I'm torn on this.
On the one hand high frequency dating is a good thing because it adds liquidity to the market.
On the other, it raises the risk of of increased volatility and flash crashes (when your partner finds out).
- JonnieCache 13y ago>high frequency dating is a good thing because it adds liquidity to the market. Ewwwww. The door to a whole world of truly unsavory double-entendre has been opened.
- martypitt 13y agoThose markets don't recover nearly as quickly as they used to.
- JonnieCache 13y agoThere's a pun somewhere connecting the phrase "the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" with premature ejaculation, but I can't seem to find it. You'll have to finish it off for yourself.
- btown 13y agoIf the utility function is especially curvy, the optimal position for a rational actor might not be underneath it.
- HeyLaughingBoy 13y agoYeahbut. Fun is frequently irrational.
- rfnslyr 13y agoThese puns are an order of magnitude above what my brain can typically handle.
- 31reasons 13y agoClearly you can actually find dates.
- rfnslyr 13y agoI've had so many dates and they all fall through or fade after the third. Found out most women expect guys to drive them everywhere and pay for their dates, about 50% were offended I didn't pay for all their shit. I've had bad dating experiences.
- hnal943 13y agoUh, yeah you're supposed to pay for the dates and drive. I guess it depends on who you're trying to catch?
- rfnslyr 13y agoI live in the city and don't own a car, and no I won't be anybodies sugar daddy. I can buy a drink or two, as anyone would, sure. I don't know why women feel entitled to my money. I was on one date, and when the waiter brought our two separate bills, she looks at me like I'm retarded for not paying for her meal, an $80 steak dinner. She then proceeded to lecture me on the "rules of dating" and the role of Men in society. I threw $100 down and left mid conversation. If you're looking for some chump to be your chauffeur in exchange for your pussy, look elsewhere. Dating sites give women the illusion that they are superior and guys should be fighting for them. One girl literally said to me "If you're not paying for me and picking me up/dropping me off, I have a ton of other options that will". Wow, so you're in it for the free ride instead of meeting another person with shared interests, thanks for letting me know! Guess I should probably apply to YC, get some funding, and start funding dates!

- amalag 13y agoSays the industry groups profiting from it.
- fantnn 13y agoand the empirical data, source or gtfo
- amalag 13y agoThere are plenty of valid critiques of the industry sponsored research. Sorry that you can only see the opinion of those who are making money from it.
- patrickdavey 13y agohttp://www.amazon.com/Dark-Pools-Machine-Traders-Rigging/dp/0307887170 http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Pools-Machine-Traders-Rigging/dp/... Good book. HFT gives the illusion of liquidity - can dry up real quick and if things go wrong, well, as suggested below, you get the Flesh Crushes ;)
- fantnn 13y agoSome guy with an MFA is not qualified to talk about HFT and liquidity. I was referring more to an academic source, flash crashes are more the exception and not the rule; they stabilize quickly and have little to no lasting negative effect on industry.
- asgard1024 13y agoWhile I agree additional liquidity is good in this market, sometimes you want to intervene with some protection of trading partners. Other people argue that these problems are all solved with an "invisible hand".
