If communication is done via sockets, who cares what the platform was written in? To write your client in a language because thats what the server is written in is nonsensical. Packets are packets are packets, no matter what language. Pick whichever one you are more comfortable with -- what...

I have a pretty comprehensive plan for terrorism. It is called common sense. You have a greater chance of dieing in a car accident than you do from a terrorist attack. Unless you plan on starting a 'war on cars', I think we should probably get over this 'war on terror', move on, and do...

Either way, I don't see how you are equating market cap and earnings. Yes, adding more shares does 'dilute' the value of each share, and will drive down EPS -- but I don't see any connection between market cap value added based on the new shares and the EPS reported. EPS included the new...

Can you quote the part of the latest 10Q you are referring to? I can't seem to come up with those numbers...

The fact that they ARE out of tune gives them more credibility. The masses are almost always wrong when greed is involved.

Nope. He held some enormous positions in the commodities market. I believe at one point he owned the rights to half of the wheat available for the next year in the United States...or something equally ridiculous. The man could throw quite a line.

Found your economics 101 book? :confused:

Jane Street Capital uses O'Caml. Using the functional family of languages -- especially those known for speed (O'Caml) or those known for multiprogramming (Erlang, Alice), can be extremely beneficial because compilation guarantees that type errors will not exist. This sort of thing is VERY...

It isn't a golden handshake ... it is saying that investors, making up about $8 billion of the investments, will follow him to his new firm. They aren't just handing him $8 billion...

So far, just fanboy vaporware. The wikipedia entry for the gphone does make the thing seem like a future possibility, however.

Sounds like a memory leak problem. How long has the computer been running without being rebooted? When you try to open a program, can you hear your hard-drive thrashing? Once you run out of physical memory (your DRAM or SRAM), the computer uses the harddrive to store process data -- which...

...says the guy whose only real market analysis has been "buy buy buy"...?

...Ruby? SML? O'Caml? Possibly Erlang. Though I am sure your keyword was 'mainstream'...although I do believe that OCaml and Erlang will be much more mainstream in the next five years (or atleast derivative, or parallel (ala Alice), languages from them) 'Continuations' are probably the...

Your assumption would be correct ... if you WERE looking at it as a time series. Rather, most neural networks and genetic algorithms use single time snapshots whose datapoints take into account time series change. So instead of feeding in five separate data points in a row and getting a...

The reason you randomize the 2/3rds of the input is to guarantee you are not training on a time series, but rather in individual points. It also helps ensure that the model is more robust. If you train in order, the model is often overtrained towards the present, and forgets the past (making...

25.50? Great call stoned!

That did quite seriously sound like the same person...

Thanks for the quick responses. I didn't mean to say I was against losing money. I personally think that we learn our best lessons when we lose money. I just know that over time my trades have become less risk averse ... none of the small cap momentum type of guys. As for your offer BnB...

Hey all, Just a quick history about myself, and then I will get to my questions! I am currently a junior at Cornell University studying Computer Science, with a concentration in financial markets. My experience in the markets is in long-term bias only. I have been investing for...

My question back would be then, how do these aural noises help you trade if you still need your visual discretionary stats? Ultimately, if you can do the whole thing audibly, then you could automate the entire thing. The only difference is you are playing a noise instead of creating an order...
