I think it's the "game" wording that is wrong. I don't know what would suit better, but finding chess, shogi, go, xiangqi as boring would just mean you don't understand something. I was originally a chess player, but found the depth of go much more inspiring, once I "learnt the language."

When will advertisers realize shorter and more direct ads work best on the web?

When Hulu was in beta they only had 5 second ads and I still remember some of them after all of these years simply because I had no reason to direct my attention away from them. Now when Im forced to watch a 30 second ad I just change the tab and check my email or whatever.

I'm just repeating what wikipedia says was in the OPLAN, which would reflect what the pentagon thinks. I think it did plan to respond to movement south with a first strike, as you say. But NK know that too, presuming they read wikipedia.

I think in practice fighting a war is different from how we might think.

Some people say that the problem the NK army would have would be keeping its troops supplied, given the lack of petrol, trucks, and food in NK, and presumably destruction of the roads there. Along with the end of incoming food aid, leading to widespread starvation there.

I agree with you that the US would win eventually. To me, it looks like the cost would be an aweful lot of dead Koreans on both sides though.

I think this seems a little too existential. What is more important, that you classified the right nouns and verbs in your Paws and Dogs, or that your code works?

In my view OOP is all about sane interfaces between components. In your internal code however, you should feel free to let your implementation details and data structures drive the flow, and not con yourself into writing OO spaghetti, that type of code written by inexperienced types who "heard somewhere to use classes" and can only think in classes, and the abstraction serves to obfuscate rather than clarify.
Why is taking to Vegas not an allowable answer? It's how the founder of FedEx kept the company from going bankrupt. Besides any other chance of doubling your money is just as likely a gamble.
Neither. I'm a signal processing engineer & generally a good guy. And I think the digital currency ecosystem is interesting but I do think that Bitcoin's system (carrying out automated rules from benevolent leader) is kindof a farce.

But I don't even care about that so much -- the reason I have an axe to grind is because all the interest seems to be fueled by greed. So these hypocrites rail against "the systemmmm" but really all they want is a new system in which they start out with the upper hand -- which they believe they have due to early adoption, investment in mining rigs, and collective delusions of bidding wars / price will go up up.

If Bitcoin were now the same way it was back in the day when it was a nerd trying to buy a pizza because he believed in the merit of the technology, I would think that is pretty endearing. But let's all just admit it -- it's NOT. It's a platform of collective greed and anyone who can resist the urge to try to make a buck off it would probably do better to go gain some knowledge and try to accomplish something more interesting than a "futristic-anarcho" (whatever) copycat version of Wall Street.
For me, I find the Youtube has just gotten worse as time's progressed. At this point, the player's buggy, the site doesn't adjust well to different screen sizes, I have playback issues like crazy, the interface is unintelligible.

Heat is the way incandescents work. If they didn't get hot, they wouldn't make any light. Heat "degrades" them only in the sense that heating them (i.e., turning them on) eventually uses them up. The filament reaches temperatures of 2,000+ degrees C a fraction of a second after it's turned on; the type of fixture the bulb is in won't change the filament temperature much.

Filament resistance goes up because it is evaporating, heat goes up because the filament increases in resistance.

Higher overall resistance connected to the same voltage produces less current draw and therefore less heat. It's just Ohm's law.

The filament doesn't thin out uniformly, it tends to develop localized hotspots which leads to accelerated, localized evaporation. Eventually it breaks.

I have a 60W bulb I run through a dimmer that is in its 4th year.

You can make an incandescent bulb last an arbitrarily long time if you're willing to sacrifice efficiency by running the filament cooler. A dimmed-down 60W bulb may produce the light of a 5W nightlight bulb but use far more than 5W.

The Centennial Light Bulb has lasted a long time, not because it's never turned off, but because it's absolute shit as a light source. The filament stays cool and as a result its both terribly dim and terribly inefficient.

Also, isn't the phrase "What you don't know, and no one will tell you" oxymoronic? I suppose "what you don't know, and only I will tell you" doesn't have the same ring to it.

It's a cheap trick of appearing honest by using impossible hyperbole. The meaning of the statement is so obviously not equal to its literal meaning that if the writer is challenged over the honesty of it he could plausibly defend it by saying, "It feels like this fact is not being communicated sufficiently to consumers who are not familiar with LED lighting." In other words, it's a way to manufacture compelling copy without needing any facts to back it up.

