This doesn't sound hugely informed. I spent the evening discussing this yesterday with Americans in a beer garden in Munich. Actually, more than the working conditions, the Americans didn't want to go back because of the guns.

I find this rather confusing. I have some chops, but I have nothing public in open source. I have always been employed to do what I do. Also, I am really not going to put something on github now... my time is really expensive (I'd have

Expecting at 36, I disagree with you. It's given us less time. There is no way to wait until you have managed away all the risks.

You'd be mad not to at least be seen to negotiate with Russia though, at least to make your own hand look stronger.

Who says sovereign bonds need to be risk free anyway? Absolutely! Default, and we'll just charge more next time. Whatever. Move on. The motivation for this extremely anti-default push has not been clearly enough laid out, methinks. Bon

No, no, no, no. That is exactly how a C64 tape cassette worked. Loading, loading, loading. I remember getting further than ever before in Midnight Resistance (which sounded less rapey to me at the time), and then waiting for the next level,

He who works for free, never gets thanked, as a wizened truck driver once told me. Your work and your input will not be respected without a consideration.

A fellow reader :) (I just ego-surfed my hn name. The twitter guy is somebody else.)

Isn't it? I haven't enjoyed somebody being disliking a comment of mine so much :). I've been reading these all day.

1. What the question is and why it is important. 2. Broadly, what area of mathematics was used - how did they go about solving it. 3. Do we have a concrete proof? For a general case? 4. Where are we now and what is next?

Four extra lines in a nice IMRaD format would have been a nice addition to start the discussion. It looks like the reader still has a lot of work to do.

In mobile? I've shut so many sites down in the last two weeks because I couldn't read on my iphone over the ad. It happens less to me in this period on android devices I notice.

Python is better for programming, R is better for statistics. A lot of data analysis packages require a bit of both, so I usually use a bit of both, and C++ underneath when something has to run faster. To expand, R has every cool statistica

What does take a bath mean in this context? I keep hearing it.

Oh, but the funded think-tanks?

I think linkedin's groups solve it a bit better. The problem with circles is that the people in a given circle don't necessarily have me in a circle. I can really just group the input feed, not the output feed. It's more cons

That sounds neat. Have you got a reference to it handy?

When used with caution, perhaps. Separation from a god-belief coincided with the start of my depression, so prayer would be super-not-helpful.

Nah. Least squares is necessarily optimal under a normal distribution, but that does not imply that it does not work if the distribution is not normal. It might even be optimal for some other distributions, I just cannot remember, and I hav

Laplace and Gauss were in mad competition to find a general rule for the pattern of errors for measurements in astronomy. It's around 1800, and the medium of exchange is letters. Laplace has recently shown that the integral of minus t

A good argument, to be fair.

Hmmm. I think it has well evolved beyond being a medical term of any kind and is now just an expression for somebody who is being stupid. There is a big difference being somebody who is stupid (something I would never say someone is), and s

Do the 20-something-year-old MBAs know either? Gosh, no. But they can whip up a MECE and crunch some numbers in their heads which look totally plausible. I think it provides some value, but I am not a huge fan. In my experience, the devil i

The guide to python (and I am currently training up a few folks in python) seems to be a guide for complete retards to learn python. It's woeful.
