I don't think you read their comment correctly. They are saying that their is no downside, outside of running foul of laws and regulators, for banks to take money without review instead of flagging transactions as suspicious. Your resp

They have invested in their tech team which is both infrastructure and expense. How much of the ~$10 billion it's worth is up for debate, but zeroing it's value is absurd.

Any good research Uni's psych department will have some TMS studies going on over the course of a year. You'll probably have to do a repetitive task and they probably won't be doing any diagnostics (for that you're way b

High star generalship is more politics than military ability at this point. http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/11/general-... for one discussion of this.

Why? The tsunami killed more people than the radiation is estimated to even with the most generous estimates of how many people will get sick from radiation. Hell, even the stress/evacuation caused by the worry of radiation is likely t

Many multiples? Try two to three, currently. "For instance, there seems to be a consensus that the most lucrative cab market in the world is in Japan, where yearly revenues are estimated to be about $20 billion to $25 billion just in T

That's an absurd proposition. Even if you have an incredibly cynical view of humanity, it's extremely unlikely to be unable to find someone in a government with power who holds any reasonable common position of the general popul

It's a far cry from The Red Scare, though, which was his point.

What crops we grow can change drastically. Alfalfa for China is one example of using a significant portion of agricultural water use (in the solid single digits) that doesn't provide much benefit locally.

Computerized statistics and online journals/digitized libraries are ENORMOUS advancements in the scientific process.

He's right. It's an low cost way to be mostly right. There are much worse tradeoffs to be made. Assuming that science news corresponds to scientific results will get one in trouble though.

What military? Most have different requirements for soldiering and officering that don't allow track switching. In modern ones, it's level of schooling, while in older ones it might be nobility of blood. You'd have an extreme

Do you know of any good sources to read up on this? I'd always thought that the rise of plea dealing was linked to minimum sentencing guidelines.

Research works best when the subjects of long term studies can see and react to the data they are generating in real time. Anti-blind trials are the future. /s

Engineering != science || medicine. It can be used in both, and can use science, but that doesn't make it the same thing. P.S. http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/1524537 is a study on parachute effectiveness

Except that's not what's being said: "Why blocks make Ruby methods 439% slower" implies something that isn't happening here, at least to me.

Is this 400-500% true for more expensive operations inside of the block? It seems like he's just comparing the cost of procs to the cost of 1+1. I don't think the generalization has been established here.
