What part of the national park would you say isn't in the Highlands? It's not all in the Highland Council area but that's not all of the Highlands:

Maybe Ballater - I wouldn't put that in the Highlands although Braemar clearly is!

Apart from along the Highland Boundary Fault I think the actual boundary of the Highlands is fairly fuzzy anyway :-)

I believe that raising interest rates would cause a pretty large fall in housing prices in cities that have large foreign ownership.

With interest rates rising, the bid for housing will drop accordingly and many of these investment properties would immediately be put on the market to extract full value from them which would cause a glut of supply. This would further cause prices to fall.

This would be a good time for someone with a huge cash downpayment (or cash outright) and the prospect of actually living in the place full time to purchase a property in these areas.

Honestly, until then it makes more sense to rent if you can't afford to pay cash outright due to maintenance fees, property taxes and so on. In NYC buying a condo with 20% down is foolish right now, for instance. Especially if interest rates do indeed begin to rise. Better off saving as much cash as possible and waiting for rates to rise which should cause plenty of investment properties that are rarely lived in to go on the market to quickly harvest the proceeds.

Environmental Ethics in a Post-Natural World

I generally agree with you, but there's one problem with the physical key analogy. The security of physical keys is weak enough that there's always a fallback if you lose all the copies of your key: you pay a locksmith to come pick the lock and rekey it.

You can't do this with digital keys because a digital key that is weak enough for this strategy to be usable is also too weak to protect you from the main class of attacks it's supposed to be protecting you from.

3 Ways to Level Up Your ELearning Games
I see an awful lot of from-a-state-of-nature fairy tales in economics, which is usually employed to justify a bunch of garbage moralizing about how markets are supposed to be. It's almost as bad about it as political philosophy—and oh, god, when political philosophers write about economics...
Ooo, there's a hefty underlying assumption in your post.

I have previously taken people off the street, three times.
I do not currently have anyone living in my home because I have moved back to my disabled Mums which is a 3 bedroom house already with 5 people living there.

Why am I living at my Mums?

I give 100% of my time to helping others and i'm in the process of starting a social enterprise to develop technology to help others in a variety of situations. We've already designed and nearly finish an app to help women in domestic violence situations, tools to help kids with dyslexia, tools for autism. Every penny will go back into creating more tools and technologies to help.

Then I can buy an Island. Yep, i'm not even kidding that's my ambition.

"What percentage of your income are you donating to support refugees? Why is that percentage not higher?" - I currently give no funds to refugees because I put all of my funds into creating other projects to help others in different domains. I feel that investing in these which will generate more income will give more income to help more people.
Immense Processing possibilities of quantum computing
Intel SGX is possibly huge. With a trusted enclave that's verifiable, you could do things like verify that a server is actually running certain code (like a bitcoin mixer).

Of course it also allows real DRM, where a remote server can verify you're running unmodified code.

But how does the key management work?

My personal interest is the continuing quest for a machine strong enough to develop, but not warm my hands at all. Macbooks are insanely hot (how can Apple even pretend to be about quality with those designs??), X250 ThinkPads is "alright" if I aggressively throttle the processor. Seems like the perf improvements are effectively dead so maybe we'll see cool laptops. Though OEMs seem to screw up as much as possible so who knows...
I think this is a great idea.

It's easy to hate the concept of immigration and, by extension, the thought of millions of immigrants pouring into your home country. In fact, we're hardwired to have an aversion to this idea. Humans have always formed small units such as families or tribes in order to compete with other humans for limited resources. Immigrants are easily lumped together into a menacing tribe of competitors.

But when you host someone, they stop being "just another immigrant" and you can start to see them for what they were the whole time: a real person with a voice, a smile, sorrow, joy, tastes, quirks, humor, goals, and dreams. Empathy is crucial.

It's not going to solve the larger problem of the millions of immigrants displaced by war or corrupt governance, but it probably will have a positive impact on thousands of lives, which is an awesome outcome for a small group of people looking to make a change through technology.

Spire is a global nano-satellite powered data platform. We build and launch small remote-sensing "cubesats" to capture valuable data from the earth which we then offer to companies (AIS tracking and Maritime domain awareness, weather/climate, etc.).

