Optimizing Your Website For Voice Search

Since Siri debuted on iOS in 2010, we’ve seen a slew of other voice-driven AI assistants. Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana have become household names.

At the same time, smart speakers have become ubiquitous in households and workplaces, making voice-driven computer human interaction commonplace. The result is that over 40% of people in the US now use voice search at least once per day, and that number is only likely to rise.

Technical Aspects of Algorithmic Trading. Part #2

In the previous article, we discussed some key concepts, such as different markets and their characteristics, trading software, and chart visualizations of the market. 

In this article, I would like to dive a little more into the technical aspects of algo trading and discuss the usage of public APIs.

Generally speaking, one could have only two ways of interacting with trading software: manual or automatic.

Manual ways include:
  • Web interface
  • Mobile application
  • Phone calls to your broker representative (it is still possible for stock markets, yes)

Good oldies: MRSK and Rails ≤6

In my previous article, I highlighted the seamless deployment process of Rails 7 applications to AWS using MRSK and GitHub Actions. With four applications already in production, all managed by MRSK, we have come to appreciate its simplicity, centralized configuration, and developer-friendly approach. Having gained such positive experiences with MRSK on our newer projects, I decided to transition one of our Rails 6 applications from Capistrano to MRSK for deployment.

Financial Transparency in Tech

In an increasingly connected world, financial transparency is becoming more and more important. Employees and stakeholders need to know the financials of their own companies in order to play a more active role in their development.

With rising interest rates and the toughest market in over a decade, tech firms in particular can benefit from improving their level of financial transparency. The collapse of SVB a few months ago illustrates this fact. Greater internal awareness could have mitigated its effects, and startups with greater financial transparency might have addressed their exposure to the collapse sooner.

Ultimately, financial transparency should be thought of as a strategic asset. Being upfront about your finances has concrete positive impacts on real business outcomes, such as attracting and retaining workers, reducing employee stress, and promoting trust.

Here’s what I will talk about in this article:
  • What Financial Transparency Does and Does Not Mean
  • Pros and Cons of Financial Transparency
  • Factors Affecting Financial Transparency
