I believe that his speculation argument against gold holds for the stock market as well. Investors create feedback loops when they buy stocks that then creates even more demand. Buffet believes in the S&P and so he will naturally encour

There is a method of learning foreign languages, usually by help of computer software, where repetitions are spaced at certain intervals intended to maximize the memorization effect. I'm interested in learning more about this, but the info

This is the fruit of my spending over 2 weeks learning Chef. It produces an EC2 instance with the latest everything (Ruby 1.9.2-p290, Nginx 1.0.6, Mongodb 2.0.0) and does rolling restarts of the unicorn processes when new app code is deploy
