How old are your students? I'm truly amazed by what you're saying. As others mentioned, "bit" means "cock" in French, but by the time you learn what a bit is, you're old enough to not laugh at it anymore.

Sorry but I have to disagree strongly here. Having two separate algos directly and actively trading in the wild is highly unusual. There are obvious reasons for which you don't want your algos to trade one against the other on the mark

I've had my fair share of X11 builds at different work places. The typical use case is when you have to work on some Linux dev box which does not have any (or a somewhat recent) X11 and the distribution is either too old to get one, or

The problem here is not the platform itself (Spotify). It'd the overall concept of needing a middle man to distribute your work. I believe blockchain can be a good remedy for unnecessary middlemen. Audius [1] is a good example applied
