There is a common scam in EVE using buy orders that have a minimum quantity greater than what you're selling in your inflated contract deal so even when the mark buys your 4 cubes of refined ore for 1bil ISK, they can't sell it to your buy order because your minimum quantity is 5.

There is also a variant on it using the Margin Trading skill that lets you put up less money on a buy order than the total buy order is worth. So you can place a reasonable buy order with a minimum quantity that you are selling in your inflated contract and the buy order will never execute fully because you don't have enough money to purchase the item from the mark.

The latter is a bit more devious and harder to spot, although both are well known.
1. get lots of land

2. bribe zoning people to not allow more people to grab land

3. instead of building/managing lots and lots of buildings, put the price of the few ones high up.

it's basic pricing. if you can limit the demand and charge more, its much safer than lowering the price and trying to scale. you guys talk about that all the time here with digital goods and service. but now get impressed that people do that with real world goods since the dawn of time?!

It's an easy problem to solve: allow more housing in the Outer Sunset. The demand for housing in SF is fierce, and throwing up some towers (or hell, just a-few-stories-tall buildings) will create a huge population boom.

Which will beget the subway.

As it is there is neither the political will, nor the practical population, to support such a thing.
It isn't over-engineering because they are just Brembo calipers with Telsa stamped on them. Brembo has a huge share of the performance/racing brake market.

On a regular car you might have to have your rotors turned, but on something like this the rotors are more heavy duty and I think resist warping. Plus, on something like this you could run a lot softer pad (for track days) and need to change them out after a single weekend of use. It is still a good idea to sand the rotor surface, by hand, just so the pads will seat correctly.

Edit: And I do agree, I've never seen a "normal" car with the slide out pads... although they always look like you can do that until you get close and realize it is going to be a little more work than you thought. :)
Borders change quite a bit, Yugoslavia broke up, and Czechoslovakia too, both of which I am sure many HN readers are from. East and West Germany merged, even more HN readers from there.
It is a sieve.
Looking at what the function 'sieve' does:

sieve (p:xs) = p : sieve [x | x <- xs, x `mod` p /= 0]

The input is a list of numbers, the first of which, p, is guaranteed to be prime.
The first element of the output is p.
Then, we generate a second list, which contains all of the elements of a input list, except for the multiples of p. And we recourse into the second list.

We can make this clear by writing is as:

sieve (p:xs) = p:(sieve $ filter (\x -> x `mod` p /= 0) $ xs)

In this way, we can see that we are selecting the first element in the list, marking it as a prime (by returning it), and then removing all of the multiples of said prime, before repeating the operation on the new list. That is a literal description of the sieving algorithm.

Now, because of lazy evaluation, the sieving function may turn into going through the list one number at a time and performing trial division with all previous primes. From a theoretical perspective, this has the same time complexity (although it would be slower on modern hardware). Using a strict version of filter, the computer (should) literally perform the sieve.

It should be noted that by making sieve strict, you loose the ability to generate an infinite list of primes through sieve [2..], as that would never terminate. I believe the standard solution (as with non functional langauses) is to compute the sieve in blocks, so you solve the block the normal way, then when you get to a new block, you first go through all of your known primes and cross them out.

Edit: If you do try calling sieve (either strictly or non-strictly) on a finite list, you will need to handle the case of an empty list. Adding "sieve []=[]" in addition to the main definition should work.
We used to train players who pissed us off. In everquest creatures had a tendency to switch who they were attacking pretty easily. So you just anger a bunch and dump them on the offending player. They call it "training" because you have a train of creatures chasing you.

Training generally wasn't punished because it happened a lot on accident.
were different rulesets in play(who could attack who, what could be gained in the process(money or gear), pvp was really an afterthought for them.

I can say though that in persistent worlds there is always a history, usually fresh "meat" too though.
I suspect there were plenty of economists already looking at virtual worlds for research purposes.

>Average wages are no longer trailing inflation.

And wages as a whole have diverged from productivity since the 70s. That we're happy that wages are once again keeping pace with inflation --another way of saying "well, at least we're no longer losing money"-- is depressing in this context.

>What might help? Easing the parts of the regulatory thicket without societal benefits. Providing public financing for the sorts of early-stage scientific research and physical infrastructure that the private sector often finds unprofitable. Long term, nothing is likely to matter more than improving educational attainment, from preschool through college (which may have started already).

So... we socialize the substantial costs of doing business (infrastructure and research), cut back on "the parts of the regulatory thicket without societal benefits," --whatever that means-- and just keep pumping people through college. Has Leonhardt being paying attention at all?

We already subsidize infrastructure and research costs. Hell, it's become standard policy that no corporation shall break ground anywhere unless the host promises it special favors and decreased (or absolutely no) taxes. Regulations are more industry specific. The big ticket ones however typically revolve around finance and environment. Perhaps we should ask --well, damn near anyone-- how the year 2009 was for them financially. Perhaps we should ask the Chinese just how "without societal benefits" all of those environmental regulations are. And college? We're putting more students through than ever before. And they are predictably finding that, as the number of people with degrees rises, the value placed on their own degree decreases. And what does the hiring company look for? Experience.

