>However, if they dont have a 3 to 6 month emergency fund that's on them

Except if they are homeless and jobless, they are a lot larger burden on society. Now play that out at a grand scale and you see the issue....

Isn't him being on the debate stage evidence he is actively participating in the so called "competitive process"?

This seems like a rather weak point of contention...

My company provides free access and I was left entirely unimpressed.

I can't find the original source on bloomberg, but this includes his emails to CTFC (the relevant regulator for e-mini futures)

He was trying to minimize his tax bill. He hired a tax consultant who ended up being fraudulent. This same consultant also introduced him to other fraudsters who extracted money from Sarao.

Here's the SEC report I mentioned.

This is a fall guy for the flash crash. Yeah, he was spoofing orders, but so were a bunch of other people. Read the SEC report on the flash crash.

Interestingly, he also lost his entire $50 million fortune to a bunch of terrible investments, including some downright frauds.

Except part of the reason you have mostly packaged, mass produced crap is because of your own regulations which specifically try to block the US market to protect your home markets.

That's besides the point though, you said US food isn't as healthy as EU food. You didn't say "imported, mass produced stuff isn't as healthy as fresh EU produce and meat". I was simply saying that you are getting a very skewed perception of US food if you are only comparing against imported US food.

US food in the US is generally high quality.

Isn't it obvious the stuff that gets imported isn't the same stuff that all Americans eat? The US isn't exactly exporting tons of fresh food all the way to Eastern Europe.

Of course its gonna be mostly packaged, mass produced crap....

I didn't accuse them of anything. I was re-stating what they themselves wrote in their complaint.

Yes, Genius licenses the lyrics, but they often aren't provided the lyrics when they purchase a license. This is where the community comes in... FWIW, Google and the other target of the complaint have the same license from these music publishers.

This is all spelled out clearly in Genius' complaint.

I mean, from my reading of the complaint, the waterproofing method was rather crude. They just simply changed either the apostrophe character or the space character to different characters that are visually the same.

Any system that wasn't actively trying to clean up "trouble" characters would leave it alone.

So Genius gets people to transcribe the lyrics mostly for free and then sells them to other companies for a lot of money.

Google found someone to provide lyrics and that company allegedly scraps Genius for cheaper than Genius charges for direct access.

So this is basically a continuation of the on-going question of whether scraping is legal? That's my basic understanding from reading the complaint. I'm also not sure why Google is at fault, except for a bunch of ranting about the Information Box stealing their business.

Guess there's also the attempt to try to enforce Genius' ToS...

Perhaps, a comparison versus the rest of the G7?

"One size fits all" is not a realistic goal.

Ever heard of "No Child Left Behind"? The government provided a set of minimum requirements everyone should meet, yet provided no metric gathering beyond the minimum, no funding for advanced studies. Result was a huge decrease in funding for gifted students and there's been several studies on the negative effects.

In my opinion and personal experience, it was awful for any gifted children and all the gifted programs were drastically cut.

One size fits all classes are not the answer. Kids are too varied in aptitude.

Naively using linear scaling on financial models provides zero guidance to how the model would actually perform... Scaling financial models is an extremely hard problem.

See RenTech limiting the size of their Medallion fund because it was getting too large to scale....

Seems they just simply could sell a faster connection and just call it an "institutional feed".

Regulated financial exchanges basically do this already.

The theoretical solution would be to raise how much you are paying.

Perhaps you are being overly dismissive of the "extroverts" needs in the situations you are describing...

Some might just "complain", but others feel safer being vocal in a group of people.

You mention understanding that some of the quietest people have the most to say behind a screen, well, I imagine there is a non-insignificant group of people who feel much safer talking it out within a group where there isn't a written record and they can judge the crowd's reaction immediately.

I wouldn't consider myself anywhere close to an extrovert and I would consider myself more candid in spoken communications at work, even when my whole team is present.

Just my 2 cents.

It's simply surprising that they continuously find an edge in an ever increasingly competitive market.

It's not a fair comparison to say they just "did the math" when there are thousands of other, highly qualified, highly intelligent people trying to "do the math" at the same time, all the time, yet RenTech has managed to always come out ahead and not just barely, but massively ahead.

I don't believe RenTech is doing anything illegal. I think they have a extremely significant edge that they've managed to maintain for a significant period of time and that should be suspicious to anyone who participates in the market.

A lot of these stories read as overly dramatic and it often feels like the author is begging for sympathy in situations that don't seem to be very regrettable...

I've heard several theories that it was an cyber security failure.

Using phones at poker tables, especially ones without RFID systems, isn't really a risk.

I quoted wrong number. Sorry.

Harvard has a 25%+ Asian American undergrad class, (edit)~~2.5x (Harvard's is ~60% of UC's) more than the latest number listed on that wiki page, so your final statement is factually incorrect`~.

I quoted wrong number. It's 25% vs 40%.

Seems to be a common Australian abbreviation. Only other place I've ever heard it (central business district) is on an Aussie TV show.

I don't see how California's tech innovation is proof that regulation isn't stifling innovation in other, tangentially related at best, sectors. I would also argue CA regulations stifle a lot more industries than just education.

>Remember that one of the most exciting events in online poker was the run of isildur1. That run was put to rest when he went bust against players who had studied thousands of his hand histories.

Perhaps more famously, Jungleman compiled hand histories from many different people while he was playing Tom Dwan in the 'durrrr' challenge (which I guess technically isn't over....)

Right, but the switch is flipped from passive collection to active targeting in secret court hearings* and if they already have been passively collecting, you could go from no concern to being actively targeted without ever knowing.

They couldn't do this if they weren't drag-netting.

*FISA courts have 11 denied requests and over 34,000 approved.

My argument would be that it isn't nearly specific enough. Simply commenting on a thread shouldn't be enough probable cause.

There should be more discussion about the ridiculously broad nature of this warrant... How are they able to say anyone who commented at all is a potential co-conspirator?

They should be required to have a more clear guideline than someone who just commented. It's basically a drag net.
