pb re Bluffdale

As a follow up to the Utah Data Center I want to add that this site was not necessarily used for the market manipulation. It could have. I saw someone posit that CERN was the all-knowing super comp that controls it all.

Would not surprise me if true.

The best site for information about the algo strats used in the mkts is:

Eric is a great guy, no BS and to the point. This has been the reality of our mkts since the late 60's. FIRST, COBOL, FORTRAN….you know the names.

If you all remember Y2K and 'our' software was not equipped to handle four digits for the change-over. The issue was that Greenspan's ROOT A program was not designed with four-digit changeovers in mind. You see the fallacy of operating a system that in late 1960's was hopelessly doomed to fail because the programmer wrote it with only 10 year increments.

CAn read about ROOT A here:

(Bix's site good for information but imo the predictions on which crypto is better than others is dangerous-I fully support them but prefer to wait until all actors un-masked)

On a side note I had the honor of touring the bridge of a well-known ACC in soCal. Pic of Pepe in CO chair soon.
