If I had a no-paywall URL I'd give it. I love ft.com because it's harder hitting that many US publications in the same space. And here they are really onto to something.

It's inevitable.

Super nice. Thank you for posting.

Agree. And another thing: Brett talks too much.

An outstanding one-liner. Where/who's it from?

I am happy to read to a piece which gives friendly fire to the left and the right. We need more of these. My own tired example "half of the fraud" is fiscal management: one-half fo…

Oresteia - Aeschylus: is great read!

Whatever the root reason this is now conflict over control. Therefore you need to know your legal contractual options and obligations and his plus whatever poison pills or repercus…

Agree! Let's not think leather shoes and shirt cuffs is always better. There's a long running issue with fee-for-service giving what the client wants. Ok to be fair to banks they c…

I worked at Broderbund testing this. Hired out of an arcade by a Broderbund guy in San Rafael.

Thank you for bringing smarter, better information. I stand corrected then. >a^4 = b^2 = 1, a^3 b = ba >has exactly eight elements I suppose the missing issue (or at least the one …

When I wrote: "then you can do line symmetry of (a+b)+c through c and on and on an on and on ... until at some point you've played through all the symmetry on all the permutation a…

>understanding that the reads or sequences are long So why slice and replicate slices? All that makes more noise. The wikipedia seems to suggest (or I infer) that one can't merely …

Good question. I think I screwed up a bit, and typed things up too fast. For multiplication the identity element is 1, and therefore inverses relate to 1 not 0 like addition. So wh…

I really do like Quanta Magazine but it sometimes bogs down in background for 75% of the article hardly saying anything about the subject in hand. Anything vaguely concerning group…

I'm gonna try this link out and see where it goes. Thank you.

I would be eternally grateful to a bio-chem person to explain two facets of DNA sequencing I've never understood. To motivate the question a short quote from Wikipedia: "For longer…

The post you reply to states that PRC sits on top law and that the law is designed to prop up its political power. When the two conflict the law is changed accordingly to the benef…

Well stated. Thank you.

I like this comment a lot. It's new perspective here. Of course capitalism is great. The US is only 25% of China's population and still we produce well. China copied of lot of capi…

Like the post, and use of definitional concepts. Useful. Thank you.

Amen to that! Giving a damn is absolutely needed. See longer response elsewhere this comment section.

Interesting read. Coincidentally this is a current conversation at our office (10K+ FTEs): use/extend open-source or develop institutional proficiency at aspects of distributed com…

Some financial service providers (i.e. those who do NOT buy low sell high) might try to move into the custodial market. Assessing the risk there is beyond my pay grade I don't know…
