I can see why it's a trouble to let non-Canadians borrow; But what about investing? What's the legal trouble with letting foreigners invest through the internet? Isn't it just like opening an internet store, except the product is "Colektivo

This looks great. The number one question for me is: Will it operate outside of Canada? I'm from Israel, will I be able to invest/borrow?

This is the first sentence: "The media is biased against stories that want to be told." While the point of the article seems to be this: "In the mean time, many of the real stories are never told. The quiet successes by small teams who stan

I can try to answer this according to my theory. So one big "IMHO" on all the following text. Saying that chemical activity "causes" us to feel certain emotions is not correct. A little thinking could show you how absurd this is. "Causing"

I started to use it, it's pretty cool. But I noticed the download page wasn't updated since 2007. Is it really a living project or what?

I use a PC with Windows, will it work?

Okay, this looks cool. I installed it and will try it with my next tasks.

We are having quite a funny argument, because it seems we both see the problem. "One of the central tenants of relativity is that what reference frames we choose is irrelevant as long as we account for all the relativistic effects." I think

Hello Newt, Thanks for answering and for forwarding this to people who know GR, this might really help me. Regarding your first paragraph: I didn't give you my analysis, I only gave you a final answer, so how can you say there's a problem w

Are you working on it?

Okay Newt, now we have something we can compare! Because I claim that SR can handle such a case. I propose that I will give the answer as I calculate it from my version of SR, and you can give it from GR or whatever you think is necessary

I understand that their systems may be simpler for their uses, and it's possible that for this reason they use Maxwell's equations and things like that: But how can they not mention it, even once? I would personally expect these equations t

There are many objections I have to raise to your post. But let's just look at the first thing you say. You say that SR can't handle acceleration. I disagree. Let's examine this issue. My first question about it is: Assume you have a "twin

In the two universities I attended, the Technion and HUJI, it was as I described. In fact, I did not know there existed such a thing as a first-year calculus course that doesn't include defining "number" and "addition" from the ground up. S

"He substantiates his claim with historical evidence and observation of current trends." He can substantiate all he want with as much evidence as he wants, there is just not enough information to know how the state of large organizations wi

I did not think that pg said that big companies will disappear. He is saying they will never again have such a leading role. I think it's an exaggeration to think that just because start-ups have been doing well for a few decades.

"this isn't much of a stretch"?! from a sample period of a few decades to "never again"?

by cool-RR 18y ago
It looks like the article is saying there's a trend towards small organizations. That's a different thing than saying that the era of large organizations will never return.

by cool-RR 18y ago
"But large organizations will probably never again play the leading role they did up till the last quarter of the twentieth century." I suggest retracting this statement. What idea do you have of how the world will look 50 years from now? T

I think that if the power of Mathematica image processing would be combined with the usability of Photoshop, it would be totally awesome. Maybe a plug-in to use Mathematica from Photoshop?

The interface is buggy. I had to type my e-mail twice because it made it gray and erased it and then the submit button didn't seem to do anything.

It's very cool, but 20q (which is very similar) has been around for at least 5 years.

You can just attend calculus 101 when the next semester opens, in any university.

If one believes your summary, this thing is pretty silly. Why not stick a god damned battery on those devices?!
