Kevin Slavin: How algorithms shape our world

[Ohad]

Nice video, cool to see those trading algos in work charts.

aww. I was about to post this... lol.

I was deciding whether to put it in Quant Matters or Off Topic.

We can now embed TED videos on Quantnet. These videos are very interesting. It costs a few thousand dollars for a seat at their event.

I guess you could say...

*sunglasses*

that you didn't have dibs.

Great video though, to both of you. I always thought that the delay between midtown and the financial district would be near-zero (good *enough*), and that the only important delays were between NYC and Chicago (or other big cities, just not within NYC itself).

It seems like a bit overestimation if you ask me, if your algorithm can't stand a microsec of delay than how robust is it?
Surely there are plenty of other bottlenecks that easily overweight this, that being said, I'm not in the field so I might be wrong.
