When I hear about technological prowess, I am expecting things like rockets that land on barges, self driving cars, and even block chains. Not web apps and mobile apps. Most of Chi…

Dropbox vs OneDrive or Google Drive could be a better example here.

Two features of LEAN won me over are : 1) LEAN supports finer data such as minutes, seconds, and ticks. 2) LEAN was developed in C#, which is way faster than Python.

If you're serious into retail algotrading, IB (Interactive Brokers) is the best broker you can get.

For backtesting intraday trades, LEAN from QuantConnect is a better alternative.

This reminds me a scene of the wonderful AniMatrix clips. Here is what I recalled (may not be exactly accurate): Escaped robots established their own country in remote area and sta…

Yeah, DJI would be a better choice, if you are in the market for a drone.

I used to be bullish on Xiaomi. Not any more. They seem to get into any hot sectors very quickly, but never manage to grab a big piece of pie and keep it. I wonder if Xiaomi has sp…

> I did not say 'democracy' -- this is an economic discussion of how capitalism, and not communism, creates prosperity. You're right on this one. I shouldn't have put words into yo…

Thanks for the nice words. That's why hackernews is the forum I frequent most, since we can have discussions over almost every imaginable topics in an intelligent and decent manner…

Thanks for the nice words. Speaking with an accent and writing not as fluent as native English speakers used to make myself frustrated a lot. I got used to it a while ago. Though d…

Um, not a native English speaker here. Though as long as I can articulate my thoughts to have a meaningful discussion, I don't think that's being an issue. I would rather you focus…

Appreciated for your comments. Though statistically that is not very convincing: the ingredients of capitalism, i.e., market economy and democracy would lead to prosperity. We have…

I know communism left a big scar on you, which is totally understandable. The Romanian Communist government was a puppet one imposed by Stalin's Red Army, which has no legitimacy a…

Very spot-on post. I don't have any facts or numbers though. But my gut feelings is that the percentage of people that survive the scarcity (China) or overabundance (West) are comp…

One word: rent-seeking

I've heard lots of good stories on Vert.x and was planning to give it a try. This news makes me wonder if there's is something happening in the project.

I would use it for personal projects at home. Just for fun. Though I would envision there might be a niche market for affordable Spark clusters as appliances, say, one 1U box that …

Wish there is an affordable ARM SOC board for building DIY Spark clusters, which has a 64bit CPU, 8 cores, gigabit ethernet, SATA, USB3, and 4GB memory (8GB memory would be even be…

To be fair, there is a positive side of China being the "World's Factory". For example, without the inexpensive components from Chinese factories, Wind/Solar Power won't be as affo…

That sounds simple and effective. Thanks.

Is it possible to attach a receipt (say scanned PDFs) to a Ledger entry? I am interested in ledger, would like it to be the accounting system for my side business, a bit more bookk…
