I'm reminded of the 3 laws of robotics by Isaac Asimov. Or any of the countless books, and films about AI's taking over the world. Also I have my doubts about actually quantifying emotion into programs - talk about complex. And da

My point is that Google is searching in vain. It's running around in circles cause it keeps coming back to ads. Confusing? So is Google. Know anyone who works there? Ask. Many there are just as confused. And that's Google's p

But for the newbie user it's a nightmare. If you google "Python training" you're going to get books, sites that offer training from 2.5 to 3.3. And those are recent sites (like 2012+). Not to mention pip and package mana

I agree. c# is a great language but it's tied to .Net. Which is Windows only (Mono? Please...). And assuming M is too, you are right, it's already lost. And it's too bad too. It's VERY clear to me that the future is mult

Because it's easy. And most people are lazy; don't have the time or care to think it though. It's PR. And it isn't just politicians who run it.

Ahhh no. Your making assumptions. It's not obvious that the client was the NSA. Why not the DOD, or CIA, or hell even SSA? Not that it matters much anyway. The result is the same.

Actually HFT does manipulate the overall price of the share. In the public markets. And that's the problem.

It's a big deal to everyone who is not a "professional" trader. Oh and by the way, HFT mostly trade low volume at high speed. In other words, trading 5 shares of Apple 5 million times an hour. That makes money. It's not
