True, not a failure, thanks for the correction. The tweet came from Orbital Sciences, the developers of the Antares rocket. I figured this would be enough.

One of the umbilicals on the second stage prematurely separated. Definitely a bummer. Way to play it safe.

If this theory proves true, it also proves the existence of "god" in the form of a programmer.

Has anyone set up a charity to raise money for the victims? Something to help pay for prosthetic limbs?

Great interview. I always thought of Western politics as being hypocritical, but it makes more sense to think of it as a state of delusion. The easiest way to make tough decisions like "go to war" or "bomb that place" is to believe it's the

This makes the justice system seem totally fucked. Yes, they are different cases, but they are intimately tied together. The justice system is punishing the same people that want to expose heinous crimes. It is punishing the same people tha

Dishonest men live at all levels. This doesn't solve the original problem: What you suggest won't solve the issue of investors taking advantage of startups or the other way around. They will simply play another looser version of the handsha

Agreed. I ended up going to college as my only option for higher education, played in a field that I only moderately enjoy, and have a bunch of debt that will follow me for many years.

I couldn't tell if this article was being sarcastic or not.

Sorry, my comment was poorly worded. I have no relation to the children. However, I was told that the shooter was a father of one of the children of the school, but that has not been confirmed.

A father of one of the children's... how does our society produce individuals like this? I know there are probably dozens of answers... edit: just to be clear, I am not a father of one of the children. I was told the shooter was a father of

True, nothing wrong with this, but a repercussion would be increasing interest rates, which would undoubtedly drive some debtors to default on their loans.
472.
by washedup 14y ago
Won't a result of this be an increase in the "cost" of debt, and hence interest rates on variable loans would raise for everyone else while other's are being paid off? Seems bad..

Well, in the article he said tat he did not care about direction, he would simple buy when his expected price was up, and sell when down. However, there could have easily been a bias in his model that "preferred" and performed better during

I disagree. The point of the article was the show the steps required to develop a statistical advantage in the market place. If you develop a robust model and are very diligent in how it executes and learns, you can be successful. However,

I have bought a couple satellite images from the USGS. The prints are large and very beautiful (and cheap). I would suggest checking it out (sorry for the horrible looking link): http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/display/(xcm=r3standardpi

Good point.. maybe there are "rings", or orbits with a high concentration of junk that justify the fuel?

Any way to develop a business model off this problem? Orbital garbage collectors. They would have to be traveling in the roughly the same orbit to collect a single piece of trash; surely a head on collision with a small piece of debris trav

True, there is certainly a level of healthy or optimal inflation. Careful though, trade is only useful if people are willing to spend their money on it. If they choose to hold their money because they believe that the good/service/trade isn
