Can't we automate sales?

It surprises me that there's a unique 12 digit answer to this. If you bet proportion f of your income every round, then if you win n coin flips, shouldn't you have (1+2f)^n (1-f)^(1000-n) £? For a given f, it takes a…
Responding to your edit: I don't think his point was that 20,000 was too big to fail. The point is that 20,000 is too big, period. Any company over a certain size (certainly way less than 20,000) institutes internal…

> Jesus, what a tool you are. This sounds like the start of a pretty angry prayer.
Eliminating the subpenny rule sounds like a good idea, but it wouldn't address the advantage of responding to news quickly, would it?
There is an obvious problem with HFT: it gives an advantage to lower latency analysis and communication, leading to huge amounts of wasted effort getting faster pipes and software, co-locating automated trading, etc.…
Now let's see it turn around and go up the hill.
Obscurity is underrated.
They're claiming the release was accidental. Not the removal.
Not to distract too much from how terrible the subject matter of the patent is, but can someone explain why they decided to put the "system for" claims separate from the "method for" claims? There is some small fee…

> What this explains is "spooky action at a distance". So what's the explanation for why almost all interactions that we perceive seem to not be spooky or at a distance?
I agree with you. My point was: you used the wrong word. :)
> The nature of torture aside, taking the life of a sentient being is the ultimate violation of its rights. I don't see how any act less than killing can be considered morally worse than killing. Why?

Implicit in my characterization "copyright for ideas" is that this proposal will somehow extend copyright, as it's currently understood, to cover ideas. I understand your point that copyright as it exists today does not…
Now you're the one who's ignored that this was hypothetical. My point was that if we go ahead with your proposal, such that patent protection becomes about preventing copying work rather than (possibly accidentally)…