>Many business executives and economists also point to immigration policy. Done right, an overhaul could make a difference, many say, by allowing more highly skilled immigrants to enter the country and by making life easier for those immigrants already here. Historically, immigrants have started more than their share of new companies.

AND we need more H-1B's? This guy's a real piece of work. We already have the ability to bring in extraordinary talent. We don't need 50,000 more outsource firm slots.

==========

Here's the thing: businesses will hire exactly as many employees as they need. No more. Perhaps less, if they can get away with it. And if they run the remaining folks at break-neck pace long enough, that level will become the new "need" level. No amount of policy or regulatory finagling is going to make a lick of difference. By bending over for Corporate America, all you're doing is throwing taxpayer money at them with the vague and unsubstantiated hope that they'll take on a few more employees. This is beyond stupid. As business becomes more automated --not mechanized, automated, as in no human required-- you can expect fewer jobs to remain and for the employment rates to level off or decline.
This is kind of silly. Doing street level market research is not a new idea and approaching people directly isn't some huge revelation. There aren't so many entrepreneurs in the world testing ideas that you would ever be affected by this more than once.

Don't be afraid to approach people and ask for their help! Most people would love to know that someone cares about their opinion. There are huge online communities that run entirely off this principle, like Yelp or Quora. If someone's not interested, they'll tell you.
When your units of networking concern are "availability zones" (i.e. data centers) rather than just switches, wouldn't network failures now be more common than server failures?
Well, it wasn't last settlement price, it was average. It's just that nobody traded in these items so completing even a single transaction practically sets the price.
The reasonably priced inventory around in downtown San Jose has been snatched up. The lowest price place I could find on real estate sites that is within walking distance from the Caltrain station is a 429K 1 bed/1 bath in the Axis tower. The housing market has turned around very quickly in SV, most of the newer condos were built before the housing crash, and it was only recently that most of them have sold the original inventory.
You're obviously going to need to justify that, since Google are fairly well known for heavy A/B testing, collect a tonne of data and make probably the most popular analytics tool on the web.

As someone who is in his 20s (for another year!) and dating of the same age, my belief is because the current generation has a real lack of motivation.

I think it is something those of us on sites like this one, and in our field in general do not notice, we tend to surround ourselves with highly driven and motivated people, but we really are the exception to the rule.

Roughly 60% of the young women I have dated (generally aged 22 and up, college graduates) had no real future focus. They weren't looking forward to or striving for any sort of goal. They were just sort of existing.

Switching tracks a bit, I remember having a conversation with a man about my age, he had an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in a related field. He was talking about how poorly developed the social skills of many young adults in this area is (true, Puget Sound is a tech haven and a lack of social skills go along with that) and how much he would love to start up a program to teach social skills to engineers. And hey, I agreed, that is a great idea, there is a large market for that in the area, he would have customers lining up around the block!

So I asked him why he hadn't done it yet. "Because the government has cut funding to social programs and there is no way I could get money for it."

He then proceeded to spend the next 20 or so minutes complaining about how it was the governments fault that he couldn't achieve his dream.

When I recommended a small business loan, or even writing up a business proposal and seeking private funding, he brushed my suggestions aside and went back to complaining about how he needed government help to get his idea up off the ground.

Everyone on this site knows that if he really had aspirations, he would find a way to make them happen. He's living in an area surrounded by people with 6 figure income and plenty of 7 figure incomes a few miles away, private fund raising alone would easily pay for his minimal expenses to get started.

But he wasn't passionate enough to actually do anything, and he is one of the few people I have encountered who have any passion at all.

I have had friends (my age group) tell me that I need to stop being so aggressive, stop being so perfectionist, stop working so hard. "Why do you try to do such a good job at everything you do? There is no need for that."

Then I walk over to my friends who are in the tech sector. We strive for the best, we talk about what we want to happen in the future, what our dreams our, what we are working towards, what house we want to buy (if any), what projects we want to work on.

And we are the lazy ones who don't have enough initiative to found our own start up! (And we all feel guilty about it, we damn well know we should)

Then of course there is the Y Combinator crowd, who are fueled by nothing but drive and passion.

So, going back to the beginning.

A lot of the young adults who have "given up hope" never had any hope to begin with. They sort of wanted a job somewhere, but they didn't want it more than anything else. They didn't desire it, they didn't need it, and they sure as heck didn't make a plan of how exactly to get it.
How is this related to anything we are talking about?
Glorified SMS? I get that the compose window is smaller but this is pretty unbelievably hyperbole. On my main screen, I get over 4000 characters before having to scroll and even on my 13" laptop screen, I can fit close to 1700 characters in the compose window before I get a scroll bar (http://cl.ly/image/0H1A2O3u251U). In contrast, the "old" version only gives me about 650 characters on my small screen (http://cl.ly/image/0h3O2H3g0P21). Perhaps I'm missing something but this seems to free up real estate.
I figured with the extreme number of recent Bitcoin posts, this would be useful information too.

