Domino: Hosted Jupyter Notebooks
If you're thinking: this is fascinating, what other schedules can we use, besides exponentially increasing or decreasing the coupon over time?

Assume we have a market with n different perpetuities: p1,p2...,pn. When we shift the coupon schedule of any of these securities in time, we would like the resulting security to be expressible as a linear combination of the n perpetuities.

p1...p2 should be the basis of a vector space of coupon schedules which is stable for time shifts. As it turns out, any vector space with such a property will be the sum of spaces spanned by { exp(lambda t) t^k | k < K } or { exp(lambda t) t^k cos t, exp(lambda t) t^k sin t | k < K } for lambda real.

So for instance, we could have the following set of coupon schedule, and it would be stable: {1, exp(-0.03 t)}

But so would: {1, t, exp(-0.03 t)} or even {1, cos t exp(-0.05 t), sin t exp(-0.05 t)} etc.

Uninsured Numbers Drop as Poverty Rate Holds Steady
"(...)every one percent improvement, in a large organization, adds up. Reducing compile time just five minutes a day, for example gives engineers 1 percent more real working time. Reducing the number of times tools break—even if each incident just causes an interruption of a minute or two—can bring about huge productivity improvements. "

I wonder if this can be interpreted as a first signal of industrialization which will take some art/craft/individuality out of the profession? Just like it happened when artisans and craftsmen were replaced by standardized assembly lines and monitored, constantly optimized processes. I got a feeling that it is as inevitable as unimaginable today.
Reading between the lines though, maybe the article's use of "arrested" just means they took the kid home to his parents.

Mmm. I'm not so sure that race ever had anything to do with it.

Cover-your-ass security theater entirely incentivizes responding to every possible issue with the most drastic possible response. There is no incentive to worry about the side-effects of putting a 14 year old on the "no fly list". Instead, they're all trying as hard as possible to make sure that they're not the person that okayed somebody bringing a bomb to the science fair.

Of course everything they've done after the science teacher cleared things up has been incredibly wrong...

This sort of thing is very sad, and a symptom of a larger problem. School district policy is a largely political process with a variety of actors with their agendas involved. Making effective change involves people with children in those schools coming together and making their opinions known. We have had a couple of successes in the bay area using NextDoor as a communication portal for this sort of activism.

Top Intel Lawyer: Terror Attack Would Help Push for Anti-Encryption Legislation
And should private sector employers fire their employees for using their computers to do the same? Obviously I don't want to see teachers goofing off on social media instead of teaching kids, but if they aren't actively teaching, why not? The idea that every second of your time on the job needs to be spent furiously working is an attitude from the industrial revolution - I would have thought these days we were more interested in results.
So true. We allocate lots of money to education. Just it goes to administrative, consulting and testing expenses, rather than to improving the education provided.

Some details from Dutch news sources:

It was an bond ("obligatie") of 1000 guilders, given out by Hoogheemraadschap Lekdijk Bovendams (more recently merged into Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden). It returns 25 guilders (now 11,35 euros) interest per year. Yale bought it in 2003 for 24.000 euros. It was given out in 1648 to build a groyne ("krib") near the hamlet of Honswijk. Looking at Google Maps, you can see a system of multiple groynes there; I am not sure whether this bond paid for only one of them or for more: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3998+Honswijk,+Netherlands...

Original buyer of the bond was Niclaes de Meijer: http://www.zeit.de/2015/15/ewige-anleihen-kredit-geldanlage (German!).

In the first 50 years of the 17th century, Lekdijk Bovendams gave out 300.000 guilders of bonds to repair the dikes along the 8 km stretch it was responsible for. Stichtse Rijnlanden is nowadays responsible for the Lek dikes between Amerongen and Schoonhoven, as well as water management in most of the province of Utrecht.

This seems like a great opportunity for us to show our support for kids who build things. Would anyone be interested in a GoFundMe to get Ahmed some Arduino gear or send him to an electronics camp? (I would just create one but I'm not sure what people would most readily donate toward -- gear or scholarship funds.)
The cop may already know the kid or have heard about his hobbies? We have no idea, we just have a short bit of hearsay.
Actually, I think this is a fair way to evaluate new hires. That said, I hope you don't look over their shoulders? I can't tie my shoe laces with someone looking over my shoulders. Or, secretly view their progress? I'm o.k. With reviewing their progress at the end of the day though?

