I live in Songdo (the city featured in the article), and I think I have to concur with their dystopian tone. This place felt “fake” or “manufactured” to me in some sense that I couldn’t put my finger on even before I knew that it’s a plann

But that's a counterfactual. Once the pop occurs, the company could not have gone with a higher price and pocketed more cash. A rational actor should make the best decision they can make given the information they have at the time,

But it sort of does imply that. Here's the reasoning -- There's a liquid market of a lot of shares trading hands at $40+. Anybody who bought a share at $26 knows he or she can sell today for $40+. To a first approximation, choo

Maybe I'm fundamentally missing something, but I have a very hard time seeing why Twitter should care all that much about how much their stock 'pops' at open. Sure, they should care deeply about the price it settles at, beca

You make a good point, but that's also a shortcoming of all of the purely computational techniques. I think the most you can hope for is 'democratizing' the computational methods, i.e. making them non-parallelizable. Taking

Maybe there's still a way to use homomorphic encryption. gwern rightly suggests that it causes a big problem if the recipient must decrypt the result of an encrypted computation. However, what if the decrypted result of the computati
