Why do you consider "the rich" and "the government" as two separate entities? Now that we have made some advances in network theory, perhaps it would be better to think of the social relations of political economy as an intricate network, r

It's actually worse than zero-sum for the players, because the house takes a cut. Usually the house takes about $200 off the table every hour (plus tips to the dealer), so the rake matters less for higher stakes games. However, it's not nec

Au contraire, these [swarms can be very useful]( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_intelligence ). No one machine learning algorithm is best for all tasks. With current state-of-the-art technology, a human must choose the most appropriate

Does any other profession have a Kaggle? Imagine a more general contest: build my company a tool that increases our market value by X%; we'll give the winners $Y and a job interview. The expected value of participating is $Y/n, where n is t

The downside is that you lose $400. Just because the last transaction of that option was at $4 doesn't mean you can buy it at $4. Options are relatively illiquid.

I'm past my edit time limit, but I should add context to the assertion that we can't estimate the value of a year of college. There are some good methods for doing so, but none that stand out as the correct way. It's a classic hard problem

Don't forget all the people who now save a bit on their milk. This could add up to a significant amount annually, especially for the most poor. I'm not sure that I care about the living conditions of cattle at the expense of the living cond

Crazy? Seems like a smart move for shareholders to ask for a government policy that increases stock prices at the expense of other investment vehicles. It's funny how most (all?) government policies result in a wealth transfer. If it's not
