R Throwdown Challenge 185
theodp (442580) writes "'R beats Python!' screams the headline at Prof. Norm Matloff's Mad (Data) Scientist blog. 'R beats Julia! Anyone else wanna challenge R?' Not that he has anything against Python, Matloff adds, but he just doesn't believe that Python or Julia will become 'the new R' anytime soon, or ever. Why? 'R is written by statisticians, for statisticians,' explains Matloff. 'It matters. An Argentinian chef, say, who wants to make Japanese sushi may get all the ingredients right, but likely it just won't work out quite the same. Similarly, a Pythonista could certainly cook up some code for some statistical procedure by reading a statistics book, but it wouldn't be quite same. It would likely be missing some things of interest to the practicing statistician. And R is Statistically Correct.'"

The problem is that Google seems to be routinely reading the email accounts of people working at 'Top News Organizations'. This isn't just random automated scanning but a deliberate invasion of privacy.

Bitcoin is not an insured bank, gone means gone with no legal recourse. Yes, skimmers exist. Credit card companies have far more protection against fraud. What is your 'pro Bitcoin' arguement again?
US Dollars are also not a bank or a credit card company so why are you trying to compare a form of currency to something its obviously not?
