The term "pop" is sometimes used to describe the immediate post-IPO jump. A small amount of "Pop" (no more than 10 percent) isn't a bad thing. It is a result of oversubscription, which every underwriter needs in order to assure they aren't

Google is of a size that requires distributed teams. It's hard to hire that many top engineers in one place, particularly given their laser focus on the top of the talent distribution. They pay a performance tax for having to distribute,

I think this is a great move on their part. My company uses oDesk. We have a large pool of contractors through them for human judgements, but also outsource some non-critical development to oDesk contractors.

How is this different from a combination of one time pads and steganography?

There are many sources of stock for stock loan. 25 years ago, the primary source was stock in the margin accounts of investors. Today, nearly every large holder of stock loans it out. The reason they loan it out is to make more money. Vi

I didn't say that CAPM precisely modeled the market. I said that individual investors can't beat CAPM, meaning they can't beat the reward/risk relationship predicted by the model. The model predicts that you can get higher returns by accep

I worked on Wall Street starting in the mid 80s and with and on trading desks since the mid 90s. I've built the technology for equity trading desks and program trading desks. I was the business manager for a couple of program trading desk

I've been involved in very successful and not-so successful efforts to outsource offshore. It takes a kind of discipline that's rare in startups. It's also not particularly compatible with lean or agile processes. Do you have work for whi

I aspire to this, but succeed less than I would like. If you manage people, this is relevant to you.

I'd really like cookie sequestration to be a standard browser feature. By sequestered, I mean that cookies be bound to the domain in the address bar as well as the URL they are served from. So I would have different versions of the Google

I don't think you can evaluate this by looking at the patents. If your sole business is patent suits, you're going to sue every time. If your business has paying customers, there's a chance you're going to spend more of your attention on

I believe this will hinge on the details of how Facebook represented the value of the securities to ConnectU. Representations of the value of a security are legally perilous. If Facebook's lawyers at the time were good, I imagine Zuckerb

It's not a patent troll when a competitor goes after you with patents they acquired doing R&D for real products. The patents sound like they shouldn't have been issued, but that's a different problem. A troll has no real business other

I did this with a few people at work. It seems as if the ad is not served at all if the target population isn't over some threshold. I was not able to target 2-3 people, but was able to target 30.

The title is misleading. This isn't a global bailout. This is the European Union protecting its currency by stating that the Union will stand behind the sovereign debt of member countries. It has little to do with the rich and everything

As somebody who used to work in Program Trading, I suspect that unanticipated side effects of Reg NMS amplified already substantial market movements. The regulation, designed to prevent trade-through, has the effect of creating a submarket

I'm sure that type of signal is valuable, but it takes a lot more than that to make money. It needs to be combined with a lot of other signal in order to come up with an estimate of alpha (idiosyncratic return). Then you need to understan
