FYI, from Yahoo finance
With the arrival of the New Year, and interest rates still very attractive,
you may find yourself shopping for a new loan or applying for a new credit
card. The process will likely include coming face-to-face with your FICO
credit score — a number between 300 and 850 that determines how good of a
borrower you really are. We know that, in general, the higher your score,
the lower your interest rate may be on a loan product. But the world of

Truth:通过设计复杂的叫牌体系,桥牌中每个人的牌力比较清楚,大牌的分布更加明
确,但是小牌的分布不能作到都算清楚。
因为拖拉机亮牌过程相对于桥牌的叫牌比较简单,因此初期更加依靠想像力,随着牌局

Myth:对于拖拉机而言,最佳打法是把牌摊开分析打得的。

即使真实的牌的分布against你的出法,从概率意义上而言,这依然是最佳打法。

light, and moderate users

我用的是图上的数据。wiki上F-16C combat radius只有295nm,估计是没挂副油箱。作
战半径计算弹性太大,不可能精确就是了。不管怎样,F-35“短腿”是myth同学们没有
疑问了吧。
而且,转进一下的话,要考虑到未来的增长空间哦。搞个保型油箱。或者换上崭新的第
五代发动机,立刻省油1/4,大大增程。

In accordance with the usual practice, such an important day, the master
must have a face to face it? So the question is, how does this face show? Li
Hongzhi said, "practice after a period of time, changed a lot from the
surface, the skin becomes delicate, white and red, very old people will
appear wrinkles, even a few, this is a common phenomenon." And the truth?
See photos. Li Hongzhi is a typical pouch with wrinkles, relaxation, hair
bald old man image. The nature of "cosmic Lord Buddha" fail... 阅读全帖

by Peter Daou (from the Clinton campaign) 3/24/2008 11:26:17 AM
MYTH : Barack Obama is running a positive campaign that will unite Americans.
FACT: Barack Obama and his advisers have conducted a divisive "full assault"
on Hillary's character.
While talking a lot about the politics of hope, change and unity, Sen. Obama
and his campaign have been conducting a relentless and singularly personal
assault on Hillary's character. They have blanketed big states with false
negative mailers and radio

Amazon有卖的,是经济学在民主问题上的一个研究成果,很有意思
我先给个摘要,有兴趣的自己买书读,Amazon的读者对这个书评价很好
从理性角度讲,没有人愿意去投票,因为这样很花时间,而且个人的一票
改变不了什么。另外,大部分的选民对政治都有错误的认识,经常自相矛盾
而且麻烦的是,该书作者认为这种错误的认识在投票中并不能被互相抵消,
而是会出现系统性错误,就是大家犯同样的错误,作者给了一些支持这个观点
的研究成果,比如大部分美国人对自由贸易的理解就是错的,所以现在保护主义
抬头。再比如一般选民喜欢就业率而不是生产率,强烈反对公司裁员。其实只
有让公司有裁员的自由,公司才会更加愿意雇人。生产率提高了技术进步,
会创造出新的职业,而一般选民却错误的认为这些新的职业工资比旧的职业低。
结果就是出现民主的myth,投票选出来的政府不行或者政府的政策错误。
所以 作者 认为要想解决美国的问题,应该减少民主。他提出了以下方案:
- 让选民参加考试来获取投票资格
- 不是一人一票,而是让牛人拥有更多选票
- 不再鼓励增加投票率,对政治不感兴趣的最好就别出来投票
- 在学校普及经济学知识。

The Myth of Health Care's Free Market
By David Cay Johnston / January 03 2014 1:05 PM
Ever wonder why an appendectomy costs $8,000 in one place and $29,000
elsewhere? REUTERS/Jim Bourg
Has it ever occurred to you to negotiate with the pilot of the plane you
just boarded about her pay?
Assuming the pilot was willing to take bids for her services, would you have
any idea of how to evaluate the worth of that particular pilot compared to
anyone else who might be at the controls? How long would it ... 阅读全帖

"Sure-footed all-wheel-drive handling." That's the kind of lingo you're
likely to hear in car ads and marketing material, and it has prompted me to
shout at televisions, print ads, and the occasional car-company rep: All-
wheel drive doesn't help handling!
It's disingenuous to say or infer that AWD enhances cornering prowess, or
that it'll help a driver avoid a fallen tree or dodge Bambi. When it comes
to handling, all-wheel drive is overrated (not to mention heavy and gas-
sucking), especially ... 阅读全帖
