In '87, Huey released "Fore!", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square": a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics; but they should, beca

You will be better off going independent, than trying to break into the industry (unless your PhD was from a top program, and you're on the younger side). In that vein, Ernest P. Chan's books will give you the toolkit to begin, an

There was a great book about Evidence Based Medicine, from a woman out of Oxford, I read a long while ago. Can't for the life of me remember the name, but Oxford does have a center for "Evidence Based Medicine," and the whole

Table of contents? Blast from the SEO spam of the past. Snark aside, very decent bibliography for the intended audience: independent traders who are building automated trading programs for their personal accounts.

For one part. IIRC, there's 11 "new" parts this year. Which is even more hilarious, considering the ISO is already being funded by the tax dollars of member countries. A bit like having to pay a journal to get access to resea

Don't read into this question more than necessary: are you a "generic" American (non-immigrant, born and raised, family has been here for more than 3 generations, no strong ethnic ties) or primarily surrounded by "generi

Yes; and unfortunately there has yet to be a critical look at this phenomenon with the same skill as Quigley or Toynbee (at the very least, none that I can find).

All reddit is doing is storing text and serving it to people. This not expensive or a hard problem. You grab a bunch of servers, you set them up properly, and then you write your app properly. No resume-driven bullshit; no hype-driven bulls

The analogy is apt, because those opioid deaths are a direct result of someone taking advantage of others' emotions to set wide-sweeping policy, with no regard for anyone else -- causing drastic harm to people. This is no different fro

Just like every language is able to be slow/non-performant -- but OO in this case would be Python in a web context; it doesn't invalidate that a good amount of OO codebases in the wild devolve into incomprehensible black boxes, wh

Baby steps. I'm not going to recommend the complete nullification of corporations in the present. Perhaps as a long-term goal to aim towards -- but with the right planning and support. No sense in being a revolutionary. Perhaps start o

Yes, the same constitution that defines corporations as people, and allows their agents to enjoy all of the goodies. But when a corporation expresses false advertisements, they are fined -- regardless of their "freedom of speech."

Just because you feel a certain way, doesn't mean you should act on it -- you're bound to make a less-than-optimal decision when emotions get in the way. The above is the equivalent of finding out your child has been an alcoholic

I'm not being snarky, but this can all be reductively boiled down to "we shouldn't let people self-govern, because they don't know what's good for them." I posit an opposing viewpoint: people know what they wan

I’ve vouched for this, because it brings up an interesting point (albeit, one that proven provocative and been expressed before). Also, many of your comments are dead. Big O/algorithmic complexity is interesting in that it tends to abs

Perhaps when it’s on our own soil we might actually give a shit that they’re using child slaves and destroying the environment? When an American goes abroad to abuse children we round up a storm about the despicability of one person — and t

Full disclosure, I usually do not involve myself with large groups -- so my views are likely to be a bit more innocent/naive. The past that I lived in was comprised of people you personally knew; not anonymous membership in a large org

This form is basically always used for enumeration. Might as well just do (x != y); unless you're specifically looking to guard against erroneous bitflips that would be caught by the prior (x < y), but not the former. But at that po
