Your message tells me that the tone that I intended was properly conveyed.

Alright, well there's at least one that uses KDB. Agreed on C++ over C, but given that we're talking to someone that's calling themselves a 'technologist' thought I would recommend…

This thread is why y'all need to focus on engineering and leave finance to professionals. Banks have assets (mostly bonds) and liabilities (mostly deposits). Both of these items ha…

The efficient markets hypothesis does not, and has not, stood up to empirical research since it was first invented. The reason that it's a hypothesis, and not a theory, is that it'…

Society was told for thousands of years that astrology could predict the future and we believed it. But turns out, it couldn't. Society was told for decades that "technical analysi…

This is a great way to end up in a situation where you have to re-write entire modules whenever you need to update old code... which is kinda where our teams tend to end up anyway …

I'm starting to feel bad for Boeing.

What paper did you read? It wasn't the one that was linked which stated the opposite of what you just said.

On the bright side, their DNS servers didn't go down, otherwise I would have spent about an hour arguing with my ISP.

Seems to be all google auth

Google has gotten to the point where it creeps me out. I've switched away from Chrome. I don't use their search engine unless I can't find the results on Bing or DuckDuckGo. I don'…

I remember when a bunch of nobel prize winning economists founded "Long-term Capital Management" on the theory that, because they only traded relative value arbitrage, they couldn'…

There are a few very important caveats that they miss though. Revenue determinants are heavily based on conversations with healthcare payers to determine market size which dramatic…

This is a pretty solid breakdown. IRR isn't mathematically valid though. I might take a run at cleaning up this spreadsheet tonight to make it look a little more professional. Need…

Where are the people that told me that front-running is only used to describe your actions in response to your own client's orders? Just because you were taught not to use it in em…

Well, okay, so I should stop donating to the scholarship fund then? If alumni stopped donating then quality of education or number of students would have to go down. If my kids are…

Correct. Despite this, I choose to donate to my universities because a) when its my children's turn, I want the organization to remember my name, and b) I honestly believe that edu…

Front running has not always been illegal, front-running if you have a fiduciary duty to clients has always been illegal, and many forms of front running are still legal today. Now…

Yes, this exists.

Well, you would have lost out on a lot of innovation for one. I would be willing to bet that nearly half of the world's high performance computing specialists cut their teeth with …

Market makers need to be able to close arbitrage opportunities or they won't participate in the market. Speed matters just as much to them as it does to the prop traders.

I was an engineer for a high frequency trading desk at a firm not mentioned in this article. Flash Boys is a great book and we required our new hires to read it as it got a lot of …

My argument is that the west side has had many opportunities to alleviate our transportation problem and has consistently decided that we would rather deal with hour long traffic j…
