Instead of making a snarky smear upon the faculty of what is probably the most coveted university in the world, why don't you just come out and make an informed argument on what you find so wrong with them? “There is a cult of ignoranc

Please fill us in on what war Obama started? Trump didn't do much for peace in the middle east when he moved the Israeli embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Well, this is the Black Edition of the Cooler Master Hyper 212, so there is that. I too found the article a bit underwhelming. I thought 'cooler cooler' was going to mean a configuration where a secondary cooler was piggybacking o

I have a hard time accepting that had they placed cabbage or broccoli (or other unpopular items) at the head of the offerings, it would still be taken so often.

I grant that its an intentional affectation, which can make it a bit annoying, but it seems to put me at ease while hearing about the deep details of the stressful issues of the newsday. Cadences can put us in a hypnotic trance and I think

I think you're grossing oversimplifying what goes into making each of these everyday decisions -- though they look simple. Misdiagnosing a cold when its ready a (deadly) brain/amoeba infection is easy to do particularly when the p

Considering that QuantNet ranks Baruch's Financial Eng program #2 (behind Princeton's) and that MIT ranks #10, I'd say you may be jumping to conclusions... https://quantnet.com/mfe-programs-rankings/

I always thought the pinnacle of trading & pricing/risk systems was SecDB [0] at Goldman Sachs? It was, after all, former SecDB devs who JPM hired away back in the mid-aughts to create Athena. Fascinating story hearing how trading

Since PCA is geared towards reducing dimensions, it would be an example of data which has many features (aka dimensions). Data on 'errors in a manufacturing line' would be a good example because you could be capturing a large numb

Yes, it was perfectly legal for Trump to disclose this photo, but was it wise? Tracking satellites is a hobby even among dilettantes, and now our adversaries can determine where this particular satellite is and when it might be coming ove

This is a bit disingenuous when you consider that most controversial/onerous topics are not injected into the workplace by most of these 'leftist' startups. If they let you bring your dog into work, what is controversial ab

I'm an occasional perler myself and I bet that others or myself would find that code you mention to be useful, at least for the black book of snippets. Would you mind pasting?

Indeed. The U.S. Army Air Force had over 80,000 planes in its inventory at one time during WW2, and by the end of the war, had built nearly 300,000 planes. See [0] for details. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United

Its likely that most people watch a movie with an aim towards tracking the plot, so that the movie makes sense. Still, you get a sense for the director or cinematographer's talent/style by watching a film even more broadly. It tak

I'm surprised that no mention was made of the U.S. Navy's network of hydrophones (SOSUS) and whatever took its place in the late 1990s. SOSUS was quite successful at detecting a number of Russian submarines since the 1950s with ev

Referencing the toxicity of water is a bit disingenuous, since the average human body is 60% water or more to begin with. Glyphosate, on the other hand, is a substance wholly artificial and foreign to the human body. Its only logical that i

Not to pile on with the rebuttals, but Elixir/Erlang are actually truly parallel. There wouldn't be much point to all the interest into it unless they were. You should go to the phoenix framework website for statistics on how it

I totally agree. Economics in the media industry (print or web) have been hellish for 10 years or more. Paywalls are unpopular, don't work and go against the 'free information' culture of the internet. However, the email he w

Why provide photos to illustrate your point and then not draw the relationship (between building features & tax policy) in the captions. To me, it was gratuitous. I know its a small point, but the subject matter is a bit light anyways.
