The vast majority of trading is done digitally these days. For an overview of how much flows through each venue, CBOE has this nice summary page. https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/market_share/

Confusingly AMEX and ARCA also have a listings business, but that's also owned by NYSE or at least owned by ICE which owns NYSE. IEX tried. I think they had a few listings for a while, but it just didn't work out. LTSE really want

It very well might be a listings play, but I have yet to see any new venue really crack the "listings code". IEX has tried. I guess CBOE BATS has had some success? LTSE wants too as well, but not sure they had success either.

Ok, so could we agree that then doubling down on even more breaking changes is likely to create more codebases stuck at these "evolutionary bottlenecks"? Whenever I hear someone say - "Gee, the only path ahead is a breaking c

I think the idea of "when incompatible changes must me made" has caused much harm and damage to various language projects. I'm specifically thinking of the damage done as part of the python 2->3 changes and to a lesser ext

I think your logic comes up a bit short because you are basically saying that a bank was accomodating a customer who was generally unloved and then the customer just pulled their funds out because...? I think SVB's actual failure was t

There's a chance this is an example of Poe's Law. But I'm unsure!

I think those comments are intended to be a satirical evaluation of what I said above. Poe's Law strikes again?

I know that I am in the minority in these parts. But I'm glad to see these banks pull out of these net-zero related efforts. For me, and again I know I'm in the minority here, net-zero puts a huge cramp on productivity and buildin

Chris Arnade, who is the author of the article, has been writing about some of these topics for almost a decade now. He is worth checking out.

I think the struggle with modules has much more to do with the complexity of the problem at hand. I think the solution looks very easy should one be willing to dispense with large parts of the ecosystem. But if your goal is to keep the ecos

I must admit my cultural observation about those cohorts is they are ideologically docile and easily molded into whatever the establishment deems the correct ideology to uphold. As one data point, I offer up their penchant for policing soon

I'm a runner and I'd have no hope of keeping those airpod pros in my ears if it weren't for the airpod hooks that I have. There's a variety of inexpensive ones on Amazon that you can try out. I've had good luck with

The Bilestoad would have been utterly incredible if it had embraced the mockingboard. Then again, the slightly labored and off-key fur elise coming out of that sad little speaker while you hacked away at your enemy had a creepy charm.

You suggestion below is getting downvoted which isn't that surprising given the general tilt of HN. But I think there is a related question that's a bit better to ask. What are the social, political, cultural and intellectual prec

I think your phrase "obligate customers" is doing a lot of rationalization for what amounts to emotionally driven destruction. "I'm unhappy! I'm entitled to something! Gimme gimme gimme". Is all I hear.

I would describe America's support for Israel and Ukraine as rather restrained or half-hearted at best. So in that sense its a retreat.

Some good ideas in there I think. But I think unless you can shoe-horn them into the existing MX record and get piecemeal buy-in, the results will be quite similar to what we see with IPv6 vs. IPv4. No?
