That's slippery slope logic. If the pricing is right at 1s, why pour money and talent into getting it right at 100ms? I'm saying there are negative externalities[1], which are known to cause market inefficiency. Negative ex

Not as a result of trading. You can argue that getting equity pricing right helps companies with their access to capital, but once you have the pricing right at 100ms I don't understand what value HFT firms are adding by pouring money and t

Research points pretty heavily to you being better off buying a basket of index funds rather than playing stock picker.

I like that this innovation is market-driven and introduced as a competing alternative, rather than imposed on existing markets in the form of regulation. It will be interesting to see if this market provides better pricing for non-HFT part

This is a brilliant way to get the attention of HN users. Niggle: some of those are redirect times. BlameStella gets it right if you click through, but the summary data has some bad numbers. For example - www.justspotted redirects to spot

"On To" is a subordinating conjunction, so it should be capitalized. side note: grammatical rules aren't set in stone, they're guidelines to help you achieve clarity -- if the title looks wrong, it probably is.

His solution sounds more like a surrender: just give up on trying to organize data.

Anyone that's self-hosting email care to explain why they're doing it? Seems like something that makes no sense to do internally until you start getting more "enterprisey".

If you bought amazon at the top in 1999, it took 10 years before you broke even on the investment. Not really what I'd call egg on your face.

My biggest takeaways: - a goldman unit with a fiduciary duty to clients passed on the deal - a goldman unit without any such duty is doing the deal - goldman will make money on the deal at almost any valuation (with the ipo) - cli

Maybe. There isn't necessarily a points-based incentive system that will achieve the desired goal here, at least without breaking something else. You can consider points and social norms as combining to form a global incentive system that i

There's an easy solution here - don't answer newbie questions. Their questions are typically less complex, which means some other newbie trying to amass points will take care of it.

You all seem to be intentionally avoiding the fact that facebook has an intrinsic value independent from its market cap. Goldman increased the value of facebook stock by 20%. Directly linking market cap to intrinsic value would require the

It would only have value to you if you were concerned with social justice. (not meant as an insult, but I'm guessing it's not terribly important to many people)

The presumption is that people like to be happy, which I believe is a tautology.

That is a great attitude, but it's pretty orthogonal to any social policy issues addressed by the article.
