Thanks, this is quite bang on. Any good stuff is getting banned/archived/trolled and I am really missing on talking to people about the technicalities of some of the trading systems that I am building. When I mentioned an 'advanced community', I meant discussing with devs their experience in working with tick data, data storage, in memory processing. Qs like can they ingest tick data for a few thousand symbols and what kind of latencies exist in converting to candle sticks, what is the the stack that they trade using. Technicalities in risk management, handling of errors, directional, non directional strategies and in-depth conversations on almost all of the above topics and more

Do you work in the business by any chance?

Nope, an individual who has built most of these things during their free time. I do spend a lot of my time trading and that helps me evolve strategies from a traders perspective and not a 'quant's' perspective

Can they rewrite stuff on glass? Or is it a one way write?

I can imagine that one could melt the surface a bit and then rewrite it.

4chan uses google analytics? doesn't the free version stop at 10M pages? Does 4chan pay 150K/year for google analytics?

If you have an adWords account, you get to exceed that limit.

They removed that part from their Terms of Service.

Google doesn't enforce this limit (yet)

"around the interwebs" "baggies of drugs" "things that go BOOM"

Seems legit.

Agreed. The TSA Out of Our Pants guy goes to the trouble of giving specific examples in a well-articulated video and they respond with some catchy, hip-sounding interwebs keywordz... I feel safer already.

In the context of this article, it is only true for people who care as much, have spent years caring about their work and continue to do so. Surviving sufficiently long enough in the world where you get to a point where you are truly awesome at your craft and still get to make these choices and worry about them and think about them and have those choices bother you is the realm of very few fantastic people.

>TL;DR - Zynga's profits are a sign that they have doubled down on acquisitions to counter-balance a market shift from web to mobile.

That is not the right summary. Aquisitions are not expenses. They are spent from the 'capital/capital reserves'. So the act of acquiring doesn't hurt the company's profitability directly. However if all the acquired companies are making losses, those losses will now become zynga's losses. So right now the cost of running zynga is huge and that is not too good a thing as compared to its revenues

and they were ex-googlers by the way.

Does anyone know of a way to keep synching all the TED videos as and when they are uploaded? My goal is to maintain a local copy on my machine so that I can view them whenever I like. Any downloaders that can do the job?

iTunes?

The itunes app has only 117 videos? Or are you mentioning some other method? While the http://metated.petarmaric.com/ link mentions a total of 936 downloads

Ah OK. I mistakenly assumed that iTunes had them all.
