I think your definition of HFT is very narrow. Many companies that use the term HFT are not involved in the type of activities described in The Big Short .

From what I can tell, dealerships are not owned by the car manufacturers. These guys are not dumb and will adapt. Other car manufacturers are borrowing the Tesla reservation model (see Ford Bronco, GM electric Hummer). They are offering ex

Some people point to Tesla's margins, which are very high by industry standards. However, IMO these margins will decrease as real competition ramps up and the market turns further from performance/enthusiast to true mass market v

It would be fascinating if we end up using green energy to synthesize hydrocarbons for carbon sequestration w/ the potential for an energy reserve.

This contest seems like the equivalent of the "inventor's hotline" infomercial. If it identifies one promising new approach that they can iterate on, it has probably paid for itself. It also serves as a good PR and recruiti

It would be interesting to cross reference covid morbidity with lactose intolerance (ie. people likely to avoid milk).

Clearly, I must not have articulated myself well enough, since you took away the exact opposite of my point: I have heard the suggestion of inflated death numbers within the US in casual conversation multiple times and I frequently refer to

Some people have argued that hospitals are skewing the numbers to inflate the number of people that are dying of Covid-19 vs other causes, or that these are people that would died anyways. Neither of these arguments are supported by the FT

I recently spent 30 minutes figuring out why the Bluetooth pairing process wasn't giving me the pin number I needed to pair my new wireless keyboard. Ugh. Eventually, after searching through forums, I updated the right modules to get

The danger in 'clear and present danger' of yelling in the crowded theater is specifically and intentionally causing panic where people are likely to get hurt. As others have mentioned, though, it's complicated. The origina

I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I was comparing the amplification of social media with the concept of yelling in a theater.

There are limits to free speech which have been long established. The clear and present danger doctrine describes limits to free speech, in that you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater. When/if the amplification po

This reminds me of the home-built garage door opener that popped up here a few months ago. When it comes to safety devices, there are literally man-decades of expertise that has gone into these devices. It is never a good idea to rely o

Physicians are just people like everyone else. In fact, many of them are far more concentrated in terms of education, social circle, and free time. Smart people are very good at coming up with rationalizations and justifications for the th

Likely the biggest change for the next year will be strategy for fighting Covid. Expect vast expansion of test and trace, bigger push for mask mandates, but also earlier reopening of public spaces and a sharper recovery in second half of 2

A voting machine can produce a printed ballot which is scanned by a separate counting machine. This can be checked for consistency by the voter. Also, you can have more than one scanning machine to verify the ballots are counted properly.

Yes, cable adapters are plentiful. There are also dongles, but the two ports are too close together to fit dongles in both ports (at least in the Raspberry Pi 4B).

It would be great if a mini-HDMI to HDMI breakout board was available for purchase. It seems some people are working on it ( https://easyeda.com/eddperks/RasPi4-HDMI-Breakout )

Every penny of cost had to be an issue. The RJ-45 jack doesn't have link/activity LEDs.

I ordered the Pi 400 for my son along with a cheap 2-port HDMI switch. He has a remote desktop setup with a Chromebook from school. I'm hoping this makes it easy and convenient to use for tinkering.

The thing that made old 80s computers so compelling for kids was the simplicity: fewer choices for peripherals, less things to connect, cartridge system for easy launching, easy to restore to a known state if you mess something up (typical

Or, maybe not. Nobody knows! Investors have seemingly been pricing in the current consensus of a recovery in late 2021 or early 2022. There is a lot of money on the sidelines willing to buy dips. We might go sideways for a while unless t

I have heard someone describe the US as being an 'attention economy' rather than 'information economy'. There is too much data being thrown at us to absorb it all. This has led people to increasingly rely on third par

Sound advice. I would advise designing with unique pointers first and minimize shared pointers where possible. Shared pointers have a smell. Smart pointers have reference counting overhead. Unique pointers communicate ownership, while s

It seems that templates are becoming more of the core of C++ abstractions as the language picks up functional idioms and people are moving away from overusing/abusing object oriented designs. Concepts are making templates much accessi

I hadn't heard of Charlie Hunter before, but he appears to be quite talented. Apparently, he's known for playing custom guitars with 7 or 8 strings, with simultaneous guitar and a bass parts. This is the first video I pulled up
