Defending against high-frequency attacks | Quantum Frontiers



We could regulate away HFT, but we wouldn’t be able to get rid of the underlying problems people point to unless we got rid of markets altogether. As with any new industry, there are aspects of HFT that should be better monitored and regulated, but we should have level-heads and diverse data points as we continue this discussion. As with most important problems, I believe the ultimate solution here lies in educating the public. Or in other words, this is my plug for Python classes for all children!!

The Daily Reckoning by Bill Bonner



For example, most of modern economists are dead wrong about how an economy works. They think it is a simple machine; all they have to do is to adjust some knobs and levers to make it run better. If it runs too hot, they turn down the dials on fiscal and monetary stimulus. It if sputters and coughs, they turn them up But what really happens? They misinterpret...they wait too long or act too soon...and they invariably make the situation worse by sending the wrong signals at just the wrong time.
Most modern economists think the key to economic growth is consumer spending. This is obviously wrong too. It's not spending that causes prosperity, it's saving. Spending is the result of economic progress, not the cause of it. Still, they think that if they can just get the American consumer to spend money he doesn't have on things he doesn't need, somehow, the world will be a better place. The real problem now too much private sector debt in the anglo-saxon economies. But economists think they can solve the problem by adding even more debt in the public sector!

Millennials will continue to shape the consumer market for decades to come. If your company isn't staying ahead of their consumer values, you'll be left out in the cold. Instead of trying to make it work alongside the old American Dream, push forward with our generation, redefining a new dream we can all buy into.
