   It's funny because the whole discussion only exists because there is no division operator in "matrix math". For scalars we can simply write a / b (instead of a^-1 * b) and everyone knows how to calculate it. But for some

   I don't see a problem in that. I was pointing out that "Milf" would be the only thing in the series of events that could qualify as "sexually harrasing", and the others would not. That's a legitimate thing to d

   I am not a lawyer, but: Apart from the "Milf" comment I don't see much in your description of events that would qualify as sexual harassment (at least not from my European view of things). Certainly unprofessional but not qui

   What many don't know about Kalman Filters (and took me a while to realize as well) is that it's just recursive least squares. It is just formulated a bit differently such that incremental update complexity depends of the dimension

    With GPU Frameworks like GPUImage or Arrayfire.com I always wonder how bus transfers impact the overall performance. The best GPU code is useless if most of the time is spent transferring data from CPU to GPU and the other way back. That&#x

    Ok, but it's not the buy-back that increases the per-share value for the selling investor, it's the fact that the company has generated positive Free Cash Flow that it is free to invest.

    Well but that just confirms my whole point. In a buyback the company invests its cash into stock instead of distributing it as dividend. It therefore makes an investment decision for the investor, who never gets to see any cash. The whole

    and this is also exactly equivalent to distributing profits in the form of a dividend. I don't see this equivalence. I guess It's rather like settling debt since after a buy-back there will be fewer future dividends to pay. But

    Is the combination symmetrical? I.e. would we get the same result combining A with B than combining B with A?