The netdeck argument is probably for a different site, but I strongly believe that MTG as a tournament format benefits enormously from widely available top-performing decklists, video and text coverage, and articles on deck strategy as well game tactics with particular decks or deck archetypes.
Changed hands? There's no way of knowing if that happened. This is likely just a wallet being consolidated rather than actual purchase of goods of currency. The only thing we know is that a large number of Bitcoin moved from somewhere to somewhere and it's worth a lot.

Looking at where the funds went from there, they seem to be breaking it up into 4000BTC sections, probably onto paper wallets.
Did you get actual cash for the transaction, or some kind of goods or service? I'm having a hard time finding people who actually got CASH MONEY for a bitcoin.
You know the amount of Bitcoin, which you can multiply by the current exchange rates. The actual monetary value you'd receive by selling all at once is different, of course

>If I could pay $50/year for an ad-free YouTube experience I probably would.

When you can install adblock and get the same experience for free I'm not sure that many people would think that way. And the problem is that for most of the people that I have installed adblock for don't understand the moral implications of using it. I've tried to teach them how to deactivate it for pages they like, but they just didn't care because they didn't see the problem with having it always on. Most of the regular people around me don't understand how webpages make their money. They may say advertising, but if you question them any further all I get is blank stares.

I'm fairly sure I saw a Coinstar machine at a small casino in Vegas, and it worked fine for me (but it took a hefty commission). I'd guess the Coinstar machines at casinos are used more often than the ones in supermarkets, so they're probably a better bet. (Pun semi-intended.)

Seems like Power over Ethernet would be a pretty good standard to go with. Right now it's good for 25.5 watts at 44 volts. Wikipedia says some vendors have tweaked the standard to use more lines and get it up to 51 watts. To over-simplify, the higher the voltage the less loss there is on the wire for a given amount of energy (amps).

Added bonus you get ethernet too so any devices like LED lights, cameras, etc can be programmable without wifi/zigbee/etc.

I posted some thoughts about "little data" from a more personal angle earlier this month[1] (hn discussion [2]). The solution that the OP is hinting at might very well be something that helps normal people organize and ask questions about the data they have on hand and scattered around the Internet. It'd be cool if I could mix and mash up little applications and visualizations with my data without actually pushing that data anywhere I don't have control over, though.

Is that part of the problem though?

Yes, it is. If I'm a farmer who grows organic crops, and I get cross-pollinated from my neighbor who uses GMO seeds, I no longer qualify as organic, and no longer can sell my crops for the premium that qualifies me for.

We can debate the merits of GMO as an idea elsewhere (my belief is that without it we're guaranteeing major food supply problems down the road), but making sure that my crops are organic is not just a question of choosing to not buy from Monsanto.
I don't understand, they made a very risky bet and it paid off. Would you have considered compensating them if the value went to 0?

While I understand the tone of the comment, to think song writers/singer or movie creators or even software developers will stop creating because its harder to make money is not a reality. People will continue to create regardless, but to be compensated for it, is nice.
So, no offense to him but then you call him a douche? Even if you did mean to be offensive, what exactly makes nice people douche bags? I find it far more douchey when people make fun of people that are different from them, and when they think that an appropriate way to judge a person's character is whether or not they think the person would be cool to drink with.

Its 2013, I think by now we should all be smart enough to realize that the desire to drink alcohol doesn't really have anything to do with masculinity.

Whiny? Should everyone accept whatever site operators choose to shove at them? PBS is the wrong comparison; Google is a for-profit company.

In the cold light of capitalism, this is a game theory problem. As a site operator, what ads can I get away with before I drive away my visitors? Will additional advertising reduce the effectiveness of my existing ads, due to visitor burnout? Am I making more money in the long run with the introduction of these ads?

As a user: What content can I get from this site without wasting my time on ads? Are there technologies that let me see the content without the ads? Is this site even worth the hassle?

The capitalist marketing purist would argue that an Ideal Ad is one that suggests something to the viewer that is exactly what he or she actually wants or needs, and said Ideal Ad is so well-done that the viewer does not mind watching it.

