I often think about functional programming as a directed graph consuming information.

The author addresses the potential benefits of immutability and laziness in a note on cover trees[0]. Last time I checked, this is still the world's fastest NN algorithm. Haskell could shine in numerical computing. I think the key is p

Akerlof's: If you don't know whether you are being sold a lemon, you probably think you are, and will only pay lemon prices. Hence brands and hence public market information openness. Minsky: stability begets hubris begets instab

Fishing for them as a kid, they were notorious for playing dead, then jumping out of the bucket and waddling back down the bank. Smart fish.

Does anyone know why communication is being shut down? Can they leave it on so we can get telemetry?

I was at a meeting just yesterday, where I said, the state borrows when rates are low. Just like SimCity.

The army is secular. Every 20 years they remove some dictator or zealot that the system seems to throw up regularly. I'm not sure if there's been a split in the armed forces before, but the police always cop a hammering.

It might start off with version control, but it would then end with us gulping plump helmet slurpees watching the latest cgi DF-Marvel tie in at the local megaplex. Leave the brothers be, and let future historians earn their pay.

I wish 'programming' included teaching our kids how to be proficient users of technology. How to effectively google, how to bring up a terminal, ssh to another machine, how to secure your privacy are the type of skills I hope are

In practice, it's the opposite. Switching may be a sign that you are a bad driver but it's also a sign that you are price sensitive which is usually the more important signal. Never switch and you are flagged as price insensitiv

It's a grey area legally, and is usually prevented by ethics committees and industry bodies. Practically, if you collect the information you run the risk of a large anti-discrimination suit down the track. The usual proxy for race&#x2

Rents can be seen as a future cash flow stream, at least partially protected from erosion by competition, that is a reward for past efforts. In a world where interest rates decline after the establishment of the rent, super-normal profits f

Modern FP thinks of object oriented processes as comonadic. See http://www.haskellforall.com/2013/02/you-could-have-invented... for a good exposition.

A major fault line in the current economic system is the concept of 'right to work'. The current structure presumes that the right to receive a proportion of economic goods of a society should be strongly associated with employme

I disagree. The evidence in quotation, plot detail and story-line convinced me it was either Pynchon or a brilliant mimic. None else does it like this.

> To begin, I’m going to illustrate a mathematical fact. 'growth' rate is likely to be a geometric constant, not an arithmetic one. A 0% growth rate followed by a 6% growth rate is not 3% geometric growth on average. 100% grow

And ditto the reaction of the community. No aggressive denunciations or vindictive chat - just calm and helpful trouble shooting. +1 for the culture they have created.

Thanks Beagle, and I appreciate the sentiment and goodwill behind your comments. I remain optimistic, however irrational that seems. Big Finance is oriented to Big Data crunch-and-run processes as you describe. A highly non-linear, inclusi

I'm thinking of a much shorter time horizon. The problem with long-term investing right here and now is that potential possible futures include many where the long-run risk-asset investor ends up with a big fat zero. Someone, somewhe
