Can a business model of capturing hostnames pay for the initial and ongoing costs of such a system? Isn't this kind of wireless hardware expensive at the scale of a business like this?

I might expect that kind of activity in the US but not the EU.

My point was only that such protections and rewards already exist.

I find it obvious that such retaliation happens, otherwise it would be strange to have such laws.

CWA, CAA, CERCLA, and RCRA provide these protections for whistleblowers and a framework for financial incentives, though these incentives are paltry compared to SEC whistleblower rewards.

The biggest distinction I see is the ability to continue from exceptions.

I find the other differences to be minor in comparison - to be able to recover and continue execution following post-mortem debugging is amazing.

(Perhaps I'm not a good person to ask, as I don't work at a product company or in IT services)

I really wouldn't give it a second thought, as everybody is using this stuff.

In my niche, there is very little focus on this kind of project management, due to the required speed of development and deployment.

If you work fast and reliably enough, delivering commercially important software, nobody is asking about a JIRA ticket.

Some people don't want to use it at all, and don't care for the situation that C-suite everywhere buys Atlassian's trash.

They don't want minor improvements to help it limp along, they want to vent and complain about it.

I think it's impossible that Atlassian evolves into a good product company, but it's entirely possible that my next CTO googled for opinions on the product, found a few discussions on HN with a combined 3,000 complaints about what a garbage fire it is, and went with Clubhouse.

"My boss told me to generate a bunch of JIRAs in reaction to the recent accurate discussions on HN of how poor our performance is, so I need specific dit-dot issues to buff our team metrics rather than address the cause of the issues, which is a political non-starter"

If you're in the US, you should pay more attention to the contractual agreements you're entering into.

I would find it incredible that you haven't agreed to binding arbitration many times throughout the normal course of your financial and commercial activity.

This is not a decision a library developer makes in a reasonable Engineering organization.

Why would he place a naive bet on Tesla's performance across all factors and not hedge non-idiosyncratic cyclical macro factors?

Wikipedia says the guy's made $300M investing, as a notable contrarian - not making his buck from beta.

Can you point to an overview of his trading history that suggests he's "not usually right"?

Nintendos profit forecast for FY2020 is 150% of Sony's gaming division.

Apple just dropped hardware which crushes every comparable competitor.

But to you, Nintendo is not competing by "making more money", and Apple is "falling behind" by ... jumping years ahead? This reads like personal axe-grinding that is detached from any objective link to the market.

i would cron this before i blocked loading the prompt with such a slow check.

if your api surface supports it, a simple and effective solution is to restart the process

Even apps like Tinder and Grindr are selling valuable user information to HF.

I think it’s easier to hit that level in FAANG due to the number of opportunities and less elitist hiring practices.

I do a lot of intern interviews and I haven’t seen a single non-target resume, or someone without FAANG internships, high placement in global hackathons, math olympiads, etc.

Experience is a way in but it depends what “fintech”.

Kill two birds with one stone by learning more about the structure of the Python interpreter and builtins implementations by reading the source.

My unit in IB bought such a thing and didn't do anything with the multi-million dollar outlay over the two years I was there.

I worked for some time at a former nuclear weapons research facility where a number of Transite composite asbestos Quonset huts were built in the 50's and used through the 2000's.

Checking google maps, it appears that they've finally remediated these structures, but they were in fine condition up until then.

He worked at bankers trust, but not as a banker, and then at a quant hedge fund, but not as a quant.

I used to be a part of this when the tracking party was manned and I was engine room sup.

Using the computer tools For fusion was definitely interesting (90’s X11 gore), with a large palette of modeling tools, but the coolest experience was being taught to time/range plot on paper by the mustang weps.

Signal separation techniques for characterizing cyclostationary signals are also more robust to noise. For example, analysis of the second order FFT can resolve the signals of incipient faults in rolling bearings because it can resolve the signals of the bearing components rotating (at a much lower frequency than the shaft) whereas simple FFT analysis would generally only measure the magnitude of the structural resonance of the machine, with spikes at the mains, rotational, and slip frequency.

I interpreted your comment as an allusion to the probablistic fact that, given an infinite bankroll, you can exceed any profit, in time, betting on coin flips.

I tried to point out that LTCM had a very reliable and profitable trade on the basis anomalies they identified, which, combined with their imprimatur and aggressiveness, enabled the leverage that enabled them to dig their own grave (they ended up with nearly the same leverage as Lehman).

I worked on a team with OG LTCM and Lehman MBS quants, and they had some very interesting stories parallel to the standard narratives you hear about these events.

That's mischaracterizing what happened. They were always winning, but hugely over-leveraged (they practically dictated the terms of their credit), and couldn't weather a regime change (LB).

This is algo trading, or execution optimization.

They aren't measuring the market / order book and then reacting at high frequency. They are reacting at low frequency and then the execution is optimized to minimize losses caused by market feedback.

This is a very important distinction if you hold the view that HFT risks destabilizing markets.

Show me a backtest with a switching rate this low, on any name you can arb between the NYSE/CME/... and JPX with this 7ms advantage and I would acknowledge this is implementable if the PnL and vols justify the opportunity cost.

It’s a very cool idea but I’m skeptical that the market structure supports it.

Russian surveillance vessels or warships in the proximity of Cape Canaveral and Kings Bay NSB have and will provoke a fleet-level response of hunter-killer submarines that harass them out of the Atlantic.

Russia has no capability to project naval power to this region.

Sorry, this doesn't sound realistic (I work for a major HFT).

Do you have evidence that someone net a billion in a year making a market on a single name?

This seems to ignore that the effective bandwidth could be so low that the latency is greater than conventional transmission systems like RF. Since scintillation radiation detectors are highly stochastic compared to semiconductor RF receivers, I think it's probable it would take too long to receive the bit with sufficient confidence.

Scintillation detectors don't work like a solid state detector and have worse time characteristics.
