Sorry you took it that way, but I'm not admitting there's an imbalance in supply and demand. I'm just saying that if there is (there might be), the H1B program is not meant to address such a thing.

Yeah okay, I don't think we'll ever agree on this point. I see abuse ranging from as tame as Intel driving down wages, to as crazy as body shops like Infosys. Besides, H1Bs aren't as far as I'm aware meant to bring balance to supply and demand. They're meant to import labor you can't find...

Yeah, that's what I meant. Misspoke. Nobody said they were abusing H1Bs. This works both ways though. If there's a large amount of cheap labor in Syracuse, companies should be willing to relocate to Syracuse. (As far as the Syracuse example goes, to the best of my knowledge that's exactly what...

I'll note that you're committing a similar fallacy -- neither of us have provided any data. So let's take a look at the data. From 2013, 32% of computer science graduates are not employed in the field, due to lack of available jobs...

What $$$ are you offering them? That's a pretty big part that's missing from your post. I see lots of Bay Area startups complaining about how they can't hire anyone despite "paying well" but when pressed it turns out their idea of paying well is pretty piss-poor. I proctor about two interviews...

Because this dearth is simply not true, it's made up. It's just the usual garbage of corps not wanting to shell out for domestic talent. Source: I have a PhD in computer engineering, work for one of these big tech corps. That said, there's a little more to this which is pretty worrying. A lot...

You can still sell the individual option in the market.

Small addendum to this review: the P&L calculations do not handle diagonal spreads correctly with the defaults where the long option is farther dated than the short option. The P&L listed forgets that the long option still has value, and it's not just there for a hedge. To fix this, you have to...

tl;dr: Good software with very intuitive UI, hamstrung by terrible sales model that makes it difficult to fit in anywhere. Note when I talk about price I fall into the non-professional pricing. I've been investigating various options software in an attempt to find something that meets my needs...

This depends on the state. It is not universal to America.

That's what we like to call an analog password manager. It works just fine. The convenience of using Lastpass cannot be beat, however.

You're looking at only one small piece of the overall risk picture. What you're defending against isn't someone directly hacking your PC or whatever. You're defending against using weak passwords less than 13 characters (because you have to memorize them) or using a few passwords that you share...

Hey, a question about the field I work in! I strongly suggest using a password manager. They will generate true random passwords much longer than you can personally remember, and they will ensure that you use a different password for every site (this is extremely important). In terms of risk...

Well, they can impose a few at least. My own firm does not allow its employees to trade in its own stock (outside of a small window in each quarter), trade in derivatives for the stock at all, or have a margin account that has shares of the stock in it. Those aren't much in the way of...

Maybe this is a dumb question so forgive me for ignorance, but is there a reason you don't just drop a trailing stop on it and obviate your need to watch it for hours?

Kind of a strange article and strange discussion. That there is more supply found now doesn't mean that there will be more supply available forever, and that it's being used faster than it can be replaced is certainly not up for debate. We can only hope there is enough supply to last us until we...

Robert, what is the monthly cost for Silexx at Lightspeed and is it eligible for rebates via commissions spent like Sterling Trader is? I don't see it on the platform comparison page. Though I was able to find plenty of information on some point-of-sale terminals from a similarly named company :-)

Multicharts.net is lovely software, but I would not recommend it for general-purpose automated trading. It is very optimized to the use case of "write a straightforward indicator that provides some signal, which the user can then decide whether or not to act on". In theory that's automatable...

Thank you Robert, that is indeed a helpful explanation.

Warning: I said it's going to be a dumb question :) Why is so much emphasis put on them? They represent instantaneous snapshots of continuous functions of time-to-expiration, implied volatility, and underlying price. Do people really find them more useful to evaluate positions than a graph of...
