   This post will get buried in this discussion, but I actually worked for a HFT company trying to break into all sort of algorithmic trading (and made a small fortune doing so). The topic question is: 1. Loaded question 2. Uninformed question

   I apologize but I do not track controversies that much as I don't have the time for all that. Also, I'm a programmer, not a biochemist, so: If I go to wikipedia, I get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lust

    And that is a normal life; and one worthy of aspiring to. We have to strive for that balance every day. Otherwise people burn out, drop out from what they loved to do, etc. It clashes with capitalism, but at some level you have to draw the

    The inevitable upcoming impas is that less people have to work, but it's a norm to punish and look down at the unemployed. So, with the unemployment rates rising everywhere, mostly due to technology displacing labor, what does the futu

    It shouldn't. But choosing to subscribe to established concepts (money will make me happy, marrying rich will make me happy, etc), is the easiest way to deal with the question: "what makes me tick, and what makes me happy, and wha
