As soon as you ask me for a name,email, DNA sample, etc for a download...you lose. Python doesn't do that. Which is why it is kicking Scilab, Matlabs et al arse.

Yeah, I struggle with this squaring this disruption with a generally libertarian economic stance. If we truly are at the edge of a disruption that will make the vast portion of workers under or unemployed, what does that mean in terms of so

Yeah, Im trying to be more conscious of this, I love that cheap high. It's a formula for being an asshole, unfortunately.

Most ( >85 percent) of venture investments are failures. It's a hits driven business, just like the movies or record labels.

Great, now rewind and re-run that history but with the Mike Marrkula, Andres Bectolsheim, and Peter Theil being taxed and 90 percent above 400k. How motivated would they have been to risk their capital knowing that 1)They have much less of

We don't. But many good investments don't look good at first, and often it has taken a single person to go out on faith to put money into a high risk/high rate of return investment. If their capital gets taxed at a much highe

The longer I'm around, the more I'm convinced of this line of thought and the fundamental power, beauty and truth of math. We need more early educators of math with your mindset.

Very sad to see professors at UCLA acting as directors for this, if its a scam. I'm hoping they're just ignorant of the economics and not committing willful fraud.

If you have children and expect they will as well , you can assume at least a financial legacy 60+ years beyond your death and plan accordingly. Wealthy families assume immortality in that manner, e.g. Vanderbilts, Mellons, etc.
