Most people don't want to dialogue more with people who don't share their values, they'd much rather find people who do share their values. We are tribal animals, the current dissent in this country is a symptom of our triba

Bitcoin exchanges are full of manual TA chart traders, to them everyone running algo's is a HFT; context matters, you can't compare the nascent tech in Bitcoin to a modern Wall Street exchange. If you're algo trading as fast

On a modern exchange it does mean that because that's what it takes to trades as fast as possible, on a low tech bitcoin exchange where such speeds are not possible, it takes much less; it's HFT none the less. It's still comp

In the real world, that's illegal. In the bitcoin world, it will be eventually but until then, looking at the order book is a waste of time, it's all fake.

Terrible plan, even if it double or tripled in a year you're not going to retire from that and given its history it's entirely possible it'll be half the current value next year.

That doesn't mean there's no HFT; automated trading as fast as the exchanges allow is HFT.

Sure it is, it was survivor bias when you selected the 16.

Those jobs exist due to regulatory capture and the difficulty of changing tax law in a bitterly divided nation, just because a few industries found a way to use government to prevent progress and automation doesn't mean progress and au

When should people attempt to regulate AI, when it's too late? Stopping a problem before it happens is called foresight. And if you pay attention to the press, it's not about killing us all, it's about disrupting the world,

Looking for top performers is always invoking survivor bias. It's a classic data snooping issue where the common sense approach is exactly wrong, but it'll sell a lot of books and it'll convince people who you know what you&

And they would be right to do so, because "rights" are not inherent, they're simply social agreements and are thus always up for negotiation. Nature doesn't provide people rights, people do.

Anyone does not mean most, you may infer he meant something different but I prefer responding to what people actually say rather than what I think they meant as I'm not a mind reader and neither is anyone else and much disagreement c

And back to moving the goal post. The discussion is about where the dollar's value primarily comes from, not about whether energy is more than just a commodity never mind that energy != oil as oil only makes up about ~4% of world ener

Agree, thus Linux will live a long time.

There are two major mobile operating systems, iOS and Android, both based on Unix clones, one on BSD and one on Linux. Mobile has dramatically increased Linux usage; what do you think Android is?

You're on HN, please don't assume only you understand the complexities of the world. Everything is more complicated than one simple thing, but you don't get to level that critique after claiming the value comes from oil. W

It's the Kernel, the gates need to be kept else fools mess things up, thank god for Linus.

Why on earth would they want to provide free private repo's, that's something they charge for... ON PURPOSE. They aren't taking "forever", they're simply not going to do that.

Linux will likely outlive all of us. Network effects are massively strong for operating systems, we've been stuck with the same basic 3 for decades and that's likely to stay the same.

Kernel development shouldn't have a low bar, it should have a very very high one. Anyone that finds email a high bar for communication doesn't belong in Kernel development.

The dollar doesn't get its value from oil, it gets its value from being the sole currency accepted for your tax bill, i.e. its value derives from its tax base. That is why fiat works, it's what "by fiat" means, and why

It's a server, you don't put databases on non RAID drives anyway, that'd be silly as the loss of a single drive would lose all your data. RAID setup isn't an option, it's how things are done by default for servers

That doesn't make them not real, it makes them color shifted to a visible spectrum so we can see them with our very limited human vision which sees only a tiny band of the EM range.

You completely ignored the point being made, a society that sucks for most people where the benefits flow to only a few is going to be seen as unfair by all those people who aren't benefiting from it and when that gets too extreme, i

> Why is this a problem, as long as everyone is not worse off? First, humans are animals with an innate sense of fairness, it's a problem because it's not fair, and when too many people feel things are too unfair, war results.

The risk is the same risk any other trader takes, they predict price will go one direction based on data they've seen elsewhere and it turns out they're wrong, or the misjudged the volume. HFT is not risk free, you're claimi
