I'm curious about the claim "any complex model". Really? ANY complex model?[1] Is this the silver bullet? The Holy Grail? After testing it on two "complex" (definition please) models?
So yeah, I was curious and it looks like they are doing sparse parameter estimation of sorts. I wonder how they deal with non-uniqueness and convergence on local maxima.
What is just as import is knowing parameter sensitivity. If a parameter does not add much to the accuracy of the model, throw it out. This has it's own pitfalls and is why modeling is a black art.
I'll have to dig deeper into it but this is my first impression.
[1] I had a Prof. with a PhD from MIT. It was his favorite phrase "we can model any situation using equation ". Of course this was after making assumptions which resulted in the problem becoming linear with deterministic behavior and a unique solution. I wasn't impressed.
No if you do not discuss and focus on the root causes it will never change. You will have more and more reactionary forces crawl out of the woodwork which will make matters worse. That is another goal of terrorism, to make their opponents look worse than the terrorist are. Mao said it in his "Little Read Book", and it worked.
Two days after a terrorist attack we are talking about going to the mall. Why don't we talk about something important like the role of climate change in the unrest in Europe. Or the failure of conventional Economic theory in the West.
Yawn.... same old model. Cab companies have been leasing to prospective drivers for years and car companies, rental agencies, and dealership have been leasing for years to other drivers.
Wake me when they come up with something truly innovative. You know, something that is new and not just has "on a mobile device" or "on a computer" tacked on the end.
One aspect of dorm living was being forced to deal with people you may not agree with and never have met. At a local Uni. they have something called "Residential Learning Communities" where students united by interest can live together. I have a problem with it as it creates an insular intellectually inbred community. I think getting thrown in with random people is more realistic, as you often have no choice who you will have to deal with in real life.
And if you live on the 8th floor you extend planks between your dorm window and your neighbors so you could visit and drink beer while enjoying the view. WHen I think of the insane shit we did when I was at the Uni. I cringe....
Includes not only Bernie, Hillary, Warren, Unions, and Environmentalists; but some Conservatives are referring to it as "Obamatrade". Not quite ringing support from the Conservatives. The overall vote might be dicey if the Dems and independents abandon Obama and pick up a modicum amount of support from the Republicans.
I know of no agreement that, while increasing profitability while impoverishing people. I am trying to parse through this. and see what implications there are.
OK, if I am reading it right these CoLo hubs is GE putting all their eggs into one basket. Are they setting themselves up for a single point of failure?
I've work for state and Federal Gov't. as well as small, mid-sized, and Fortune 500 companies. In my experience there is nothing as inefficient and wasteful as a Fortune 500 company. Small to mid-sized businesses were the leanest and most efficient, with gov't. coming in behind them.

More like state capitalism, aka fascism.
BUt only a Northern European can command that army..... doh!
Every major company in the world desires a command economy; "buy our product even if it is crap", e.g. MS.
