The best way to think of this is that there are no odds at all. All money goes into a pool and is shared evenly amongst the winners. That's it. The fewer people* that bet on the winner, the larger their share.

Talking about the odds while the betting is open is really talking about what the payout would be if the event occurred with the current pool.

*It is of course about the amount of money, not the number of people.

Today's poor almost all have numerous outfits (whether from Walmart or elsewhere). Poor people hundreds of years ago typically had one, count 'em, one garment. Maybe if they were slightly better off they'd have two (one for church and one for everyday wear, with the older one being rotated out for use as rags from time to time).

Competition also gives him this info to bring heat to their rivals in the game.

Putting aside the cost/hours of recovering the money, is this the only reason its 'untraceable'?

I understand it becomes tedious to unravel the transactions, but is it still a tractable problem? Or do these people eventually shift the money into offshore banks that refuse to co-operate with authorities? It seems such a bank would be quickly cut off from the rest of the world if it existed.
By looking the code, the script injects <plaintext> tag while being loaded. So, all the HTML followed by the script element will lose their meanings, just to be rendered as a plain text.

Due to the approach, I guess the start and end tags don't need to be <!-- and -->. It can be anything. The only reason they chose them I guess is that it relieves confusion, though I still think the insertion of the comments in the regular HTML tags looks a bit weird.
I got started with WebObjects, a Next product a couple years before Apple bought them. Yes I've written wonderfully powerful web applications in Objective-C back when the rest of the web was being built using CGI and Perl scripts.

I loved Smalltalk and I love Objective-C at a deep level. The Objective-C runtime is incredibly powerful and its method dispatch is astonishingly efficient considering what it does. It is not as fast as vtables, but it isn't as fragile either.

It might well interest you to know that WebObjects (I'm talking 1997 here) ran on HP-UX, SunOS, AIX, and one other popular Unix of the day that slips my mind and it too shipped with a lively scripting language called WebScript which was not so different from a minimal Swift today.

The thing is, once you dig into the Objective-C runtime and spend a bit of time trying to write an interpreter, you start to realize that the interpreter almost writes itself. Swift is far from the first language built atop the Objective-C runtime.

Consider FScript (http://www.fscript.org) has been around for well over a decade and does more or less the same thing except it gives you something closer to Smalltalk than Javascript and it includes some advanced matrix manipulation goodies as well.

The majority of the people squealing with glee over the introduction to Swift seem to be the sort of people I wouldn't care to work with. If a bit of syntax puts you off so much, lord help you when a truly new paradigm hits.

Swift looks to have some nice features, but it seems to be missing the low level access to the runtime that advanced developers can use like default message handlers (forwardInvocation:/doesNotUnderstand:/methodForSelector: kinds of stuff) and the ability to fiddle method dicts at runtime which can be very useful for intercepting strange errors and unexpected code paths.

So, yes, I do LOVE Objective-C. It is my second favorite language to work in after Smalltalk and to those claiming that Swift will help them move over from Android because it less verbose - lets remember Java is the most boilerplate per capability language I've seen since COBOL. I don't know what those people are talking about.
You'd still have to make it somewhat apply to both Maven and what you're comparing Maven to...Maven wouldn't "be physically strong," "just want sex" or "not do laundry." But you could say Maven, "does the heavy lifting," "screws me whenever possible" and "doesn't clean up after himself" (without my asking...have to type 'mvn clean')

Without the dual meaning, it's not really an attempted joke.
DDG is a little ways from being a full Google replacement. Apple can ill afford the backlash they saw with maps happen again. Remember your simply shifting the notion of anonymity and data from one large company (Google) to another large one (Apple). All device makers gather your data and will use it (if they aren't already) hopefully for the benefit of the users. Instilling fear isn't the solution, clarifying the use and usefulness of data is.

Not a bad idea.

I would however add a little spice to the incentive by having some kind of raffle on top of the t-shirt and sticker, just to get some more traction.

"Run a tor relay for a year, your chance to get a free free laptop!"

I understand many people would enter the raffle just for the laptop, but if they do run their TOR relay for a year to get it, what's the problem?

Of course, it might not be well perceived or even legal in some jurisdictions.

EDIT: This being the EFF, making the winning laptop a Gluglug would make so much sense it hurts. Then you could say "free free" laptop, too :) https://www.fsf.org/news/gluglug-x60-laptop-now-certified-to...

