The protagonist of this movie is a pair of cousins. In fact, according to the description of the movie, the protagonist should be Anton.
Let’s follow the timeline:
Anton is a code wizard. He probably published some articles about code before he graduated. It was noticed by Ava Torres, a market maker, and he used a high salary as a bait to go to work. Then Vinnie graduated, Anton and Vinnie had a better relationship, so Anton introduced Vinnie to his company as a trader. According to Ava, in order to make Anton happy, Vinnie was hired as Anton’s pet. Given Ava’s importance to Anton, it can be guessed that Ava’s company was not as wealthy as it is now, but just now. Owning a set of trading software, as the market competition intensifies, Anton’s main job is to improve the software that has built garbage in his mouth and make it faster. Compared with the Chinese who later discovered the theory of microwave communication pulse shaping, Jimmy Chen, you can imagine that Ava got Jimmy Chen's priceless treasure at a low price, earning 500 million a year, and only giving Jimmy Chen 150,000 annual salary plus 300,000 dividends. . Anton’s ideal is to own a country house on the hill, but it is estimated that his salary has not risen much since he started his job, and under the control of this greedy boss, the country house will never be realized, so Vinnie’s encouragement With effect, Vinny designed a set of business copywriting, which impressed investors and started the optical fiber project.
According to the structure of the movie, there are three ways to shorten the time of information transmission. The first is straight optical fiber. The second is the microwave shaping pulse. The third is neutrinos. The linear optical fiber has the lowest cost and can be realized. The theory of microwave shaping pulse is completed, but there is no method yet. Neutrino communication still exists in theory. The straight-line optical fiber solution is the most suitable. Anton also came up with a complete solution, but he didn't want to hand it over to the boss, Ava, so he and Vinny resigned to start a business.
Originally, under the plan of Anton's algorithm, this straight optical fiber could lead most of its peers by 17 milliseconds, and investors needed to lead by 16 milliseconds. For this one millisecond, Anton stayed in the hotel and thought hard for several weeks. I don't know the algorithm. The superficial understanding should be that the factors affected by this delay can be attributed to several variables, and then a function is formed to control the variable to find the unknown. The story that the bartender asked him was about buying and selling stocks in an African lemon company, does it have anything to do with farmers who grow lemons? Anton said, it doesn't matter. Later, this triggered his inspiration, that is, the theoretical model that affects the transaction delay is hypothetical. According to the hypothetical variables, the function is designed and the input data is checked. If the hypothetical theoretical model is wrong, of course the correct result will not be obtained.
Therefore, he finally thought of finding a solution to the hardware error. Optical regenerator, according to product design, the standard of time delay is ±%15. Originally, 154 unidirectional lines should be set, and 24 more would be 178. The return line would also add 24 more, and then use a control program to control all of them. For optical regenerators, 48 optical regenerators with an efficiency of 115% are randomly selected and put into the entire line. Each regenerator is shortened by 0.02 milliseconds, and 48 is 0.96 milliseconds. The task of one millisecond is completed in this way.
I don’t know if this is a script bug. Anyway, I’ve heard the story of Apollo’s return capsule, which is that the return capsule failed and the battery returned was a few watts of power. The original spare astronaut on Earth could not return. Simulate the return procedure in the spare return cabin, turn off the unnecessary electrical equipment, and finally make up the power necessary for turning on the return device. Turning off other unnecessary equipment does not affect safety. There is no super code in Anton's method, and there is no epoch-making theory. It should be solved by a hardware engineer. According to the standard procedure of engineering construction, the error of the hardware equipment should be checked. The problem with Anton and Vinny is that they lack a chief engineer. They only have a construction team that digs tunnels and lays fibers. There is no chief engineer for the entire project. Anton prefers software, while Vinny prefers management. In addition, although Anton himself is very smart, he is by no means a commercial type. He is also very stubborn not to consider the possibility of microwave communication. As a result, his old owner has taken the lead and the transaction delay has been shortened to 11 milliseconds.
So, what did I see in this story? Hummingbirds flap their wings for 16 milliseconds, and it takes tens of thousands of years of evolution in nature to construct such a sophisticated biochemical function in an instant. A group of people have worked so hard to invest tens of millions of dollars to find the back door of the transaction, but their trading activities It has nothing to do with the progress of truth, goodness and beauty in the world, that is, it has nothing to do with farmers who grow lemons. Anton cooperates with Vinny's crazy business activities, the purpose is only to be able to quietly study the code he likes, he does not have these tens of millions, in fact, he can study the code. In the end, Vinny’s madness was unsuccessful and it brought down investors. He also had advanced gastric cancer, and time was running out. He stepped back and realized that 16 milliseconds is actually his entire life, which is as long as a hundred years. The thread he saw when he fell down when he was young, what the man told him, what is the answer to sticking to it? The answer is: stick to this thread. Hahaha, the adaptation of the TV series similar to Game of Thrones, the sound of crossing that Ado heard, hold the door. The meaning of life is to hold the door, why keep the door, for whom, what is the result of keeping the door? Where is the door? People who know don't have time to tell him, and when he hears it, it affects his life. Vinny’s crazy move is to take a sigh of relief and not to be oppressed. Anton also supports Vinny’s idea that their parents immigrated from the Soviet Union and were persecuted in the Soviet Union, but they were still discriminated against and oppressed in the United States. New oppression. The group is obviously the Asian face of Jimmy Chen. Finally, Anton handed Vinny a piece of paper, saying that it contained some ideas about neutrino communication. At the meeting with the boss Ava, the man in glasses said that the neutrino protection device alone costs 2.2 billion US dollars. So what is the purpose of Anton to shorten the transaction time? In the end, Wall Street was bought, Wall Street was bought, and I was lighting it up, sitting down with lemon farmers, and roasting marshmallows to eat.
Code is the most streamlined and most efficient language. For its simplicity and efficiency, it filters out irrelevant variables like Lemon Farmers. Anton and Vinny feel that they are also such irrelevant variables, so they are very angry. In order to be streamlined and efficient, they also forced the Amish, the world is sometimes like this, a small group of people ruined a large group of people in order to achieve their goals. The methods used are temptation, deception, coercion, coercion, etc. Morally, you can say that some of this large group of people is voluntary and deserves it. But in law, this is a crime, because these actions violate the entire community of human interests.
Anton’s anger, I think, comes from that distorted distribution according to work. Distribution according to work and distribution according to factors of production should be equal, and labor and factors of production should be equal in the right to obtain the results of labor, but the accounting law classifies labor income as expenses, and capital has the right to claim profits. Isn't the fairest way to calculate the proportion of labor and other factors of production in the contribution of labor results, and then distribute all labor fruits in proportion? ; The theory is like this, but the reality is often not. This is the anger of Anton and the anger of thousands of lemon farmers.
