Ask HN: How would you describe Bloomberg Terminal to a complete layman?

1 pointsby Brazilian-Sigmaalmost 5 years ago
Just saw a Bloomberg Terminal post, I have been ignorant of finance in my CS career so far. Any resources to learn computer finance, Bloomberg, and all the hype around it in finance scene?

The Bloomberg Terminal is an ultrafast dumb machine connected to the best financial information and news system. When I worked there many many years ago, they did not send data to the terminal (think frontend client). Instead, they sent draw commands so that the actual data could not be snooped on.<p>If you are into hype, check out blockchain
