I thought the shell script was actually a really great way of introducing you to the subject. You can basically look at the script, make out the "hot" part, optimize that part and you're done.
Have you ever read the book 'The Origin of Wealth'. It goes to great lengths to discredit such 'rational agent', and to a non-economist like me makes a pretty convincing case. Avoiding simulations because they are not very amenable to the assumption of rational agents says more about economists than the utility of simulations in my opinion.

I think you're missing the point of dogecoin. It doesn't matter. That's the point.
This is called hidden-city ticketing, it's not new.

Most airlines forbid it in their contract of carriage. There's also no guarantee that you'll keep your stopover city—you could get rerouted through another hub and would have no recourse.
Similar to me: I have two sites blocked, Quora being one of them.

I got it for w3schools, though.
Is anyone else having trouble reading the linked article or seeing the slides? I see page number 1/58 and the first slide is visible, I press the 'next' arrows and then everything is blank - just the page numbers change. I tried in both FF/Chrome.

NutCoin: the future of crypto cash has arrived
I saved your comment for future reference because it's exactly what more online communities need. I don't understand how a community that's built on knowledge sharing can be so dismissive of research.
That's the thing - my karma is high enough that I know what not to post. Generally speaking. Every once in a while though, I get tired of pretending that I don't also have a goofy sense of humor and stuff like this slips through. Oh well.
The hash _solution_ is O(n + m) in that it requires iterating through the words read from the dictionary file (O(m)) to fill the hash and then iterating through the inputs (O(n)), each time doing an O(1) hash lookup. You can think of it as: you need to read each word from the dictionary file once and you need to check each input word once; kind of hard to go faster than that.
I've had this anecdotal experience as well. How is this legal?
The claim they don't open up to googlebots, otherwise they'd be on the wrongs side of the TOS and get banned.
+1 for actually coming back, even if not with exact links. I must say that I find it hard to get a good picture from the links in a simple Google search, and your numbers seem weird. South Africa has a population of 50+ million, how do you end up saying that there are only 2-3 million tax payers? That makes no sense, given that typically everybody pays taxes, directly or indirectly.
Mid-1990s, Pentium with 16MB RAM? A computer back then was pretty much identical to a computer today -- Windows 95 looks and feels little different from Windows XP. The hard drive would've been a ~1-1.6GB 5.25" IDE drive, FAT32 formatted, which will plug right into any motherboard that still has the connector (or an IDE->USB external enclosure, which you can pick up at Staples today for $20). The software on that drive would mostly still run in Win8 too.
Nice Bob! This is way better than your last project!
It's easy to say that the American college admissions game relies on strange and difficult to quantify criteria, especially at top schools. The more interesting aspect is the comparison to the UK and other high quality European universities. As a student at a "prestigious" American college, I find it strange how little the lone wolf mentality is encouraged. In graduate programs, the most successful students are almost always lone wolves in many ways, since leadership ability doesn't get you very far with pure science or truly original ideas.

I wonder what the impact would be if American universities used Oxford / Cambridge as a model instead of whatever they're doing now.
Dear Subscriber: You are a participant in a mass disturbance.
Funny enough, that attitude may make it more successful in the long term. History has shown many times that it's not always the 100% dead serious who make it, but those who are just, well...making it up as they go along.
That's not how VC/PE typically works. Exit capital is returned, not reinvested.
A friend of mine recently asked me "I'm looking for a job. If my only criterion (it isn't) was which companies are most likely to 10x in value in a few years, which companies would those be?"

My answer was Docker and Oculus VR.

"Quora has a lot of really reputable, valuable, and domain-specific contributors, and it's easy to identify answers from people who have credibility on a subject"

I haven't been back to Quora for a couple of years, but there seemed to be a lot of astro-turfing by people who self-appointed themselves as "credible people". I also found that it was difficult to discover interesting content by genuine experts who exist outside of the "valley" VC/entrepreneurial bubble.

