Exciting implementation of a really cool concept. > Today's market structure costs institutional investors (and by extension households) at least a trillion dollars annually (and S…

ORMs are pretty terrible for anything to do with analytics or data science, for example.

Stalin's military lacked in organization, tactics and strategy due to the purges and was surprised by Operation Barbarossa's timeline, but it was well armed and well equipped. Case…

Fairly sure that is indeed a typo, in particular given how F+ is introduced a few lines above.
