taking on the Bloomberg terminal. They've got over 300 000 subscribers each paying circa 2000 USD every month. That's 600 million dollars of revenue per month. They're running a labyrinthine functionality on a 1970s System/360-style interface (command line at top of screen). He hires an absolute army of "reps" who's sole job is to try to help subscribers to find functionality, through an interface that is best descri…
Is this related at all to how some were accused of paying the [SEC?] to get trade info nanoseconds before others and able to front-trade? (or whatever thats called)
Is the SEC the canonical source for trade information that every HF wants to trade on?

Anyone know where an historic data-set of say, tick history, could be had to fiddle with? Or is this literally only a purchasable item?
Cities help people connect (in a physical way), and help companies provide goods and services to them in a more efficient way.
However, cities today are maintained, operated, and enlarged based on legacy. I think there are huge inefficiencies, and yet it seems that trying to fix existing ones is a nightmare.
What about NEW ones instead?
I find this extremely interesting. We'll see.

Thanks, this is exactly what we're doing. The complete scope is detailed on https://about.gitlab.com/direction/#scope By the way, we see Mattermost as an alternative for Slack but not for Gitter. One is team chat and the other is 'project' chat with different requirements.
Mattermost is the one thing listed above that I don't use. What do you see as the differences between team and project chat? I've always seen Gitter as chat with one room per repo; on the other hand, I've also never had a team chat.

This is excellent to hear all this awesome work being done by gitLab. I was even more impressed by them recently when they admitted the production data loss and restore (such humility is rare these days). one wonders why they shouldn't rebrand and give a more apt name, at the outset you wont know they offer so much

I just tried to set something up on DigitalOcean. It's a small website with some PHP (already written), but I'd like the possibility of expanding it with Node later. So I rented a VPS, but setting everything up is such a pain, with all that SSHing and process management and Linux permissions and everything. Something that allowed me to just throw my site up with the ease of a common shared web host, but also allowed…
Have you tried nearlyfreespeech? http://nearlyfreespeech.net
edit: Nope, they don't let you setup a proxy (for Node) and PHP on the same server :( it's one or the other
Bring certain folk remedies to market. For example, there are some medical trials indicating, and many folkloric claims, that eating a small but increasing amount of poison ivy, oak or sumac leaf each day will fairly quickly make your body cease to respond badly to contact with those plants. A 30-day packet of capsules, with successively increasing dosages of urushiol (the irritant in those plants), would likely buil…

Was definitely interested, clicked through a bunch and wanted to see pricing and sign up. Unfortunately it's a "contact us for more info" situation, which is really a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the recommendation though.
The opaque pricing is a sign that they've moved up the market to target enterprise. When a company reaches that stage, it's basically telling you, "if this turns you off, then you won't move the needle for us so we don't want to talk to you."
Yes. Like Amazon and Google, with their contact us for pricing.