>swombat3 explains why he thinks Princeton's method of reasoning by analogy is flawed. ronaldx disagrees, asking why the analogy wouldn't be applicable. I reply that, in my view, ronaldx has disagreed with a different point than the one swombat3 made. ronaldx replies in defense of Princeton's claims, citing the testability and falsifiability of the hypothesis. I reply that there is little evidence for the hypothesis, despite its testability and falsifiability.

There's not an argument in this entire paragraph. Is it meant to be a list of pointers to arguments?

Neither "X is(n't) flawed," "X is(n't) applicable," nor "X has (very little/lots of) evidence" is an argument.

An argument for falsifiability is an argument that the statement of a particular belief has content and is not just a trick of language, but can't be said to be an argument for or against that particular belief.
The big difference is that each player is already paying for bandwidth at their end. Google, Netflix, myself (PortableApps.com), we all pay for bandwidth to host and serve videos, binary downloads, etc. And then the home user is paying on their end.

But, ISPs charge their customers for 'unlimited' bandwidth, a lie, and then have ghost caps, throttling, etc. The only person being dishonest here is the ISP. And having all the major content providers on-board with calling them out on throttling will keep them from doing it since it will 1. make their customers angry/consider switching and 2. cost them quite a bit in support hours. So, they'll be forced to switch to a more honest set of advertising, billing, and bandwidth counting based on individual usage.

Granted, we'll still have to put up with their monopolies, lack of common carrier rules (so your home VOIP phone is offline for weeks and you can't do anything about it), poor customer service, etc. Realistically, we'll need wireless to come up with better plans to force them to be competitive. Living in NYC and having only a single cable company as your option (unless you want incredibly slow DSL that was down 1 week of my 1 month trial) is kind of silly at this point.
It feels like there is someone constantly pushing Gitcoins (with the "nonce" messages) so fast that by the time my miner finds a coin my old head is out of date, meaning I have to pull and start over.

Which I find alternatingly very frustrating and very hilarious.

The Internet Deciphers a Secret Code That Stumped A Family For 18 Years
I'm the author, and I definitely wasn't intending to troll - I'm just documenting the experience and sharing my takeaways, with as little judgement as possible.

Personally speaking, I'm also not a fan of dark UX patterns and such, and have found myself frustrated with their UI decisions at times, as well.
ITA software might be "neutral", but it omits certain carriers that don't supply fare rules to it, excluding many low cost carriers, for instance. As such, I can beat it without trying very hard simply by going to direct to the websites of the likes of Ryanair or AirAsia if I know they're operating on a particular route, which is a shame, because I like their interface. Or, in this instance, Southwest.

Some of the travel sites using ITA's QPX API to drive their booking engine get prices from these other airlines via direct feeds or web scraping, but as pointed out here, they can be quite selective in what they're willing or able to show

It's still ludicrously easy to trip up the flight comparison services up with edge cases like the short domestic Yangon-Mandalay route, where ITA finds nothing, most booking engines offer ridiculously expensive flights connecting in China or Bangkok, whilst Innovata Quicktrip (which you should use when you're convinced there are direct flights the big sites aren't showing you) shows multiple direct flights a day with 6 different local airlines, provided you don't mind their clumsy twentieth century booking operations.

TLDR: Use Quicktrip (which doesn't give direct prices) to check if there are budget airlines or local airlines also flying on direct routes that the big search sites might not be showing, and try these unlisted airlines' websites direct if they seem more promising.
I did! I responded to your first mail, too! :)

Just a random comment on the whole "community raised 25k"

In fact one self identifying bitcoin speculator contributed $20k of that after moving some bc>doge all to drive speculative in doge through the assured free press (and wrote about his intent on reddit).

With Yale or Harvard it makes perfect sense to emphasis leadership. Emphasizing leadership skills for STEM students at engineering schools? That makes less sense. Emphasizing leadership skills for developers at West Coast tech companies? Now we're just getting silly... Sure leadership plays a role in what I do, but I wouldn't rate it in the top 5 important skills.

As an example, to help myself get into college I was in the boy scouts and got eagle scout (that was the only reason, I hated it.) The idea there was that by teaching other kids how to use an axe without dismembering themselves, I demonstrated leadership skills that would prove valuable in computer science... Of course that is rubbish, that stuff doesn't even have anything to do with leadership, it is just going through the motions. Paying lip service to the idea of leadership because the idea of leadership, not actual leadership, is something that we are all addicted to.

