On a related note, I'd be interested in seeing a list of which sites each site has in its migration options. I know mods can migrate anywhere, but I'd still be interested to see where all the common folk are capable of sending a question
While in chat lamenting a really bad question that was migrated to a site because 3 people voted for it elsewhere, we got to wondering:
Is it possible to see a map of all the migration pathways in the vote to close lists?
I know moderators can move things anywhere, but what can the normal close...
Is it weird that I can see what you're typing? Did you know I can see you in the bathroom? Wait... is that weird? I mean like a spying on you in the bathroom in a friend kind of way
@alarge so youre well read! afaik "frontrunning" is not technically legal if its based on "inside information". however there are gray areas & enforcement limitations of SEC. it is somewhat tricky to define strictly.
lewis & his new book is cited heavily in the blog.
in biology there is a concept of "big fish eat little fish" & the same applies to economics, and while its not always pleasant, not all that is unpleasant is illegal.... quite to the contrary....
@vzn Well, of course the "front running" described in the book is not exactly insider trading like traditional front running (the HFTs don't really get the order, but they make an educated guess). Anyway, I do think that in principle HFTs do provide liquidity and thus also have a positive effect on the market in some respects.
alarge havent read the book its on my (huge) to-read pile. read some reviews. HFT is weird to anyone who hasnt heard of it. but its been around in various forms for ages.
The question is "Why do internal combustion engines only burn to carbon monoxide, not dioxide?" Combustion engines do produce carbon dioxide. Maybe the question can be reworded and saved I guess
@Sofia it was the question (later migrated to math.se I think.. or maybe simpli closed as homework I don't know) where you solved that integral typical of scattering problems (I don't remember exactly what it was).
@Sofia Anyway the exact post is not important now. It was just to inform you (if you didn't know it already) that it is ok to answer your own question, and that that is probably a better choice that posting material (into which you probably put some effort) on low quality questions, where it will be hardly found by others
Proposed Q&A site for scientists interested in openly sharing their research; for anyone interested in open access to research results; for publishers, librarians and other Open Science stakeholders.
@Sofia no. As I said above, I referred to one question (not asked by you) to which you answered. That question was one with a certain faith of being closed, so I was suggesting that instead of posting good material as an answer to questions that will surely be closed and even possibly migrated, you can just ask yourself an appropriate question, and post your things as an answer to that question.
