Repeating my reply from elsewhere in the thread, individuals and corporations aren't making tradable decisions at subsecond intervals. Few even make tradable decisions at intraday intervals. Given that randomization need only apply to

I don't get why the SEC doesn't enforce a minimum tick rate of one second. Heck, even one whole minute would barely exceed the noise floor. High-frequency trading doesn't need to exist, and the brilliant minds bashing their h

Podman has been a very straightforward drop-in replacement for Docker at my company. Even if that didn't work out, things like Linux namespaces, chroot, bubblewrap, and so on are all beautifully well-documented, battle-tested tools. Do
