Indeed. And what will Erin do with that money? She will give it to Tony in exchange for some service. What will Tony do? Pay that into his bank account. Which means the bank now has an extra $70 (assuming they keep a $10 reserve) that it ca

Maybe, but if you get laid off all bets are off really. Maybe it is different in the US, but in the UK I've known of cases of people who have been laid off who then went on the form competing companies. There may have been some law sui

Ok, I understand. On a slight side note he may not necessarily need to control the domain entirely, just have access to a privileged email address [1] However, now it seems you won't even need access to an email address. What would sto

I wonder if this is because Stanford students have better access to other sources of funding and thus less of a need to apply for first-step seed money.

That's all fine if you are the only person who will be touching that file. The problem is that most of the time a piece of code will have multiple developers working on it over time. Each dev will have a different perspective of what t

The Elements of Statistical Learning together with the online course ( http://www.r-bloggers.com/in-depth-introduction-to-machine-l... ) makes for a great introduction. EDIT: Oops I should have said "An Introduction to S
