I am a knee-jerk Microsoft hater (with reasons I won't bore you with). Last fall I saw a bank developer giving a demo of how to build a system using F# and accessing the the windows GUIs library on .Net. I have to say it was very, very nice

The fact is that control systems break down sometimes. The Fed doesn't even use very good inflation indicators. (E.g. housing component of CPI). It seems pointless to limit the support of the distribution the way you suggest in order to mak

His argument might be wrong, but is not absurd. The Fed can't guarantee inflation, and some very well known managers have lightened up on Treasuries. Also I'm not sure what "arb" Google is getting here, beyond an attractive spread to Treasu

I think what they are doing is getting some practice issuing bonds. Since they are Google, they can't just dip a toe in the water. They have a great name and their ad business is looking more like reliable cash cow. Over time it makes sense

If there is high inflation, then the lump sum of principal borrowed will be easy to pay back in 10 years. Of course they must invest the funds in some kind of real asset to realize this benefit.

That's because many clowns are, in fact, social media experts. Sheen, Trump, Lohan etc.

One way to look at this is to track the market value of a company less its cash horde. It is a safe bet to assume that none of these companies is earning much beyond money market rates, except when it is adding (or subtracting!) value by in

One way to correct for dividends: assume the dividends are used to buy shares immediately after it goes ex-dividend.

Rosetta Stone for math? I'd like to see it. I have a friend who was able to buy a laxative in Italy without knowing a word of Italian. It's a funny story. I doubt the same approach would work with math.

Sure. Speak French without learning French. Or maybe learn French by reading a picture book. I sympathize with the author because there is a great deal of room for improvement in the language of math, which may let us model the world on a

Anybody aware of anything remotely similar for OpenCL?

It's too bad if Google really thinks that way. Seems to me the original key to their success was providing incredible value to their users. That got the user's attention and ... eventually ... monetization. In the mobile space, the ways to

Thanks. Right you are, right after a reboot the prompt appeared. Maybe that's why my question was gathering (-1, Moron) downvotes. Remember people, there are no stupid questions only stupid users.

Can I upgrade a Ubuntu 10.10 machine in-place? Don't worry its a VM.

Don't waste your time on them. They just want to reduce the costs of carrying around cash in black satchels. Get feedback from the NSA instead.

It's not just a matter of syntax. It's what some people call the difference between expression (which are mathematical) and statements (which are harder to manage mathematically). Check out Hughes' well known paper or some discussions about

To the programmer Haskell gives back a tool imperative programming took away -- equational reasoning. That's lost when you write x = x + 1, and it's something that got you through every math class and an essential tool to construct humanki

I had an eye operation using a YAG laser. Whatever is not transparent gets heated up and destroyed fast. The blacker the better.

Interesting. What's your objection to LinkedIn? Or are you just making a reference to the herd?

If that's true then regular solar cells only get a shot a half the energy too. So it doesn't seem so weird to me. More weird to me, after spending some time in the business, is all these solutions which only require "some engineering" are p

It's a proverb. That means it's old, from back when losing a leg was a downgrade, not an upgrade.

If you are in the Bay Area check out Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. If you want, you can think of it as a coffee shop with 1) Free coffee . Open 24 hours. 2) Screens you can hook up if needed. 3) Other coffee drinkers who also hack. 4) Very

I run macosx along with 64bit Arch Linux and 32bit unbuntu under VMware Fusion. If I ever get around to upgrading to a quad core notebook with 8 gig of ram I think I should be able to get about 10 years out of that computer instead of the u

tl;dr (my interpretation anyway). In utility theory a completely specified preference ordering is the starting point and a utility function can be derived to represent it. These functions are unique only up to a monotone transformation. In
