There are limits to how much you can print without creating a currency crisis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation#Examples_of_hype...

Wolfram Alpha displays the debt in your local currency (SEK to me). Which currency did it show to you? Look at this video and tell me how that is sustainable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-quUyId2WZ0#t=0m13s

Indeed. That helps them postponing the problems but it doesn't make the debt-levels any more sustainable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-quUyId2WZ0

One of the most important lessons that we have learned from the past years is that you cannot look at a country's standard of living in isolation. You also have to look at the debt levels to see if it is sustainable in the long run. Japan h

What you said is correct but just to be nit-picky: parity codes constitute Galois Field arithmetic as well. XOR is the addition operation of polynomials in GF(2^n).

In what way was it irrelevant? I think he would have been able to get his point across a lot more efficiently if he had made it shorter. That also happened to be the point of his article (but in a different context).

Why the down-votes? Was it because you disagree or that you think that I offended someone? Sergey Brin seems to agree with me: http://techcrunch.com/2011/10/21/after-accidentally-public-r...

I think he should apply the same rules to his blog-posts. They always tend to be too verbose for my taste.

It looks a bit suspicious. There's no way they can cover their costs with these prices. Either prices will go up or the business will go down.

Thanks for the input! Yeah, information about the security-features are very important. Right now we are focusing on actually making it secure. Once we have a client ready we will most probably improve the information.

My startup is working on that. Sign-up at http://degoo.com and we'll let you know when we have a beta ready. /Shameless plug. I can e-mail you my Master's Thesis, which covers some of the theory behind it (although, it's in Swedish).

That sounds like a straw man. He wasn't arguing for monopolies. He was just saying that The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation should be added to the postitive effects which Microsoft has contributed to the world.

When the FED is buying US bonds through QE2 they push the other bond-buyers into buying other things, instead of the bonds the would have bought, had the FED not distorted the market. This pushes prices up for other asset classes. There's e

It's a bubbble, but not an Internet bubble. It's US-dollar bubble. The FED is printing money like never before so everything denominated in USD is going up.

Many countries (for instance the US) currently have massive debt and budget deficits. They have three ways out of it: 1. Increasing taxes. 2. Lowering expenditure. 3. Printing money. From a political point of view #3 is by far the easiest r

That's one way to do it. You can also use things like puts and mini-futures, which have some convenient properties. For instance when selling something short your equity can become negative. When buying puts, the worse-case scenario is zero

Exactly. It's not the commodities that's rising, it's the fiat currencies that's falling.

by Yrlec 16y ago
I would say that the main reason prices of commodities are going up is that the FED is printing massive amounts of $ through QE1 and QE2. If you think that this is a speculative bubble caused by traders then I suggest you just short the com

It all boils down to the fact that scalability of an organization often is harder than scalability of a web site. Yahoo just happens to be a very good example of that. As hackers we tend to focus a lot on technical scalability issues. We lo

Microsoft has a similar project for .NET http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/contracts/ . Based on a quick look I think Microsoft's project is a bit more mature (already has VS-intergration for example).

Interesting analysis! I've never considered that the inflow of customers could be what kept costs/customer down. I just thought their budget was depending on slow uplinks in the US and that they started getting too many non-US customers wit