Plus, if you are going to hire in this fashion, why even bother with resumes, or extensive resumes? Just bring people in for a test? If they do well--hire them?

I always felt a test is the fairest way to hire new employees. Tests do away with upperclass privilege(better contacts, padded resumes, etc.) I wish more companies vetted employees in this fashion. It might get rid of something I have always dreaded, and get slightly nauseous when I see the behavior in action--and that is Networking. Sorry, I always thought it was phoney.

I still imagine your company relies heavily on resumes, and uses the test--because they can? Meaning--there's still a lot of desperate software engineers out there; willing to do anything to land a job?
I don't think so. The only precedent I can think of is the delayed 10.5 (edited) release due to the release of the iPhone:

Innovation and Experimentation in Whisky: A Chat with Dr Bill Lumsden
Frankly, if someone showed up with a clock and a circuit board with wires leading to a box on the board, what would people think? Keep in mind, there have been multiple mass shootings at schools already this year. They have to investigate it.

What if someone showed up to the mall with a gun in an open-carry setting? People panic.[2] The setting matters. Especially if the setting in question, a school, has been a victim of mass violence numerous times. This is not a HP lab. They were right to take a look at the device with police. However, this is where things went terribly wrong:

> When Ahmed was called out of class, he said he was brought into a room with four police officers, one of whom said, "Yup. That's who I thought it was." [1]

Frankly, the school and police should have been more professional. They weren't. What is more disturbing, is the police have inadvertently admitted they are profiling people in this community. There is far more details in the CNN article:

> I've only lived in NH for a bit and it is crazy how different the attitudes are here. I've never been any other place where people care as much about individual liberty.

Speaking as a native(who now lives in Boston) who grew up just south of Lebanon I find this attitude interesting. Growing up there wasn't much talk about 'individual liberties'. It was much more along the lines of it ain't my business about what my neighbor does. It just seems to be an interesting shift.

Though I'm proud that Lebanon has decided to go this way. It's important and I hope that other libraries follow their example.
The only irony here is your complete failure to understand my original comment and your own failure to provide reasoning for your own false conclusion.

Based on the facts in the OP and parent comment, I was disassembling the race-baiting rhetoric as anti-intellectual and fact-less (which, since you missed it, is itself a fact), to refocus on the original issue.

Meanwhile, double-ironically, you again ignore context and facts, equivocate ("real issue"), and wildly mischaracterize me to make an increasingly invalid point based on a fundamental misunderstanding of my comment.
The on demand resources allow the OS to efficiently store only the resources that are needed. As you play through a game with 100 levels, the system can delete assets from earlier levels to make room for new assets for later levels. Effectively this makes it less likely that a user will delete your game as storage fills up. More work, but ultimately good for game developers on the platform.

> but plenty of white kids have gotten in plenty of trouble for stupid reasons too.

Of course they have. However, the authorities everywhere don't consistently flip their wigs—certainly not as badly as this—every time a student does something like bringing in this project. So the fact that they wigged out badly in this particular case probably—not certainly, but really pretty likely—does have some relation to the fact that the student just happened to be Ahmed Mohamed.

(OTOH there pretty certainly is a selection bias in the fact that this particular case is getting so much publicity. It's the social-media catnip of the perceived (and again, let's be serious here, probably partly real) discrimination that has pushed this one up the charts while others go mostly unremarked.)
> More funding will attract more teachers, creating a stronger candidate pool

Without the ability to get rid of bad teachers as quickly and easily as one can fire bad engineers in the private sector money isn't going to fix a damn thing. It might even make it worst.

Fix that part first.
I also find it odd how this is immediately chalked up to racism instead of simply assuming that the school administrators are simply overzealous about "something that somebody thought looked/sounded like a bomb". I mean, it certainly _could_ be racism, but there isn't really any evidence at the moment to say that it _is_ racism.
Then why don't the Obama kids go to public school? Citing security would be silly. A school is a school. Even the President doesn't believe in public schools. If he does, he sure isn't eating his dog food.

Jobs didn't look stereotypically middle eastern.
I suspect there are similar incidents with much less overblown outcomes.

There's no relative scarcity of ignorant and authoritarian schoolteachers, but consequences are likely to be confined to school, not involve law enforcement, and parents and pupils are more likely to knuckle down rather than fight or go to the press.

