Whitney Tilson And High Frequency Trading v3 - (USA)
Zero Hedge Whitney Tilson continues investigating High Frequency Trading From his Sunday letter to clients: 1) An interesting comment from a friend: The reason these firms make so much more money in fixed income is because the market making and prop trader is the same person. The distressed desk flow traders (the area that I know best) at the big firms have balance sheets up to a couple billion per group and they have all the information about who is buying and who

The joys of the vacation on a lake - (USA)
As we sit in our urban homes, we are surrounded by highways, strip malls, office buildings, and parking lots. But the primal part of us yearns to live among trees and water and winding woodsy roads. As we tap away at our computers, we wish we could run off to our cabin kits . Alaska is far away, but with the Alaskan cabins that are now available, you can build a cabin closer to home, but with a similar woodsy ambiance. And, because it’s a kit, you can make it as simple or as elaborate as sui

Upcoming 2009 Releases — Part Two - (USA)

Cool Future Inventions - (USA)
Thinking about passing of time, we can easily observe that life, now, is very different than life 50, 20, and even 10 years ago. Making an analogy, we can ask ourselves which will be future ’s or present’s inventions that will change our lives, like Internet, telephone or car did along time. I think that one of the most possible invention to be seen in the closest future are microscopic robots, which could be able to fight infections in our bodies and also clean our homes by unwanted bact

From financial crisis to global catastrophe - (USA)
From financial crisis to global catastrophe Financial crisis which manifested in the 2008 (but started much earlier) has led to discussion in alarmists circles - is this crisis the beginning of the final sunset of mankind? In this article we will not consider the view that the crisis will suddenly disappear and everything returns to its own as trivial and in my opinion false. Transition of the crisis into the global catastrophe emerged the following perspective: 1) The crisis is the beginning

Virtual Neurons Acting Like the Real Thing - The Blue Brain Project - (USA)
Creating a virtual model of the human brain is one thing. I do it all the time, doodling little cerebrums while I talk on the phone. But getting your model to behave just like its flesh-and-blood counterpart? That’s a Frankenstein moment right there. Researchers with the Swiss-based Blue Brain Project have just created a virtual pack of neurons that acts just like the real thing, and hope to get an e-brain up and running. I hope somebody yelled “It’s alive!” Nerve cell model. Photo

How Do the Weak Defeat the Strong? - (USA)
It’s easy to think that the only advantage that the people have in conflict with their oppressors is their numbers. “Shake your chains to earth like dew,” in Shelley’s words. “Ye are many – they are few.” But this neglects strategy, and tactics (among other things). One of Mao’s great contributions in the 1930s was the forging of military strategy and tactics in the war against the Japanese invaders. The question of how to win against an adversary who is superior by every conventional measure o

I do have my fans, who would probably turn out in droves to say farewell if I had chosen to let them know in advance. But in the twilight of my time, I want to face this final passage alone. Of course, I’m not completely alone. I still have my mentor, Carl Lambclear. I’ll email him tonight, and he’ll email m

Technology’s Uses and Harms - (USA)
Technology is the knowledge of the process and the techniques that transforms the abstract ideas of scientists and the mathematicians into a concrete reality. It is the know-how that enables us to extract the raw materials and then convert them in fossil fuels, steel, chemicals, plastics and food. Technology is also concerned with perfection of industrial processes, mass production and automation. The advancing technology implies pollution, the exhaustion of natural resourses and the lack of wor
