Why do they elect that scoundrel Liebermann, anyway? What is he doing for his state that makes him a favorite?

I'll be the first to admit I am a terrible GUI programmer. I got turned off by GUI development because of how tedious Win32 programming in C used to be, and I never got too absorbed in GUIs because I found writing them to be overly tedious and boring. That having been said, I'd like to...

We have to stop attributing this to stupidity and start attributing it to malicious intent. Our politicians are owned by foreigners is my guess, because no country is this suicidal. Pelosi goes so far as to champion reps who aren't listening to their districts.

He's probably coming through Tor or something. Just get a list of all outbound Tor nodes and ban them from posting to the site. No one in a tyrannical regime prioritizes posting to ET anonymously anyway.

It's never so trivial in the real world, Jack. Your statisticians will go so far as to look at leverage, the hat matrix, deleted residuals, semi-studentized and studentized residuals, the variance inflation factor, or ratios of the magnitudes of the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix...

Not to mention that if you stay in 1 place for 5 years, your skillset can decline depending on how open the environment is. They don't compensate you for loss of marketability, so it is better to take the extra 10k and run.

Who knows who in my building has a connection to Timothy Sykes, but I found a signed copy of the guy's book in my building's lobby with a sign that said "Free books, take!". I opened the cover, and it was signed by the man himself. The book isn't the one that's actually selling either, because...

Realistically, I can save about 25-40k annually after all expenses. Rough approx: +120,000 -24,000 rent -50,000 taxes 66k left, -25k for whatever, so around 41k. Minus 10k for education this year, ~31k. Last year I had about 15k left over, because I spent 15k on education. My base...

Depends on the environment, but it really depends. You're right in general. I did a few things that revolutionized the work flow in my old organization and I got paid less than a first year college graduate, if you adjust for region and such. They knew, they acknowledged it, but I got...

Try millions. My code has literally saved firms millions on account of innovations. The problem is that corporate politics and trader self-importance prevents trickle-down economics from happening inside a socialist workplace. And, realistically, unless different people are competing on the...

I'm constantly 'looking' even though I have a job. I don't know if this helps or hurts me. My NY progression was: 92 -> 110 -> 140 -> now 120 + whatever is coming to me. Financially, it's never made sense to stick around in any one place but then I get screwed on every negotiation...

Fsck. I got 140 (total) last year, and they said the bonus was bad because of the financial crisis. I'm getting 120 base now, but I'm an independent contractor though I get a bonus and some shitty health plan. I'm still paying back student costs, and owe $10,000. I sold myself short...

I got wacked for 6 days also. Had a fever, sore throat, and muscle aches. Could not control vomiting. It passed after about 4 days, and now all I have left is a mild cold. I live in NYC, probably caught it on the subway.

I need a level 2 API that allows me to use the information in some kind of programming language (don't care what language it is). Even the top 5 levels is enough. None of the retails feeds I've ever used has this, except Genesis. However, Genesis is a consolidated/merged feed where the...

It's not just MBT, it's more why can't these people give me real answers. I hate secrecy, particularly when it comes to the fact that I have to rely on these people to handle my money. Had it been the same answer from any other broker, I would have complained also. I will probably try MBT's...

Well, in FX, there aren't any. So we're clear -- if I post an order on MB and offer out on one of those bank platforms, I can catch other guy's retail order passively? Where do they make money? Their own spread extraction games + commission?

... except all the best ideas I've ever gotten were from random musings at people interviewing me at jobs when I pressed them for information. Also, though, my overall process for analyzing things has improved tremendously on account of people suggesting various tools and packages to solve...

I should mention that I don't expect pros to show up. NYC Resistor, for example, has people coming in and building basic, easy projects. They're not designing sophisticated electronics, beyond your usual microcontroller interfacing or stepper motor work. I imagine most of the people who'd...

I went last night to this group called NYC Resistor, http://www.nycresistor.com/. They're more tinkerers and hardware-project people, and they call themselves a hackerspace; However, the environment seemed open and I went there last night and spent about two hours working on some automated...

The issue is not so much whether I'm able to cross the spread, but whether I can avoid paying the spread. With dealing desks, I can't, until the bid catches up (in the case of a short, and vice versa for a long.) Particularly in the more exotic pairs. If they advertise ECN, but then give no...
