You might want to follow Brad DeLong's blog. Krugman also talked about housing bubbles (http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2006/01/paul_krugman_on.html) back in 2006. He wrote a column that said so explicitly, arguing that "part of the rise in housing values since 2000 [has been] justified given the fall in interest rates, but at this point the overall market value of housing has lost touch with economic reality. And there's a nasty correction ahead."

My memory of the blogosphere is that people knew housing was overvalued and a lot of people were taking equity out of their homes by remortgaging them at high valuations. But I do not remember discussion of how much fraud there was in originating and repackaging housing loans, and no-one was talking about how these were getting securitized and distributed.
From a student point of view, this is great news. If you don't have a personal subscription to the digital libraries of IEEE/ACM, the amount of hoops that one has to go through to access a research paper, is apalling. I believe that a peer review system used by journals is beneficial, but putting the papers behind a paywall is obstructing access to knowledge.

If anyone has a reference which justifies the paywall charges, please share it.

What I think might be good would be something like this. It's based on the notion that being a good researcher and being good at reading and reviewing research papers are not necessarily the same skill.

1. Have a place for open publication, like arxiv.org, but with a system of non-anonymous commenting and rating. So if someone puts a paper there, others can comment on it and rate it. Ratings could include several categories, such as clarity, importance, rigor, and so on.

2. There should be a system to rate the reviewers.

3. Out of this would emerge a growing collection of reviewers who are recognized as being very good at reviewing papers.

4. Reviewers would start publishing lists of papers they have recently reviewed, broken down by field.

5. Scientists would subscribe to these lists from the top reviewers in their field.

6. Reviewing could become a profession. A researcher who wants to make sure his paper gets attention could pay one or more high rated reviewers to review it. Note that for reviewers it is important to maintain a reputation as an accurate and honest reviewer, which I think would be enough of a safe guard against authors being able to buy good reviews for bad papers.

Their ATM machines are far from impregnable. They're harder to hack than the voting machines because the banks require it, but they aren't foolproof.

Diebold's clients when selling voting machines are often county clerks or county commissioners. Sometimes they are secretaries of state. They aren't capable, for the most part, of assessing the machines. (The ones that are might find better alternatives).

When they sell atm machines their clients are banks and when they lose money due to problems with the machines, they usually find out.

They've been making a killing out of selling this crap, pure and simple.

Again just evolving a string not a full program.

Mine hit the target significantly faster than OPs (around 70 generations rather than between 2 and 4 thousand).

I'm trying to work out where he went wrong.

First of all his 'mutate' function in the second example is actually performing both mutation and crossover.

As far as the mutation goes it looks fine; almost identical to the way I mutate genes. I think the problem lies in the way he's doing his crossover (breeding), just trying to work it out.

He's using one-point crossover, same as me.

The selection method is a kind of hybrid elite method where fitter members are more likely to be selected than unfit members, which is reasonable.

It might just be that his crossover and mutation probability is 100% and his population is only 20. But if you plug those figures into the interactive demo on my post (http://www.puremango.co.uk/genetic-hello-world.html) then it gets as far as "Hbumr Xqnkd" by the 70th generation. Still looks like it's evolving faster than his code. Must be the way he's selecting parents...

OK, look, my head is spinning here. This quote from The Verge:

And yes, you can do "ri XXX#<tab>" for the second level! (http://qaa.ath.cx/ri-kernel.png)

For the record, I do straight ruby; I don't even know how to deploy rails.

Tax doesn't make that much of a difference in these decisions. The Google business unit which generates big revenues (and pays most of Google's taxes in Europe) is the holding company in Ireland, which later pays an R&D/marketing/support/other fee to the local OpCo's where most engineers/sales reps are based, the so called 'Transfer Pricing'. That is why Google's regional offices are P&L break-even and hardly pay any corporate tax in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, etc. Refer to: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_44/b42010431... and http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-10-21/google-2-4-rate-sho... and http://www.businessweek.com/technology/google-tax-cut/google...

Hmm. It's been a few years since I saw you speak in person, but at the very first startup school (2005?) I thought your presentation was perfectly fine.

I would not give you any negative points for your stage presence at these events. I would suggest some more upscale footwear at times though...

On the functional side of things you can get by with just the two combinators S and K:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKI_combinator_calculus

You can define the Y combinator, and therefore recursion quite happily (if not very efficiently) using S and K.

I believe there are also approaches that use as single universal combinator - but I can't find any good references to these - I'd be quite interested to see definitions of S and K in terms of a single universal combinator.

>Just saying "no, I can't help you" and walking away isn't doing yourself any favors.

You're right. But it's a grey area. There are some real crazies/idiots out there, and picking up a delinquent client is parasitic. If you work a large project, and the client pulls some bullshit to avoid payment, you may need to take them to court. This takes time you could be productive on other projects. A client who signs off on a design, and then complains that it's not what they want, will extend project. Too much of "could you make the yellow more yellow?" "I want people to smell cinnamon and peppermint." results in a poor finished product due to both frustration and a lack of communication.

Just dropping a client has it's own difficulties, and may not be possible depending on the agreement.

"I'll pay you $500 for a large project" is one indicator that could be a difficult client. Of course, it's not a truth, but I feel a good defensive game goes a long way.

It's sampling bias, but http://clientsfromhell.net and http://clientcopia.com/ are entertaining yet frustrating sites to see some of the worst of it. Let's add to the cynicism!
