So you're on hacker news, but you're terrified about automation and telecommunications, because it "removes any sort of human reflection". But only in this one particular application no doubt. Fitting that the towers are in Holland, maybe you can go and throw some clogs at them.

Well said, but Belgium isn't in Holland ;) For some reason a relatively large number of players in this space are Dutch though.

Oops, my mistake. I tend to lump the Flemish in with the Dutch without thinking.

I don't think reading some news and HFT have the same impact on the global economy.
