Through "La Pastilla Roja" (The Red Pill) I reach Fernando Acero’s Live Journal, I find quite interesting the stance of this guy and keep reading his blog, until I find this (Fernando’s original in Spanish):
"We don’t know what OS God uses, but we use Linux"

It’s quite interesting, it seems this quote comes from an interview she gave last year in the ScobleShow you can find the whole interview here.
From August 2008 DAS newsletter (non-members won’t see this issue probably until next year) I can extract how ethics is again knocking on OR’s door (and economics).
A new book has been published on this matter (ethics). Professor Ron Howard and Clint Korver, in Ethics for the real world, introduce us to the "tricky" way of ethics in decision-making. I’ll put it on my wish-list!.
PS. Let’s internalise ethics into our preferences estructure, so when managing our companies and/or clients’ companies, we’ll be able to acomplish CSR for real.
From previous posts (especially this one, and this one) someone couldn’t argue I’m a little bit liberal…, at least in an economics point of view. You need to state it quite right, since such a short word means something from social liberal (USA), to libdem (UK), or even center-right, or the pejorative term neocon (have a look to this post and this Wikipedic to try untangling the mess. So, let’s say I’m someone that thinks Government is just to clear/solve market failures (yes, I’m not 100% pure). Probably, when connecting the words liberal and economics you’ll come with Milton Friedman.
It’s a pity when economics and human rights collide:
_The Economist: The Trouble with Friedman.
_Administración Hueca 2.0 (Void Admin 2.0). /// The Shock Doctrine.
I’m still a liberal economist though…, but keeping ethics and human rights RIGHT.
…because is red.
This won’t be as cryptic as it seems for those of you not aliens to Matrix universe. As Neo, I was 30 when decided to take the red pill. Sometimes I feel like I’m returning to Matrix…, but it’s just a nightmare; sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t taken it and have had the blue one…
Nah… that’s bollocks!. I feel awesome.
Recently I had my private nightmare trying to explain…, well, better defend our poor ‘average’; it is most probably the most used and abused statistical measure, and is not always well employed. For starters, the biggest confussion between it and the ‘mean’ in probabilistic contexts; then, some misunderstandings on the use of the ‘median’, an ‘average’ ‘mean’ s cousin. Following with the lack of sampling information (type of sampling, sampling error, confidence, variance), and finishing with this post that hasn’t closed the gap between previous knowledge and current knowledge on the matter, for sure…, but that’s another history.
