HFT...The Devil You Know

• An interesting fictional read here about how HFT can be abused (used?).
• Rumor confirmed...HAL9000 has been converted to HFT algo-bot...click here to view the control panel.
• Election nears...what's on people's minds below.  What?  No global warming?

• Ain't this grand...the UK is considering initiating a "PAYE" (Pay As You Earn) system.  In other words, the employer sends your paycheck to the government, then the government takes their take and transfers the remainder back to you via a bank transfer.  that way they can raise taxes, immediately, if necessary.  Soooo...the truth is finally out...you work for the government!!!  Modern day slavery.  Think about it!  Please!  If the government touches your paycheck first, they effectively, determine what is theirs and what is yours.  Cool, huh?
