UnRisk and China-Quants. 8 Good Reasons for a Spirited Partnership.

Shawn Liu (picture) head of China-Quants , Shanghai, UnRisk partner, and us met in our development center to formulate the strategic blueprint for marketing UnRisk technologies in China. In a 3 days workshop we thought like one company.

Custom-Fabricated Risk Analytics Factories?

Article in Wired Magazine Feb 2010 . In an age of open source, custom-fabricated and do-it-yourself product design all yo need - is a brilliant idea. Portals to the future of manufacturing are shown in examples like the power of micro-factories for developing a car - LocalMotors, Warham-Masschusetts, combining the power of crowdsourced design and professional experience to develop a power Rally Car. The manufacturing muscle came from a car company.

A Risky Skyline of a Portfolio?

I like modern architecture and look frequently into Hayes Davidson . They run now a project that explores visual perception: How would you design London's Skyline?

Bullet Trains and Intermodal Express Traveling

In Bullet Trains are Coming I have compared our fast solvers, combining advanced mathematical schemes and high-performance-computing technology, with the speed-trains.

Fast or super fast?

Bullet Trains are Coming

I read in Wired Feb-10 . After decades of false starts, planners are finally beginning to make headway on what could become the largest, most complicated infrastructure project ever attempted in the US. Technically, Speed-Trains are high-voltage rockets. Fast Train History leads to TGV with a speed record of 357 MPH.

wyNiwyg

Remember, what you see is what you get - wySiwyg? In short, users visualize what they are producing.

What you Need is what you get? Users declare what they are computing?

Minimalism

Our ear anatomy is minimalist in the following sense: less complexity and it could not transform sound-waves into enough information for our brain, more complexity and we would only recognize noise.

This kind of minimalism is also required in modeling financial instruments ( as outlined in When Good ENUF is Great ) to receive enough reliable information to supporting deal decisions.

It came to Light as iPad

and looks like this . And it is like designed for our What the Sky Can Promise vision on the client side.

Rumors Come To Light

"Apple tablet computers", rumors come to light in high frequency now. I will like them.

If UnRisk was a Glass

it was most probably a Zalto glass. From the first touch, each glass distinguishes from other glasses. Technical perfection is the basic principle. The glasses are not only about design. They are produced in the tradition of glassblowing of Venice, but without addition of lead oxide they are resistant against clouding. Despite its feather-light weight they maintain the best attributes of a modern glass: they may be washed in a dishwasher and are surprisingly break-proof.

I have most of them and I confirm.
