I just wanted to confirm so I could document the issue properly. I wasn't sure what the original query was looking for. Thanks for reporting it.

Looking at it from the inside working on search, I see the returns as actually getting bigger and bigger. As Google gets better, people get more confident in issuing more complicated queries, which ups the bar again for the types of things

If that happens it's a bug, and I'd love to have some examples to pass along. I'll make sure they get to the right people. Looking through your search history: https://history.google.com/history/ might h

If you have any example queries I'd love to debug them. You might find them here: https://history.google.com/history/ if you have search history turned on.

They track that number very carefully, but they don't track it for each change to ranking and the people who track that aren't the people who are making launch decisions for ranking.

There's a balance between popularity and quality that we try to be very careful with. Ranking isn't entirely one or the other. It doesn't help to give people a better page if they aren't going to click on it anyways. You

Half of the people in this thread say that they like w3schools, or even if they don't like it they use it all the time. That is sufficient to explain why it ranks well. Now imagine that the average person issuing these queries is less

You certainly care what the price on the other side is if you are getting the spread or some fraction of it. That is what determines the preference ordering to run the algorithm.

"A stable matching algorithm" is the real trick here. Easy. Assume all orders are limit orders, because non-limit orders don't need to exist. Perform the Gale-Shapely stable marriage algorithm http://www.cs.cmu.e

Can you elaborate more on why hour round trip times wouldn't be acceptable? That isn't self-evident to me.

If all trades are executing at the same time, what do you gain by knowing prices at finer intervals than that? The things you are hedging against would operate the same way.

Below a certain time accuracy, all trading is zero sum. The only reason to be able to trade in milliseconds is to beat someone else. No value is created. Suppose instead that exchanges buffered all orders for, say, 1 hour. At the end of the
