Over the past couple of weeks, more than a few GRS readers have complained about the site’s tone. These folks are afraid that Get Rich Slowly is turning into a column that’s only about frugality and self-denial, one that is neglecting the “rich” part of the blog’s title. These concerns came to the fore in last week’s article about remembering to appreciate what I already have. In that discussion, ObjectiveGeek wrote: I want the best possible life for myself and my family. Maybe that means a dream house, or maybe that means the freedom to travel any and everywhere, but maybe that means both. I’d be proud of my dream home if I had earned the m...

In 2005, Vineet Sinha was a PhD student in MIT's computer science department, presenting some of his work at a prestigious academic conference in San Diego. The project, Relo, proposed that one way to increase programmers' efficiency was to help them understand vast swaths of already-existing software code more quickly; understanding the code that exists, Sinha explains, requires an enormous investment of time, but if programmers don't do it, their new contributions tend to create problems. Relo created diagrams that showed how various chunks of code were connected to each other — a sort of automatically-generated Ra...

Under pressure from investors to provide more transparency, European Union (EU) officials are widening the scope of banking stress tests to include more national and regional banks and to assess sovereign-debt risks when calculating how lenders would perform against shocks to the banking system.

The moves come as investors have been increasing pressure on the EU to provide complete transparency while conducting stress tests on the banks.

EU leaders have already agreed to publish stress test results for 26 banks next month - mainly big, cross-border institutions - to address concerns about the Eurozone's exposure to sovereign debt.
