  • ot rate in the commodities market indicates an immediate need for a commodity, with a delivery date usually falling within two business days of the trade date
    Forward Rate vs. Spot Rate: What's the Difference?
  • For the philosopher is confronted not by one complex many dimensional picture, the unity of which, such as it is, he must come to appreciate; but by two pictures of essentially the same order of complexity, each of which purports to be a complete picture of man-in-the-world, and which, after separate scrutiny, he must fuse into one vision. Let me refer to these two perspectives, respectively, as the manifest and the scientific images of man-in-the-world
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • The plurality I have in mind is not that which concerns the distinction between the fact finding, the ethical, the aesthetic, the logical, the religious, and other aspects of experience, for these are but aspects of one complex picture which is to be grasped reflectively as a whole.
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • Here the most appropriate analogy is stereoscopic vision, where two differing perspectives on a landscape are fused into one coherent experience.

  • For he is confronted not by one picture, but, in principle, by two and, in fact, by many
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • What we must rather say is that the specialist knows his way around in his own neighbourhood, as his neighbourhood, but doesn't know his way around in it in the same way as a part of the landscape as a whole.

  • But while the term 'analysis' was helpful in its implication that philosophy as such makes no substantive contribution to what we know and is concerned in some way to improve the manner in which we know it
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • For just as one cannot come to know one's way around in the highway system as a whole without knowing one's way around in the parts, so one can't hope to know one's way around in 'things in general, without knowing one's way around in the major groupings of things.
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • There is much truth in the Platonic conception that the special disciplines are perfected by philosophy, but the companion conception that the philosopher must know his way around in each discipline as does the specialist, has been an ever more elusive ideal since the scientific revolution began. Yet if the philosopher cannot hope to know his way around in each discipline as does the specialist, there is a sense in which he can know his way around with respect to the subject matter of that discipline, and must do so if he is to approximate to the philosophic aim.

  • Thus, the historian reflects not only on historical events themselves, but on what it is to think historically
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • Again, the specialist must have a sense of how not only his subject matter, but also the methods and principles of his thinking about it fit into the intellectual landscape
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • . Philosophy in an important sense has no special subject-matter which stands to it as other subject matters stand to other special disciplines
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • It can be argued that anything which can be properly called 'knowing how to do something' presupposes a body of knowledge that
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • Knowing one's way around is, to use a current distinction, a form of 'knowing how' as contrasted with 'knowing that'
    PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENTIFIC IMAGE OF MAN
  • The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term

  • This study provides initial experimental evidence that laptops may harm academic performance even when used as intended. Participants using laptops are more likely to take lengthier transcription-like notes with greater verbatim overlap with the lecture. Although taking more notes, thereby having more information, is beneficial, mindless transcription seems to offset the benefit of the increased content, at least when there is no opportunity for review.

  • Bui, Myerson, and Hale (2013) found an advantage for laptop over longhand note taking. However, their results were driven by a condition in which they explicitly instructed participants to transcribe content, rather than allowing them to take notes as they would in class

  • Data organization: better organized data is easier to use Data compatibility: different applications or systems can then use the same data Data migration: data with matching formats can be moved from one system to another Data merging: data with the same organization can be merged together Data enhancement: data can be displayed with more detailed fields Data comparison: apples-to-apples comparisons of the data can then be made

  • Data transformation usually involves: Adding, copying, or replicating data Deleting fields or records Standardizing the names of variables Renaming, moving, or combining columns in a database Joining one set of data with another Saving a file in a different format. For example, saving a spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file. Why transform data?

  • Motivation: Are decisions or actions driven primarily by a shared goal or interest that benefits the group as a whole, or do they primarily benefit members simply because they are part of the group? Fairness: Are individuals treated fairly based on their merits and actions, or is there a tendency to favor or disfavor individuals based solely on their group affiliation? Impact: How does the behavior or decision affect individuals both within and outside the group? Does it promote inclusivity and equity, or does it reinforce exclusivity and inequality?

  • Putting Loss into Perspective A simple way to tackle loss aversion is to ask ourselves what the worst outcome would be if the course of action was taken. Usually, this helps us put loss and the strong associated feelings with it into perspective. This way, we can get over our fears and better rationalize if it is worth making a decision or not.

  • Framing The way that a transaction is framed can significantly influence an individual’s perception of loss aversion. Phrasing a question as a loss may increase loss aversion, while phrasing that same question as a gain may reduce loss aversion, leading to a more calculated response.12 When proposing a transaction, try framing the options in a way that highlights the potential benefits that can be achieved, rather than emphasizing the risks.