I've gotten use to it though. My personal theory? Leaders overemphasis the importance of everyone being a leader. Just as tech people get behind "everyone should be a coder" initiatives, leaders get behind "everyone should be a leader" initiatives.
I'm sorry to hear it's not working for you - would you care to reach out to me on Twitter at @UserOnboard and try to troubleshoot it in realtime?
Indeed. Commercial contributions are very valuable, but it's important to take steps to reduce the inherent risk. If AcmeCorp stops paying its employees to contribute to your project, do you still have a project left? If that thought scares you, it's a good indication that you need to increase contributor diversity. Perhaps that means more volunteer contributors, or perhaps it means additional corporate contributions. But do not put all your eggs in one basket!
Can we use the exploit to actually apply this patch?

Think about it this way. I want to turn my electricity into dollars by mining crypto currencies. I mine some coins and then sell them to lock in the profit. Putting my freshly mined coins on the market increases the supply of coins available for purchase (and it should marginally drive down the price).
Bitcoin is almost always the least profitable coin to mine.

Doge currently is the 2nd most profitable to mine:

You can use whatever language you like. There's really not much special about VR from the programming point of view. The Oculus Rift is really just a display that gets recognized as an additional monitor plus a USB device for head tracking. Oculus provides a library that you can use that takes care of interfacing with the USB device and some other gimmicks.

The main difference to non-VR 3D programming work is that getting latency down is much more important, so your priorities shift a bit. The real difference is in thinking of whether you can do cool new user interface stuff.

So in that sense, your question is a bit misplaced. You need to know about 3D development in general. Once you know that, the delta of what you need on top of that is very small, and everything you need can be found on the Oculus developer site.
Google, in this case, is a blind algorithm guessing at the continuation of a line. It knows nothing of IPOs.
Google’s Knowledge Graph Now Being Used To Enhance Individual Search Results
Unrelated but anyone know when the Speech API gets into other browsers? Is Mozilla going to be hosting recognition servers?
I have to agree. There's too much of the "free, but we sell your information to advertisers" model going around these days.
Actually superuser might be better, or the one for admins.
Thanks for that clarification, I got pretty worked up thinking they were being that scummy.
3. Even when I did sign up with a throwaway account, everything about their navigation and page layout is hard. Questions and answers are jammed into a narrow sliver of content area. On a 24" 1920x1200, with a browser window occupying just half that width, it looks crap.

...

But then I was spoiled by Stack Overflow which allows me instant access to content which is well laid out and easy to comprehend and consume.

I would point out that Stack Overflow also has a fixed-size content area. It is a bit bigger (660 px vs. 485 px), but at 1920x1200, you're looking at 25% vs. 34% of the screen for the Q&A which will look rather empty. Plus the font size is actually larger on Stack Overflow so the information density is probably about the same.

I rarely go to Quora myself, but it has nothing to do with stylistic choices.
As someone who spent a lot of time in the UK/EU and is now back in the states, I'd love for someone with insight/experience in the EU/UK to explain how the economics make it possible for a system of banks to talk to each other without charging the users.

The US economics are pretty simple - banks know they can charge for it.
Startup idea:

A site that uses a bunch of VPNs in different countries to look for flights on the big search sites. Whichever is cheaper is presented as the one to buy.

It could of course be extended beyond airline travel...
While this may be true in general of "audiophile" cable brands, Blue Jeans is not the kind of company that puts out $500 oxygen-free RCA cables pre-digested by civets (or whatever). It's pretty clear from poking around their site that they do, in fact, understand HDMI pretty well. (The Civet Poop Cable Company is not likely to use language like "if the cheapest cable will do everything you ask of it, there's no picture improvement to be had in going to the best cable (this is, after all, a digital signal)" on their web site.)

I don't know which of their cables the previous poster had trouble with, but I'm pretty sure he could have returned it for a refund.

