Your argument boils down to they're trading too much, it scares me, make them stop. That's not a logical argument. Whether they're economically beneficial or not is simply not relevant, people have a right to buy and sell st

HFT should be presumed innocent until proven guilty; the question isn't to defend HFT, it's to show it's actually a problem to begin with. Those wanting to regular HFT really have no argument that makes sense other than &quo

I think you misunderstand, "New Math"[1] was a thing from the 60's, he clearly took it as an adjective talking about common core, the current "new math", but not the same as the "New Math" bitwize was sayi
