Liquidity begets liquidty, so it makes economic sense for exchanges to consolidate in a completely free market.

A sibling comment links to the research, if you're interested in knowing more, but there are ways of making latency matter less. E.g. with a blind auction, if you hide the order book as it's being built (so you get no indication o

You can impose a floor beyond which lower latencies no longer provide an advantage by replacing the current continuous auction market with a periodic, blind auction. That is, have a market where orders accummulate in the order book and ever

s#s/his/her#s/his/their# also works and avoids awkward escaping. The first symbol after s is used as the separator. Works in vim, at least. In other words: s%s/s\\/his\\/her/s\\/his\\/their&

That doesn't counter what the OP said. The EU can empower citizens with anti tech corporate action while also dropping the ball whean dealing with European car manufacturers. It's not either/or.

This only works in tech, as it is a seller's market. The situation is very different if you're looking for a non-tech job.

They need non-Chrome browsers to exist, to avoid accusations of a monopoly. Chromium is arguably a strategy around this, where you can have a bunch of browsers using the same (Google controlled) infrastructure. Safari is an exception, since

I don't think that's accurate - your example is closer to asking a programmer to take a typing test and hire them based on wpm. Both are hitting keys on a keyboard after all. I agree that, if you're hiring someone who will pr