Given that Google is the world's largest advertising company, with arguably the best data of any advertising company, how well do you think they are doing that?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. which is why we are making the change. I'm merely throwing out the other question because I find it interesting.

After years of software design, I can say with a high level of confidence that classifying the nouns and verbs properly is a prerequisite to quality OO code (from both a functional AND longevity standpoint).

If you fail to do that up-front analysis, you may end up with functional code. But, the likelihood that it is readable, maintainable, extensible, etc is much lower.

This isn't to say that all good code is OO. Only that writing good OO code requires you to define the objects andt their interactions well.

If you want to see what business models will survive the for the long-term, analyze them in terms of neutral value. If there was a hypothetical Groupon where the consumer saw $10 of value, Groupon saw $10 of value and the merchants saw $10 of value, it would still be growing.

The actual Groupon business model was a loss for merchants from day one, but they were sold on potential benefits (new customers or regular customers increasing their spend). It doesn't take long for a business owner to notice they're losing money on a deal, and so it should be no surprise that Groupon's reality quickly overcame Groupon's sales hype.

> few people will do that in practice because they don't want any risk at all in losing the money they're saving for those things.

Many people do it in practice. Stuffing dollars in your mattress is "saving dollars". Loaning money at interest who will aggregate it with other money and invest in productive assets is an indirect investment in productive assets other than dollars.
While it's true that you can't really pipe programs conveniently yet it sure supports composition with all functions as you suggest. Just wanted to note in case that was what the comment above was thinking about. Except that I pretty much agree with you, current top comment is crap.

Certainly! I can save the email and give you the short answer that I should have articulated better in my comment (apologies).

Basically when I'm browsing within a single pack, any sort of pagination seems unnecessary. I tend to agree with the common trend that pagination is just a bad user experience in general. Scrolling, even with a 'More' button is always better. Ideally, implement infinite scrolling.

Thanks for the great service!

Lighting is a horribly underappreciated aspect of modern life. "A light bulb is a lightbulb" sounds rather like "a car is a car." Placement of lighting, color temperature, thermal characteristics of a particular light, etc. should all be considered carefully. It's not such a stretch to expect consumers not to put certain bulbs in certain places. It is a stretch to expect one type of bulb to work in every place, and have the desired aesthetic.
What interest me at the moment, as someone who builds a web application without any user management or storage (i.e. purely to integrate which other storage solutions), is how to integrate with solutions like this behind the firewall.

I get asked this question probably 10-15 times a month and the rate is growing. The problem is that without there being a common solution that application vendors can share, they all seem to end up implementing something custom and that looks a complete mess.

Anyone know of any inside-firewall storage solution that implements something like this, or is the best available solution LDAP + WebDav and do the rest yourself?

> Ultimately you asked these people to invest because you thought they could help you.

I know this is accepted as Silicon Valley gospel, but it's worth rethinking the notion of investor-as-advisor.

I won't say that investors are incapable of providing worthwhile advice, but money is money and when raising it, you should be asking "Who is going to give me the most money on the best terms?" not "Who can give me advice?" Most of the time, the best advice will come from your customers, professional colleagues/peers and employees. Much of the time, that advice will be provided free of conflict at no cost.
It's becoming increasingly common with this kind of hybrid product that has both hosted and on-premises offerings. You either trust your customers or you don't. And if you want their business, you need to trust them. Sure, some will take advantage of this - but most will do the right thing.

In addition, the customers that have requirements for this kind of offering are the last who are likely to skimp on payments. If a customer wants on-premise solutions, they do not want it calling home. Period, for any reason, not ever. These tend to be more regulated environments, where product licensing is taken seriously.

I don't think tools like noscript, adblock would be nearly as popular if the content publishers hadn't gotten so greedy.

The pendulum will swing.
This goes from easy/novice up to advanced level in a short amount of time. I did some koans until I arrived at functions/9 which is:

(= 25 ( ___ (fn [n] (* n n))))

I found this one to be not so trivial, granted I'm still a novice clojure user, but I still think that it went up rather steeply here.

I think if they really want to introduce new people to ClojureScript, then the koans need a friendly help system and the ability to show the solution and have it explained to you.

It should also have a short introduction in Lisp that explains prefix notation / s-expressions. I think that would make things a lot easier.
