Those are pretty standard in cryptography, the equivalent would be "foo" and "bar".

You are absolutely right. In matters of love and attraction fortune always favors the bold.

I love Taleb, I've been following his advice for a few years now and have found that absolutely nothing in my life has changed except having a lot more free time and a lot less str…

The consumers can and do. We collectively decided that a .99 cents for a song or $15 for a physical album isn't worth it. Equilibrium will eventually happen, the smart artists are …

That link was terrible and had no useful information pertaining to vitamin over usage or its effects. I did not know it was possible, but here is a much better link those intereste…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econometrics Econometrics is the science of modeling the economy. But like you said it's pretty much impossible to get calculations correct.

Seems like these "missing foundations" can easily be remedied by reading a couple of algorithm books.

I think it's still on sale.

The site was cool but I found it funny how every person on the most wanted list was hispanic or black. But at least only one was because of drugs, the others committed legitimate c…

Very cool! Thanks for the info, that was exactly the type of advice I was looking for. I've only used postgres as a backend for metasploit so my background is limited. I'll definit…

I'm 23, and received my degree in finance this May. While trading forex I came across something called a Java API, started the online Stanford Java course, and from that point is w…

I think that number is very reasonable. Zerohedge.com is very libertarian and they also use the 23% number provided by shadowstats.

Texas is hardly small government. I would call them more right-wing conservatives (neo-cons really).

Please give me some links. Here is a nice debate with Bruce Schneier. "In the entire decade or so of airport security since the attacks on September 11th 2001, the TSA has not foil…

And yet no terrorist attacks have occurred. So either people got more violent after 9/11 and therefore brought more weapons, or people were always bringing guns onto planes. I’d be…

I think there is a clear distinction between failing and lying then being exposed. Join a start up and it fails horribly? Turn around and join a big corp, no cares if you didn't ma…

I recommend Calculus Made Easy by Thompson. This book is short but complete. I read it at 22. I gave up on mathematics after my first college course but found that for everything I…

Your first line still rings true to me, it also reminds me of a quote. “If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em!” ― John Waters Though I remember re…

Makes me wonder if this guy has ever had a real, long term relationship. To each his own, sex just seems like a fun activity you do with someone that you really like and have feeli…

I would definitely get the money back, that's just me though.

When you have a project to complete in a time crunch and feel comfortable doing it in that language.

Well yes, the last three in your list are terrible exactly because they harm others. That is what I said. Weapons are like drugs, they don't necessarily hurt anyone unless you plan…

Why would that be any different from a weapons market? If either existed (in brick and motor or amazon style stores) I would frequent both regularly.
