These HFT's only get trades when they offer a better prices than anyone else. That should be the end of the discussion. The fact that there is such vicious competition over the margin is a good thing.
Not when the HFT-er can offer a price and cancel it before anyone can bindingly accept the price just to see the reaction and adjust their offer price accordingly.
In the US, Boeing can read the laser-etched serial number from a screw or bolt and literally audit it backwards to every step from mine to factory to delivery. In China, you'd be laughed at if you even tried to do that, because auditing only works when the auditors themselves are trustworthy.
If you take your car to another country, the gasoline quadruples in price, the miles per month your car can drive reduces by 90% and there is a 50% chance that the roads in the other country are not compatible with your car.
Yes, we have that already, it is called the United Kingdom.
Except that it's not. It is paying a flat fee for access to a limited resource (a data stream with so many bps capacity) for a limited time (typically by the month).
That is one of the ways they use a game engine to gamify/monetize stuff like airport security in Neal Stephenson's REAMDE. Except I think they used orcs.
Maybe if they advertised to pedestrians that every time you make a car, or line of cars, brake or stop you cause it to waste gas having to accelerate to get back up to speed.
Really play up on all that tree-hugging guilt. A poster with someone jaywalking in front of a VW diesel and birds dropping dead out of the sky.
Yeah, that'd do it. It is San Francisco after all.
How about this for a game mechanic. If the level differential is too great penalize the higher level player with negative experience. Real world analog - while your average MLB player might be fantastic at slow-pitch softball, it's not going to help him hit a 95 mph fast ball.
I believe the idea that being a liberal equates with having an open mind was formally disproven shortly after we were told disagreeing with President Obama is prima facie evidence of being a racist.
If you consider "not from Texas" a race then I suppose the average level in racism in Texas as compared to the other 49 states might be considered legendary, otherwise not so much.

That means by waiting nearly 2 days this post is 28% more creative. Thanks science!
Can we assume the GP was implying that if the 30% "Apple" tax in the Apple App Store is good enough for Apple then it should be good enough for Apple?

Knock off aeronautics parts are a thing now too.
They invented the transporters on Star Trek because the (practical) special effects for using a shuttle was too expensive for every episode.
Does Al Gore get to keep the $500M he got for selling Current TV to them a few years ago? Al Gorzeera?
You should get that cough checked out.

I would have thought that 100% of his results would be 100.
What you get out of a school is equlivlant to what you put into it.
So you are saying it is like a sewer.

Since no one has covered it yet here is your obligatory XKCD refernce http://xkcd.com/378/
You mean like a Shmuzzle (tm).
No by detecting the presence of polyester fibers used in police uniforms. As in the FuzzBuster from the Cannonball Run movies.
Well if "only" criminals had guns, your police might have a little difficulty executing that arrest warrant.

Only if you say the magic word. For any of you who just heard a strange wooshing sound, its "sudo".
which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the cost of repairs.
Not to mention the cost of regular maintenance.
The first three (but especially number 2) are hard to determine before you even try a game.

+1 Informative, Thanks.

30% cost improvement per year 19 works out to about $500,000/kWh in 1969.
