Advances in those sciences comes primarily from finding out what the determinants are, and how they relate. Once those are revealed, the relationships prove to be mostly extremely simple and consistent. Economics may be deterministic but, at the fundamental level, it may be impossible ever to uncover all of the determinants. Or there may be a randomness for which it is mathematically, scientifically, improssible to uncover the determinants. In other words, there may be no intellectual distinction between randomness and the finest-grained determination. In the case of economics, that's largely because it depends on the actions of people -- often hundreds of millions of them -- and neither biology nor psychology is anywhere near determining the causes of behavior behind any single one of those people. That is, at the level of weather prediction: predicting an individual, local event. The thermodynamics of chemical reactions deals with extensive (vs intensive) and indeterminate complexity and randomness. Like economic and social phenomena, every reaction that can possibly happen has some probability that it will, in both directions, and they are influenced by surrounding conditions on both micro and macro scales. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy "First, it is often unclear as to whether or not reaction does proceed in one step; threshold barriers that are averaged out over all elementary steps have little theoretical value. Second, even if the reaction being studied is elementary, a spectrum of individual collisions contributes to rate constants obtained from bulk ('bulb') experiments involving billions of molecules, with many different reactant collision geometries and angles, different translational and (possibly) vibrational energies-all of which may lead to different microscopic reaction rates." It's not a subject that can be explained simply, without math which quantifies the benefits both parties to a transaction receive, their risk tolerance (activation energy, temperature) and their occasional irrationally random behavior, or Entropy. -jsw |

No amount of deductive theorizing or undirected observation would produce Special Relativity. It depended, first, on a great insight; and then was proven by highly-directed observation based on that insight. You have it backwards. This is the sequence that produced Special Relativity: http://www.everythingimportant.org/r...1964_scrib.pdf "The first stage in the evolution of the Special Theory of Relativity is generally recognized as beginning with the failure to detect experimentally the motion of the earth through the ether." This is an old controversy which I will not get into. But one could make the point that the failure of theories about the "ether," and the failure to experimentally detect the motion of the earth through the "ether,." required a new insight and a new formulation. That's what Einstein did. As that paper you linked to says, "For to appreciate the significance of Einstein's 1905 paper it it important to see how he was able to find a new point of view..." Regardless, the point is that many of the great discoveries in science were the result of great insights. In this case, the proof came after the insight. Previous experiments produced questions, not directions. Michelson - Poincare' / Fitzgerald / Lorentz - Einstein Theory is "correct" only when it can explain all observations. Unless the theory is that you can explain a statistical probability of observations. Theories do not always depend upon strict reduction to causation. For example the theory about T-cells and the mechanism by which they go awry, leading to juvenile diabetes. The theory is that the T-cells in some small portion of the population have a genetic disposition to misread the chemical signals of certain traumas as being the chemical signals of the beta cells in one's pancreas. But it is not known why or how that happens. There is no more than hypotheses about the path of causation. So an observation that one individual becomes diabetic, while his identical twin does not, is not explained by the theory. Yet, statistically, the theory that there is a genetic dispostion holds up to a known degree of probability. -- Ed Huntress -jsw |

Weather models are about very short-term phenomena in specific places. Climate models are not. -- Ed Huntress -jsw |

