But understanding the past isn't what science is about. That's the field of History.
I believe GP was refering to the fact that socio-sciences (or whatever) don't have repetable/testable experiments, so you're continuously stuck fitting your models to past data---and since there's an infinite number of models that will perfectly fit past data, none of such models are useful for future prediction (especially since the future is always different from the past). Sure you might get lucky once in a blue moon (e.g. predict a coming recession, or something), but chances are, your model is very wrong (the next recession will have unforeseen causes and will not be predicted).
Unpossible. Guilty until proven innocent. He wasn't even read his rights, and has no right to counsel (according to news articles). Not sure what's scarrier---the bombings or the process.
All this implies that there are 4700 empty seats in those gifted schools. There aren't. Very likely other folks with 96.98 percentile got in due to their b-days falling out onto the same month as someone a week younger and same exact grade on the same exact exam. In other words, by most measures, the folks in these schools are "just as" gifted as the folks who missed out due to the error (bad luck).
I second this recommendation! Unfortunately most college folks don't understand this at all...
Google isn't about apps... it's about data... Facebook isn't about apps... it's about data... Financial analysis isn't about..err..money... it's about data... at the end of the day, it's ALL about data, how to search it, manipulate it, transform it, transmit it, learn from it, etc., (in sql, hadoop, hive, map-reduce, perl, java, anything!). And this skill isn't likely to ever become irrelevant; there's more data every day gathered by just about all corporations---and every one of them does something with all that data... and will do something *new* with that data in the future.
You listed exactly the reasons everyone thinks it's a bubble... you can't usually see such things coming, and it seems impossible that the well could dry up instantly... and yet it often does. (e.g. rewind your reasons to year 2000... ``Every brand wants or has [a web] app''...)
Second problem: since these are the leading minds and you execute them, the next batch will necessarily be dumber (or at best equal) than the current one.
...which iteratively solves the overpopulation problem:-)
or similar stuff from Date::Manip in perl... so much more convinient to setup loops from "yesterday" to "last week"... as opposed to worring about actual dates, etc.
Dunno. Napkin: 250000000000000 / (120*60*48*2); ~2 hour movie (120 minutes), 60 seconds per minute, 48 frames per second, one for left-right eye (2); or ~360MB per-frame. Perhaps a dozen or so layers per frame (different lighting models, shadow models, etc.,) leaves ~30MB per ``frame layer'' in super-duper-master resolution losslessly compressed. Animation paths/models/textures/voices, etc., also probably take up quite a bit, but likely not nearly as much as the raw image data.
Hmm... so a tax on top of a tax on top of a tax...since I don't see them stopping to tax profits, this will be right on top of those (and if you don't make any profits---I guess you'll still be on the hook for this softwate as a service tax).
Due to this whole fiasco, the name "Tesla" is showing up in the news quite a bit recently---in the end, this will be followed by a triamphant news story on all major networks about ``Tesla range confirmed'' (very likely). This is amazingly good advertising at virtually no cost to the company.
Most folks don't actually do 9-5 five-days-a-week of productive work every week these days... but reducing their workweek to 4-days is somehow not popular (especially if corp has to pay the same amount anyway, or alternatively employees taking a 20% pay cut).
Adding (paid, federal) holidays (like, a LOT of holidays) may have the same impact. Imagine an extra holiday every month giving everyone an extra 3-day weekend every month. From the cultural perspective, I can imagine that being an amazingly great thing. Call it "moon day" or whatever, invent some hallmark theme for it, etc.

After the fact, they can predict how wrong they were :-)

I don't think Machine ever refered to ``machine'' as in computer or mechanical thing... it refered to IBM itself being a business machine.
So, the point is that the thesis was correct
Except it took more time to learn that dime in 1942 than it does today to earn $3.
True. Also, most EE I know work in the software industry... They may not know EE, but they're often better programmers than computer science grads! :-)
Hmm... the state could securitize those tickets into a municipal bond and solve all their budget problems!

What is "big" is probably the apache logs :-)
any news is good news?

To get more actors into movie, they could set story on a bus... that just cannot go below 55mph... or something.
...They'll do what they must.
Hard assets don't usually fall... stocks with lots of future optimism priced into them often do.
Not a bad idea... really!

Alt+F4, Alt+F4, Alt+F4, Alt+F4, Alt+F4, Alt+F4, Alt+F4 ...I'm sure someone will hit it (even now :-).
Never trust guys with names that end in 'ell' ...or start with.
...and rate on that loan must be bigger than what they'd expect to make via stock.
Meaning almost 1/3 of the current stock value is backed by actual cash in the bank.
Not sure if you realize this or not, but this is actually a horribly bad thing. A company sitting on a mountain of cash is a dying beast.
