Something like this is already being done for made-to-measure apparel, e.g. https://www.mtailor.com/ for men's clothes and https://www.topologyeyewear.com/ for glasses (also - does anyone know if there

What about space artifacts? Out in the vacuum stuff corrodes/degrades much slower - would satellites still be around or would they have had their orbits degraded and burned up in the atmosphere? Also, how detectable would the stuff we&

It's fairly standard practice, as long as the aircraft involved are certified for it and flying on autopilot. Given that the planes involved were flying at FL350-60, they probably were (altitudes above a certain threshold - FL290 in th

In terms of reducing the ability of speedy traders to gain an advantage in a continuous time market, how does IEX's fixed time delay compare to discretizing the timesteps, so all the trades within some finite interval [t, t+e] are trea
