Obama is pushing 85% chance of winning now, so that part he's probably clear on. 440 electoral college votes is pretty much impossible, however.

Honestly, if you have to resort to ET to help you figure out the intersection of two straight lines, you might want to think about a different field of endeavour.

No, we're not. An ice age is coming down on us no matter what we do, short of pulling every drop of oil and every speck of coal up out of the ground and burning it.

You burned the equivalent of two lumps of coal to generate the electricty to make that post. So I'm not sure how seriously to take your concern for "other species". ;)

It has been a warming planet for 10,000+ years. During that stretch, humanity has benefitted as in no other era. There will be storms and floods as long as there is water and wind, nothing ever changes, other than storms "then" were more cataclysmic than today because the sea level was rising...

Yes, it does, because according to that the "average" year is +7%. Copyright 2007 and starts in 1970....ok...

Without the planet warming, we wouldn't even be here, and NY4's location would be under a 1000 meter thick sheet of ice. The planet survived a 300 foot increase in sea levels just fine - it'll survive the next 100 years just fine, too.

That's really not that much water...

It's not the only way to get that knowledge. In fact, it's probably not even the best way.

Already debunked.

I thought that's what the whole Bright thing was. ;)

Are you connected directly to the exchange's feed? If not, the answer to your question is: "In many many ways".

"will be"? They're not shipping with those apps installed? That would be...dumb.

I offered the OP plenty of on-topic feedback. Where'd he go?

That's how I do it. Let them free range in a really big forested "paddock". The bacon out of these beauties is...unbelievable. Render the lard down...unbelievable. It's good to be alive. :) No, that would be too much like real work. Grow enough to keep the family and close friends in...

You're right, oldtime, I am mostly flat, most of the time. What I do for entertainment is raise heritage breed hogs and make whiskey. :) To the OP - it's from a few years back, now, but probably still worthwhile to dig up the series of papers/articles from the Penn-Lehman Automated Trading...

Error in design, or error in implementation?

There are a number of academic papers on the general topic of smart order routing algos, getting execution across multiple venues, including dark pools, doing all this in the presence of other algos, etc. Google will get you there. Around here it seems most people seem to think algo trading...

I don't see term limits or taking away incumbent advantages as solving anything. The root problem is that voters keep insisting on big government services with small government levels of taxation. Either approach can create a vibrant, prosperous society, but both at once inevitably leads to big...

That's not at all what happened.
