  9. Sounds familiar on School's In For Summer At Udacity · · Score: 1

    are they factoring in that the automobile drivers may have much, much, much... much more free time than a "horse and buggy" driver?

    Seriously consider the possibility that an equestrian driver may be having to feed, stable, and shoe all at once, with attention diversified versus someone driving a car who may only be putting in gas and driving.

  12. Re:System is broken. on High-Frequency Traders Are the Ultimate Hackers, Says Mark Cuban · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Oh I read the comment. I just felt you framed it in far too broad a time. By hand, I can reverse a trade in a minute, or even 2 or 3. That isn't HFT. HFT is more like 30,000 trades in a minute. There are instances when HFT has gone so fast that they have executed trades on quotes that didn't exist until the future: http://www.nanex.net/Research/fantaseconds/fantaseconds.html

  19. Re:What is the tax rate on ill-gotten gains? on IRS Employee Stole Data To Forge $8M In Fraudulent Returns · · Score: 1

  20. Re:Smells like hyperbole on Foreign Data Unsafe From US Patriot Act, Says American Law Firm · · Score: 1

    We'll, if we don't get those emails, we will have to assume the worse and assassinate the scientist, blockade Iran and send drones in to blow up any alleged facilities where he was working.