So, taking "such behaviour" much more broadly than this specific incident (and of course granting that Europe is a big and diverse place) - if a kid is found hacking school networks, or distributing a satirical magazine, or bringing possibly inappropriate or dangerous items to school, the schools are just as likely to crack down (even if it infringes the pupil's legal rights) but the matter is likely to end there without ruining the pupil's education. Or making the school administration change its behaviour.

Personally I think the situation as I have described it is favourable. Ideally schools wouldn't be administered by petty tyrants, but as long as everyone finishes their education with a blank slate it's fine. Keeping the police away from schools as much as possible would be a good start.

> Cronyism, referring to a system where incompetent agents are given special favors, doesn't survive in the free market

The "free market" in which that is a defensible claim is a counterfactual construct that is sometimes useful as a simplified analytic model, but fundamentally incompatible with the behavior of real human beings and conditions in the real world.

> merciless competition destroys any underperfoming organization.

In real unregulated markets, that may happen initially, and the most successful parties in that situation mercilessly move to lock-in advantages against future competitors by use their economic power they have as a result of that success to monopolize key inputs, preventing competition.

> Cronyism only exists when competition doesn't work by means of a government

Yes, and a particular, common, real-world version of cronyism by which government structures the economic regime to favor the interest of the capital-holding class was identified by its critics in the 19th Century, and given the name "capitalism".

Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook: iPad Pro May Be the Last ‘Computer’ You’ll Ever Need
Honestly, I don't know that Jobs could have made a clock. Woz could have made one that calculated primes and rendered vector graphics, though.
Expanding on that, I came of age during the '70s where I believe the major transition in inflation expectations occurred, and being numerically literate, I have a feeling for how the value of the dollar declined (which I frequently reify with this calculator http://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm but know the government understates it, see below for one example).

When I see, oh, normal genre 300-500 page paperbacks going for Amazon prices from 8-11 USD, mid '80s official inflation adjusted prices of ~$3.65-5, and lower actual prices from a quick check of my library, my response to the higher end is not no, but hell no, and I'm not going to buy the lower end new for all but the most exceptional titles.

Many economists think deflation causes people to hoard their money, since an item bought tomorrow will cost less (assuming your form of storage survives, $N in a bank that goes bust before the FDIC was established is worth $0), and the reverse for inflation. I think it's a lot more complicated than that.

I think we should compare quality of life instead of salary. You'll make 3 times the salary in the US, but:

- no pension for your retirement (you have to save)

- prohibitive health care costs even with insurance

- prohibitive higher education costs, and even for younger kids if you don't go the public school route

- vacation policies up to the employer (can be ok as a software engineer though, but definitely not up to what you'd get in France)

- maternity leaves up to the employer

All in all, sure I have more money than when I was in France, but my quality of life is not significantly better. I can afford more stuff, but that's about it, and I'm not sure it's still true once you have a family.

And in general no safety nets, you have to build your own. You can be fired at will in a lot of states.

My biggest gripes with France are:

- most of the interesting tech jobs are in Paris. I don't like Paris (it's personal, I just hated living in Paris).

- absurd tech consulting companies (ssii, 90% of them exist solely to make up for how hard it is to [hf]ire in France)

- management vs engineering: engineers are under compensated compared to managers, a brilliant engineer has to become a manager at some point to evolve in their careers. Companies like to pretend that they have a management and a tech track, but you're almost always better off taking the management track. This can be somewhat true in some industries in the US, but it's not as prevalent as it is in France.
why does change always have to come with conflict on this side of the pond? It seems like the governments of EU members are more proactive then reactive when it comes to employee rights.
> Wouldn't most people take a day off to interview somewhere?

Not always possible. One of the big annoyances when I was working for a company was that if I wanted time off it was two weeks notice. Doesn't work particularly well when the interview invitation tends to be more along the lines of, 'Hi, your interview date is next week.'

People are so worried about terrorists. Guess what: they won! If you don't believe me then try getting on a commercial flight, or try bringing a cool electronics project to school some time.

The hoax bomb charge that they are still considering doesn't make sense to me. As someone who has seen a lot of improvised explosive devices[0] "hoax" means something very specific. I occasionally encountered hoax devices which were deliberately placed to monitor our response. Finding one meant you could be sure you were on camera. Here the police seem to use "hoax" to mean someone got scared of an empty cardboard box, or in this case a cool electronics project. The difference is intent just like selling oregeno or baby powder can get you in trouble for selling drugs if you are portraying it that way. Having something suspicious means it should be investigated, but it shouldn't be a crime unless it is intentionally portrayed as an illegal object.
