Curiously, both libertarians and fascists agree that socialism is bad for the common man. Meanwhile fascists and communists are convinced that libertarianism is bad for the common man. "Why can't we be friends?"

Here we go again...

The NRA cares as much about the "rights" of regular schmoes as Hoffa's Teamsters cared about the pensions of truck drivers. It is nothing more than a self-serving, hypocritical barrel of special interest group lobbying dung more interested in its own survival than anything else.

There are no "inherent" rights. As evidenced by the American Experience, which for all the high falutin' words ran legalized slavery, and then de facto slavery, for the better part of 200 years.

IMO that's putting things backwards. The selection of the algo - which buries more assumptions than does adding any number of parameters - is the higgs boson of the algo. That's backwards, too. The more "hard coded" parameters there are, the easier it is to validate any given piece of...

trade2live makes an interesting point - if that rifle of his had been full auto, he would most likely have killed fewer people, as those weapons are harder to control and go through ammunition much faster than semi-autos. Where I would differ is that modern western society is getting...

That would have been a catastrophe. Anyway, it turns out at least one carry permit was in the "audience" for this spectacle. They did the right thing - kept their head down and got the hell out of the line of fire.

Serbia, Yemen, Cyprus, Iraq and Saudia Arabia are all top 7 in per capita gun ownership. Don't think too many people would classify them as "polite" societies.

People have short memories. And construction quality sucks, building won't last anyway. Wouldn't worry about it, to be honest.

What do you mean by "inaccurate"? With an R2 that high, it is extremely accurate, by defnition. Are you using "accurate" and "I trust it" as synonyms?

I've started laying out "bullish on big move" positions. Piece by piece, because as you say, it can go lower and stay low for a long time. Patience...

We've been in a 100-ish point range for the past six months. What's the big deal?

What's the connection between Swift and WTS?

It comes from the "test against 30 days of tick data in seconds" statements inferred earlier. From your later description it sounds like the testing is actually again massaged data, not raw tick data, which would knock that number down to more manageable proportions. Cheers!

There's room enough in this world for both.

It's easy to hate. Reality is, most of us, most of the time, are only as honest as our circumstances allow temptation to be held at arms' length.

For sure, didn't mean to imply otherwise. I just figure if you can't handle the I/O, then there's no way you can handle handling the I/O, KWIM. :)

1M/second -> 1 us per tick 5M/second -> 200 ns per tick If you're pulling off a network -> 5M * 100 bytes/message * 10 -> 5Gbps -> basically, you need a 10GbE fire hose. If you're pulling off local storage you're looking at 500MB/s bandwidth. That's...substantial. I have something cooking...

Today +2 - Something everyone expects will happen, market will react as expected Today +3 - Something everyone expects will happen, market will react unexpectedly Today +4 - Something nobody expects will happen, market will not react Today +5 - Something nobody expects will happen...

I consider that good news. We're not going to starve with oil at those prices, and there is clearly abundant supply at those prices and above.
