Goldman Sachs learnt its lesson from the financial meltdown. I have NO DOUBT that Google could be the next Goldman Sachs. Instead of specializing in what they know how to do best, Google is flying all over the technology arena; Cell phones, browser, OS, Search Engine(what they should be doing), YouTube + … + many more. When it comes to technologies I believe one should scale up and not scale out.
By scaling out Google is leveraging products like Bing which have a very high probability of taking big bites into its Search Engine market share.
I just fail to understand how MySQL and Oracle can co-exist under one roof. Their relationship goes like this:
Snake + Rat = Healthy Snake ..
I don’t believe Oracle is going to let its flagship product, Oracle Database, have a competitor (MySQL) under the same roof. This just doesn’t add up.
In five years I think MySQL will be known as Oracle’sSQL. I no reason to believe MySQL will be free in the near future. Oracle is not known for free stuff.
I am almost done with training on Semantic Web Programming. My next topic involves the use of XSL Transformations. XML -> RDF/XML. I am very good with XSLT. This should be fun
You want it. I got it. You can download the VB Excel macro for Munich chain ladder from my website here
Sample code
'to calculate Res(P(i,t))
Cells(5 * n + (3 * n - 3) + 39, 1).Value = "Res(I(i,t))" operation_num = 0
For i = 0 To n - 1 For j = 2 To n - operation_num If i = 0 And j = n Then 'Do nothing Else Cells(5 * n + (3 * n - 3) + 40 + i, j).Value = (((Cells(i + n + 6, j + 1) / Cells(i + n + 6, j)) - Cells(2 * n + 8, j)) / Cells(2 * n + (2 * n - 2) + 18, j)) * Cells(i + n + 6, j) ^ 0.5
End If Next j
operation_num = operation_num + 1
Next i
This was a project for my final semester while in school [University of Wisconsin-Stout]
This is bad news .. this marks the beginning of the end of the free southpark and lots of other free stuff on hulu .. The CEO of Disney says we might start paying for content on hulu ..
