In case anyone initially overlooks it, as I did: The proposed delay is 350 micro-seconds, or millionths of a second, not the milli-seconds that ping measures for me.
If the question is whether a 350 microsecond delay is acceptable and whether it's fair to small investors, we're asking the wrong questions. For example, should HN introduce a 350 microsecond delay to posting comments? Would that be fair?
(In the correction at the bottom, you can see the NY Times made the same mistake I did.)