On June 30th we announced our $40M series B led by Promus Ventures with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners (Skybox). This additional capital will help fuel our growth as we expand and advance the capabilities of our technology, and work to launch our first constellation of 20 cubesats by late 2015.

We are a fast moving, energetic start-up applying agile development principles to a traditionally sluggish and overly-burdened industry (and having fun doing it).
You will never be bored at Spire!

Not sure what study you're referring to, but if it uses the term "immigrant" it probably merges refugees with "regular immigrants" - that is other EU citizens immigrating for work for example.

Plus, going to school 6 more months doesn't mean that they are more employed. What are the numbers regarding refugees and unemployment for example?

A relevant part of "this group", if you talk about refugees from Syria, actually is Christian or secular/atheist. And many of them who are even Muslim actually share a bunch of questionable views of women and gays with conservative German Christians.

I think there are also very different attitudes and thus implementations of Counter-Intelligence, at the tactical, operational and strategic levels.

-Tactical - "Doing this particular activity is a pain, I don't want to keep everything locked up, I don't want to report every little strange thing etc"

-Operational - "This organisation (and my job) is rewarded for running successful XYZ operations, Counter-Intelligence is just a money drain for little obvious results etc"

-Strategic or policy level - "Spying will always happen. If we do it, our enemies will do it. They will probably find out eventually. Ultimately if an enemy finds out our secret stealth space rocket is actually for new types of photos and not a sneaky nuclear strike, they are more likely to act in a rational and calm way."
I’m glad that people are finally catching up to Cynthia Brewer (who has been discussing the issue for 20+ years) and using reasonable color models to think about data displays.

It would be nice if color pickers, color manipulation tools in graphics software, etc. would also switch to more perceptually relevant models.

If anyone wants to play with the CIECAM02 model discussed in the talk you linked, I made an implementation in Javascript several years back, https://github.com/jrus/chromatist/
If the data is opaque to the provider, then there are many services they won't be able to provide on it (without some major advances in homomorphic encryption). For example, spam detection or search. Sharing is also made much more difficult.
RE: Egypt
There are upwards of 130,000 registered Syrian refugees alone in Egypt [0], in addition to those from Sudan and Somalia.

Unofficial estimates place the number much higher [1].

Absolutely no one chooses to become a refugee and its the epitome of privilege to pontificate about where they should go. They go anywhere they can that isn't here and "culture" plays absolutely no part because it isn't a vacation. In fact, geographic proximity and regional support systems are the most important thing [3]. "European" countries don't even clock in top 5.

Update: after some consideration adjusted to $1. Seems better as test.
I don't think this is any different from the Roku I've been using for a few years now. Anyone can develop for it. The problem is getting content providers to want to.

On another note I'm about to sign back up for cable again. AT&T is getting super cheap in my area now and I miss a lot of things on cable having internet TV. Plus Sling, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu movies. Internet TV is costing me slightly more than cable will at this point.
Humans and large livestock (and maybe even pets) will have health monitoring devices embedded into their bodies in the near future. The devices will save the insurance companies money. Savings on insurance premiums will be the incentive to encourage mass adoption by citizens and owners of livestock.

If a code is truly garbage free (not sure how practical this is) won't it be independent of the heap size ? I know some teams do claim to write garbage free code to prevent GC from ever kicking of.
You could get the same effect through off heap memory allocation.

It's my understanding that your right that Chicagoan's are known for their love of math but not necessarily their love of empiricism. However they almost exclusively use RBC(real business cycle) models which are created based on stylized assumptions about human behavior(always rational, lives forever, always able to borrow) and then the parameters are played with until it fits some data in the real world(usually the parameters are completely unrealistic). And they make pretty terrible predictions. To my knowledge they aren't ever used to actually make any predictions about the economy. People who do predictions like the(CBO, FED, IMF etc..) use old school Keynesian-style aggregate models of the economy.

Larry Summers said of RBC models

1. RBC models use parameter values that are almost certainly wrong,

2. RBC models make predictions about prices that are completely, utterly wrong, and

3. The "technology shocks" that RBC models assume drive the business cycle have never been found.
(They assume that during recessions we just forget how to be efficient.)

