The stock exchange’s Turquoise dark pool, or anonymous trading venue, was taken offline for two hours on Tuesday morning, and later that day the LSE said it was delaying a key migration to open source systems until next year... One large shareholder in the exchange told the Financial Times that he suspected sabotage by an employee, because the LSE had cut staff numbers by more than 10 percent."

Submission + - Tired of Repetitive Arguing About Climate Change, (popsci.com)

Submitted by

jamie writes: "It's the timesaver of the century. 'Tired of arguing with climate change deniers in 140 character quips, the programmer wrote a script to do it for him. Chatbot @AI_AGW scans Twitter every five minutes searching for hundreds of phrases that fit the usual denier argument paradigm. Then it serves them up some science... Those who claim the entire solar system is warming are met with something like: 'Sun’s output has barely changed since 1970 & is irrelevant to recent global warming' followed by a link to corresponding scientific research.' Finally this guy can go to bed."
