Interesting. Have you done a comparison test against Coopr? https://software.sandia.gov/trac/coopr Also were you using the glpk solver with CVXOPT on cpython? I find it hard to believe setting up the problem alone added nearly 20 minutes.

The Chromebook has a lot of parallels with the electric car. For a lot of people it is a real improvement for the normal routine, but there are a few use cases outside that routine for which it just won't work. ChromeOS has a lot of potenti

I understand what you're saying, but fairness is a poor word to use for what you're describing. Especially when you use it in contradicting ways. In your first example equality is "fair and equal." Removing the "equal" as redundant, you end

I think the author conflates fairness with equality and inequality with self interest. You can be fair but unequal and unfair but equal. Also, just because you might be getting the smaller share of an unequal deal does not mean you aren't s

On a side note, Triposo looks pretty good. There are some problems with the wikipedia text sometimes being in the city's native language though. I'm not sure if maybe that's how the page was when you scraped it.

Both of you, typeof NaN == number is not a language flaw! It's part of the IEEE 754 floating point specification. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/IEEE_754 Look, a big "system language" like Java also defines NaN, +inf, -inf

What value are bitcoins if nobody can legally accept or use them? The IRS is not known for being understanding toward things that look like tax evasion.

1. $52 retail for a deck of playing cards is prohibitively expensive. $26 is kind of outlandish. Go to ArtsCow and you can print full color custom decks on demand for $10 each http://www.artscow.com/photo-gifts/playing-cards/playing-car...

I just meant the credit card companies are well aware of what happened and that credit card numbers might have been involved. They're monitoring accounts accordingly and didn't seem to think canceling was necessary. If the companies really

First of all, there is no confirmed credit card theft. Credit card information is held at a higher standard than generic personal information. PCI compliance requires credit cards are encrypted and you are required to get regularly audited.

This is just my personal philosophy. I think it all comes down to whether you feel recognition and respect for your work. This recognition comes from yourself, your direct peers, your superiors, your subordinates, your customers, your frien

1. See the future. 2. Execute. 3. Profit. The points in the article are as myopic as Apple's competitors. You aren't going to beat Apple by reacting to what Apple does poorly today. Instead, ask "Where is technology going in one, two, and

Why doesn't Indie Stone use Kickstarter? They fit the model perfectly, Kickstarter has no history of withholding money, and 5% is quite reasonable.

Chess isn't a bad thing. Neither is devoting yourself to mastering a subject. But like the article says, there are other equally good or better pursuits we can teach from an early age. So choose chess, go, piano, painting, math, programming

I would probably not give up if this version of your app fails to take off. Instead I would be looking for feedback and acting on it. It will probably take a few iterations to prove to users this is a real product that's worth taking seriou

I had the same question. You should probably explain a little more in the app's description at the very least. Like other social media type products, I think people want to see that other people are using it before using it themselves. You

Something isn't quite right about this article. First the author compares the rise in cookies prices compared to inflation instead of commodity prices. This was a red flag to me that was repeated more than once. Fuel and food prices have be

I think you mean this: http://www.khanacademy.org/exercisedashboard Shame it requires you to login with a Google or Facebook account though. Is there any reason they can't allow email-free logins if you only want to do exercises?
