Becker & Posner Comments. I started training with a triathlon club in 2000 as a mean to stay fit and socialize. I mostly ran with the group and swam occasionally but I got more involved with the sport gradually. My competitive sport experience at this point included various indoor multi-sport events over the fall and winter terms. My first true triathlon was 2003 Guelph Lake Olympic triathlon which was a complete blur while I tried to survival. Race Date Overall Time. 14 Barebone Duathlon 9-May-09 1:39:13.

Becker & Posner Comments. Quants and Big Data. Problem with big data is how to make sense out of the models utilizing the data. Once the business or decision makers generates a hypotheses, then the quants need to develop a model, so the decision makers can determine whether the results warrant action and if the recommendation make sense. But all models are wrong. It’s more important for the model to be useful than right. What does this mean? What’s the data source? Is this a correlation or causation?

Anatomy of One Direction | The Chewyland

Becker & Posner Comments. Anatomy of One Direction. Is “The Whole Is Greater Than The Sum Of Its Parts” an appropriate description for 1D? Five failed solo performers at United Kingdom’s Seventh edition of the ‘X Factor’. Yet, Simon and his ‘X Factor’ team(s) made five boys who would never have a chance as individuals into an international phenomenon. Perhaps this is the magic of getting the right people in the right atmosphere at the right time. I wonder if Simon could succeed as a business consultant.

This presents a problem to groups when faced with uncertainty or change – people tends to look within and see only ambiguity and lack of confidence with the situation. 8220;People trust peers more than formal authority” – get the fence-sitter their buy-in.

Becker & Posner Comments. Tap To Unlock – UniKey Technologies. Deadbolt on the door sends a Bluetooth signal to your phone when pressed. Your phone sends a code back to the door and opens up when the code matches the bolt. This sounds super convenient. I just wonder if the iPhone 5 starts to come with a finger print scan, wouldn’t it be easier to just use that instead of your phone?

Becker & Posner Comments. The Rare Find: How Great Talent Stands Out. How often do you read a book, came across a great idea, then forgot where you’ve read it?
