LISTA DE LEYES NOMBRADAS A TRAVES DE UNA PERSONA

La neta no supe como traducir `List of Eponymous Laww` pero estoy seguro que Strika sabe...

En fin, me dejo el link un lector anonimo al cual agradezco mucho. Esta muy bueno.
Hasta la ley de Archie viene por ahi.

Les dejo los de la A...y en el link el resto.



* Amara's law — "We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run."
* Amdahl's law — Used to find out the maximum expected improvement to an overall system when only a part of it is improved. Named after Gene Amdahl (born 1922).
* Ampère's law — In physics, it relates the circulating magnetic field in a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop. Discovered by André-Marie Ampère.
* Archie's law — In petrophysics, relates the in-situ electrical conductivity of sedimentary rock to its porosity and brine saturation. Named for Gus Archie (1907–1978).
* Asimov's three laws of robotics — Also called, more simply, the Three Laws of Robotics or just the Three Laws, a set of rules which the fictional robots appearing in the writings of Isaac Asimov (1920–1992) must obey. There were eventually four Laws when the Zeroeth was added.
* Avogadro's law — In chemistry and physics, one of the gas laws, relating to the volume and molarity of a gas.

MISSING DOLLAR RIDDLE

Esta es muy buena. La respuesta va venir en el título.
Se las pongo en inglés, sorry x no traducir pero ando corto de tiempo y no quería dejar tanto tiempo sin postear.

Si alguien se la sabe ponga la respuesta en los comentarios. (no sean tramposos y la lean primero, confío en ustedes!)

Three guests check into a hotel room. The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10. Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25. To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally. As the guests didn’t know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep $2 for himself.

Now that each of the guests have been given $1 back, each has paid $9, bringing the total paid to $27. The bellhop has $2. If the guests originally handed over $30, what happened to the remaining $1?

FANTASTIC MR. FOX

Ayer por fin vi "El fantastico Mr. Fox" y para mi sorpresa, estaba en espanol. O sea que me perdí las voces de Clooney, Streep, Murray, etc. Aún así, no se la pierdan, la animación está increible, y parece ser que Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenembaums) la dirigió a distancia. Es decir, el estaba en su casa y a través de la nuevas tecnologías fue dirigiendo su última peli.

Les dejo el trailer.




Por cierto, una vez más, la selección de música de Anderson es buenísima!

MAPA DE EMISIONES, NACIMIENTOS Y MUERTES

Les dejo el link de este mapa que me encanto. En cada pais te dice cuanta gente nace y muere por minuto y cuantas toneladas de CO2 emite.

En China nace una persona cada 1.7 segundos! Y muere una cada 3.4. Como la ven? Hagan sus cuentas. Al rato cada quien va a tener que alojar un chinito en su cuarto.
