Très intéressant billet de Sniper In Mahwah qui part de « The Walking Dead » pour développer une analyse comparée des trajets des migrants et des micro-ondes de la finance, en passant par le récit de l’installation du #wifi dans la jungle de Calais (et un bon tuyau pour franchir paisiblement la frontière entre la France et la Belgique).
#HFT in the #Jungle

The only difference between a microwave network and the migrants’ trajectories is speed. Khan needed a full year to join #Calais from Kabul, and most of the migrants from the Calais jungle wait for months before having the opportunity to join England. After this long wait, if they have the chance to break into a ferry or a truck, they will cross the Channel in one hour and half, while high-frequency traders data passes through the sea in 25 microseconds. Calais (and its surrounding region) is now the place where two extreme worlds meet: the extreme condition of the refugees and the extreme speed of high-frequency traders.
