It's Sunday again, so let's try a light-hearted comment: "Newt Doesn't Love You, Either" http://aussiemagpie.blogspot.com/2012/01/newt-doesnt-love-you-either.html
-
@sean Well, that's a very good reason! ;-D. But the map was there. Strange that it was removed.
-
@magpie When I followed the link, I could not see a map or anything about Iran. Also, it said it was an obselete version of the site.
-
@sean What leads you to believe that?
-
@magpie that link didn't look right to me
-
Assuming this map is right, I can understand the Iranians feeling jittery: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php

You guys might have noticed that I am a rather pessimistic bastard. This video however suggests there are still good things among the pile of crap that's life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOpOhlGiRTM

@senexx I've been quiet everywhere lately! Hadn't seen Pearltrees before. Interesting!
-
@mark ggplot is very good.

Today's Sunday, so let's have a bit of a laugh: Merkosy and Cameron fixing the eurocrisis http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-76044-3.html
-
@sean I've been using R more lately for charts at work (I don't have Mathematica there, but ggplot is more graceful for certain things anyway)
-
@sean you were very quiet on the recent !mmt JG debates - care to add any thoughts? You can see a link to practically all recent criticisms and responses here http://pear.ly/9RAb

"Paul Davidson: The State of Economics" Interesting article. Perhaps quants (@sean @zebra @danny) would be most interested. http://www.creditwritedowns.com/2011/10/paul-davidson-state-of-economics.html

NYTimes: "Inside the Fed in 2006: A Coming Crisis, and Banter" (or sycophancy, madness, stupidity?) http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/13/business/transcripts-show-an-unfazed-fed-in-2006.html Fed meeting transcripts released. Gotta love it.
-
@mark impressive. I still have not put much time in to Mathematica...so largely looks like obfuscated code to me!
-
@sean Here's a Mathematica version, which I admit isn't quite as compact and elegant as the R one (but doesn't use any external tools/libraries). Funnily enough the largest piece of code is the conversion of rating labels into a numeric scale! http://tinyurl.com/7uardvu

@sean - I read that p/t "didn't grow as much as expected" so interpreted that as a slight rise but could also mean it fell. thanks.
