According to the first article, Shiller said in 1996 that stock prices were at irrationally high levels. In 2005, he predicted a real estate bubble. Noticing that a bubble is developing, I would say, is the relatively easy part; predicting

Though T-Mobile seems to have adopted an interesting strategy in the US - as a European customer I find their proposition not to be notably better than that of other carriers. Here, it takes European commissioners to lower international roa

The website or post in no way implies that this is the case. One reason to choose Syria is that the situation may be more acute than it is in most other places in the world at the moment. One reason to choose programmers could be that this

I think it does hurt the NSA's recruiting position indeed. The NSA naturally hires mostly technical people, and in general I think it is exactly this population that is disgusted most by what the NSA is doing. For me, the issue wouldn&

If I were PayPal, I wouldn't primarily be focused on buying items, as it would be very expensive strategy. I'd try sending sellers email first, indicating that you are interested in purchasing their product and asking them if they

They might be selling it as a users' benefit, but in the case of the Amazon app, users are at a loss. As long as the developers submit themselves to Apple's authority, Apple and its related products could offer superior service. M

This was a badly chosen example indeed: in many countries lawyers are obliged to continue studying and completing tests throughout the career. In fact, one of Holland's most prominent lawyers got suspended for not obtaining enough stud

I've abandoned purchases as well. When I know I might be missing out on a coupon, I go hunt for it. Most of the time I don't find the coupon I'm looking for, but I do stumble across (coupons for) other products, which might o

Compensating for the movement in the way you mention it shouldn't be too hard I guess. I'm curious if they will need to compensate for the speed differential between the source and the target. Can anyone explain if the following w

Interesting post. I'm not fond of declaring her mentally ill based on the offenses she has committed. Clearly, she isn't living an ordinary life, but plenty of ordinary people have used drugs, drank alcohol, trespassed and stole d

True - you would have to set rules in place that would prevent any kind of incentive for increased occupancy, and then create government bodies that enforce these rules. Also, you would have to set rules in place for many kinds of standards

It's sad that in my country, where prisons are currently run by the government, there exist plans for privatization. With privatization there's almost no benefits, and a lot of opportunities for trouble; it the Dutch government fe

It bothered me a bit too. What also bothered me was that I'm not sure if the conclusion of the research is correct. At least, from the fact that people who were asked to memorize more, we can't deduce that willpower and cognitive

Same here. I'm going to read this book and hope to learn more about functional programming and the Haskell language, while (hopefully) not being bothered with the kind of trivial examples that you commonly encounter in tutorials.

You can consider this problem in two ways. Either you see the need for increasing the patent lifetime - at least for certain drugs - or you consider this a weakness of a privatized pharmaceutical industry, and take it as an argument in favo

It is time for software companies to unite. Feds can't just continue roaming around, asking companies for their users' password hashes and other things. In the current state, some big companies have the means to fight such reques

Obama does it again. He tries to play down the domestic upheaval by telling its citizens that they are not the primary subject; foreigners are. He did the same thing with Prism, and I don't know why the rest of the world just accepts i

In statistics there is a "golden rule", that when np > 5 and n(1-p) > 5, then the normal distribution is a good approximation for the binomial distribution. Here n is the number of experiments and p is the conversion rate. O
