But what about the accuracy of the error bounds?

When I was travelling through SF to Burning Man I visited Apple and Intel. Intel had a not-hugely-amazing but still kinda-interesting museum. I particularly enjoyed it because I'm a bit of a 4004 nerd and I liked seeing the big silicon

That is interesting. It's also interesting to think about it as: - There are trade fees, but only to a maximum of $99/mo, and only if you remember to ask us to cap them.

I entirely agree with this. I am surprised that no one brought it up earlier.

But what if 2.jpg doesn't exist? Or is a trivially small file? The advantage of the querystring-method is that you can just find one suitable (i.e. huge) file and force Google to pull it down many times.

Generally the tracking doesn't work so well after the plane has crashed into the ocean. Saying that you've lost contact with a jet is another way of saying that "it's probably crashed, but we don't have any solid pr

That doesn't solve the problem. Employees will still have a conflict of interest because they will still want their stock's value to remain.

I agree entirely - and that is the reason that one shouldn't say "It is perfectly possible to secure a bitcoin one owns."

Bitcoin supports want Bitcoin to take over the world. If the blockchain can't handle a few spammy message transactions like this, how could it handle taking over the world?

How would we know that they haven't just paid someone (with a lot of bitcoins) $20k to sign that message?

You're over-intellectualizing the issue. Benfords law only applies to certain sets of numbers. Not all numbers display Benfords law. Therefore Benfords law should not be considered when talking about rounding unless there's a reas

The title is "Why are US corporate profits so high? Because wages are so low". Nothing in that graph supports that title. In that graph wages look "about right", whereas profits look... weird. High, but also very weird.

I've never heard of Christopher Lane before. Wait, actually, on second thought, I have. But that didn't have any impact on my opinion of the US. The murder rate statistic "thing" (as you described it) is based on the act

The author of the article is "IBM". I've never been to scientificcomputing.com computing before, but now now have a pretty solid view of their trustworthiness.
