This is exactly why I am on my way out. I have worked as a quant for traders for the past 5 years, and I am running out of patience. It's tough because Chicago is such a heavy financial hub. I have decided to move to a new city and try

Than such a payout would miss a lot of work that went into development of the code.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

Seems like they are running experiments and collecting data to test their hypothesis. Doesn't that count as science? Or do you call it trash science simply because the hypothesis seems unreasonable?

Good point. Lot's of opportunity will open up for the people of Cuba and developers in the US if connections are made and firewalls come down.

True. It's the driving force behind any service economy or market place.

Anyone on here have day-to-day experience using Julia? If so, what do you use it for? What languages are you supplementing with Julia?

Couldn't agree more that the opposition is real. I have witnessed much of it living in a divided city like Chicago. The most difficult question about it is what we can do to shift government attention and resources? Not in the form of

R-Squared of 0.33?? Not a great fit, considering the sample size.

This is a nice way to visualize spatial data of homicides in a city, but it doesn't really "make meaning out of the chaos." All it does is show areas where homicides are more likely to occur. The connections themselves are ra

Yea, that's definitely an improvement. I would prefer if there was some sort of "cohesion" measure among the moshing particles. Groups, no matter how small, tend to stick together.

What's interesting is when there are a lower number of people, say 100. With so much space, the "moshers" tend to just go in one direction until they bump into another person, but this isn't really accurate. There needs

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the exercises?

Nailed it. The happy/lame/sappy music with little chimes, fast paced rhythm, and soft strumming acoustic that can be heard in commercials like this has started to make me go insane.

I found some better sources and cleaned up the links. Thanks for pointing that out. The purpose of the links is to shed more light on what is happening and the relationships among the companies and government bodies.

Agreed, which is why I am hoping for a joint contract.

The most (potentially) exciting part of this news would be the joint venture between Blue Origin (who has been developing engines for the past decade) and Boeing to make this happen.

These were awards handed out to a few companies in 2012 so that they could develop their capsule technology. After a couple years, NASA planned to select one of the companies (out of SpaceX, Sierra Nevada, and Boeing) to fully test and even
