For me, the takeaway is that we are in an infantile stage when it comes to modeling real economic systems. The takeaway for Austrian School people is "you have no chance to survive. Make your time!"
Well, the name is sequential based on year so you can guess within a year or two pretty easily. It also has Unicode characters of dubious displayability. And a monkey.
This bank bailout crap has been a fiasco in terms of loosening up money, which also needs to happen. The other prong of recovery is often new private enterprise, which is fueled by large numbers of skilled workers who are no longer employed, but that usually requires some start-up capital, and that's problematic right now.
Yeah, that's funny because western Travis County regularly prescribes boiling your water before using it because the wells dry up and the water supply is not reliable.
I figure the myth came about because pure water doesn't have any nutritive benefit apart from being water (unlike your regular complement of minerals in the tap).
I tried it, but it never even loaded for me. Though I found out later that the local traffic here (university) was incredibly high so that probably had a lot to do with it.
It was sad to see that every major video outlet fell on its face with this thing. I had to listen to CNN Radio because every video feed I could find was stuttering unlistenably, at best (most were just dead).
The closest to usable was Hulu, but they were still craptacular and unwatchable. How can they even pretend they could replace television?
At least with 9/11 I had Slashdot. No luck today though. -l
I understand what you're saying. I haven't read the book you've recommended -- however, I thought the holographic principle meant that information on the horizon is by definition a duplicate of what's in the bulk. Therefore, two accelerated observers (quasar and Milky Way, e.g.) might disagree on certain aspects of the overlapping spacetime. I can see how if it's the whole universe, there's no disagreement. It's just the smaller ones I'm trying to understand.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something about the nature of information here. -l
Do you know if the holographic principle designed such that the surface of the
"sphere" is the visible universe or somewhere out beyond the locally
accessible universe?
I'm just concerned that there might be disagreement between the visible
"spheres" in the light cones of two arbitrarily overlapping "spheres".
E.g., the light cone of a quasar 11 bn ly away might disagree with the
information in our light cone where they overlap.
I would argue your logic only applies to a small percentage of schools. With the vast majority of schools and jobs, the PHB is looking for "MBA", "BS CS", whatever, and could care less about the institution.
Having a larger number of people with a bachelor's degree does not make it worth less. Having a large number of people who don't know anything have a bachelor's degree makes it worth less.
I don't think this is what you were thinking about when you wrote that, but economically speaking, it is worth less if more people have one. Having said that, I think the most important thing about college is for you to choose to get as much out of it as possible. That is something economics cannot take from you.
I think the key here is that you're imagining the black hole as being "what's beneath the event horizon" whereas most are like the sun where you have various layers before you get to the core. The "atmosphere" is the part that is carrying the charge.
It's rare, but you can get things like Swyer syndrome, where an apparently normal girl gets to be around sixteen and has never had a period or other signs of puberty. Examination reveals the girl has no functional ovaries and actually has a Y chromosome.
This came up in the... Barcelona Olympics? I forget exactly, but there was a woman runner and during the course of testing, they discovered she's genetically male. They decided to let her run in the women's races, despite that. I read about it in my Child Developmental Psych textbook (which is at home, alas). It would make a great anecdote for that wikipedia article you cited.
You probably get frustrated with a lot of video games or first person shooters.
And nothing of value was lost!
I'm just being facetious. I play video games, though not first person shooters cause they're boring. Mainly I watch movies for character anyway so this crappy "let's make the action more intense through a very fake looking camera shaking" doesn't add anything for me. I don't like it because it detracts from the action, IMO. This is independent of my dealing with it, which is poorly, because it irritates me and is a little disorienting. Not disorienting in a good way like when you see 2001 for the first time, but disorienting in a "I *was* watching a movie but now there's all this annoying shaking breaking my suspension of disbelief".
The other problem with it is it can be done more or less tastefully. Usually, it's waaaaay over the top. Then they make it worse with some fake looking color scheme (like that white-out look in Saving Private Ryan and Band o Brothers). It just makes for an over-the-top, anesthetized look.

No kidding. I'm not a huge fan of bash scripting, but as a big commandline user, I am looking forward to the ** globbing.

Hrm. If it is possible to collect the particulate and magnetize it, it could be useful for testing future moon equipment.
