Python and AWS Cookbook

My first experience with Amazon Web Services was on March 14, 2006. I had seen a press release announcing a new web-based storage service called Simple Storage Service (S3), and I remember thinking how strange it seemed that Amazon would be offering such a service.

Essentials of Taxation

Taxes have a pervasive impact on our lives. They affect every individual in the United States from birth to death, and even beyond death (through taxation of an individual’s estate). Taxes likewise affect every business from formation of the business entity to its operations, distribution of profits to owners, and ultimate disposition or liquidation. Despite the wide-ranging impact of taxes,…

Statistical distances have two very important uses in statistical analysis. Firstly, they can be applied naturally to the case of parametric statistical inference. The idea of minimum distance estimation has been around for a while and there are many nice properties that the minimum distance estimators enjoy.

U.S. spacecraft have circled Earth, landed on the Moon and Mars, orbited Jupiter and Saturn, and traveled beyond the orbit of Pluto and out of the ecliptic. These spacecraft have sent back to Earth images and data that have greatly expanded human knowledge, though many important questions remain una…

Test-Driven Infrastructure with Chef

“When deploying and administering large infrastructures, it is still common to think in terms of individual machines rather than view an entire infrastructure as a combined whole.

Following these achievements and with the ensuing defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders lost significant parts of their business and work force, ha…
