Generally, it's not about front-running normal people. Instead its racing other HFTs. Either a race to capture arbitrage opportunities, or to update your orders on one market based on trades made in another market. The aim of the game

I think an ideal system has a marginal tax rate that decreases with income, with an effective tax rate that increases over time. A simplified version of this: - two tax brackets, 60% tax over all income below 40 000, 40% tax over all inco

If someone argues: "cats are bad at rodent control because they spend very little time each day catching mice" that might be missing the point. But a better analogy might be "cats are bad at rodent control because they spend

"Hey, your tail light is out. Won't give you a ticket this time, but please do get it fixed". Is neither harassement nor intimidation. But it does remind people that these things are noticed, and that failing to fix a taillig

Preventing crime and defending the authority of the state are quite different. Plenty of protests that challenge the authority of the state are completely legal. The state will not lose much authority if laws broken behind the front door of

So the job of police is (or at least should include) not crime fighting, but beating some sense into the underbelly of society? You talk about preventing kids from growing up and becoming bad people, but consider what it does to a kid (or a

Advertising does not axiomatically need to be personalized to be seen and useful. An advertising platform that did not personalize the adverts could still create valuable advert placement. They would need attribution of conversions in order

by rocqua 3y ago
Attribution is not about personalization. It's about proving to advertisement customers that their ads were seen and were useful. This still involves a big privacy breach. But it will not "blast you with ads that attack your deepe

You plumb two pipes through the element that are completely separate. Then you enable or disable flow through the pipes depending on the state of the element. No mixing, no loss to the surrounding material. Though this depends on good heat
643.
by rocqua 3y ago
It sounds like they are physically moving the element between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir. Apply the field, and move to the hot side to disapate heat. Then remove fron hot side, release the field, and absorb heat on the cool side.

The latency check is usually not sensitive enough to prevent a car being stolen from the drive-way from a relayed key that lies near the front door. For reference 20 meters is about 66 nano-seconds.

by rocqua 3y ago
The modern versions of these keys cannot be cloned, they are challenge response. So you need to relay the challenge from the key, and then relay the response from the key back to the car. This is often used by thiefs who bring the relay clo

Not rolling should help a lot. Also, having the price set by continuous arbitrage instead of discrete auctions might reduce slippage. I recall the futures were trading at quite the discount to real bitcoin prices.

Interesting, I had heard that Ireland was still exporting potatoes during the famine. The article you sent paints a more nuanced picture. Also, for other readers, the trade balance didn't just switch because of dropping exports, import

Ireland was a colony of Britain. The economic system of Britain was much more concerned with extracting value from its colony than it was in caring about the people in its colony.

Isn't the actual calculations of e.g. integrals the least useful part of calculus for non-stem students? Instead the basic concepts are where the easily accessible value lies. Teaching tricks without teaching the concepts not only fail

The valuable part of calculus to me was understanding the concepts of limits, differentiation, integration, and a tiny bit of differential equations. Learning how to actually solve integrals or differential equations was useless other than
