Coincidence?

Write out the alphabet starting with J:

JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHI

Erase all letters that have left-right symmetry (such as A) and count the letters in each of the five groups that remain.

Walking through Trafalgar Square in London last Wednesday, the day before the G20 protests, I watched this guy start to assemble this with copper coins. I came back an hour or so later and it was clear he really wanted to emphasise the word ‘crime’. I wonder what would have happened if someone just kicked it over?

Other protest gems that stuck out:

- Man dressed in suit waving placard that read ‘MARK TO MARKET’.

- Another inspired/ignorant banner.

Very cool face-tracking + 3D scene. Flash has come a long way since I started tinkering with it 10 years ago… amazing what people do with it.

Zero-knowledge environment for cloud storage

“SpiderOak provides innovative virtual personal network services that simplify the process of backing up, accessing, organizing, sharing and synchronizing data from any number of computers or external storage media. The company is the first to offer the ‘SuperCloud’ - protecting a user against data loss, making all stored information available 24x7 from any Internet connected device, allowing password-protected ‘ShareRooms’ for easy sharing between family/friends/colleagues, facilitating cross computer cross platform synchronization, and providing a variety of technical advantages for efficient and cost-effective data management.”

Going to try this out, does it really offer a zero-knowledge environment?

Looking at this table’s perspective (equity per share, discounted valuation, current price) implies ~40% probability of survival for RBS, BARC and LLOY.

i.e. not a great chance of avoiding wipeout of equity holders through nationalisation.

And this is before this morning’s down-slide!

At Academic Earth, Ivy League professors lecture on topics like the financial crisis, climate change, the human brain, international politics, and astrophysics (for the real nerds).

Just played a few video lectures, some very interesting topics. Found the site to have a very accessible and crisp UI which makes the world of difference to the user experience.
