I doubt anyone's currently using Julia for the fast path of low latency trading. Usually it goes from FPGAs for sub-milli work, C++ on GPUs then either C++ or Java for multi-milli work. In my experience. I'd expect most of the Jul

There's possibly another, more subtle, interpretation. It may be that the structure of spacetime does not necessarily exhibit this conservation. However, all scientifically observable phenomenon must, by definition, exhibit space, time

As far as i understand it, there no free energy being claimed i.e. they still need to power the drive. What's being claimed is a drive that creates thrust without a reaction (in the Newtonian sense). If true, from a physics point of vi

It's an important topic but I have to question some of your arguments: + no-one's talking about the possibility of people being replaced by robots and software - I presume you missed Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking and a number of oth

KC blew up because someone copied the wrong software to their deployment servers. If Haskell's typesystem has solved that problem then I'm sure it would have a lot more takers. On the flip side, if Jane Street were to screw up I h

If Big Corp has a US patent and Inter Corp is infringing in the US then Big Corp can take them to a US court. If they win then either Inter desists in the US or pays a licence fee (or whatever the court decides). The fact that Inter Corp is

Patents are territorial. By this I mean that you get a patent to cover a territory e.g. the US or EU. If you have, say, a US patent and someone disputes it in the US then your being located somewhere else doesn't help you any.
