I'm always amazed at the way people will always find a way to be outraged at change. LinkedIn makes it so if you want to see who's viewing you, you have to agree to be viewable, removing a potential information asymmetry and this is somehow

If somebody says "evolution is a lie, and it shouldn't be taught to children", the fact that they don't actually live their life according to that credo is sort of irrelevant.

As presented, that just means 9% of people think it's too high, but shouldn't be eliminated. I think the issue with your presentation is that 'cut' can mean either 'reduced' or 'eliminated'.

Didn't expect a response from you! All is excellent, except for the fact that I'm east coast now and the mixed game and limit game selection around here is worse than terrible. Seriously though, I meant what I said about the debt of gratit

I've never been on deucescracked, but as a long-time acquaintance (and poker foe) of Joe Tall, DeathDonkey and Jay Rosenkratz, I'd be surprised if it wasn't good. I can still remember the exact moment back in 2002 or 2003 where I realized j

Poker is an education and entertainment product. Entertainment, because professional players are allowing amateurs to pay to meet better players, and test their skills against them. There really aren't many other games where this is the ca

My car automatically throws on the brakes if it thinks I'm about to hit something (tested accidentally, once, and it stopped me with about one car length to spare.), and my cruise control watches for cars in front of me, so it will go the s

Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

This guy doesn't deal in those books. He deals in books with known prices and enough volume that he can be reasonably sure it'll sell in a moderate amount of time. If nobody else has it on amazon, this guy isn't buying it and putting it up

He deals in non-obscure books with known pricing and demand. Your hard to find, obscure book won't be on his shelf. And on the off-chance it is, he's pricing based on other vendor prices, so it won't be cheaper. So... consider him a saint

I'm using ZFS with SSDs as L2ARC and intent log devices, and standard SAS drives as the main spindles, all sitting in a JBOD enclosure. It won't make purely random reads fast, but it makes my workloads scream .

As with so many things, the devil is in the details. Here's a simple keyword example: accounting services and accounting service are different, with substantial gaps in search volume and competitiveness. Do you know which one is worth mor

In my experience, FreeBSD's greatest asset doesn't fit well on a feature list. It's that it has a different attitude towards change than Linux. Linux is a diverse ecosystem, with tons of experiments driving it forward. Different package m

My barber sends me a coupon at about the time I need my next haircut. That coupon converted me to a regular, even though I always forget to bring it with me. It reminds me to make an appointment with him, not one of the many other haircut

It is, and the HP-12C is allowed for the CFA exams. That said, it's a very short list of what calculators are allowed.

Your argument is only true for people who have only one business idea. If you have a wealth of ideas, you can execute one and sell at a point that gets security for your self and your family, then execute another and aim bigger, but with y

If you're going to blame something for lots of problems, kindly learn what it is first. You are king among the problems in the United States today. You hold opinions on things where you are grossly ignorant.

Poster frame for the episode: Title: Dexter - My Bad. Description: Dexter stands in a dank, dirty, dimly lit public bathroom, gripping a fishing anchor, a malevolent look in his eyes.

To use a non-hypothetical example, right now I'm watching a series: Title: Dexter. Description: A likable Miami police forensics expert moonlights as a serial killer of criminals who he believes have escaped justice. The exact episode also

There were several variables in my statements. Just a friendly reminder, you referred to pageviews as "the most important metric", thus my question. User engagement... While pageviews can be used as a mediocre proxy for user engagement,

This doesn't make any sense. If you want your founder to swing for a long ball, you have to free him to do so. A partial payout means his utility curve looks a lot more like yours, which is a good thing.

their willingness to sell for $750k makes me wonder if they were the visionaries then that they appear to be now. Or perhaps they had more than one idea, and selling a preliminary collection of search algorithms to reduce personal financi
