I am one of the many forced to use outlook for work. However, everyone I've interacted with uses web Outlook, not the installed client, myself included. Am I right that Insight does not work on the web version? If so I might actually consid

Worth pointing out is that, while the studies are almost certainly wrong, they develop into less wrong that builds on the old more wrong. Take the Bohr atom, horribly wrong, but immensely valuable in it's time (and still pedagogically). Th

This reminded me of a keynote speech at the dynamical systems conference at Snobird a few years back about the limits of computational mathematics, i.e. the human limits of asking the wrong question. The aged speaker was apparently a consul

The trouble with these kinds of studies (and with empirical evidence in general) is that there are often omitted correlating factors left out of the analysis. Doctors would be sure to control diet and other medications, economists would con

In Wisconsin I took the SAT in seventh grade as part of a state competition, so it's not necessarily daddy cutting a check. Not to brag, but I got a free ice cream sandwich for my amazing score!

An interesting and related situation is when large blockholders in corporations simultaneously hold significant short interests in derivatives of their company shares. This is espescially useful when a value destroying acquisition is on the

I feel kinda alone in my forum, do you think you could maybe fold Mississippi, Arkansas, Utah, Idaho, and South Dakota into the Wisconsin forum so I can have someone to talk to?

This reminds me of working with tenured research faculty. You start out immersing for two weeks, have a 20 minute conversation, then two more weeks end loop. This process repeats itself until you've certified yourself a genius or dropped ou

It might be worth digging into exactly what metrics RAND used to define healthy. For example, if I have a bad knee towards the end of my life, if I have European style care I get put in a queue with a small but significant probability I wil

I think being an employee and launching a startup are on a continuum of sorts. With a startup you get lots of uncertainty, but lots of independence. There is a job to do, you decide how to do it, and the market is your metric for success, f

If I could license a hole digger, the first thing I would do is connect LA to New York the short way. If I'm really lucky they will have invented a room temperature superconductor by then so my now nearly frictionless train can fall across

As a young married guy with kids, dealing with medical records is a strange reminder of life before the advent of the personal computer. In a world with EVDO where we worry about disabling our passports it strangely anachronistic to put in

Make a somewhat effusive statement, that's really ingenious; a hard currency for the new millenium, portable, divisible, and universally accepted. Of course you've traded the brutal master of the despot's printing press for the harsh mistre

Exhibiting my ignorance: Is it possible to http something other than hypertext markup language? I ask because the 2D web is decentralized; if you dislike your hosting arrangement, you can find another provider. That wouldn't be the case for

I can't help being curious; aren't there algorithms that itentify the likelihood of a sample of text being from a given writer based differences in writing style. If so we have plenty of writing guaranteed to be from Alexis and maybe we cou

they haven't (at least not in the public threads to date) because "Why Europe" as a name really makes sense as it is not the place people would normally go to start a startup given the intense regulatory environment there. You got me laughi

It was actually very easy to justify the valuations of many (but not all) internet companies in the first "bubble" although not by naive net present value calculations. The key is to model scaling up as a call option on a future larger vers
