Brutal title (Not OP's fault). The article basically suggests that algos are reducing market volatility. Algos don't try really hard to get VWAP. VWAP is REALLY easy to achieve, _b…

Great idea, awful name. Grope + People = Grople ? Obligatory Grapist video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqq051BU2MY Sort of reminds me of zaarly.com

sorry, I wasn't clear. I wasn't asking WHAT velocity of money is, I was asking someone to explain the author's velocity of money argument. i.e. transfering wealth out of btc accele…

About 25k BTC trade daily on MtGox, and that is thought to represent roughly 1/3 of USD-BTC FX transactions daily. Keep in mind thats BTC-USD trades, not "notional value spent". Ap…

Can someone explain the velocity of money argument to me? The blog post seems to be: 1. If btc are liquid, everyone will want to move btc wealth out to some other store of wealth a…

nothing. anyone can. right now its mostly inefficient to allocate cpus for mining. its just not worth it for them. as more bitcoins are mined they get harder to mine. http://news.y…

something like that. This morning I had this thought for 2 things: 1. a python filtering function I wrote 2. how to restructure an entire django project. Both (esp #2) are a little…

I'm not super concerned about confidentiality for my code, but then again I'm not doing anything groundbreaking. Mostly, if I cared about confidentiality, it'd be so I don't get pu…

Lissn is blowing up with HN users right now. Its quite nice. Sort of like 2-3 person IRC chat rooms. Not sure what the real value is, but its fun for the moment.

Chill out guys. There's a balance between deliberately writing garbage and trying to start with perfection, and you choose some middle ground. Yes, write maintainable code. No, don…

"My co founder can father a small child just by looking at a woman" Hilarious. With great power comes great responsibility...

Entrepreneurs Unpluggd was great, Tim. As far as I'm concerned, you're leading the push to put Chicago on the map as a great startup city.

to be clear, i mean a space that is heavily geared towards web based startup/technology hackers. noble tree is a coffee shop and chicago jelly meets there, but it is not a space wh…

grubwithus (current YC class) inkling markets (first YC class i believe)

Why is there no General Assembly/Hacker Dojo in Chicago? Is there a demand for it at all? The culture in Chicago seems totally different, would there even be a demand for that sort…

Not sure if this is supposed to be an april fools joke, but the post title statement is false, in mandarin and in cantonese. 穀歌; pinyin: Gǔgē

Don't do it. Might be a way to encourage them to pay you, but to your prospective clients who don't know the backstory behind nonpayment, you will seem petty and vindictive. Maybe …

The "in another life I could have been a spy" part of me LOVES that this can be done. I've read that with zoom lenses and consumer level dslr you can get high enough quality images…

malicious code as revenge is petty and immature. life's short. don't be a jerk.

To be a little more helpful: Basically for ACH you get charged per transaction. http://www.achq.com/lz/ach-processing-solutions.php says $.25/transaction, though I've heard that yo…
