It's actually very important. AirBNB opens up a renting forum to the world, which creates a bigger population of users, creating a bigger pool of reviews, which leads to legitimacy. Let the people decide which places are worthy of staying a

I guess I mean another law that needs to be changed, not necessarily abolished. The law should be updated so that people can legal advertise their places on AirBNB. Not doing so would be neglecting a stream of revenue that could be benefici

This article misses the big point that there is a new CEO who may make different decisions regarding how to integrate a new company. Having a new CEO is enough to change the direction of a company (look at Apple), whether for good or bad. O

A lot of those messages might not be trades, but actually update messages to resting orders.

I agree. The speed at which markets respond to news reveals how efficient the system works. Flash-crashes and what not are either caused by human programming errors or it is simply the right reaction to new information about the environment

I don't know if "destroy" is the right word, although that can happen. It has the ability to act extremely quickly, which is actually what we want. We want markets to respond to new market conditions quickly so that we know the information

But they aren't useful because they are very bad at predicting. There are other tools that are more suited to model the complex and emergent properties of individual actions leading a market place and what its conditions may be.

Not a good sign for Apple. This plan may work just fine, but definitely speaks to the recent struggles. Also, they believe they will be around for 30 years. I think it would need another Steve Jobs to keep it innovative for that long.
