High-speed trading on a "market" that allows ~10 transactions/second max?


Just like high frequency trading in the gold market doesn't require physically handing bars of gold for physical dollar bills at high speed, neither does high frequency trading bitcoin require any high speed blockchain transactions.


Great analogy.


The exchanges in question are not implemented on top of any blockchain, so no


All this is offchain and completely internal to the exchanges.


The Contract Killer by Andy Clarke gets some good feedback:

I wish I could easily star gists from mobile, I always see these kind of things when reading hn on rest break with just phone.


I've been using the share button in the browser, then choosing save to inbox. That is of course if you are using google inbox.


I would typically use pocket for this, but then half of the gists I need to remember are in one place, and half (the ones I've starred on desktop) are in another, so it's not a good solution. The alternative is to completely use pocket, and not use github stars, but in any case, since I like github as a service, the comment was more of a hint to any random githubber who may read browse hn and want to do an easy modification.


I like plain english contracts but I find the casual almost jokey tone of it in some places gives the wrong impression.


Regulate a free service?

I wonder if any G Suite customers had their accounts closed.

Is the electricity generation clean? Unlikely in SEA.


> Is the electricity generation clean? Unlikely in SEA.

No doubt true, but possibly the wrong question to be asking. Is a coal fired plant outside of Jakarta going to produce less pollution than all those buses and cheap motorcyles generating their pollution right where all the people are?


Indonesia uses 95% fossil fuels: oil (46%), coal (31%), and gas (18%). https://www.adb.org/sites/default/files/publication/178039/i...

I don't think they really cared about that though.. this was a pilot project


Papier looks interesting.

I've been using a blank new-tab:

While it's less offensive than Google Glasses, this doesn't look like "normal" glasses.
