is the credit card trail not good enough?

just curious, why do you even need to scan receipts? Cant you just use a credit card and import transactions from the card provider?

his wife would have been in a black out period where she's not allowed to be trading Amazon stock if she works there. i'm not sure if the blackouts specifically applies to the husband, but him doing this 11 times right before an earning call? its kinda blatant

edit: Blackouts include the employee and all family members. You can not trade during blackout periods.

yep. i remember asking a question on google groups about some AppEngine query early on a Saturday morning thinking, "this will never be answered".

about 15 minutes later Guido van Rossum answered my question.

>To put 580 terabytes in perspective, it’s roughly the equivalent of 120,000 DVDs or 786,977 CDs — IBM notes that stacking that many CDs would result in a tower 3,097 feet (944m) tall, or taller than Burj Kalifa, the world’s tallest building.

what do you mean about the gold miners? is Parker not legit? what have i been watching?

teach a man to fish

and my point is you need something to onboard people from fiat to crypto. it doesn't happen in a vacuum

coinbase is just an exchange, or a way to buy/sell crypto. once you own crypto, you no longer need to use coinbase. coinbase never advertised itself of being decentralized

My guess is you are waiting 8 days for your bank transfer, not the litecoin. If you had money already in your account, or paid with a credit card it would be there immediately

Render does not mean render to the dom, render means render the virtual dom. Rendering the virtual dom still has a cost, so this lib is just lett you know there are situations you can avoid. You can tell React to avoid the render if you'd like

awesome. gonna give this a whirl tonight!

Fair enough

Sorry, didn't mean to waste your time.

A) I agreed with your last comment

B) was just pointing out that the snarkyness comes across strong in the blog post. So it's possible that frame of mind affects the writing and it affects the reader, argument aside.

How about him saying "looking a little scaly, bub" for a caption for lewis. Surely what Lewis looks like has no relevance on the argument. Seems Lacklin has it out for Lewis.

I guess calling him an idiot is not ad-hominem in that he's arguing he doesn't understand what he's talking about.

i said that comment is a bit over the top. i was talking about "either Lewis is a credulous idiot who is not competent as a journalist, or Katsuyama is an idiot who was not competent as a trader" it seems Locklin's goal is to say Michael Lewis is an idiot, which is ad-hominem attack. The need to call him an idiot, combined with the "retard" comment is really not needed and doesn't add anything.

i do appreciate your explanation for how the goal of Lewis's book is based on a fallacy

Still this is all just Ad-Hominem attack on the characters in Flash Boys and seems a bit over the top "Yeah, I might believe that. I might believe that if I were a dribbling retard."

doesn't really answer why Flash Boys does such a terrible job of explaining HFT

in no way was i implying he was "making things up" but he has said that Flash Boys did a "bad job of explaining HFT" and on that website he links to it says its "dreadful". He also says he "answers this question so often" he made that site. but the site just lists books, but doesn't really answer any questions. Just pointing to other peoples books is not really answering a question. and i think if Flash Boys is "dreadful" he could point to a few concrete examples

but you don't really give any specific counter points. if Flash Boys is dreadful, i would think you would have specific points to counter it

Hence why Peter Hunt (react.js developer) named his presentation "Rethinking Best Practices" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgVS-zXgMTk

How is this supposed to be pronounced?

also, "papers please" was a German thing AFAIK

...But in this case, you'll first have to work up the guts to go ask her for her phone number, so that you can go back to your desk and send her your heartbeat.
