You can't just add up future value and current value of things. The future value is in future dollars, they are different from current dollars. You owe depositors their current dollars.

I can imagine some unintended consequences from this. If I'm a hard-going reviewer, people might choose to avoid me, and I'll be compensated less. Conversely, if I'm easy-going, people might find ways to get their papers to m

I am curious. If it's not too personal - you seem to be someone who reads a lot and synthesises it together into interesting output. You appear to have some control and resistance to the attention stealing machine, and haven't suc

Surely it's sufficient that someone else forgot the $100 in the book.

How do you like Umberto Eco's attempt to characterize ur-fascism?

Thank you, I enjoyed your illuminating comments, and for the search phrase "semantic shift". I should have been more cognizant of metaphorical extension, having recently read [0] which claims "tall" went from "swift

Curious that you have a negative view of that. When I come across a word I don't know I am usually too lazy to look it up, and so I infer its meaning. But I don't know if I infer it correctly! I'm convinced this is how we end

Though it looks like these puzzles are far from randomly generated - they're quite artfully put together.

Since some people are complaining about the difficulty curve, you could randomly generate puzzles and rate them, and players, with Bayeselo (or similar; like chesstempo does). Then you have to use this ratings data to somehow discover how q

According to [1] you can have float-adjusted or market-cap weighted indices. > An example of a company in which float-adjustment comes into play is Amazon (AMZN). The online retail giant's overall market cap is estimated at around

Better yet, they can just publish something encrypted with every compromised public key. Only people with the corresponding private keys can ascertain if they're compromised.

Couldn't the service allow you to check your private keys, rather than check a public key, without transmitting the actual key. You know (pub,priv). They know either (pub,priv) or (pub). Essentially, make use of your unique (probably!) abil

How awful, I just saw [ja27 17 hours ago]. I've even managed to describe it in almost exactly the same way..

Another ingenious approach is taken by chesstempo.com, a chess training site. Just as in chess itself the ratings of players are determined by pairwise comparisons (games between players), they pair players up against problems. If they solv
