Scott W has a great approach to domain modeling. While he covers many topics, and almost all of F#, I think the way he uses the language to model a domain is what stands out as something that could really be of use in many real world applic

Modern financial markets are extremely complicated. Not because all parts of the subject are complicated, but more of a result of a layer-upon-layer-upon-layer effect mixed with jargon. Anyway, regarding this contract. What happens if a bun

No I did not. I merely pointed out that markets cannot change reality. They give you a view of reality. Regarding this contract, it is financially settled. So there is no actual delivery of water, and it merely offers you an exposure to alr

To your example. During the US housing price bubble (so called) that deflated 08; it was generally much cheaper to rent. So a user did not necessarily have to buy a house. And when you purchase real estate far beyond what is needed, then ob

More things traded means more information and better prices. Runaway prices can function as a clear signal that there are problems in the water supply that need to be addressed. On the other hand, a stable market will be an indication that

If you are not sure why, then please read about what has happened before when far-left revolutions occurred based on these concepts of supposed “privilege”. For example in Lenin’s Soviet Union. People were judged by their class membership r

The problem I find with this has much to do with character. I will not comment on the research (because I do not know the field) but rather comment on why character matters and why motivation is important. Having read her email and tweets;

I thought we had worked out in 2010-2012 that the CAP theorem, consistency, availability and partition tolerance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem#History ) made this impossible? Where is the mistake.

I don't want to have to trust everything follows a policy. It's much easier if I don't even have to trust you. Please change this.

I don’t understand this. Usually the answer to bad algorithms is to produce better ones, through research. What is the alternative? To give up and stay out? Ethical considerations are great. Define fairness and set a valid goal for the algo

Imagine you posting “nazi bandits” on a WW2 video and seeing it vanish after 15s. We in the IT community need to disassociate with google as much as we possibly can. Free speech is more important than ever.

This is a mistake. It implies that we should all agree that WHO: 1) Is not corrupt 2) At all times represents the best available expert opinion and advice But all institutions can become corrupted and the second point is highly implausible.

The blockchain was not meant to solve the problem they are trying to solve. We already have digital currency and it works quite well. I really have no idea what they are doing.

The issue is that you seem to not be able to abstract the fact that you may very well find yourself on the "wrong" side of the debate at one point in time. When that happens, you desperately need channels to communicate what'

The mere word "denialism" is a scary sign of the times we live in. Is the idea that anything that goes against the current "consensus" be removed? And is this just regarding climate change or does it apply to how we thin

Having worked in the finance industry developing risk models for clearing houses, I can safely say that the problem is a lot worse than the authors make it out to be. Regulators across the globe, practically all of whom are wholly ignorant

Wow. The sad state of journalism... and of critique from readers at this site. Obviously bumping salaries by 1/4 is not reasonable. In order for costs not to outweigh benefits that clinic would need to be some kind of utopia...

On that point you are correct. US combines the worst of two worlds in so many ways. Sweden at least does "socialism" correct in some areas.

Sigh... This is what happens when you start with faulty definitions. Orwellian at best.

I am from Sweden. What you are talking about is not "freedom". It is collective insurance. That may be efficient and convenient if done properly. But it has nothing to do with freedom. Read other posts...

Such nonsense. You may want to study property rights (protection from pollution) and freedom of speech (publishing studies). I don't know about the Koch bros, but libertarians are the most anti-corporate people you can find, precisely

The word "freedom" refers to freedom _from_ coercion. This is why a big government, that takes your income, inherently reduces economic freedom. Consider the opposite. "Now with free education and free golf lessons I have so

Sick and tired of non-swedes thinking socialists ever did anything for this country. Nothing was "solved" by politics in those years. Quite the opposite, our lean and mean economy faltered until the socialists became fiscally cons

Because you don't care about those people who would really benefit from an easy job for 1-2 years which gives them a foot in. Horrible values on display.

Economic 101. Minimum wage does nothing except hinder the disadvantaged. But yes, may also be good to get rid of your competition. Useless debate, because people, even engineers, don't think about it economically but only politically.

I am sorry but this seems like complete left wing rethoric bullshit. I can pick data too.
