rigging the market

HFT funds aren't trading as much anymore, because there aren't enough humans to trade with. Algobots just quote each other prices. As Salmon points out, there were 280,000 quotes in a 17-minute span to trade the EFZ back in September 2012. But there were zero actual trades during that time. It's no surprise then that HFT funds are desperate for any kind of competitive advantage. So, like Red Auerbach suggested, they cheat. Now, what they do is strictly legal, but that doesn't make the game any less rigged. The Wall Street Journal reports that HFT funds buy early access to data from third-party distributors—everything from corporate earnings to the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing survey. They're getting the numbers just fractions of a second early, but that's more than enough in the world of high-frequency trading. - High-Speed Trading Isn't About Efficiency—It's About Cheating

милые непристойности

Величавая дикость прежнего времени исчезла без следа; вместо гигантов, сгибавших подковы и ломавших целковые, явились люди женоподобные, у которых были на уме только милые непристойности. - История одного города, 1869

good riddance

забавно, что lenta.ru эту новость выложила в качестве главной, в самом верху - и тут же спрятала среди других новостей, как и остальные газеты. только ria.ru по-прежнему сверху держит.

The God decision

The God decision - глупости какие. в этом комментарии отмечена главная проблема: The only answer offered is a shrug of the shoulders and a: ‘well, this is what I happen to think is reasonable, so I guess it's fine if people want to think that’.

ну и саамое главное вообще не упомянуто. это ведь все вовсе не только к религии относится.

место погребения

К. Гамсун, Место погребения
перевод Аллы Шараповой

-- Ну, прощайте, друзья! – объявлю гостям, -
Дайте отдых бедным моим костям,
Пусть приляжет былое тело
Под стволы, под лиственный бугорок.
-- Кто же листья притащит? – Настанет срок -
Ветер сделает это дело.
