It would be more analogous to hft if 1. Platforms could detect they're sellng the same piece of good and automatically sort by price 2. There's no material difference between vendors other than pricing and offering, e.g. in custom

It's tough to see the arguments, I can't sympathize with her because doesn't seem to be offering arguments in good faith. To her credit, gender discrimination is hard to prove and perhaps she felt she really had a strong case

I guess you're referring to my specification of low-margin. As I also specified SME, what that means is both low-margin and low-revenue. And the true intented meaning is that all cash flows one might want to tax (mostly with progressiv

There's sales tax for customers, income (and payroll) tax for employees, and then taxes on dividends, and then capital gains on stocks. Low-margin SMEs contribute proportionately very little tax compared to Google when we account for t

Public money indirectly comes from the most profitable companies, so it's not as bad as you suggest. I'd also say there are worse freeriders of academic research in the economy than big tech.

I think you got the direction reversed. Here you have a reduction of B(x,y) to the halting problem, which only shows that (a subset of) halting is at least as hard as B(x,y). You need a reduction from collatz to halting to B(x,y) instead. C

Banks are not good businesses for a shareholder. When a bank is in trouble the shareholder tends to be zeroed to protect deposits. PE ratios for bank stocks tend to be bad. You have a lot more leverage being a big client of a bank than its

They did say it didn't work. The overwhelming majority of finance stuff in published work doesn't work, because they're either too simplistic, poorly backtested, or they get exploited too quickly, so beating those doesn'

I said "derivative", not equivalent. Also, TFA used singularly is different from just saying "the article", e.g. when you want to imply RTFA. Within your comment you could see the "F" part was quite out of nowh

I guess the more useful and original one is RTFA, and TFA is a derivative that gets used sometimes.

There's a cookie I took out of a package for a nibble. You could say I'm eating that pack of cookies. Not justifying the sensationalist title though.

I don't think it's due to gender per se (not that this necessarily matters to the trial). More likely SBF just found her to be the easiest to exploit. There's certainly a correlation (a dude would have slightly different reas

Sam Trabucco joined later but made much more. It's strange that she would take such a risk for a meagre 6 million, and presumably knowing about Alameda's finances and profitability. Maybe she was not that into money and had other

I'm pretty boring in person but there are definitely times I know strangers are curious about me. And those tend to be times I really don't want attention.

Disengagement works because not everyone out there is trying to talk to everyone. If you change cultural norms such that every child should talk to strangers a lot, it'll be tiring to have to do this "disengagement" 10 times

Bribery is bad primarily because it asks for someone to abandon their duties for personal gain. As the head of the state, his is responsible for the state, and not more. Here, he asked US to pay the state instead of himself. Whether or not

I also agree it's kind of sad that the best minds are trying to squeeze 1bps of extra profit out of ETF trades or worse, trying to figure out why an option is implying SP500 should be trading half tenth of a cent higher. And I believe

One way to look at is that the more people who can figure out how to make money in a crisis without adding to said crisis, the less severe the crisis becomes. If someone can price distressed corporate bonds better, they will bid higher, and

I think a better analogy can be drawn by just considering the physical version of some things. For IoT, you can say if someone discovers a specific brand of physical lock can be broken in unexpected ways, they should be allowed to communica

What you're saying is privacy. Lack of interoperability is like you uploaded code to github from one computer, and then fail to download it to another because the encryption algorithms or something are not compatible.

Other than the obvious confounding factors, I feel this has to have some cherry picking or selective interpretation of what is a non-violent movement. Almost always there's some non-violent action preceding a violent movement, the ques

Depending on the scale and complexity, if you make no effort to control resource usage, costs grow exponentially, sometimes even without growth in business because the requirements just become more complex. For a certain optimization, you m
