Just like you can go to companies that don't have open office plans? Sometimes these pernicious fashion trends spread so far and wide that in practice you're stuck with it

It's really sad. We already have an incentive to game other people's perceptions to get an easy promotion but this takes it to a whole new level, and seems to reward the trickster political over the people trying to just make an i

It depends on what the edge is. Presumably you're competing for a sub 3us edge but they're not all like that. For slower edges Java might be a better idea.

It really depends on the edge that needs to be captured. If we're trading a low latency edge in SP500 E-Minis, then not only is C++ better but it might be the only option to successfully capture that edge. On the other hand it we have

True but I feel that the market maker label gets applied pretty loosely nowadays, couldve been a firm that mixes in a lot of intraday position taking trades that blew up

That's fair enough. They did say that three former Black employees made false allegations though, so there was some specificity there. Although it would be been better to outline what those allegations were and why they were false, in

Good point. Let's see if CB follows up with evidence and details after the specificities of the NYT story come to light, but I agree that the lack of detail here is a bit suspect

by hnracer 6y ago
Why not? They would've had intel from current employees who were interviewed about the likely contents, and they claim that a number of the allegations that are likely to be published are false. If I was either innocent or guilty of su

Let's assume that CB is really the entirely innocent and maligned party here. In such a world, how would their response have differed?

Pretty much. They're going to pay the price for not being on-board with the woke agenda. We all knew this was coming. I do not expect any good faith coverage from the NYT (on any wokeness related topic they have no remaining journalist

There's a big distinction there and I agree that the former has more moral authority. But I don't agree that the latter is necessarily bad faith. A lot of the motivation behind the latter is to criticise the perceived sanctimony a

This was the basis of the scepticism towards Dropbox in that infamous HN thread. In the end if I'm either an individual consumer or a business consumer I just want my problem solved really well and not have to always build a custom sol

Just realized that the eye is a counterexample to their assumption. Took three billion years to evolve but is easy to do so as we've seen it evolve independently many times.

They can't remove real liquidity because then the individual posting an order will realize. They can't add fake liquidity because then the individual who attempts to lift the ghost order will realize. So how can they do this witho

High leverage means less counterparty risk because the max loss is the capital residing on the exchange which is much less than the position size. As far as mechanisms there's auto deleveraging and insurance fund. Professional traders

by hnracer 6y ago
It's not an apt analogy, these are standalone institutions without systemic ties to other parts of the economy, and someone who blows up crypto margin trading is only hurting themselves (or the insurance fund which is sunk cost anyway)

This was downvoted but it's actually true. Most volume is speculation driven and every speculator prefers the less regulated high leverage derivative venues. Regulations have hurt Coinbase's volume in the exact same way that Japan

It's not plausible. They don't play a role in "covering orders" aside from providing settlement. That's the job of market makers, who will be less willing to participate after outages. The outages aren't relate

Precisely. Something taking astoundingly long to evolve isn't conclusive evidence that it's highly improbable (although it might suggest it). It could very well be highly probable. One reason is as you mention is prerequisites. An

This is cool. What if the median is something like 0.03 and we know the order of magnitude. Would it be better to increment/decrement by 0.01 instead of 1? Also, can we initiate the filter to a sensible nonzero value instead of zero to

I would've liked to see this quality of journalism regarding the recent election fraud allegations. With some exceptions the most common style has been to dismiss it as bad faith and cite election authorities who say there's insuf

You can't beat their model because they don't include all the data they use in the competition dataset. It's a highly sanitized and simplified toy problem used for hiring and marketing. They don't even tell you what the

And almost everyone will agree with you, as long as you're not using the latter as a strawman for arguments that advocate no such agenda.

"conservatives are silent because they don't seem to care as much." It's certainly the case that they don't seem to care as much, given that they're less outspoken, but is there any evidence that they actuall
