We haven't seen a phenomenon like this since, my God, 2007 through 2009. And then earlier from 2003 through 2004. But, ignoring those anomalies, this hasn't happened even once since, let's see, 2002. Truly amazing stuff here.

Remember that rates are always given as annual rates. If you buy $100 in two-year bonds, in two years you get about $303 back, or ($100 * 1.74^2).

The word is "layman's". Lehman Brothers is the investment bank that collapsed in 2008. Cute typo. The simplest translation, though: The market believes that if you were to loan money to Greece for two years, there's only about a 33% chance

I have an unusual reason, but a strong one: I primarily use relational DBs for large-scale analysis of frozen snapshots of data, rather than transactional loads. PostgreSQL has MVCC features built into it at the most fundamental levels wher

Calling it 'Dart' is rather confusing, given that there's already an existing Google product called DART: http://www.google.com/doubleclick/publishers/dart.html

LexisNexis calling this a "Hadoop alternative" is pure marketing, grabbing on to the tailcoats of fashionable tech. HPCC is not a MapReduce framework. It's not a framework at all. Instead of letting you plug in existing code in arbitrary l

Nobody who knows CoffeeScript needs to be informed that JavaScript is more mainstream.

by goodside 15y ago
The subtext is that you should learn CoffeeScript. It's an alternative syntax, not a new language. They wrote you a nice library and are giving it away under an MIT license. You don't get to pick the style they use to write the examples. Th

Just curious: Are you aware that Greenplum, now a division of EMC, has had a data analytics product called Chorus since April of 2010? http://www.greenplum.com/products/chorus

You're vastly oversimplifying. In physics and finance, the "initial time" has always been t_0, not t_1. This has absolutely nothing to do with machine code, or with "blind cargo-cult copying". There are intrinsic reasons for doing it this

by goodside 15y ago
I suspect the real reason has more to do with the pragmatics of machine code. It's extremely common to want to refer to some dynamic offset of a fixed location in memory, like if you have an array of equal-length items stored consecutively.

The demand is expressed not by heavy monetary compensation of new hires, but by retention of low-performing, overpaid employees with extensive domain knowledge but few other marketable skills. It's less visible, but equally expensive.

I've gotten in the habit of trying to explain poorly written NewScientist and Popular Science articles as they appear on HN, just because they're so consistently peppered with nonsense that even non-physicist enthusiasts like me can do subs

Meta-warning: Don't rely on your ability to keep a low profile to keep you out of trouble. Having your name on this list shouldn't bother you at all. These are some of the nicest people that have ever spied on you.

Also, MWI acceptance is drastically higher among those who entered the field recently enough to not worry about the orthodoxy of Copenhagen. There are two driving forces in science: the skepticism of grad students and the mortality of profe

MWI has a great deal to say about your life, as the rules that imply MWI are the exact same rules that imply chemistry. MWI is not QM with an added postulate of "Oh, by the way, everything happens." MWI is QM. Period. Decoherence unambigu

There fact the Universe is probabilistic isn't what MWI is needed to explain. There's nothing even especially counterintuitive about the Universe being probabilistic. MWI is a (so-far) unavoidable implication of the laws that predict real,

The conclusion here has an unfounded moral lesson: "The model suggests why competitors always seem to locate so close to each other and compete on real estate. Think about big burger chains, supermarkets, and video stores. You will almost a

Yeah, at least ±10% or so. I really should have mentioned that.

The answers to the first two questions are related, and unfortunately complicated. I was almost referring to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), but I actually meant a slightly older event, the end of the inflationary epoch.

That depends greatly on when in the history of the Universe the light was emitted. The scale factor varies over time. What you probably meant though was "How long did the light that we're seeing from this particular quasar take to get here?

Nope. If the quasar were 12 billion light-years away when the light was emitted, the light would never have even reached us! In this scenario, the distance between the quasar and Earth that the light needs to traverse would undergo metric e

by goodside 15y ago
That's not how it works. If we observe an object that's currently 12 billion lightyears away (i.e., its co-moving distance is 12 billion light years) the light we observe was emitted much less than 12 billion years ago. While light is in tr

This headline is sensationalistic beyond the pale of respectable journalism, and certainly beyond that of HN. The article does nothing to justify the title. Speculating ways in which Twitter might eventually lose to a new competitor does no