wrote: slow eddy will never stop lying. Show us an example, you slandering prick. His entire life is based on lying, looking the other way, etc. He pretends to be a journalist but the reality is he writes ad copy that's only favorable to the advertiser he's writing about. Tell that to my first publisher, who lost a $40,000 advertising contract with Elox EDM because of an article I wrote -- and then he accepted it when my editor (Andy Ashburn) stood behind my article. You're full of crap, Jon. But then, nearly everyone knows that. This problem is so bad in the CADCAM industry that you can never read the truth about a CADCAM program in any trade journal. I did something about this problem and started a LinkedIn group that now has over 2,300 members. The groups membership reads like a who's who of the CADCAM business. And if you go to Jon's "group," a significant part of what you'll see is people in the business trying to sell products and services to each other. It's like watching them shine each other's shoes. It's not advertising based. That's because you can't. Outside of your "group," too many people in the business know your reputation. My LinkedIn group, CADCAM Technology Leaders, has changed the CADCAM business forever. For those who want proof here is just one example: Right now you can read the former Director Of Software Engineering for CNC Software (Mastercam) talk about what's so wrong with the CADCAM business and what's holding back user productivity. You will never read anything like this is worthless, advertising based, machining rags that slow eddy is a puppet for. "Former" director? Is he working off a grudge? If he has something honest to say, he should have no trouble getting it published in, say, _Manufacturing Engineering_ or _Cutting Tool Engineering_. What I've done with my experience and my approach to not using any advertising is change the CADCAM business forever. What you've done is slander half of the companies in the business. What I've done scares the **** out of worthless, losers like slow eddy because it's so successful. Oh, yeah, I'm terrified at the prospect that Jon's "success" is going to impinge on the 25% - 30% or so of the 71,000 real shop people on our mail list who click through a typical issue of Fab Shop. I'm also terrified that all of the self-promoters who can't hold a job, and who are on some kind of welfare, are going to undermine the real trade journalism business by setting up no-pay "groups" as a kind of ersatz, egomaniacal hobby. Not. None of slow eddy's approaches to trying to delegitimize my extensive knowledge of the CADCAM business... Oh, mother...help us. I think it's time for a review of one of the main Jon Banquer entertainments. Whoever compiled this doesn't have the panache of Whoyakidding, but it's fun, nevertheless: ====================================== "Without a doubt SaladWorks is a complete piece of ****" - Jon Banquer - May 21, 2006 "SolidWorks is consuming every available minute of my learning time right now." - Jon Banquer - Aug 12, 2007 "I've been away from SolidWorks for almost ten years. The program has changed so much in ten years that I'm still way behind where I need to be." - Jon Banquer - Aug. 26, 2007 ---------------------------------------- "For the record I like SolidWorks" Jon Banquer April 10, 1998 "I'd hate to be using SolidWorks" -Jon Banquer - Jan 15, 2005 ---------------------------------------- "OneCNC looks good." - Jon Banquer - Aug 31 2003 "OneCNC has a good product" - Jon Banquer - May 11 2005 "OneCNC is so bad that it can't be sold" - Jon Banquer - June 30, 2007 ---------------------------------------------- "May I remind you that your an anonymous loser who is too chicken **** to post with his own name." - Jon Banquer - Dec 24 2006 Franco Folini UPDATE -- July 8, 2007 -- "Jon didn't respect our agreement, posting comments under fake names." ------------------------------- SolidWorks 2007 Bible "the content is just superb!" - Jon Banquer- Aug 8, 2007 To the author SolidWorks 2007 Bible "I should knock down 200 or so pages this week. Which still won't get me to Multibodies! Just ****ing ridiculous, Matt." - Jon Banquer - Aug 19-2007 ----------------------------------- "John Carroll is probably the best thing that has ever happened to U.S. Vero" - Jon Banquer- June 16, 2001 "the type of scumbag that John Carroll is... which is why he can't sell jack ****" - Jon Banquer- Sept 13, 2012 ------------------------------------ "You never chain geometry in Gibbs or SmartCAM. It's not necessary." Jon Banquer - May 20, 2005 >From the SmartCAM Manual "Create the elements in any order, and sequence them later, using modeling tools such as Chain." -------------------------------------- "I would strongly suggest you buy The SolidWorks Bible. It will give you many insights into how SolidWorks works" - Jon Banquer - Aug 19, 2007 "For all your talk about design intent it's amazing how few examples you actually give in the SolidWorks Bible on design intent. Why is that ****tard?" - Jon Banquer - July 14, 2007 ---------------------------------------- "The program is a buggy, overpriced under performing, POS that is a tribute to Bill Gibbs enormous ego" - Jon Banquer - "Love those GibbsCAM Machining Markers! Great idea" - Jon Banquer - --------------------------------------------------- "Need I remind you that it's you who is too much of a pussy to say a word to Bill Gibbs on how you really feel about his claims of no chaining." - Jon Banquer - July 15, 2007 "Last time I saw Bill Gibbs at a trade show he almost ****ed in his pants... I went out of my way to be polite and not disturb his presentation." - Jon Banquer - Aug 11, 2007 ===================================== LOL! I think some of those dates are from cross-posted replies, but who knows. Yes, this is pretty cheesy entertainment, but there's something satisfying about harpooning a complete phony -- like Jon the Phony Banquer. Which reminds me of a Banquer post that reminds me about just how flakey this guy is: =========================================== [Jon Banquer replying to Ed Huntress]: Ed, The newsgroup badly needs someone who is as articulate as you are. Keep me on my toes and correct me where ever you think it's appropriate,as I respect what you have to say based on what you have already posted. I will certainly take the time to think about whatever correction, advice, etc. you post. - Jon Banquer - Jun 23, 2002 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....I/t2qa5vNd-rQJ ============================================= You bettcha, Jon! OMFG that was hilarious! =================================== "Reading "whoyakidding" nail Gunner on a daily basis on all the lies Gunner has told over many years on Usenet is easily the highlight of this newsgroup for me." Jon Banquer, Jan 2, 2013 http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...302126bc6be21d "This is yet another one of KiddingNoOne's many lies." Jon Banquer, Apr 3, 2013 http://groups.google.com/group/comp....a25a0cfef810a4 |

The reply, which ended that session was "We've tried several times, but we can't get our head up our *** that far."

"The Great Depression was 80 years ago, and people are still debating the causes and response. Perhaps the 2008 crisis is destined to be the same. To the question we began with -- were the financial leaders [principally the Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and the New York Fed chief, Timothy Geithner] heroes, benefactors of Wall Street or vindictive decision-makers, the answer that is coming into focus is this: all three."

Martin But the Founders of the KKK were indeed solely Democrat and had the full blessing of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party had a full Klanbake in 1928 when they took over Washington DC snip Thew leftists will NEVER admit that the complicity of their high priests and prophets in anything politically inconvenient. Notice how they try to deflect and reverse the charges? But they find SOMETHING on the internet to bolster their position...so it must be true. Thue Democrats just acknowledge their sordid past and move on. But, not so leftists! That's why I'm a Democrat and NOT a Leftist...THANK GOD! |
