no you read it wrong, they are detecting the true volume weighted price of an instrument, by sniffing all the little sneaky trades jettisoned into the market.
No the fund was not for the defence of an individual. You assume that the defence was for an individual and not a community. (from geohot.com) "Together, we can help fix the system". Hardly sounds self serving does it? The community rallied because it was largely felt that an attack on GH was an attack on all of us. I may have reconsidered my donation if GH had said "Together we can help save my ass"
Despite heavy pressure from the Lord Mayor to convict Penn, the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty". When invited by the judge to reconsider their verdict and to select a new foreman, they refused and were sent to a cell over several nights to mull over their decision. The Lord Mayor then told the jury, "You shall go together and bring in another verdict, or you shall starve", and not only had Penn sent to jail in loathsome Newgate Prison (on a charge of contempt of court), but the full jury followed him, and they were additionally fined the equivalent of a year’s wages each.[52][53] The members of the jury, fighting their case from prison in what became known as Bushel's Case, managed to win the right for all English juries to be free from the control of judges.[54] This case was one of the more important trials that shaped the future concept of American freedom (see jury nullification)[55] and was a victory for the use of the writ of habeas corpus as a means of freeing those unlawfully detained.
a jury has more power in deciding a case than a judge, the sad fact is that all too often juries are bullied into believing that they cant exercise this power by the judge and advocates. it can never be a crime to inform people of thier rights
using a immature language (f#) over unproved software stack for an international multi billion dollar low latency transactions when there are dozens of proven highly stable functional alternatives that run well on a linux platform? I can hardly believe it
it is a new platform, hard to tell but I wouldnt go so far as to say linux is to blame, its more likely to be exchange software, they've gone from native to fix 5, so its using a new protocol, new os, new software stack and most likely new hardware stack
in law i believe people can join themselves to an action if the outcome will directly effect them, perhaps this is what the internet community should do..... completely open source the case