>I have to match socks between several different styles
Do I understand correctly that you throw all your socks into a drawer/container, and when you need a pair, you go and have to find two matching ones?

This may be cultural (or even familial) thing, but I always curl two socks up into a ball so that they stay together. When I need a pair, I just take one ball, uncurl it, and voila.
It's to do with people with very few alternatives. If there's not a proper contract in advance, well, you'll have to live with the consequences because the courts probably won't want to hear from you.

My insight in college taking some economics courses side by side higher level physics and engineering courses was that economics has mostly gotten stuck in algebra and has thus far failed to develop its calculus.

The easiest analogies for me to make are to electronics. Talking about cash/debt is like talking about instantaneous voltage. It's sort of interesting, but it isn't doing any actual work. In electronics it is the flow of that voltage, the current, that is more often more important and more interesting and more directly applicable to the "work" of a circuit...

I think you get a very different view of economics if you model it more like electronics circuits than just about any of the other economics models I see discussed. I've often wondered what would happen if someone actually bothered to attempt such a model and apply some deep scientific rigor to it.

I won't be for a long time. I've just moved back into my disabled Mum's house which has 3 small bedrooms and 5 people. Cramped conditions but I work as much as possible on a social enterprise.

In a few years time I dream i'll be able to provide much more housing than space on my couch. There are alternatives to just giving housing.
I picked 72 for the first one and 18 for the second one. That's what came to mind. lol
Ok, yes, it's going to be cool to have a Youtube-like platform for video on Apple devices. I agree with other commenters who suggest it's not that revolutionary. This is the sound of another brick being knocked out of the wall, but it is not the sound of the wall falling.

>> Simply put, the cable industry in its current state is comparable to us still buying CDs, paying for e-mail, or renting a video from BlockBuster.

It's comparable to those things if the CD store, pay email provider, and Blockbuster all had municipal monopolies on their equivalent of last-mile coax.

The wall is going to fall, but the cable companies have a lot of life left in them, and they still have many opportunities to use their wealth and monopoly power to try and lobby their way out of danger.

Andreessen Horowitz Is Both Right and Wrong
I think you're missing his point.
He tiptoes around it a lot and goes back and forth in order not to offend anyone or seem too crude, but the core of the article is all about how it's common and joyful to not read authors due to prejudice, and how we all do it, and some examples of his doing it.

Let's put it this way: due to his guilt, instead of an unapologetic celebration of not reading with prejudice, it's an apologetic celebration of the same.
I don't know what it's like now. Rob Pike in particular made a lot of noise like this early on. There was a lot of parrotting of that, so it was hard to have a serious conversation. It seems like it's still getting play but I don't know how widespread that is today.

Of course, this process of extraction of information from a data is lossy, almost never lossless (in some purely classification sciences it may be discrete and lossless, but it's a totally different story). Data is not perfect, and the required precision is always finite. Once you take it into account, you can think of the entire process of scientific discovery as a mechanical, dumb data compression.

So, the corrected wording for that paragraph should be the following:

Plausible-sounding theories are believed to be true as long as their numeric predictions conform to all of the experimental facts within this theory supposed range, up to this theory supposed precision.

And a theory falsified by a new set of facts does not become immediately "false". It just get its range cut down to that range of facts where it is still giving an acceptable prediction precision.

Back to physics analogy, the phlogiston theory is still correct and true, as long as it is applied within the range of the phenomenological thermodynamics. But this does not happen in the classic economics - all those crazy theories are coming from the depths of an insane mind, not from any particular set of facts. They never had any specific range where they were known to be applicable. Therefore, phlogiston is science, and economic theory is not.

Author here - the way I see it, a lot of kids are going to put time and effort into this. Might as well be efficient about it. This book was written for public school kids and parents who would never have access to the info that kids at top private schools do. Going to a top school gets you big scholarships, is usually cheaper than even going in-state, and could literally change your life.

And a large part of the book talks about how you should combine unique activities to stand out instead of doing what others are doing, and to not stress over grades/scores past a certain point.

So yeah, I'm damn proud of my work here.
