  1. Amazing! Watch the full thing: http://bit.ly/2vY3Gi
  2. Why people talk about their gadgets as if they are talking about their favorite sports team? No logic, just emotion.
  3. posted: Utility of Money and the St. Petersburg Paradox http://bit.ly/32vVZ8
  4. @mmoorr I just know that non-redeye plane time is my most productive time, deadlines or not. Admittedly, I have a cup of coffee next to me.
  5. @mmoorr you do not even need coffee or deadlines... Btw, how are you tweeting? http://myloc.me/1lXB4
  6. @jesse_Sena_ Thanks Jesse. However, this is just for a homework assignment for my students. I cannot use anything non-NYU.
  7. From a student: "My colleagues and I were hoping you would postpone the midterm in light of the championship game of the World Series. "
  8. RT @hakmem Greece has a General Secretary for Information Systems (@DSpinellis) that can build his own kernel and is a #FreeBSD committer!
  9. @stazybohorn I was hoping that the IT staff at NYU would know better than the sysadmin of a local Cretan newspaper...
  10. @keramida The highlight is that they cannot tell me WHAT it protects, DUETO SECURITY REASONS. Our support staff watches too many CIA movies
  11. @keramida For the server that is supposed to host the **public** web pages of students, I do consider the robots.txt to be worthless.
  12. @keramida So, instead of educating users to avoid putting online private documents, we prevent legitimate users for publicizing their work
  13. NYU IT insists that robots.txt is there for security purposes. Interestingly, nobody can tell me what it protects, "for security reasons".
  14. Interested in Ranking? Submit by Nov 20th to DBRank 2010, Workshop on Ranking and Databases, at ICDE 2010 http://bit.ly/11Rqol
  15. XKCD does visualization: http://xkcd.com/657/
  16. Hm... Manowar performing Puccini's Turandot: http://bit.ly/1cp2SP
  17. Professor disciplined in Greek University because... he was wearing shorts (!) http://bit.ly/1Bd4iP [in greek]
  18. Reconfirming: Any MTurk experiment should require 98% approval rate. The lack of spam generates magical results.
  19. I was expecting Amazon Relational Databases to be more of a game changer. Alas, no auto-scalability. Just independent servers running MySQL
  20. Amazon supports Relational Databases on the Cloud http://bit.ly/4vOAiE
