I think you're mistaking 'total desirable score' with 'natural beauty score'. I think the simplest model that's not too wrong is that the total score of a location is the sum of natural beauty with other factor

Bunch of college classmates went to work at telecom operators, because, after all, we were majoring in Telecomm Engineering. It was basically a mix of EE and software engineering, with specific telecom classes thrown in. First one was calle

Even countries who have no unused land, like the Netherlands and Belgium, have managed to build big wind farms. They've mostly placed them offshore.

I would just like to point out that Mihai Sucan, a wonderful developer that worked on the Mozilla Developer Tools, passed away in April of this year due to the skin cancer this disease often leads to. I had the privilege of knowing him. You

I think the term data-laundering will come into use. It will describe the practice of taking illegally obtained data (such as this OPM leak) and selling it and plausible deniability that it comes from a clean source to willing buyers who wo

Of course one shouldn't encrypt them, one should salt and hash them. With a cryptographically secure hash such as bcrypt or scrypt. If you use a batteries-included web-framework, this is already done for you. If you do not, you bette

They could have done that much better with linear interpolation instead of a step function. Today's step function, with made-up tax percentages: 20% if held for less than a year, 10% if a year or more. You end up with a bunch of trades

This seems to me the most important article the Economist published this month, or even this year. Not about the Greek crisis, you say ? Well, realistically, even if you read and understood all their coverage about that, it's not like

It's called a Molnya orbit. The Soviets started using it because it would provide good coverage of their very nordic territory, something geostationary sats would not do. Of course, the sats are not stationary (from the point of view o

Talking about a hobby as if you still do it, in order to get the job and provide for your family, is not a lie anyone sane would say matters. Next time, don't sweat it.

I did five year of engineering school, like a lot of other people. Let's see how I could have used this time in other fields. In five years, an infantry soldier can go to bootcamp (BCT, 10 weeks), advanced infantry combat school (4 wee

Sorry to hear that. Care to share where you are located? I'm also doing Python and would love to better understand the market. If you prefer email, it's in my profile.

That's ironic given that your people (the Dutch) were the original European venture capitalists! In the 16th and 17th centuries, they put together and financed again and again (thus repeatable and scalable) overseas trading voyages. I

Scaling requires specific know-how, lots of capital, and chutzpah. You seem to know more about Israeli startups than I, and I don't doubt that they're learning the first as you say, or that they already have the third. As for capi

I would recommend you start by butchering to pieces a whole chicken or rabbit. They're the closest you can easily get to an unbutchered animal, as they're available at most butcheries, supermarkets, etc. They would already be clea

Better evaluation and pricing of equity leads to better allocation of capital, which leads to value creation, which is not zero sum. Now, if the the better-pricers manage to capture all the value they create, that is another question. But e
