Isn't Bernie Sanders the new Ross Perot? He opposed NAFTA and seems to oppose TPP as well.

Does someone know if the treaty has to be ratified by all parties before becoming a law? If it's rejected by Canadian or NZ parliaments, would it still be implemented?

While this article is aimed at the American system, it can't be applied as is throughout the world. My institution in continental Europe does award honorary degrees (~3 each year) though very few of the recipients can be considered pop

On my Android, ToS still date as of July 8, 2014 so I guess this is still being discussed. I'll wait to see how it pans out but I'll seriously consider cancelling my subscription on principle if this goes through.

Police officers have constantly crown prosecutors (or their assistants) on the line and these are the people who really call the shots on whom to arrest and how to proceed whenever something's getting serious. Going by the description,

It does read like an ode before a coronation. Though a poorly written one. Anything but Clinton/Bush. Sanders perhaps.

The author seems to be disappointed with aspell. I wonder if LanguageTool would have been a more adequate choice. I use it regularly before publishing documents.

Few theorems in economics, or political science in this case, are as disappointing as this one. Another one is Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnenschein%E2%80%93Mantel%E2... SMD: rational i

Yes, the missing legend doesn't help readability unless you're familiar with Eurostat dataset terminology. Actually, that's total unemployment rate for >15y at a regional level. Ignore the sex and age part - it's the

This. Zero (or negative inflation) today is mostly due to lower oil prices and slower increase, even decrease, in non-processed food prices (at least it's the case in parts of continental Europe). Core inflation, which excludes volatil

It's probably even more complex than that. Just took a quick look at the original Schengen Agreement: they only talk about harmonising visa policy. According to Wiki, visa policy is still set by the EU and all members of Schengen Area

I think a positive side-effect of PaperBricks idea would be full standardization of notation. It's tiring to look up meaning of variables as they differ with each author.

OVH seems to be turning back on their threats. In his Twitter, Octave Klaba modestly announced that everything is OK now after an amendment 437 was added. This is largely disputed: http://www.numerama.com/magazine/32806

French National Assembly has 577 delegates. According to Le Monde article, 25 voted for and 5 against. The rest, I suppose, didn't care to show up. This is beyond WTF. I am a client at OVH and Gandi and I hope they send a big FU to the

That's true. In my field, there's plenty of Matlab and it's arguably not even the best tool for the job: someone started using it, people improved on the work and now, no one cares about rewriting that.

It really doesn't matter unless it is an integral part of your job, I suppose. Take some of the top headlines today at BBC, e.g. Kenya hostage situation or Iran nuclear deal. In the first case, the situation is ongoing, plenty of specu

It's hard to compete with RStudio for best IDE for R. I stick with vim-R-plugin for most stuff but RStudio is so helpful for making presentations. But competition is good. Excel add-on, on the other hand, seems very interesting. I lost

It appeared in the press a week ago but Gemalto should have been informed earlier. Still seems like a small amount of time. It took Belgacom much longer to deal with it.

French press is trying to connect Gemalto and NSA. Common denominator is Alex Mandl. He's currently Executive Chairman of Gemalto. Previously, he was in Board of Directors of In-Q-Tel which is a CIA company.
