But I am pretty sure we can’t avoid them anyhow. We are humans, afterall. A paper published this month in the SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics addresses just this issue. Opening fittingly with a quote from New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley emphasizing the importance of developing tools to identify and address bubbles in ...
The scientists are sure that the neutrinos are travelling faster than light. They are not giving up, even with the tons of skeptical papers being published on Arvix. Scientists who threw down the gauntlet to physics by reporting particles that broke the Universe’s speed limit said on Friday they were revisiting their contested experiment. “The ...
I understand many would like to have true anti glare on their tech devices. Sun will never be a problem again. No prize for guessing which one is the ‘invisibleR 17; glass. But I am thinking more of having these films on glass skyscrapers. Oh my god, wouldn’t it look creepy(imagine the ability to look through ...
Sometimes, I don’t really know whether if I should believe all these claims about US internet security being compromise. Doesn’t the US hack them in return? Computer hackers, possibly from the Chinese military, interfered with two U.S. government satellites four times in 2007 and 2008 through a ground station in Norway, according to a congressional ...
Today I saw Trollface on a slightly new episode of "MAD" a show on Cartoon Network. The Cowboys and Alien Force/ ThunderLOLCats episo de.
Er, holy shit, I get the creeps just thinking about these creatures. Maybe they actually have mitochondria that can be seen with the naked eyes! In recent decades, deep sea researchers have upended our notions of what can survive at some of the deepest submerged places on Earth, revealing that a panoply of life thrives ...
The Taiwanese animators are at it again. I thought it was quite a good video that summarised the most juicy bits of Steve Jobs life. Seriously though, these taiwanese are really making news fun.
We can still live in a relatively cool world, if we act today. Will you? The group, comprised of European, Japanese, Chinese and Australian scientists and researchers, and led by Joeri Rogelj, has been studying the published literature comparing current and projected rates of carbon emissions and has correlated those numbers with an expected rise ...
Re: World’s HIGHEST IQ Man, Kim Ung-yong, tells his Successful LIFE Story and WHY the Media is CRAP.
Having high IQ doesn't mean your productive. Anyone can be productive in a sense that some of the great discoveries are actually just an accident, one don't need to be exactly intelligent …
Yeah, he’s on display in a vegetable freezer. But there’s no autopsy done yet, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns out to be alive somewhere else. Libya’s new leaders will declare liberation on Sunday, officials said, a move that will start the clock for elections after months of bloodshed that culminated in the ...
If you’re a control freak, you’re not gonna like what this research by Daniel Kahneman has proved. Daniel Kahneman spent part of his childhood in Nazi-occupied Paris. Like the other Jews, he had to wear a Star of David on the outside of his clothing. One evening, when he was about 7 years old, he ...
Space Waste Transporter: Going Where No Garbage Man has Gone Before With the growing number of incidents of falling space debris in the news, there is a pressing need to find an alte …
I am not sure how he feels without his tattoos. I thought that he’s actually better looking without them. But well, this makes for a really good and seriously convincing advertisement for a new concealer from DermaBlend Professional.
Guy Fawkes(below) is the man who inspired the all-so-familiar V for vendetta masks that are present on Wall Streets. But who are the people behind the masks and what do they represents? From New York, to London, to Sydney, to Cologne, to Bucharest, there has been a wave of protests against politicians, banks and financial ...
Surprise. These people are earning money, so much of it, just to protect themselves from others. They call when they make the Forbes 400 list. They call when annual hedge fund rankings appear, when their names are mentioned on CNBC and when their children travel abroad. And, these days, they call when protesters camped in ...
So, the stories in your Hollywood spy movies ain’t too far fetched. In fact, they are even better in reality. And I really can’t believe so many people actually gave their personal data to a illustration (above). It seems all it takes for 75 percent of hackers and IT security professionals to hand over their ...
I guess our understanding of the universe is still too little. A few more generations down the road and someone will definitely look back at our time now and term us as the ‘Stone Age’ of human understanding of the universe. “After completing this study, we know less about dark matter than we did before,” ...
The theories are getting really interesting in this subject matter. Let’s hope CERN has some explanation for this. It’s now been three weeks since the extraordinary news that neutrinos travelling between France and Italy had been clocked moving faster than light. The experiment, known as OPERA, found that the particles produced at CERN near Geneva ...
