I think you're right that we don't really understand yet the implications of this idea. For instance, it's not just expectation that should be emphasized, it's the discount rate at which the present value is performed. C

There is some research in political science on paying for votes in elections. They came to the conclusion that you should pay $x and receive sqrt(x) votes. 100 dollars -> 10 votes. I would think the same reasoning would work here. Hold s

I think D uses 3. You import a module in the source file, but if you need to include outside source files, then they would have to be listed when invoking the compiler. D also has a package system so that this isn't needed if you have

I started out doing policy debate in the early 2000s and eventually switched to Congress. Was a wise decision. Taught much more about how to actually speak persuasively in front of people and make coherent arguments instead of just talking

But when you need ECC, you really need it. My FreeNAS server has like 32GB or ECC memory because it runs ZFS, which basically doesn't work unless you have ECC memory. However, my desktop computer or my laptop don't need it. When y

My stupid work computer makes me re-install flash pretty much every time I use it. That instantly makes it way too annoying to use google finance's charts. Thankfully yahoo finance has gotten a little better recently and doesn't

This is a frustrating article, but perhaps the book is better. The key work here is really Earl Thompson's "The tulipmania: Fact or artifact?" in Public Choice. The article at least does not make any mention of Thompson or hi

Interesting. The motivation to put up the mirror is that the creator of the original project has no interest in changing his project to work with the languages' package manager, but has endorsed others mirroring it. So I could mirror t

If you're on Windows, could you use it instead of a virtualized Linux? Maybe a work computer disabled the virtualization?

How would I go about creating a github mirror for some other project? I mean I get that I can just upload the project as it is, but what if I want it so that updates to the original are reflected automatically in the mirror?

My recollection is that you need neither real analysis nor measure theory to appreciate it, but it's been a while since I read it. You might get more out of it if you have studied those. I disagree on multivar calc. Statistics often ma

How about betterC# instead? Given that C++/CLR is a thing, I imagine that it would be possible to get D working on it. JVM is a bit more limited in what it allows vs. CLR. For instance, C# has the unsafe keyword that allows pointer ari
