Europe’s Periphery: A postmodern version of Britain in the 1930s? While it is quite correct to draw parallels between the Crashes of 1929 and 2008, it is important to distinguish not only between the two eras but also between the different experiences of different nations within the same era. The simple, but not insubstantial, point of this post is that Europe’s Periphery is not in the same boat as the United States, or Britain, today; just like Britain found itself in a different kind of pickle, after 1929, compared to that of the United States. Moreover, keeping in mind these differences is important in order to devise strategies for dealing with the Crisis. Take Britain in the post-Great War period, that eventually led to 1929 and the Great Depression. From the Great War’s end, Britain was experiencing diminishing investment and profitability.

Poll: Which methods/algorithms did you use for data analysis in 2011? Regional breakdown is US/Canada, 40.2% Europe, 37.6% Asia, 10.3% Latin America, 5.8% Africa/Middle East, 3.2% Australia/NZ 2.9% We grouped Industry/Gov in one group and Academic researchers/Students into a second group, and computed the "affinity" of the algorithm to Industry/Gov as N(Alg,Ind_Gov) / N(Alg,Aca_Stu) ---------------------------------- N(Ind_Gov) / N(Aca_Stu) Thus algorithm with affinity 1.5 is used 50% more in Industry/Government than by Academic Researchers or students, and the algorithm with affinity 0.6 is used only 60% as much in Industry. The most "industrial" algorithms ( with the highest Industry / Gov "affinity") are: Uplift modeling, INF (no academic users) Survival Analysis, 2.47 Regression, 2.00

Le Blog d'Olivier Berruyer sur les crises actuelles Vous avez peut-être encore en tête le principal résultat proclamé de l’accord du 26 octobre 2011 : “La décote volontaire de 50 % de la dette grecque”, qui a été reprise par tous les médias, et qui est souvent qualifiée ainsi. Nous allons voir qu’en fait nous sommes bien loin des 50 %, et que la montagne a, comme d’habitude, accouché d’une souris naine… Pour bien comprendre, il faut savoir que la dette grecque représente environ 360 Md€ et ses principaux détenteurs sont les suivants :

He was referring to signals by the Soviet Union that it desired to defuse the most dangerous nuclear confrontation ever to occur between the superpowers, which many analysts have interpreted as a classic instance of nuclear "Chicken". Chicken is the usual game used to model conflicts in which the players are on a collision course.
