Seth Godin is a 2nd class thinker. His shallowness and vagueness impress only the gullible. When will people stop listening to him as if he were a god??

It's the people who need education and health care, not the companies. Taxes on companies should be used to pay for the costs of ensuring a business-friendly environment, such as enforcing the letter of the law, property rights, regulation,

It is doubtlessly an unfortunate tragedy :-( Nonetheless, everyday over 3000 people die in car accidents all over the world. Over 5000 people die everyday due to preventable water diseases. Over 3000 people commit suicide every day. One can

It's satire, not politics. In fact, it's clever satire. Read the text. It's most humorous.

Last month I visited Rhode Island for the 1st time. I went to the posh coastal town of Newport and I saw llamas clearing some properties' lawns! One of the weirdest things ever!

I knew Hooft's page already. Thanks for the other URL. I did some work on Experimental Physics years ago, then discovered that I was more into Applied Math. No plans to become a theoretical physicist, but I still read some stuff on it once

I wholeheartedly agree. Intelligence can only be rapidly converted into superficial knowledge. I've never heard of anyone who became an expert in Quantum Field Theory in a couple of years without having a background in Physics, that is fo

Thanks for the info. My fields are Signal Processing and Control Theory, and I am years away from being able to contribute anything remotely interesting to this nascent field of Computational Topology. Maybe after my PhD. And, indeed, I ten

I have just discovered Prof. Ghrist's work: http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~ghrist/index_files/research.htm I am profoundly enchanted by this stuff ;-)

That is quite true, but that is not what I meant. I can't speak for everyone who works in the financial services industry, but when I was in London working at a hedge fund, the word banker denoted someone who did corporate finance (e.g.,

Dude, this guy was a trader. Don't insult him by calling him a "banker"!! Traders and bankers are entirely different beasts...

I read the first few paragraphs, and I thought the exact same!! It reminded me of Liar's Poker right away. "the derivatives traders were viewed as the elite - the baddest of the bad-asses." Sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. I never

I have thousands of links in my del.icio.us account. Once in a while I pick some of the best ones and submit them to HN if they're "hackerish" enough. Searching for stuff on Wordpress.com sometimes yields some true gems too.

Control Systems, Communications and Signal Processing is quite Math-intensive. But is Electronics and Photonics Math? I doubt it. I would say that EE is either Applied Math or Applied Physics. For instance, in coding one uses Galois theory,

I totally agree!!! But let us NOT forget that the topic being discussed is the lack of women in programming & IT, not in CS or Math! I said there's no math in programming, which is not entirely accurate because some algorithms and stuff
