It's very interesting that his Chief Strategy guy is a political pollster. It could be very interesting - having a data heavy user of technology, that doesn't copy the skillset of Gates or Nadella. On the other hand, it is a bit

It's very tough, because it's easy to say after the fact if anyone has been harmed. There's also the concept of turning into a police state, which is bad, while you can argue away an individual wiretap. My 2 cents... Beatin

As a customer, I might actually rather have someone get my credit card than a password. The bank will find the credit card fraud quicker than a website finding out my password has been compromised. And if someone gets an email account&#x2

The article headline is a little sensationalist. It's very rudimentary, and it's more about learning limits than equations. That said, games like DragonBox highlight that kids are capable of being introduced to these concepts we

This is very much the field of Econometrics, perhaps the subset of Mathematics with the weakest theoretical footing. The short answer is not 100% because you can never 100% prove there isn't some other bigger cause that you just don&#

Here's the rub... I'm not aware of any Phd programs outside the Education departments that require formal teaching training. You might get an apprenticeship as a TA if you aren't an RA, but coursework in becoming a better t

Very interesting spin on Musk. I don't view the space venture as rent seeking. Someone has to supply the government... Now if he pays lobbyists (does he?) then it's rent seeking. The auto industry is much murkier, because Detro