One of the defining characteristics of being a psychopath is an inability to feel shame or empathy. If you feel bad about being a psychopath, then a.) you care what some online test thinks about you and b.) you are capable of feeling shame, thus by definition you are not a psychopath.

The one exception is if that test or diagnosis makes it impossible for you to achieve your goals. For example, if somebody broadcasts to the world that you're a psychopath and that means you get turned down from jobs or the government starts a manhunt for you, then a psychopath would feel bad. But on a self-report questionnaire on the Internet? That has no consequence on your actual life? If you feel bad about your psychopathy score there, you're almost certainly not a psychopath.
Citing mises.org is a conversation full stop for me.
Because too many of them are busy looking for other people to give them employment (which has been difficult for employers to do), instead of figuring out how to create wealth on their own. If more created their own businesses, they would probably be able to hire the rest — you know, the ones working in coffee shops and retail. See http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/magazine/what-the-fate-of-..., for example.
At some point in every development shop's existence, they must ask themselves a question.

"Do I want to make games for gamers, or do I want to make a fortune for myself?"

It's not Blizzard's fault that the majority of gamers don't like hardcore PVP. Every time a new PVP oriented MMO launches, it either fails immediately or quickly transitions to a more PVE-centric philosophy.

It's true that once something was able to reach us, they'd probably have very little interest in conquering us, stealing our resources, or anything else "movie aliens" do. Where I disagree is that such beings wouldn't be interested in us.

Start with us. Despite knowing basically where we came from, what our ancestors looked like, and how their DNA would look, we're still fascinated to find links and steps along the way. I'm still intrigued by bugs and bacteria, despite being much more advanced and sophisticated. We still call our dogs "smart," and enjoy when they communicate with us in their simple ways.

Anything that goes into space is probably curious. You don't even start a space program to look or travel elsewhere if you're not interested in what might be out there!

How could you not be interested in an entirely different biosphere? In exploring among plants and animals, the likes of which you'd never seen? If you lack that kind of curiosity, you'd just stay home in the first place. We're all just speculating of course, but it's an interesting topic.
That statement doesn't jive with several other articles about this exploit, and this post from the devs themselves. The players weren't banned, but they weren't allowed to keep their loot. http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/72972
This misses the point.

There are two main reasons why, when I was researching scalable databases, I primarily gravitated towards Dynamo-style replication (Cassandra, Voldemort, and at the time, Dynomite):

- There is no such thing as failover. Dynamo replication takes node failure in stride. This is what you want for a robust system where "Network Partitions are Rare, Server Failures are Not." Not only does it prevent temporary unavailability during the failover, it rules out an entire class of difficult, edge-case bugs. (Which every master-election-and-failover system out there has been plagued with.)

- It generalizes to multiple datacenters as easily as to multiple machines, allowing local latencies for reads AND writes, in contrast to master-based systems where you always have to hit the master (possibly cross-DC) for at least writes. (Couchbase is unusual in that it apparently forces read-from-master as well.) Cassandra has pushed this the farthest, allowing you to choose synchronous replication to local replicas and asynchronous to remote ones, for instance: http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/dml/data_consistency

Where do I start though? Which business? How do I reach out? What do I offer them for them to answer my questions?
Guilty on this one, especially since Germany is a neighboring country and I didn't even think of it. Which illustrates my point: when our borders never changed, we can have a tendency to take them for granted and not imagine that other countries are struggling to have theirs recognized.
it caches by host. this would allow you to serve multiple sites through it like:

example.com/foo

and

another.com/foo

without a cache collision.

we don't care about the host as everything is of the same entity service type.
Also it'll save you a lot of money on marketing costs.
That all depends if you can get statistical significance. The catch-22 here is that the only way to really get statistical significance without a lot of data is to have a clear winner, which would have probably jumped out as a better solution regardless of how rigorous your testing methodology is.

The worst thing you can do is run a test and jump to conclusions based upon limited data.
Good ideas, thanks. But overwhelming. Where to start?

If you read the paper the actual reasons they propose for qwerty are as bizarre and anti-ergonomic as the arm jamming and "typewriter" demo theory. Namely: putting z,c,e together to help with decoding Morse. Putting the letters i and o near 8 to help type the years 1870 and 1871 faster (early keyboards had no zero and one key), and (topically) switching a couple of other letters to avoid patents, but still vaguely following the original idea of a-m going right and then n-z going left on a piano style keyboard.

This paper completely supports the view that old decisions stick around long after they are no longer relevant even if the exact details differ from the standard version.
Maybe there's some old school Microsoft types, etc., because other than that I'm skeptical that only 8 people have made 'tens of millions', but 35 have made 'hundreds of millions or more' (or that 35 have made that at all)...
