What about the other features that contribute to the price of a used car? From smaller ones like if the previous owner was a smoker to larger ones like whether the car was involved in an accident (even a smaller one). Usually there is a catch with the lower price. Or should I interpret the hiding feature as "for every 9 out of 10 people selling their cars, there's an idiot that doesn't know what his car is worth".

The 421 Loop
A Math-magical Loop
Pick a whole number and enter it into your calculator.

If it is even, divide by 2. If it is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.
Repeat the process with the new number over and over. What happens?
The sequence always ends in the "loop": 4.....2.....1.....4.....2.....1...

Let’s illustrate with an Example:

Start with 17
17 is odd, so we multiply by 3 and add 1. We get 52. (17x3=51+1=52)
52 is even, so we divide by 2. We get 26. (52 / 2 = 26)
26 is also even, so we divide by 2 again and get 13.
13 is odd, so we multiply by 3 and add 1. We get 40. (13x3=39+1=40)
40 is even, so we divide by 2. We get 20. (40 / 2 = 20)
20 is even, so we divide by 2 and get 10.
10 is also even so we divide by 2 again and get 5.
5 is odd so we multiply by 3 and add 1. We get 16.
16 is even, so we divide by 2 and get 8.
8 is also even so we divide by 2 again and get 4.
4 is even so we divide by 2. We get 2.
2 is even, so we divide by 1 and get 1.
1 is odd, so we multiply by 3 and add 1. We get 4.
4 is even so we divide by 2. We get 2. And so we begin the loop
4.....2.....1.....4.....2.....1...

I'm sorry about saying these subjects are not related. I was wrong.

But consumers are why these producers are in business. They must fulfil their needs and desires to stay in business. But you are right about not consuming. But this would be possible if there are alternatives. But there is a war on alternatives because they can not be legal, or they are pushed to their limits where they can not compete with the mainstream players.

By the way, by saying producers, most of the time I mean, distributors or production companies. Not actors or musicians.
I wonder if they are able to determine in any way the "extras" on a car. A bare base model car doesn't really compare to the same car with every extra tacked on especially if that extra upgrades the engine. Paying 2K for what was originally 10K of extras might very well be worth it.

Edit2:

Searching for Manual Infiniti G35 it sadly did exactly what I thought it might do. Two '05 matches, $1k apart so it hides the more expensive one. Looking at them though the 1k gets you nav, heated seats, better stereo etc i.e. the upgrade to the premium package of that year. At 1K price difference I would rather try to negotiate for the nicer one first.

There UI does provides a simple way of showing the worse off cars so this is all moot. Really great little way to show off their tool and get some advertising. You still have to click on all of the cars.
Not necessarily true. If you have a particular bitstream that approximates a waveform, and you use a fourier transform to generate an approximation with sufficient accuracy that it reproduces the same bitstream, you have something lossless.

Also, even if you don't go that far, many lossless algorithms operate by first providing an approximation and then including the (usually small) deltas between the approximation and the actual bitstream.

I don't agree at all.

There is no valid reason to sell poisoned food; nor is there any valid reason to buy it. This is (rightfully) considered criminal.

There are valid reasons to sell products like tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, marajuana, etc. And there are valid reasons to consume them.

To mush these together and claim that it's just a difference in degree is disgusting and dishonest.

I'm not accusing you of being disgusting and dishonest; you're just testing the waters of the argument made by the author of the article. But for him to write such an article is at best intellectually evasive.
I think you should give them a chance to get in line with your other clients. 80/20 principle and all, Get rid if they take up a disproportionate amount of your time vs the revenue they bring in.

Drop them a mail, inform them that your rates have changed, new working conditions, expectations, turnaround time etc details should be attached also. Clearly outline the working process should they wish to keep working with you.

If they can't agree to the new conditions you'll be happy to refer them to other consultants.

You might be surprised that they start to be easier to deal with. I guess it all depends on how much you want to keep them.

