Isn't the joke that if the sun did just go nova, then a $50 bet is meaningless?
It's skyhooking. Given enough time and enough compute power, we should be able to completely simulate it. It may not be economically feasible, and it may take a long time.
There's a general "smear" feel to Project Shame. YMMV. I don't find the information at the link compelling.
Sounds like the process worked. interviewing is pretty much a lost art. So it goes.
I suspect that we could reorder some class offerings to improve the "throughput" of a math program. I can divide my math education career into before and after the semester I took the course based on Smith/Eggen/St.…
I presume they mean 802.11ac. It would have been nice had the "journalist" said that.
you really, really should never write things such that task priorities must be of a certain arrangement for the thing to work properly. It's very bad form. Also, from the link "Tasks on the Pathfinder spacecraft were…
it didn't really fail. You were up after it was all over with. Fast, cheap or good - pick two.
Money is not the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all evil. This is something like being obsessed with money, or reifying the "symbol" of money.
The theory says that workers with low marginal productivity can move up the productivity scale. And largely, that's what's seen, but it's far from perfect.
"Empower" how? Subsidies? If you enact subsidies, then you create an environment in which somebody has the incentive to aggregate the subsidy - in a large business. That's agricultural policy in the US for the last…
Isn't that the tradeoff? You either join the circle of people selling each other insurance, or you get a real job.
Signal is signal and noise is noise. A bias towards passive face time is embracing noise and will reduce the ability to execute.
Prices had been pegged very high due to the Ukraine famine in the 1920s, and global trade further collapsed due to Smoot Hawley ( which was immediately countered worldwide ). Redistributing excess produce for free can…
This is one reason the Obama cigarette taxes were outrageous.
Mainly healthcare prices, education and some classes of real estate go up. Those are extremely rent-sought markets, not subject to competitive forces. And inflation is now running less than the 2% Fed target ( including…
So is salt still bad for you this week? Because you don't hire them to nag you, you hire them to finance certain forms of consumption. None of the numbers about even smoking have held up very well over time. "Lifestyle…
I heard the explosion for writing an assembler attributed to Von Neumann, not Turing.
Tcl is one heck of a Swiss-army knife solution. The core team is of the first order. The best thing is that it's so easy to use pipes to integrate a 'C'/C++ console mode program and control it via stdin/stdout/sockets.…
Entertainers are liberal because narrative is a very Liberal Art. Data, myth and legend are more on the Conservative axis, although there are mighty quantities of overlap. I always enjoyed Neil Young because he was…
it's in a fullsize case, but the Compaq cq2701 seems to have more and better for $20 less... ( bought one for my wife last weekend .) It's a 2.3 GHz G630T dual-core, which is fine for her uses. Yeah, it's Win7, so what,…
Never mind that yes, A/C can count on polarity and that you are isolated from the grid by one or more transformers. The third prong is the "safety" ground, in case neutral fails. Go back to old guitar amps with "the cap…
I would actually call it an emphasis on the appearance" of growth without doing the heavy lifting necessary to have real* growth.
They tried that - North Dallas was a rising star as a tech magnet. Nortel/Enron/Worldcom ( and dare I say Cisco? ) killed it dead. There's a modest smattering of tech left there, but it's all very weak and thready in…
Because language wars.
