If I were the trader with perfect information, I'd program my trading algorithms to lose (or at least not be guarenteed to win) 40% of the time. This would make you look merely like a incredibly fortunate trader, and not a perfect one. Just make sure that your algorithm guarantees an X% return per year.
I find it oddly humorous that the instructions tell you that you must use the Light theme, then the illustration of taking a screenshot shows a dark theme.
I wrote a web app that will automate iTunes movies & shows searches for you. I wrote it to know when Game of Thrones Season 2 is available on iTunes (among other things).
I'm a Rails & JavaScript, Mac OSX, and iOS developer with many years of experience in producing quality products quickly. I do not have much in the way of design chops, but I'm your man for everything else from the client to the server. I also have substantial experience with various embedded C environments.
My total guess would be that the 650MB image just provides you a mechanism to download Lion again. Or perhaps it's a machine-specific rev? My instinct says the former.
It's an interesting theory, but ultimately irrelevant. The thing is that there are SO MANY people working right now to make JavaScript incredibly fast. It's not hard to imagine a future where JavaScript is the fastest reasonable way to write software -- simply because it's the language that has the most R&D going for it.
Did I say future? Oh, hello NodeJS.
I don't envision that we'll be writing JavaScript itself forever -- but rather a super-syntax on top of it that compiles down to JS. CoffeeScript is the first generation of this kind of programming language.
I do, however, believe that for the foreseeable future, JavaScript will become the lingua franca of day-to-day programming.