Yes, but my experience is that it's much less likely than it used to be, because /newest churns really fast and gets only a small proportion of total pageviews. So it greatly helps to get the first few upvotes form elsewhere to jumpstart things. My guess is a substantial proportion of frontpage stories got their first few upvotes from somewhere other than people scanning /newest. Not necessarily friends, but perhaps a link on Twitter or an IRC channel.

A/B testing and the like will only guide you to local maxima. Human thought and intuition, ie design, will retain its importance as the impetus for original ideas which can then be optimized through testing. And users will continue to evaluate software as they do today, "with their own eyes and emotions." Sorry, nerds.
"It's just a centralized hub for wasting time."

Sure, but let's take a step back and think about that statement in broader historical context. For a great many users, the internet itself is nothing more than a way of wasting time (well, wasting time and shopping -- though the latter often falls under the auspices of the former). The only functional difference is that Facebook is a "centralized hub"[1] for such time wasting.

If Facebook never happened, if social networking in general never happened, people would still be wasting time online. And companies would still be making money off of that activity.

[1] I would argue that the "centralized hub" description is apt, but there's an important distinction in the way users traverse that hub. Facebook isn't a portal or a walled garden in the way that, say, AOL was -- and this point is often lost on pundits and casual observers. Instead, Facebook is increasingly becoming a hub around which the rest of the web orbits. It lives with the distributed content web -- something portals often had trouble doing -- but it's the center of gravity within that web. People find things on Facebook, sure, but people also scour the web and share things back on Facebook. It's sort of like a beehive or an ant colony, actually.

This is the real genius of social networking. There's no need for Facebook to have to aggregate and curate content; its users do that heavy lifting for it. There's no need for Facebook to have to develop games and other diversions; its developers do that for it. All Facebook needs to do is not piss off its users, while also monetizing them. That's a delicate balance in the long run, but for the time being, Facebook is sitting pretty in a wide-open field without apparent challengers.
Franchising – How to Tell If It is the Right Choice for You
I get what you mean and it's probably a fair assumption. But, the data you showed and the conclusion you draw "Won't be adding that FB button soon" is totally illogical. You have no idea how many ppl. that are coming to grove, want's to sign in but don't because they have neither a twitter or github account and/or don't want to sign up with it.

You need to add a FB signup button, test the increase (or non increase) of signups and then draw conclusions. Or measure bounce rates in some smart way. Your current method isn't very scientific.
Yeah, there are so many variables that go into what a specific used car is worth that a tool like this has some usefulness but certainly can't be relied upon to always find the "best deal." For example a car with higher mileage and a higher price may be a better deal if it has had all the recommended maintenance done at a dealership and has documentation to prove it, vs. an identical car that's had no documented maintenance.

Facebook Dodging Taxes?
The publisher will always claim it is not fraud no matter what level of investigation Google performs. And Google only refunds the portion of the earnings that they find to be in violation. This to me, as a business owner, seems logical when looking at it from Google's point of view. If I owned Adsense, I can't imagine doing it any differently or more fairly when having to consider both the paying advertiser and the warning publisher. Those two parties will never agree if they were in direct contact so Google has to be the middle man and play the bad guy to at least one of them.

Hacker News patrons would be equally up in arms if the article was about AdWORDS paid ads that a small website owner found to be fake clicks, paid money for, asked for a refund, was refused, and wrote a blog about. Google really can't win.

The history of the free market (to the extent that markets can truly be free) shows that your view in italics is not correct.

Regulation has led to clean water standards, electrical wiring standards, safe working environments, etc. In countries where such standards don't exist or are loosely enforced one sees that mechanisms aren't developed to deal with these situations. Just look at China. Companies try to cut corners. They do it whenever they can get away from it. There are examples where companies don't cut corners but there are a plethora of examples to show that enough companies do cut corners that it is needed to have some regulations.

When you're playing a game like that you become highly attuned to the characteristics of your input device.

