   Let reporters report the situation if they have proper gear and they understand the risks to tap into the power of the internet and world thinkers. Pass a bill to make the current state of censorship illegal.

   Provide incentives for BP to use their tanker ships to collect oil that rises to the top instead of letting them be used for profit. (To do otherwise is to let BP pay their way out of the problem when they could fix the underlying issue.) 1

   Stop using Corexit and chemical dispersants. 1. Dispersants to "treat" spills in the ocean is unprecedented 2. The EPA / scientists are concerned about long term environmental effects 3. Even the CEO of Nalco doesn't endorse this strategy,

    My beef with some acupuncture is that it seems to provide pain relief, but I suspect it doesn't treat the underlying symptoms. If your body hurts but you can still function, let it hurt IMO. It ain't broke so don't fix it.

    I'm not rich but I've begun to give the homeless in SF quite a bit of my money. I used to just give them "spare change" and cigarettes, but you should see their face light up when you hand them a $5 bill + loose change. Try it with an open

    been there, done that. not crazy. OTOH, I disagree with the author that cigarettes are less of a problem for the homeless.

    Well, my definition does not imply that what is False is easy to decide, and that's OK. If N != NP, then the statement "X is factorable" would be hard to decide, even if it's False (or True for that matter). Godel, in the proof of GIT, cho

    Godel's "proof" states that G is undecidable, and since that is what G states, G must be True, and this G is a True statement that cannot be proven (or disproven). I say that the conclusion that G is True does not follow. Calling G True is

    Can you prove or disprove this statement? "Godel's first incompleteness theorem is a Godel sentence" Anyways, it is my belief that Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is false by definition of Truth. That is, what is true is provable and vice ve

    Is "The above question has no solution", which is choice C, not a Godel sentence?

    OK, but we're probably just arguing about definitions. My argument remains that whatever benefit of liquidity that is injected into the market by HFT is offset by the margins that they take away.

    How do HFT bots help in your example case scenario? While the mutual fund is buying up Ford shares, the HTF are buying them up and selling them back to the mutual fund with a premium.

    I guess it makes complete sense that the markets would plunge simultaneously. Tradeworks had to dump their inventory all at once, otherwise other high frequency tradebots would have been tipped off. BTW, that high frequency trading is good
