Not quite... just looking at wikipedia for interpretations of quantum physics will give you an idea of how much disagreement can be between scientists. Or on how the little world really is: I have an acquaintance whose wet dream is busting string theory, something he says is "delusional". All science because they have scientific knowledge, yet they all disagree:).
In TFA, it says that those 147 are mostly financial companies, and they are also umbrella-companies, holding stocks from a wide range of other, smaller companies. They also say that they are so interlocked, that any speck of instability hurts them all, like Bear Sterns (it's still there because the data employed is from 2007).
What's interesting is that the authors say at the end that this is not unexpected: they are quite the way natural structures develop.
Poverty is a complex, multicausal phenomena, as any sociologist, statistician, or demographer can tell you, and should be analyzed with a systemic perspective. Malaria, as any other health issue, is an indicator of poverty, but also a cause of poverty. That's why we build indicators like "Disability-adjusted life year", "Year-Life Loss", and "Healthy Life Years": they are useful as health indicators and as proxies for economic potential. A purely economic solution for economic problems, which is what you emphasize (massive investment in startups) would have limited impact.
In layman's terms: malaria is expensive, both in social and economic terms. Getting rid of malaria would help a lot in reducing poverty, just by allowing that money to be invested elsewhere.
So... They are wary of having a disrupted or manipulated emergency network? They are wary of being eavesdropped by a company with dubious credentials? Just like me, I guess. What's insightful about it?
But let's say Huawei does the same thing Cisco and other big players do, the only difference is it's reported as "eavesdropping" instead of "cooperating with law enforcers". It would be just a case of a government being xenophobic. Business as usual.
I personally know three of the authors, so my accounting is more faithful:) . They didn't use Lotus Notes, as you said it's unworkable. Instead, they put together a mini front-end for the server: a diluted version of Notes, Notes a la Gmail (RTFA). Searching is also handled differently.
Then there is the other mod abuse what happens when someone sees a comment he really doesn't like...
On those cases, I've seen everyone mods "Overrated" a lot. There's someone with a signature on the lines of "'Overrated' is '-1 Disagree'", and I concur.
Relax, they give those prizes for science that makes you laugh, not for useless science.
A great example is the one about feeding Viagra to hamsters with jet-lag. It's insane, but now that's done, maybe we can use a cheaper/safer substitute based on its findings. The researcher was not offended at all: he even wanted to wear a hamster costume for the Ig Nobel ceremony (he couldn't find one, though).
You have a favorite, namely the printed paper. If both counts match, you go with the printed papers' number. If they don't, then you go with the printed papers' number. The only thing you have at the end is an expensive system that only gives you a measure on how humans and computers are accounting failures...
This is not a criticism against electronic vote; it's a criticism against counting twice.
My rationale was: if there's a free press, everyone can give its PoV. And, if everyone's privacy is respected, then anonymity is possible and they can speak freely without fearing retribution. But you raise an interesting point...
To verify the vote, simply count the paper-ballots the old-fashioned way, and compare the result with the results from the electronic voting.
Let's assume they don't match... What happens then? That's the problem with having two controls: you prefer one over the other, so you'll pay twice for the same information.
Why? You can just watch the videos instead of doing the homework, or watch them sometime later and do the homework then.
Maybe xmojox isn't around a PC for hours, because of his/her job, and spend a few more hours commuting. Maybe he/she has no tablet that's easily carried. We are not to judge. If we don't believe what's telling us, we may as well think this question is just an attempt at trollling and stop wasting our times.
But if you really had any interest you would be shifting around everything else, including sleep, to take fullest advantage of these classes in real time.
Worst. Advice. Ever. If you don't sleep at least six hours, you'll notice. It isn't sustainable.
On topic: Check Wikipedia's page for Game Theory and go to the citations. There you'll find a few books and other resources you can read.
Microsoft supported it, Google opposed it.
What more proof do we need that this act is evil?
OK
I strongly recommend reading it all because otherwise we risk to draw uneducated conclusions... we really need to take some time to fully research the subject...

+1 "I don't have mod points, but I like your interesting post"

...last time I checked, Assange was accused (not convicted) of rape.
He was accused and then acquitted. The extradition is for interrogation purposes.
Amen to that. :P
Agreed. This is not a political blog, why are we having these stories? Especially when we can get better quality by going to Al Jazeera...
Somehow they modded you Troll... ah, well.

Are you telling me US legislators don't have a clue of how the laws they passed are being interpreted?

Perhaps there are dissenting voices, but I find them by looking for Foes-of-friends, not by moderation. Since mod points equal level of exposure...

I hate to say this, because I know it's probably painfully obvious to most people, but I have no idea what you're talking about.
Don't let that get in the way of giving your opinion! ;)
You win, sir.
S car go! S car go!
Mmmm, "S car go"? Is this a pun about snails?

Pretty much my point...

I don't know...
I saw this study by Reporters Without Borders on freedom of the press, and the U.S. wasn't in the top 10%. Then, I saw this study by Privacy International on privacy, and it wasn't pretty for the US. Freedom of speech must be correlated to freedom of press and privacy. And sure, you can find studies about everything with any result... these are mine. :)
My point is that maybe, not in theory but in practice, sharing governance is the way to go if freedom of speech is the key indicator.

Lemme' guess... you used neutrinos.
My thoughts exactly. :)

If that's not ironic, I don't know what it is.
You were trolling, but you fail nonetheless. Variable speed of light is an exising theory.
