The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
In this regard , Nature seems indeed to have outdone herself. It is well known that Nature manages, rather mysteriously, to keep constant the relative frequency of certain natural phenomena. For instance, whether men proliferate at the Northern Pole or at the Equator, whether the matching couples are developed or underdeveloped, whether they are black, red, white or yellow the female to male ratio among the newly born is a constant, with a very slight prevalence of males. We do not know how Nature achieves this remarkable result but we know that in order to achieve it Nature must operate with large numbers. The most remarkable fact about the frequency of stupidity is that Nature succeeds in making this frequency equal to the probability s quite independently from the size of the group. Thus one finds the same percentage of stupid people whether one is considering very large groups or one is dealing with very small ones. No other set of observable phenomena offers su...
THE HUMAN STUPIDITY
THE HUMAN STUPIDITY OUR FEARS ENVIRONMENT, ECOLOGY AND NUTRITION THE THOUGHTLESS THAT DOMINATE THE WORLD WHAT WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE WHAT IS GOD ? THE UNIVERSE AND US SELECTION OF MY MUSIC If you don't clearly understand what human stupidity consist of, just look around you. There are always wars, territorial conflicts among countries, slaughters and starvation. But it is not necessary to look so far to see the human stupidity. Pay attention to the news, read books and magazines, listen to those who surround you and observe what they quarrel and worry about, and at last, look at yourself.

The human being creates unnecessary problems for himself and for others and is not still qualified to live and coexist in peace and to advance with generosity and respect forthe fellow-being and doesn't still imagine that each advance or own mistake implies an advance or a damage to the oth...
What is Hadoop?
I’m sure you’ve heard about Big Data. If not, I recommend you my blog post “ What is Big Data ?” The most well known technology used for Big Data is Hadoop. It is used by Yahoo, eBay, LinkedIn and Facebook. It has been inspired from Google publications on MapReduce, GoogleFS and BigTable. As Hadoop can be hosted on commodity hardware (usually Intel PC on Linux with one or 2 CPU and a few TB on HDD, without any RAID replication technology), it allows them to store huge quantity of data (petabytes or even more) at very low cost (compared to SAN bay systems). Hadoop is an open source suite, under an apache foundation: http://hadoop.apache.org/ . The Hadoop “brand” contains many different tools. Two of them are core parts of Hadoop: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a virtual file system that looks like any other file system except than when you move a file on HDFS, this file is split into many small files, each of those files is replicated and stored on (usua...
Top 10 Money Tips For Almost Everyone 1. Invest early Time is the greatest money earner. If you start by saving $200 per month for the next 50 years, you will have a much more considerable sum than saving $1000 per month for the last 10 years. This is due to the help you are getting from compounding the interest that you will get from consistently having your money work for you for a long time. The Golden Rule is to start saving and investing yesterday! 2. Pay yourself first Always put investing and saving ahead of purchases. We live in a consumerist world.
