Excel has been cool for a few decades now. There are entire trading strategies run on Excel - down to actually sending and cancelling orders. Companies have banked their entire success on operating via the spreadsheet. I always hoped things

Is there a "client side" way to detect this? Similar to how we can detect photoshopped still images: checking edges, shadows, pixels, etc... The benefit is you would not have to rely on issuing commands to the remote party.

Can you be precise about "this period"? I don't disagree with you that 401k puts an implicit bid into the market. However, they've been around since the early 80s and the market goes up and down regardless.

That cocaine regimen implies there's some sort of multiday benefit to cocaine. Whereas it would make sense than any benefits from the drug would be from contemporaneous consumption during a match...

There was a study from a decade ago on online dating. Apparently the optimal set of profile pictures for men was: one photo with friends, one shirtless pic, and one pic with an animal. They didn't specify which. I'm guessing they

As Matt Levine would say - and will certainly write about tomorrow - Insider Trading is about theft. They stole valuable company information before it was publicly known to profit from it...

Twitter feeds are pretty public, albeit expensive to buy the firehose. Nonetheless, shouldn't a handful of motivated hackers be able to answer the bot question??
