Yet, for all these technological developments, it’s interesting that many of us are still serving sites in the same way Tim did with the very first website — a web server serving static website files. However, unlike the early days of the web, static sites are no longer limited to developers working in a code editor.

Indeterminate counterparty risk in a highly interconnected financial system means there’s a chance capital markets could get blindsided yet again, so hedge funds are front and centre of the regulatory debate. How can anybody expect that deterministic project planning will keep pace with changes and discoveries made during development?

Shippers, facing excessive capacity after the financial crisis of 2008, either went out of business, merged, or did deals to fill their ships to capacity. The systemic fragility was as plain as day. This was a fragile system operating on borrowed time. The triggering event had happened before. This is not a black swan event.

The design of the model heavily depends on the problem. This framework resembles the approach suggested in [JK98].
