Actually the continuous cross is the special one from strictly the auction design perspective. I am very familiar with discrete auctions and their advantages and drawbacks. It turns out there there are many times to participate in such disc

Yeah. So with Strong I have all my workouts dialed in with set plans, weights, etc... I like the analytics. I also have some alternate workouts, for instance if I am hurting from Jiu Jitsu I do just a mobility workout. But hey, if you like

I use Strong for tracking my lifting as opposed to a spreadsheet. Found it to be good for at least my style of working out.

Of course it does. A trader (not an investor) is incentivized to wait to the last possible moment when he can still expect a fill. This is why exchanges disseminate auction imbalance information, to attract people to the auction prior to it

This has existed in various forms for more than 10 years. Nasdaq I believe has 3 or 4 discrete intraday crosses in addition to the opening and closing cross. You don't want it to be random since participants need certainty about when t

This largely depends on the company. Once you have been PIPed often transfer options are limited. Personally by the time I get to the point where I am going to PIP someone I have already invested significant time and energy trying to help t

I would love a wired trackpad. Every couple of weeks I probably burn 20 minutes or so when either my home office trackpad or my office track pad just stop being seen by my MBP. The fast that my apple device frequently can't talk to my

All that may be true. But I prefer today writing a little file that is a systemd service than fixing up someone else's init scripts. If it is as broken as you say why was it adopted?

Investment banks are not the primary beneficiary of an IPO, it's the current shareholders of an illiquid stock. Hopefully a banker can fill in some of the details but I will provide a couple of broad strokes here on the process. The un

I would dispute that expensive litigation is a US only phenomenon. I have had much higher legal fees in Brazil than the US.

Thats pretty easy for an institution to do. You would simply find the most exposed developments with the highest credit ratings and buy CDS on their bonds. The issue is that if this is not a crash (e.g. prices rapidly collapse triggering de

Loving a product is somewhat orthogonal. To be successful an open source DB company needs some large customers paying to make that model work. I dislike cassandra immensely, but I still use it every day.
