As per the article: "It is unclear why this code misbehaved so badly on this particular machine. I assume that it is something to do with the layout of the almost-empty 2 TB disk."

It's a fine book. My learning after that book was to try to ask for and read the checklist for medical procedures my family members undergo. At least over here (the Netherlands) they are usually given without problem or even publically

It's a child of the 60s and with all that was going on quite fitting in that timeframe. Since then it's been corporized with trainers worldwide going for certifications to be allowed to use the name. (Another sign of the time, thi

You are right. Problem stated above only exists in the Netherlands since our lawmaker implemented an even broader warranty than mandated under EU law.

This will not help (enough). There is a problem with regards to other EU regulation regarding warranty. Suppose my appliance breaks down after three years. The seller should organise the repair and pay a major part of the cost (function of

The articles tone is like the Register but on vaginas. It's hardly serious and full of innuendo. For serious discussion, link to the scientific article?

Any investor / economist will tell you that making bets that fail is not the main point, knowing then to quit is. If these numbers are correct, any rational party to the deal should just walk away from these sunk cost. Any further incu

I would respectfully disagree. The builder of the AI should be trained in recognizing that his discrimination machine can be used for good and for bad. If the creation shows racist tendencies, it's an outcome of the machine but a funct

Interesting points. I'd say creative destruction is as volatile as it gets and 1% might be pretty large. On 95% of this planet the odds of creating a unicorn are about zero. Questions: How many 100B+ firms are there? How many arrived i

Have I gone overboard in remembering that Gauss-Markov is overrated? It's nice that some assumptions guarantee BLUE, but then there is real world data and modelling. Understand where your data come from, what distributions they have, w

When I was 16 two decades ago I loved music, went to concerts, knew the local bands and their entourages, visited the library to loan CD's to copy on tape, etc. I still discover albums of my favorite bands I've seem to have missed

Given the financial positions involved they could easily afford to (market cap order of 30 vs 200 billion USD, Intel free cash flow per quarter of 5-15 billion). Regulatory authorities probably wouldn't let them, but that is another ar

I'll be honest. I could be that guy giving seemingly contradictory advice. The first one is a general rule. To be applied in most cases. The second one is an advice in a specific situation. The situation might dictate going against the

Uhm, the Netherlands does? In Dutch [1]. There are a few mechanisms. One is a maximum price based on a basket of comparable countries. Two is a maximum insured price based on comparable medicines with mandatory co-payments above the average

And what if we bury it? Can we do landfills with the trunks of these trees, like filling up old brown coal mines? This was something that I was thinking about while driving past a few former mines in Germany. Great places to fill up with de

But that's the payment after co-payment by insurance or third party (in case of GGD the municipality). For a fair comparison I looked up the over the counter price of the generic medicine (or to be fair, public news about that price, I

I've checked and it's € 50 a month in the Netherlands for the pills. There is something else going on with that pricing. There are doctor fees on top of that, but a few checks a year will never consitute the $15k difference.

I've mentioned this more often, but at least in my part of the EU legal insurance is both common and affordable. My insurance helps me out with events over € 250 for about € 200 a year. That's perhaps still unwise in the grand sch

Honest question: How did GDPR gloss over it? That law is just as applicable to government as to business? And we have both GDPR and transparancy laws to aid those willing to search for transgressions. Only nit I know of is that fines to the
