Say there are 100 people on a social network: 50 with tons of friends ("popular"), and 50 with only a couple of friends ("unpopular"). If you pick a random person out of the social network's user list, there's

In this example, if you select a user object "Bob Smith" and then set first_name="Jim" but haven't flushed yet, will name be "Bob Smith" or "Jim Smith"? I haven't worked much with column pro

But websites don't ask for my consent before they show me ads, and I have no idea what they expect the "price" of an article to be before I click on it, nor what I'll be getting in return. Why does the author of an artic

It would also be nice to be able to search both ways. Right now searching only shows what the other person is offering, but it might be nice to search by what they want. That way you can search by the skills you have to see what you can get

You're expected to pay tax on the value of barter in many places. Not sure about the US but in Canada you are. Not that anyone does, but if the CRA comes knocking you could be in trouble. :)

Currently the top 2 offers are "nothing for everything" and "ass for ass". Someone else may have gotten confused between the two fields because they're offering to give people head in exchange for PHP.

Yup, one of my professors in college had this and she would use a different variation of her name in each facet of her life so that when she met someone out of context, she would know where she knew them from.

Yup it certainly could be, although it loses value in the form of maintenance costs and can only earn value in the form of bread. So if you can find good bread-trading partners or can sell your bread for non-devaluing currency then that can

The $10 billion in that scenario isn't worth any more than ~$3 is today, so it's not actually as lucrative as it sounds. :) Plus because there's hyperinflation happening, the $10 billion you sold your bread for may not be eno

In that case you would invest in assets, not cash or stocks. A chunk of land with a garden and a couple of goats would be very handy when a loaf of bread costs $10 billion at the store.

That first graph stinks. It only counts job work hours worked per job worker, not work hours per person. In 1950 there were an awful lot of households with one adult working a paid job and one adult handling most of the household work. Acco

It does seem to work that way, I'm sure I've signed up for Verified by Visa but I've only had to use it once or twice. Which makes me happy, because I hate it.

Actually, the scientific method involves coming up with a hypothesis first and then collecting data for it. What you are suggesting is called data fishing and is a major flaw in many so-called "scientific" studies... https:/

OK, so I get that this patch is a joke, but I don't use Grails (or Ruby, or Groovy, or Rails) so I can't tell if this entire project is supposed to be a joke or not. It was merged in, and there was already a SearchableGrailsDomain

That's not turnabout. Turnabout would be consumers getting access to all the data on the people behind the tracking, so that we can stalk them the way they're stalking us. I want the full data of every store location Carl Szabo ha
