Golden Dawn's faces
These cute faces are from the last few days, when these gentlemen, members of the Greek parliament (Golden Dawn),
were arrested. I like their looks. Why do they not like them? I guess they are jealous of them.
And here is a bonus portrait. No, this gentleman was not arrested, but he certainly looks good.

What measure theory is about
It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.
The principle of dynamic programming
max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]
The bottom line

ReplyDeleteFace Divination!
Hmmmmmmm
Well, if it supports your arguments, I guess it is all OK.
What would you imagine would be the politics of this guy? Or this guy?
Sabio,
ReplyDeleteMy sense of "humour" seems to have failed again. These are all pictures taken at the time of arrest of these gentlemen. I did not claim that their faces imply something about their ideology/politics/crimes. Nevertheless, they are funny.
Thanks for the link to face divination. I was not aware of the concept. The page led me to dice reading. I tossed the dice and go this message:
"A short trip turns out to be both fun and profitable."
I *am* actually planning a short trip, as I just finished teaching. So, there, I am not convinced that the dice told me the truth. I may try runes next (which I can also find on the road here, in Sweden.)
LOL -- nah, you are a funny dude.
ReplyDeleteMay the dice speak the truth!
