The article misses the definition of "Black Swan" - you CANT bet on Black Swan events or farm Black Swans. If you could, it werent a Black Swan.

"The disproportionate role of high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology"[1]

No chrome crashs here (beta channel, sync enabled, germany, gmail tabs open), but Gmail was down too.

My experience in china was the same as the 2 commenters above... 2 most popular phones you see in Shanghai or Beijing are Galaxy Note (because you can enter chinese signs directly via pen!?) and iPhones!

Got the mail that the Nexus 4 is available at 9:39am, by then it was already sold out for 20mins (Germany)... a bit unlucky, today being the only day this week where i had an unskippable meeting at 9.

This launch was a big fail and especially if the shortage was planned, this will backfire at Google. You cant announce a big product launch (at a bargaining price) and then just have a few thousand units available (it cant be more, i was quite succesful in the Touchpad fire sales last year which lasted longer). Additionally the 9am launch (on a working day) wasnt even announced beforehand and google should have known (at least from E-Mail notification subscriptions) that demand outstrips supply by far.

Anyway, hope they can handle my scraping traffic now, waiting for new ones ;).

The real rational reason for buying lottery Tickets is unfortunately not mentioned.. You may not think of expected return but of a Chance to move up a bracket reg "Standard of Life" which would not be possible by other means. You wont move down a bracket by buying lottery Tickets (prob not even on a long term) - which makes it perfectly rational to play the lottery for some Kind of people (in the "poorer bracket") in my opinion.

Minimal and full of atmosphere? I would prefer DayZ then (even if it seems it has had its best days,at least as a mod). Never played another game which can be so intense and get you really frightened..

DayZ is also not "competitive" at its core (and Arma2 even has anti-cheat measures built in -> BattleEye)... this doesnt stop script kiddies from server-hopping and killing/teleporting every one (even though they have no benefit from it beside the "lulz")..

BTW, do you know, why Bloomberg switched from the old, more comfortable B-Units (as pictured above) to the new black ones, which dont feature a full fingerprint reader any more (instead you have to slide your finger over a smaller sensor)? The old design was way more comfortable, faster and produced less errors in my experience...

If that parasite is designed slightly aerodynamic (with a total volume of lets say 5-10 tons) and you have a vessel with 100k+ GT, i dont think that the difference in fuel costs will be noticable - the difference due to tide/winds etc. will be much bigger.

Had this discussion 2 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4488173

You don´t have accounts with MoneyMantra,Mitsukaru, Commerce Bank of Wyoming or the Central Bank of Bangladesh? Great rates!

Semes like a linkbaiting headline (of the original article) once again... Don´t see these "1 MILLION" accounts anywhere an neither the mentioned blog post [1] nor the original announcement at pastebin [2] does mention that. (EDIT: The pastebin statements indeed mentions "one million accounts/records leaked", buy thats not quite the same imho (emphasis on "records").

The blog post states explicitly that "a lot of the stolen content did NOT include any sensitive information".

Im using the UX31A daily since ca. 1 month... ive red the complaints about backlight bleeding and the 1mm higher cassis on the left while opened - laughable in my view. I am absolutely satisfied so far, great Performance, great Keyboard and an amazing high resolution ips screen which is also great for working outside...

Definately prefer it to any current MBA.

@jaytaylor The main reason for my part is that most/all my projects are pure python so far and im way more familiar with (C)Python and its libraries (numpy/scipy fe), dependencies, etc. than i am with Java. I like Jython too, but if i had the opportunity to do everything in pure Python i would ditch it nevertheless!

Looks good!

Has anyone tried this for accessing a Java Socket API? (e.g. Interactive Brokers API) Im currently using Jython but would love to switch to "real" Python, unfortunately i am still a noob when it comes to get these things working..

Yep, i liked the crypto course a lot too (took part in the first iteration in March).

The problem is that there is basically no "service" at all. The first iteration was delayed by several weeks (without any prior notice or status update) and there were several problems with the certificates (Ive gotten less programming credits than I should have and others had similar problems) but got no chance to get this corrected.

I guess thats the problem with free courses (and thats the reason I would like to pay some fee for it): You can just record the lessons once and afterwards repeat the course how often you want with very little updates - and very little help/service for students.

I would recommend to pick the free Stanford class... great intro to (classical) ML: https://class.coursera.org/ml/class/index

Just did that via "send feedback".

Many thanks, apart from that i didnt find any bugs so far and everything works as on my local machine via the Dropbox integration!

Any chance for adding Jython?

Edit: Apparently there are some bugs with the Dropbox snyc. When trying to open a .txt file (in the same shared Dropbox dir) I always get an IOError...

output=open("proj4-suc.txt","r") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'proj4-suc.txt' (but it is shown in the file explorer too..)

I really like the ongoing Crypto course - it will be interesting to see how they implement classes in disciplines like healthcare or history. But obviously they are making good use of their recently raised $16m [1] [1]http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3857184

I think your expectations match pretty good with MITx's recently started C&E course: https://6002x.mitx.mit.edu/

Wow, im excited what people are doing out of this (especially in combination with other new tools like Meteor).

Seems there is a huge development ongoing to reflect new development and scaling practices...

EDIT: REALLY like the RT-Chat on the site - that is showcasing as it should be (and not just another "Demo" button).

Quite interesting is also their approach to finding positions via voting on an open online platform (which is open sourced by the way: http://www.public-software-group.org/liquid_feedback ) where each member can vote itself and also delegate its vote for different topics to other members.

Like that one? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIGzpi9lCck&feature=youtu...

baahhh cologne, prefer an alt on the right side of the rhine... ;)

changing the world instead of hitting the jackpot? Sounds like what business majors are pretending too nowadays...
