The diamond planet is actually worth close to nothing. Diamond would be more plentiful than water so it wouldn't be rare anymore.
It's pretty good. Obama won again.
Oh hello. How goes things?
Computers are sometimes used to check proofs for errors but 99.9% of the work is done by human beings.
I disagree with this completely. There is a large element of ingenuity, creativity, and even artistry in coming up with mathematical proofs.
like being a mathematician or dunking a basketball. These things require a minimal level of "talent."
Yes, but we are getting off topic. I am just trying to make the point that some things are inherently difficult (1)
The thing with math is if you prove something once, then it's proven for all of time. It's just deductive logic, after all. (3)
is a mature field and everything in the book has stood (and will stand) for hundreds of years. (2)
Well according to Godel's incompleteness theorems math can never be complete. But, basic analysis, which is what Rudin covers, (1)
Counterexample. Look at "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" by Walter Rudin. This is rock-solid math but is gibberish to 99% of people.
It's not perfect pasta though. Perfect pasta can only be made by old Italian people.
This girl has become such a weird fetish. Most of these GIFs are her doing totally bland things.
BROTHERRRRRRRR!
This man is obese but he also looks strong as a bull.
This looks like the Family Guy street.
You are right. It is just a signal. It is neither necessary nor sufficient but it is still evidence.
many arguments that are obviously flawed (2)
The ability to rigorously parse and make arguments does not require respecting all viewpoints. In fact, applying this means rejecting (1)
If you are not competent at math then it demonstrates an inability to think rigorously. Sorry if this hurts your feelings.
That is because it demonstrates a deficit of critical thinking. You are signalling that you are not that smart.
She absolutely needs to be sterilized. For the good of humanity.
This forced them to liquidate at very poor prices which exploded the fund.
on treasuries and then the Asian financial crisis happened which drove up the price of on-the-run treasuries which LTC was short. (2)
We might be talking about different things but with LTC (the fund Scholes was involved in), the problem was very high leverage (1)
on-the-run vs off-the-run treasuries strategy.
The problem with LTC wasn't Black-Scholes. It was their use of VAR models. They didn't trade options they did an (1)
Am I blind or does one of them not even have a weapon?
