I think you can correct for the false-positives to some extent. I am more skeptical of the computational load of basically testing all sorts of relationships. They have an approximate algorithm for doing that.

So the idea is pretty simple. Basically, they are asking, what is the mutual information between two variables? For those without a background in Inf. Theory: mutual information basically measures the amount of detail involved in knowing th

From a free market perspective, do the women then have a competitive advantage in being hired? (Since the company can get the job done for less). Also, why does the company simply hire at the lower end of the wage level since they can appar

Increasing the bid/ask spread will increase volatility, rather than decrease it. With a low spread, if you think the prices are going to rise tomorrow, a lot of people will buy today, thus smoothing out tomorrows peak.

As I understand it, this will also help other people. Since the more people who join the registry or donate to it, the higher the chance that some other patient will find a match. If it takes some people plastering the web, so be it. In fac

Is there something like this for Linux and Windoze?

I guess they would use some embedded systems/instrumentation stuff to run the equipment.

Does anybody know of jobs for computational scientists, programmers, and techies in these industries for people over here who wouldn't mind moving to ND for a few years?

One way to use the older city areas would be to be able to construct modern buildings in them. Unfortunately, the alternative to suburbia is old, awkwardly divided apartments made out of older houses with inefficient heating and AC, and lit

Compiling a small list of Tor users and grabbing un-protected data could still be substantial though.

I thought one of the more dangerous threats in Tor was the possibility of someone running compromised exit (or entry) nodes? Why didn't they do that instead of blocking it?

I'd love to use bitbucket instead of github (since they allow free privste repos), but they need to have an online editor. I think they should just run through more of the feature requests.

The comparison would be more apt if abolishing slavery just meant that you couldn't employ black people on plantations. But those people were given rights to work for a wage, buy property with their earnings, or run businesses. What you hav

"""every event in the past and future is implicit in the current moment. """ I didn't think so (according to current physical theories). We don't know where a particular photon will land in a double slit experiment.

Regulation would mean people being certified by the Louisiana Board of Computer Programming for the Wizwoz system 2.0. Yuck! Some of the software industry will move abroad, but even more most large countries will start having local markets.

One of the big reasons that lawyers and doctors make a lot more money is because they use regulation and the coercive power of the state for the benefit of their cartel. You are going to get a top of the line lawyer and pay through the nose

My point was that that a govt or bank can't "cheat" by leveraging it or counterfeiting it. Yes, if very large accessible reserves were found, one's savings in gold would be hurt but it would would not happen simply at the diktat of a govern
