    There should be a halfway point between kdb and postgres... So more seriously my thinking is that we should, on purely moral grounds strive to have things be fast and lean. How man…

    The cost of insurance is carry e.g. when you buy an option you are paying for the convexity with time decay. It is quite expensive. It is worth saying however that part of tail hed…
