There already is a dual education system. It's called Formación Profesional. Includes on the job apprenticeships, plus a "senior" track, or qualification to college.

Eh, not really. Economists would call a currency deflationary if it causes deflation, that is, if it inflates slower than demand does. Bitcoin is massively deflationary, and only inflating in a very pedantic sense. I think assuming that Bit

Those do not include the most ridiculous thing they've done. The absolutely most bizarre thing is that, being "Chechnyan separatists", they attacked the US, precisely the one country they shouldn't have . An attack of Russia, while stupid

Yeah, but this was during the 90s, a period of growth caused by IT and finance developments. That budget surplus was a result of high economic growth, not a cause . Which, incidentally, is what the data that R/R distorted so much support

If you can do so much, why not build a bitcoin exchange directly? It's not like currency exchanges are that much a commodity for you to sell. Mmm... aren't you a bit like making excuses for not trying? ;) No seriously, if you made a bitcoin

If you think FPS's with shields Halo-style are slow, you've never played a modern Call of Duty. If anything, this unrealistic choice made it much faster and funnier, since no one needed to hunt for medkits again; it also gave players a real

Completely agree. FreiCoin: when programmers do not understand what Nash Equilibrium means. Nor the Tragedy of the Commons. They made a great attempt, but sometimes one's best try is just not enough.

Indeed, let's look at some remarks from some leading "thinkers" on deflation: > Deflation rewards the prudent saver and punishes the profligate borrower. The way a society, like an individual, becomes wealthy is by producing more than i

The submission is great, but "Professor tells 1700 students to fill Wikipedia with plagiarism" is a bad title. The professor didn't tell those students to plagiarize . A better title would be something like "Professor tells 1700 students t

Some people here seem to think that this is temporary, that sometime in the future Bitcoin will stabilize into a glorious future global currency -- never mind the new class of cryptobarons it will have created from its inner circle, through

First, from Wikipedia: "Empirical analyses have consistently found problems with the efficient-market hypothesis, the most consistent being that stocks with low price to earnings (and similarly, low price to cash-flow or book value) outperf

I don't know, I wouldn't necessarily want to be associated with this. An hypersonic plane, and CPGS technology in general, looks for the layman like me, more like a tool for a very limited type of extremely hard force projection. Well, mayb

Well, it makes sense from the point of view of the telcos, if I'm reading it correctly. In a very competitive market that can't really expand by much, such as this one, there exists a "perverse" incentive for all competitors to implicitly c

The best time measured is the time of execution with least switching to other processes. So, it's actually the closest to the real time.

I am afraid this is incorrect. The problem is, you seem to have a very basic, early 19th century, Jean-Baptiste Say style concept of money. This early school was, too, of the opinion that money's only role in the economy is as a medium of e

A bolder move than the Wii U would have been to completely flip the tables and infiltrate the cellphone gaming market. So, mindlessly following the fad du jour is what passes for bold nowadays? Bullshit. Let's think it through. Imagine we

This is something of a pet peeve, so I'll reply. Let's say that the only stack trace entries TCO will eliminate are not only useless, but actually impede debugging. Let's say 'rf' is a recursive function. If it dumped core, without TCO you

Dude. He's just some guy that built up some (not very useful but fun) shit, and is very cautious (explicitly!) about what it will do. He will even do an experiment, even if it's a very limited one. Give him a break, FFS. It's not like he's

No. You exhibit a severe misunderstanding of evolution. Imagine panspermia is true. Some kind of life exists in space. and some of it fell down to earth. Then life on earth would evolve down here, adapting to the particular circumstances of

Correct, but remember that, if income across most of the population were to be increased, keeping the amount of total income constant , then average relative income would increase. For example, a typical redistribution tax in the typical,

Well, let's say you measured the times at which the bottom pendulum crossed the median. You would get a list of times that were spaced here and there, some near others, some far. This would be one possible set of information that the pendul

But the problem with this is that a government can become completely totalitarian without disarming its subjects. Imagine the Soviet Union, but this time you're allowed to bear arms. Or even better, imagine the USA. Sure, you can bear arm

It was also used, as I understand, as sort of legal allowance to form paramilitary parties with sort of like police powers. So you, as a citizen, could enforce laws when there was no police or army able to do so for you. For instance, in th
