What makes you think that? I'm not convinced of either of your suppositions, i.e. that 1) current fluctuations are caused by large bitcoin owners who dictate the price, and 2) that having many small investors would lower volatility (th

That's the case with anything in large amounts. I can say I have $147M in Microsoft stock, but that doesn't mean I can sell the stock suddenly in one minute without making the price tank.

I don't think philosophy has much to do here. Volatility is a financial term with a precise, mathematical definition.

I think it's common to work 9:00-19:00, 9:30-20:00. That's my schedule (working at a bank). Sometimes I also have to connect in the middle of the night if there's a problem in some other time zone. I haven't ever heard o

This comment has nothing to do with the article and the debate below has been rehashed many, many times. Let's not bring it up on every news vaguely related to Japan.

I don't understand why it's sound. The order still has to go all the way to the exchange. Why is it better to spend 50 ms to get the market data, 1 ms to do the decision, then 50 ms to send the order (middle of ocean to exchange),

If something goes wrong, the rest of the dataset will be missing anyway. I don't think it matters much if 25000 points are missing or 25100.

Auto vectorization can be impressive, but it applies to hard numerical code, not so much in regular code bases. I regularly debug assembly in my job, and in the vast majority of cases it's a fairly straightforward translation of the C&

Someone mentioned a while ago how a common pattern of comments on programming forums is to take the most literal and uncharitable interpretation of a post, and reply to explain how this extreme view is mistaken. I've never seen anyone

There has never been a one-to-one mapping (rather one-to-many), but it's still perfectly possible to transform C into assembly by hand. It's not even that difficult.

Interns don't need to be efficient (they're cheap and disposable), and they don't do very intellectually taxing work, in general. Think making powerpoints, not designing investment strategies or coding. There's little in

I use Keepass, it's a local DB but I store a copy on dropbox for safety and convenience. You may not want to do that if you're really paranoid.

I don't see what's specifically American about that. It's far worse in Asia, for one. I imagine it may have been better in Fuller's younger days.
