I highly recommend the coursera stat mech course. Professionally filmed against a green screen, clear explanations and a massive amount of python programs to illustrate it all.

I am not fully convinced by the compliance argument. People from other industries, for example the financial, have written very candidly on how easy it is to side step and circumvent the rules leaving their compliance departments in the wis

I really don't like the fact that he is forever hinting that higher level functions, such as recognizing an image of a cheetah, are (only) possible due to the unique omnipotent nature of the mathematica language.

Don't think that applies, the rules or criteria for economic succes are set. Perhaps the comparison should be against the index.

For me two books have been a bit of a game changer, Salt Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss (See also the 'bliss point' [1]) and The omnivore's dilemma by Michael Pollan. What pisses me off the most is the skill and vigilance you

If I were to speculate, I would expect the number of times a song is played most likely to adhere to a power law and therefor this average number of streams is not an ideal measure. And yes, I'd would expect the tail to be fragmented.

I don't really believe that shutter-lag is such an issue that it gives film camera's a defining edge. My M3 lags 16ms, but you need to focus it yourself obviously, my flagship Canon is slower at 40ms, but has autofocus and hammers
