I don't see what's so snide about 'some greens', the Greens are a political party in Australia, they have a strong anti-nuclear stance as I recall(might be wrong).

'Renewables can be vastly improved, several advances have already been made just not fully capitalized on' such as? I think the major advantage of nuclear is its cost efficiency and low pollution.

"One way Page tries to keep his finger on Google’s pulse is his insistence on signing off on every new hire—so far he’s vetted well over 30,000" Wow that works out to be 9 everyday for the past 10 years, really?!?

Isn't he dismissing the risk that the airline won't be able to sell the ticket within the next 48 hours? The potential for the airline to make $400 is there, but the expected revenue is below that.

I like how the water level rises from the beginning to the end, at the start there's just a few cars moving a little and you're like "this isn't so bad", and then at the end water is gushing in with cars and buildings rolling around in a ca

"It's the volatility that determines the prices" I thought this is only the case with contracts where the payoff is not linear, i.e. limiting the upside or downside. Future contract payoffs are linear f(t) = S(T) − K, so the upside is the s

Surely that method of multiplication is not suited for larger numbers, to get 246 * 369 u do 200 * 300 200 * 60 200 * 9 40 * 300 40 * 60 40 * 9 6 * 300 6 * 60 6 * 9 So for x-digit multiplied by y-digit u need to write down x*y products and

There is definitely a correlation, at least recently, between availability of credit and the increase in commodity prices. One way to explain this is to look at house prices, and how real-estate agents 'value' these. They will value a prope

I wonder where all the money will go to, and whether a developed country like Japan really need help to handle the disaster in this situation, given their history with such events. Its really hard to find where the money will go to, the swi

Very true, in my mother's generation overweight people in China were seen as 'freaks', as in circus freaks. This was even when there was enough food to feed everybody, most people remained in shape because 1. The food was whole. 2. People w
