Just to be pedantic: in The West Wing , season 1, episode 8, this is a key plot point. According to this episode, the Antiquities Act does give the president this power. Since this is a really silly but rewarding conclusion to the episode,

No. You only need consent if there is absolutely no reason for you to have that data. Consent is the emergency hatch, only to be used in exceptional circumstances. "But what gives?!", I hear you think. As a law professor said (r

That's not entirely correct. The theorem says that in Vickrey auctions (sealed bid 2nd price), each bidder's optimal strategy is to bid their actual valuation of the auctioned object. It doesn't work with open bidding, becaus

If you can free up one day per week from your regular job, you can pursue a PhD in part-time. It would likely be unfunded, take a little longer, and there may be expenses involved, but still, the option is there. Moreover, this dramatical

The way I think of it: you have 0-dimensional arrays of numbers (plain numbers or scalars). You have 1-dimensional arrays of numbers (a list of N numbers or an N-vector). You have 2-dimensional arrays of numbers (an NxM matrix). We can exte
