That's neat! You should add team winning percentage as another stat to see if it improves your results. It might reduce the occurrence of false positives for players like Lillard and Rondo.

Andrey Butov from the Bootstrapped.fm podcast developed a cross-platform desktop application called Scribbleton ( https://scribbleton.com/ ) that sounds like exactly what you are looking for.

I currently live near Dayton and grew up near Pittsburgh. If you don't have ties to either city, I would take job with better benefits and manager in Pittsburgh. Both are nice cities with a surprising number of tech jobs. Housing is a

Yes the "what's new" section is the first thing I looked for! Does anyone know if this new version supports HEVC/H.265 video? I would upgrade my existing Chromecast if more codecs were supported but I didn't see any

Did your friend share any reasons why the turnover is so high? I've heard Amazon pays well and it seems like there would be interesting work to do. Is the environment bad or do people just find it easier to move up to better jobs at di

Your career is definitely not shot. I've known people who completely bailed on their first job out of college within a few weeks and bounced back on their feet almost immediately. I would contact the hiring manager (and maybe copy HR)

You will probably want to work with a business broker. These are two that I know of that have a listing of businesses for sale: http://feinternational.com/buy-a-website/ http://empireflippers.com/market

Some people work better with daily accountability and need help breaking up tasks so they don't get overwhelmed. I worked for a boss that managed this way and no one felt micromanaged. Having clear objectives and giving a 1-2 minute da

Develop a process that adds more openness and accountability. Hold a 15 minute daily standup meeting where each developer shares what they accomplished the previous day and what they plan on accomplish that day. Spend some time creating ver

I agree with this approach more than the common wisdom on this site that you should not name a number first. Pick a salary that you would be happy making given the desirability of the job, your current employment situation and the market. Q

I think Google's history of shutting down products would keep me from picking Google Cloud for a major project. If Google Cloud continues to lag behind the market, you have to think they will shut it down like Google Reader, Google Wav

I would start looking for a new job immediately, but stay in your current job until you have something lined up. It's much easier to find a new job when you are already employed. Relax and just focus on developing your skills and learn

I'm just a college basketball fan that likes statistics and finds it worth $20/year for his analysis. I have season tickets to a college basketball team and I like to see information about upcoming opponents and the site's pr

Another group that this helps are colleges and universities. Universities love foreign students because they pay full price and have to be able to afford tuition before they can even come over to the US. Higher education has become a major

Interesting! I didn't know that Intel had such a feature. Most vanilla apps will run fine on any Android JVM, but I was wondering how Intel was going to support apps that use the native interface.

I thought that was strange as well. Any phone or tablet app in the Play Store that uses native code will not be compatible. I'm guessing they did this to make it more attractive to game developers. PlayStation, XBox, and PC are now all

I'll bet the average wait time for the line shrinks dramatically if the court rules in the worker's favor. As it stands now, Integrity/Amazon have no incentive to adequately staff the line with security personnel since the wo

SQLite is also used in many embedded systems. If you plug in a USB drive to my TV, it creates a SQLite database to keep track of the current position of the video files it plays.

I used to have an HSBC card that offered 2% cash back on weekend purchases. Capital One acquired HSBC's accounts a few years ago and no longer offers that deal.

I did an analysis on the accurate of Zestimates a few years ago. I took sales data for my county from the previous month (that Zillow had not imported yet) and compared it to the Zestimates Zillow computed. The mean error was almost 0, but

You probably are overtaxing your central nervous system. Not getting enough sleep keeps your nervous system from fully recovering, which makes it harder to push yourself even if you have the cardiovascular and muscle capacity.

Slingbox seems to have a strong position in this market. It's tougher to stream video from a person's home than from a data center. Most homes with broadband have limited upload speed that makes it difficult to stream good quality

I think Uber's value comes from the fact that they will eventually expand beyond taxi service. They could leverage their network of UberX drivers to disrupt courier and delivery services. Imagine being able to order food from a grocery