I find the same thing happens when playing console games and the "look" stick acceleration curves are completely different between games. It is disorienting until you get your bearings and adjust to the speed and acceleration of each input system.

Just as switching between Windows and OS X means switching from CTRL to CMD, you kind of have to go with the flow on mouse speed, acceleration, and so on.

Interesting, this article touches on an internal dispute that has been going on for quite some time within our industry: the fact that software engineering as a profession is rather "loosy-goosey", that is, the lack of any formal accreditation standards that are common in other engineering professions.

Granted, our industry is still very young compared to other engineering professions, so of course we still have kinks to work out. In my opinion, I believe it will benefit our industry in the long run if we can all agree on a base set of knowledge & skills that all self-proclaiming software engineers should have, no matter their specialization.

Because right now, for having an "engineer" slapped at the end of our job title, the only form of standardization we have is a college degree.

What do you mean? If the original source is analog and sampled below its Nyquist rate in the analog-to-digital conversion, the process is indeed irreversible. But that all happens before any transforms from the time domain to the frequency domain are in play, so it's a separate issue.

Beyond that, discrete Fourier and cosine transforms as usually implemented are not fully reversible because of loss in precision. A colleague of mine blogged about the issue in the context of Haar transforms a few years ago: http://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2008/09/09-08-08-1.html. By decomposing an orthogonal transform into shears as explained by Charles, you can design reversible fixed-precision variants of the DCT like binDCT: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.41.8...
Sure, small A/B testing will probably only get you to a local maxima. I've never understood why most people think A/B testing is just about changing the color of a button -- it's that, but it's so much more. It's about testing any idea, no matter how big a change it is.

Most people don't lack original ideas, just like there's no shortage of people who would like to be major league baseball players. What people do lack is the ability (or perhaps just the will) to evaluate their ideas objectively.

And while users may evaluate software with their own eyes and emotions, that behavior manifests itself in objective, quantifiable outcomes that have some impact on your business. If measurable user behavior doesn't impact your business, I'd guess you aren't really in a user-driven business.

I got my first job when I went to a company that sold Atari computers to buy from them an Editor/Assembler cartridge for the Atari 800. They were also selling Altos business computers and they wanted someone to help them with sales, they thought that if I wanted to buy that cartridge then I did know about microcomputers and microprocessors. I wasn't really interested in business computers or selling them but they did have lots of Atari software I could play with, I thought that could be fun so I took the job.

Their main focus was to sell 8 bit Altos computers running M/PM, a multiuser version of C/PM. I really didn't care much about those computers, but a few months later Altos introduced the Altos 586, a 16 bit computer running Xenix. I had bought a copy of the "C Programming Language" a couple of years before and that was the first time I could get my hands on a machine with a C compiler. From then on I spent all my time playing with that computer, 7 days a week, writing C programs and learning all I could about Unix. The Altos 586 turned out to be a very popular computer, we sold many of those, and I became well known in the local computer industry as the Unix & C guru. From then on, people who have offered me a job have always been people who know me and know what I can do, so the certification has never been and issue.

It's what is happening now because that is where the interest for home 3D printing is and what the capabilities of those printers are. 3D printing is popular among the maker crowd, and the printers are mostly capable of doing relatively low resolution, single material prints of models specifically designed to be printable (low overhang, fitting within a small build envelope, no features smaller than a couple of millimeters, etc).

I suspect it won't be that long before home 3D printers are much more capable and there is greater interest from commercial content producers to access that market. Imagine for example a functioning single piece carburetor. Some amount of engineering would go into such a thing, and it would be non-trivial to reverse engineer a copy of it by scanning or other means. It would however be trivial to redistribute the file on the Pirate Bay.

I think what we will see at minimum is objects being sold as signed files containing "compiled" G-code (or some proprietary equivalent) for each specific printer model rather than as solid object files. The G-code could always still be reverse engineered based on the commands arriving at the motor controllers, but it would be less easy to adapt to arbitrary printers.
