So why don't you go and buy a 1,000 domains? Presumably you'll be confident you'll get at least $10/year on average from them all....

HFT: provides liquidity and increases market efficiency (suppresses pricing inconsistencies) Domain squatting: allows market to set the value of a domain. Not sure what's wrong with either of these, or why they are any worse than any other

Why is it not morally correct? He is just speculating as speculators do in all different industries. And kudos to him - it's technically non-trivial, carries a lot of risk and clearly requires a lot of business acumen to work.

Sure, I realise the fruit-picker example is extreme. But it was the sub-prime / alt-a mortgage market that imploded with default rates in some pools hitting 90%. But yes of course everyone jumped on the bandwagon across all of society - I'm

You're correct. It just means BATS is processing a lot of orders. I'm guessing LIFFE, LSE etc process far more. The articles conclusion is comepletey erreneous - this has nothing to do with HFT. Edit: And wrt to retail investors "competing"

This. This. This. (Sorry to be so reddit). But seriously the joys of discovering a new city is trial and error. Why on earth follow the cyber crowds when the actual journey of finding new places - whether they turn out to be terrible or tre

My favorite: Absolute GASH Won't work on a rooted DHD. Or any rooted fone for that matter. Why? Its my fone and my money....poofs. I guess a banking app by Barclays will be the same. Don't bother with this one.

Yes it's a leveraged product but that doesn't mean you need to take any more risk. You can put on the equivalent risk of any physical trade. Tne only difference is you're not putting down the money upfront. And of course you can put on stop

Well gifs still have two main use-cases: - with the rise of AJAX a gif is basically the default format for the animated "loading" spinners - crappy low-res instant versions of youtube videos Is there an alternative format?

The analysis presented here assumes proper randomisation of the deck. In reality this is extremely unlikely as most people are pretty bad shufflers. Coupled with the fact that decks are manufactured with cards ordered, I bet a number of car

Hmm. I see a few practical issues with this. I need to keep a fire burning the whole time? Not practical for many (most) homes and also will result in a lot of wasted heat.
