The issue in this case wasnt over whether Aleynikov did something wrong (he even admitted as much). The issue is over how he should be punished. Goldman should be upset, but that doesnt necessarily mean he deserves the degree of punishmen

What is a "Credentialed Computer Scientist"? Do you mean a college degree in CS/EE? I'd imagine a whole slew of people here on HN are Credentialed in that sense.

The large institutional investors will not participate unless there is something for them. There's a lot of shadiness all around, but essentially you are asking funds to sink tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into a new company which

The issue with dutch auctions is that, unless you ask for a miniscule amount of money, the major investors in the IPO will drive down the price (call it collusion). The game that wall street plays with regards to IPO is simple: I'll let you

In fact, it's actually simpler to expose C components using Lua than Tcl.

What really happened was that the core functionality of Tk was ported to other languages (for python, check out Tkinter), so you can leverage the power of Tk elsewhere. As a result, you have to look at Tcl in comparison to Python and other

Glad to see I'm not the only one still using Tcl :) "even adding new widgets that Qt and and GNOME had that Tk didn't (trees, tables, buttons that could show images and labels, for example). Tk has since made this a lot easier but at the ti

The 'danger' of teaching people to invest is that the people who generally teach have some sort of ulterior motive that isn't about people's economic welfare, and that generally skews the discussion. For example, sell-side analysts push tra
