Yea I get that. He shouldn't use that statement to defend what he has done, and I agree with that. It got me thinking about many of the Web 2.0 funding and if is has been used for developments that improve society as a whole. Many times yes

That's true, but it doesn't make the statement less valid.

The most important point I gathered from this is that the pumping of stimulus in the form of fiat currency has no meaning if it doesn't spur new forms of technological breakthroughs. The value of the currency comes from a foundation, and th

are there other programs like this but with a focus on aerospace/aeronautics?

Good point. There is a cost/benefit balancing for attaining more data which may turn out to be useless. However, technology is increasingly pushing us in a direction that allows us to capture more data at a cheaper cost.

Today the storage of more data is negligible. There are alternatives to Hadoop. However, to capture new variables that exist in your market place definitely takes time and money.

Agreed. Intelligent Data seems like a very messy term. In Big Data we use many different processes to figure out what the "intelligent" relationships are, or what variables really express strong relationships. This is one of the biggest cha

this approach to networks blows my mind.. how can someone break into this field, already having some programming knowledge?

Great advice. I really enjoy #1. It would certainly streamline the process. What if you don't want to company to hold the deal through Groupon? Some sort of real-tile screening process?

This is great. Coase Theorem explains governments as naturally large corporations, or at least an entity similar to a for profit corporation. Brilliant. Yes, governments create laws; unlike other corporations, they have surpassed the thres

this makes perfect sense. the Fed, over the last decade, has run a policy of credit expansion, followed by liquidity expansion since 2007. this is always priced in as a positive movement in equities, but many people believe that this is an

"Force" seems a little strong. However, I am surprised I heard nothing about it until the change was already made. That's the part that makes me uneasy.

Great email... I will follow suit. They cut off the listings right in the middle of a search and it took me a little while to figure out what happened.

Well, currently we do all our development work in R, and use the 3rd party software to simulate and build the trading mechanisms. However their software is limiting and slow. The idea is to develop, simulate, and trade the strategies using

My initial thought is that the RNGs are connected over the internet, and not a separate closed network. The information from these RNGs are collected at a central location (Princeton?). If this is true, then couldn't a world-news worthy eve

I wasn't trying to be a jerk. I really think that inflation is a big part of it, and that the way we currently measure inflation can be misleading, especially since CPI is measured sans energy/food costs. A large part of the Arab Spring had

I think as the world becomes more connected (in terms of trade, culture, the internet, etc), the probability of a world-war increases. Violence/war itself seem to be an inherent characteristic of our species. Although the per-capita amount
