So i recentley bought this fancy Bloomberg keyboard thats meant for some fancy banking terminal or something. It had a fingerprint scanner,. The Bloomberg Techs have been on sigh, but couldn?t resolve the problem. They just updated the keyboard drivers. I run the HP diagnostic CD.
- Fingerprint authentication can be hacked. But what everybody is not considering is: 1. You have to have a Bloomberg keyboard to work in finance. It's not even a question. It's a COGS for anybody who wants to work in finance or trading. Bloomberg chat is Facebook messenger for finance people. If your trading desk is bringing in $10M in profits/year, four Bloomberg terminals are a rounding error.
People who berate Bloomberg and it's tech need to have more empathy and ask why things are the way they are. Bloomberg software is certainly important because of the large ecosystem they created over the years. The keyboard and hardware around is not so. It's just Bloomberg way to advertise themselves using physical presence in every trading desk. It is a disrespect to customers, because if I had to pay I would require that a proper keyboard and hardware be used. By the way, I have used Bloomberg terminals before with a traditional keyboard, and know that there is nothing special in that keyboard that cannot be done by similar hardware.
Honestly, symbols such as (, {, [, =. It certainly takes time. I never learned how to touch-type on QWERTY (I got really fast at pecking at keys) - so taking the dive from ~30WPM to ~15WPM for the first two weeks wasn't too big of an issue, now if most of the online typing tests can be considered 'good enough' I now type roughly between 80-95WPM on average using Dvorak - which is mostly excessive when it comes to my day job of programming since I spend more time thinking about what I'm trying to write than I do typing it, but it comes in handy when replying to comments on Hacker News and Reddit or when I have to type up documentation.
Take control of your keyboard. At least Windows and Linux let you remap pretty freely. You probably have more than enough keys to do everything you want already, start remapping! A common path in is to remap Caps Lock to do something useful. (I favor Backspace, one of the keys that never shows up on the list of keystrokes if you just analyze text, but YMMV.) However, it is still the case that even programmers will likely have the symbols off the beaten path a bit. Programmers still do a lot of not-programming, so it's hard for a symbol to displace even unpopular letters from the most convenient spaces.
Your local written language will still end up dominating the keyspace. Programming languages have evolved around the keys present on the QWERTY keyboard. It would be interesting to develop a programmers keyboard geared at providing more useful symbols for programming, and then write languages around the new keyboard. When not programming, many of the symbols on the QWERTY keyboard are useless, and it's missing a lot of typographic symbols that I end up having to use shortcuts, character maps, or unicode for.
It doesn't even have a real apostrophe or left and right quotes, let alone en and em dashes, bullets, or various space widths. Regarding the amount he makes from the terminals and service, I don't doubt that's the major haul of any given year, year after year.
Not coincidentally, that's why I take his pontificating about finance and economics with a grain of salt - he was a tech savvy info delivery man who lucked into trapping people into a dog-shit ugly, expensive, and industry ubiquitous device. It's along the lines of 'I'll view Google as more than just an extremely successful ad agency when they make money on their other projects' which might not seem fair, but cuts through a lot of the enigma-like perspectives regarding tech firms. Oh I agree regarding the business savvy and intelligence to put out a successful product and maintain a market share. The guy did an absolutely fabulous job of it, and I'm not sure it could be replicated.
Although, having worked in municipal finance on the Street for a couple years (somewhat back office, somewhat deal support) I can honestly say that a lot of the systems and information in certain sectors is pretty dated. As in, not very good by modern standards.
The MSRB is trying with EMMA - but because there's no fiscal / competitive reward like in Bloomberg's info providing case, rather it's for regulatory and market stability - but a lot of stuff was still pretty old school. I've designed an 'Information as a Service' program targeting some of the most lucrative sectors in public finance (construction, transportation, education, etc) but still haven't mastered the design / handshakes with needed sources (ex. Hp install a fatal error occurred preventing product user guide. Thompson Reuters) to really call it ready to debut. Another issue is finding the right price point - Bloomberg's got a racket going, I'd just want to hit a good spot where most businesses could afford access, or put it at a value premium where having the information before others (arranged/conditioned by the system) would be worth larger expense.
