Besides, only you really know when you do your best, and you don't have to audit 24 hours of your day. Unearned guilt is a bad thing.

@andrew1, In the first sentence I referred to the 2000-2008 hedge fund trading. The second sentence is from the article - it said high speed algorithmic trading could lead to smaller version of the 1987 crash.

The conclusion of the article: Automated Trading could be dangerous to the market as such and should be closely monitored. They appear disturbingly similar to the hedge funds of the old days. Besides, quant-finance big shots like consider a

Its a well known that Internet has changed the way people access information. And the best part is that it has empowered people instead of the oligarchs and governments (except cases where human rights are censored). Its in our hands to mak

Reminds me of one of George Carlin's show where he talks about how humans destroy planet earth. The earth is built to last, and will be there even if humanity is long gone.

Given the rate at which Chrome is revolutionizing browser related technologies, I even think Chrome might overtake Firefox in market share very shortly.

That's just fantastic. Well done Microsoft.

Yeah I know. And if they decide to make use of any 3rd party application or code internally, they make sure they don't unintentionally mess up with legal requirements of the software. This certainly is an isolated case which needs serious i

This sounds horrible. Microsoft shouldn't be blamed for this entirely though. Why wouldn't the team that created this think through before? From what I know, people inside Microsoft make sure they don't get in to any legal trouble before th

I also think eBooks piracy is rampant. Unless people consciously choose to buy eBooks rather than download them illegally, it is difficult for the eBook industry to make profits. tl;dr: Ebook piracy is everywhere. Its important for the indu

Your post seems like anti-Google to me. Aren't people free to choose the service they like? The one with the best service should be the market leader. On what basis will you separate the ownership of internet apps? Saying Google has the who

Even though its about going back, in this case, its about how the feudal structure hinders the real growth. What good is to have good minds and not put them to use?

by socratees 17y ago
The article isn't about going back. It's about the feudal culture in corporate india, and the way the feudal structure jeopardizes the future of the country.

This is awkward. I hope someone investigates this thoroughly.

I hope someone standardizes things that go on inside social networks. Should we consider the money made from selling deceptive ads as a legal? Or is it even a proper revenue model? (For eg. certain ads say user will get points if he takes a

I'm not defending Google or something. But still, isn't Apple disruptive? And most start-ups are disruptive too. And Ads are the proper revenue model for Google, For apple, selling hardware is its revenue model. For, Microsoft selling softw
