I always see at least one ad hominem remark made in any thread that might relate to Krugman. I'm actually curious, as someone who is not embedded in finance or economics, what are people's detractions against this guy (who won a N

What baffles me is that these accusations and the subsequent discussions of "[they]" all treat homelessness as a homogenous problem. If we, as self-proclaimed as hackers and problem-solvers or whatever, want to discuss problems an

2nd Amendment is probably the check and balance with the least potential efficacy these days -- pro-gun supporters who tout right to bear arms to protect against government tyranny are living a fantasy. Realistically there is 0 chance an ar

Cruises are priced such because cruise ship workers are paid incredibly low wages: "The Cruise Lines International Association says its "crew members are provided wages that are competitive with international pay scales." But a cleaner aboa

I have also been following this course and am extremely disappointed in its quality -- not just in poor production, but also in the coverage of course material. I would not recommend this as a primer on investing.

I would be interested to know their reasons behind this as well. Anecdotally, it was a bad design choice for me. I took a Udacity class in the first round after their launch and followed along with the due dates pretty well. The next round

The geographic distortion is neat. I don't like the bubble charts though -- when loading a new set of data the bubbles are completely rearranged making a quick glance comparison between two countries difficult.

Seems like the Ars headline is inaccurate. Inman posts in his blog that the money is still with IndieGoGo pending a restraining order to have it transferred. "Once the money is moved, I still plan on withdrawing $211k in cash and taking a p

The data is from FF4 beta. So I think you're right, these are not your average users.

Good idea, but I think some sort of achievement test at the high school level would be even more effective at revealing the quality of preparation students have received for college. Fortunately we already have tests like this and not surpr

I'm interested in tossing my hat into the ring as well. I couldn't find a way to contact you in your profile or on github so here's me saying "me too!"

Comparing the returns of a basket of all mutual funds to the returns of one large-cap stock index over a highly volatile period isn't very meaningful. The mutual funds weren't even 100% equities, so you're partially comparing the returns of

"It also isn't the best at preserving your data on Android, there have been a number of nights where I lost data due to bluetooth bugs, application crashes, accidentally running the device battery out, and so on." Likewise, I gave up after

Regardless of what the Reddit admins or Conde Nast are doing right or wrong to monetize their site, I think it's simply a matter of assessing the value of the information Reddit has exposed me to -- not just via the links but also the user

I think that's a compelling irony of the data if it can be taken as accurate. Perhaps material goals are the most efficient means of (material) progress, but is there psychological cost associated with that achievement? Reminds me of "Dea