(Disclosure: I have no relationship with BJC other than being quite happy with the speaker cables I've bought from them. Which I'm sure the Monoprice fans would tell me I overpaid for anyway, but, well.)
Thanks, I was clearly out to be angry at T-Mobile for no good reason. Maybe it was the 6 fine-print items on one of their pages that set me off...
It actually got me to stop using Quora. I signed up a few years back and enjoyed the weekly digest, which was often quite good at finding questions I might want to read. One day I'm asked to select 5 topics when all I want to do is read this post and there is no "skip" button. Something that was fun has now become work. I would even prefer a "pay $5 and skip this step" button.
Be prepared to be blocked. Each search on a site like Kayak costs money, and if a bunch of searches are being done automatically it will lower the conversion rate, which meta-search sites and their partners watch closely and care deeply about.

>All this video signal butchering does beg the question: Which is the better trade off? More color range per pixel, or more pixels with color channels?

I would tend to say higher resolution is more worthwhile. I obviously don't have a way to test this directly, but my guess is that 8k at 180 fps and 2-bit, using spatial and temporal dithering, will look better than 4k at 60 fps and 12-bit, even though those two signals would contain the same amount of information.

The reason is that the dithering allows the same color depth to be presented, but the discreteness is kept well beyond the boundaries of what your eye can pick up.

Obviously there are plenty of technical reasons that this isn't exactly practical.

But it looks like all four points of the security model (including #4 that you've quoted) were retained. Luckily, Chrome is more aggressive on popups than ever, so there's less likelihood, but it's not yet bulletproof.

I agree it looks like Chrome's implementation is not matching this spec. I'll look into if we can tighten this up.
Yes, I really find this to be the issue with Quora. It's great branding about the wisdom of the crowds, thought leaders and what not. But really when all you have are a bunch of subjective questions/answers that people vote up, what else do you expect to happen except the one with most broad and popular appeal goes to the top. That's not the truth, that's a popularity contest. It's the same thing you have with the news -- reading it feels informative, until you see them horribly screw up something you know very well, and everybody laps it up mindlessly. Once you see that happen, you can't trust anything you read there.
That's not true, a camera icon is in the address bar in the popup — though it's not obvious.

Boy, I really wouldn't want to work with you. The unfortunate situation to which you're referring was the result of trying to mitigate a microtransaction attack that was happening on the blockchain. It was a rock and a hard place situation, and because the community was still relatively small and focused, the devs tried to get everyone to upgrade simultaneously. They chose to risk a fork rather than risk effectively dead-ending the blockchain with dust. There was no good solution that didn't come with risks, but it certainly wasn't a result of "idiocy" as you flippantly imply.
data-fitting to just one data set is probably not enough model testing for making a prediction about a different social networking site.

I've watched the lifecycles of a LOT of social sites, from the beginning days of BBSs. Lots of "but this one is different" sites. They have all gone thru pretty much the same lifecycle ending in stagnation & abandonment around 7 years after starting. Some of them (CompuServe, AOL, MySpace, others which were just as big and even more forgotten) took the social tech world by storm, were poised to take over the world, and garnered lots of investment because they were so darned unstoppable. Most users got bored and moved on. Like Zaphod Beeblebrox, they're dead - they just haven't stopped moving yet. ALL OF THEM.

And Facebook shows absolutely no meaningful differentiation from that pattern.

(I want to say "now get off my lawn", but many may miss the intended humor.)

Of course, this is the same phenomenon on a larger scale. Nowhere tries to be "normal". Visit the website of any college or university: it will claim to be exceptional.

But is that such a bad thing? I for one, want to be around the sort of people who push others, the organizations they belong to, and themselves. And I aspire to be such a person as well.
Interesting! You'd rather pay than even just click 5 topics arbitrarily?

That is incorrect and unfortunate that it left the wrong impression in user's minds. Orbitz did not price up hotels based on OS, they chose to change the list of options presented to users based on OS. This is no different than what we simply call "personalization". If a user found the Wynn on a Mac or a PC, they were the same exact price, all that was different was what position that hotel was in in the default sort order.