The MDN wiki states that the <plaintext> tag, along with the similar <xmp> and <listing> tags, has been deprecated since the ancient times of HTML 3.2. It also says the support for those tags can disappear suddenly in this HTML5 era.

I know the use of <plaintext> seems to be essential for the implementation, but I'm not sure that it is a reliable way. Are there any alternatives?

Keep in mind that balloons are much cheaper than planes to build and operate. Worse yet, the populated areas on earth are only a fraction of the whole surface area. Expect balloons to make dense clusters rather than evenly distributed over the sky. Needless to say, there will be more flights to more populated areas as well. Increasing the likelihood of collision to a level that the pilots will need to constantly monitor the skies will increase fatigue and cause indirect problems. The cost of all this will be felt by the aviation industry, and will be passed on to us.
Is Crossbar.io the Future of Python Web Apps?
I've wanted to write a GLES 2 map renderer for ages -- ever since I saw that the Apple Maps app on iOS uses MSAA for antialiasing (yuck!).

It's funny to see all the usual 2D suspects in the source (clipper, GLU tessellator). They used a distance-based edge shader for antialiasing, so it should look much better than MSAA.

I'm not sure why there's a bias factor of 2 in the "raster" fragment shader -- looks like it might have been added by accident. It's interesting that they use both the stencil and depth buffers for clipping -- I hope they do a write up on some of the techniques they developed!

With the original announcement came a "five sigma" or so claim. Was that misleading or not? (was it plain wrong?) I mean, I'd expect from hearing something like that that unless the underlying theory changes the hypothesis is almost certainly true. Or is the uncertainty figure given in a more limited sense?
A note on 3: It's not really a dichotomy between communication skills and content knowledge. Pedagogical content knowledge builds on content knowledge--it's about knowing the structure of knowledge--the paths different learners will take through ideas, the common misconceptions and the examples that will resolve them, the ability to infer the shape of a learner's web of ideas, and knowing your way around the content knowledge well enough to offer something just beyond what the student has considered, but which is close enough that she can make the leap and thereby add it to her web.
I think there are tons of valid reasons why the app should be shutdown. The OP mentions some of them as well. What he finds ridiculous is that of all the things the school could object to, they complained about "copyright infringement" , saying that you're displaying our data to the people who it is meant for, who are authorized to view it.

The article suggests that regulators will feel pressure to accept at least one major merger and reject at least one. Among them, a merger of #3+#4 wireless carriers (Sprint+TMobile) to form a new #3 seems less pernicious than a merger of #1+#2 cable operators (Comcast+TimeWarner) to form a new super-#1. (The ~40mil combined customers is almost 10x bigger than runner-up Cox's ~4.5mil.) My fear is that regulators could find the reverse conclusion by focusing on metrics that don't really reflect the competitiveness in each market.

The only other way I know to break the interpreter is if you force a bad character encoding of a different bit width.

I have yet to get it working as reliably across the same wide range of browsers.

As far as it disappearing; In order for that to happen one browser group will have to take the first step of intentionally breaking legacy webpages - it seems antithetical to the "render as much as possible" features arm-race nature of the browser world.

Then again, I've been wrong plenty of times before.
Speaking of justifying hobbies... I wonder how many people with cars that go faster than 75 mph (which I believe is the highest speed limit found in the US) have to justify why they need to go that fast. Cars are dangerous and Speed Kills after all.

Full disclosure: I've never owned a really fast car, but I do think they're pretty neat.
This is a way to kill someone at a distance, with no obvious trace leading to you, and using nothing but an off the shelf laptop or phone. It's significantly more dangerous than any of the other known methods of murder because of the reduced risk to the murderer.

Exactly: people like @shanley and @ashedryden make money by polarizing and then profiting from the resulting flames of their gender argument, and so vigorously resist even talking to those that they accuse and condemn. It's the type of narcissistic intolerance that is rarely seen in such pure form.

The logic here is rather straightforward: to a 'stage4' narcissist, their opinions are the functional equivalent of absolute truths, and therefore it is sacrilegious to even imply that they be 'open for debate'. So if anyone persists in challenging one of their sermons,that person is either grossly ignorant (solution => RTFM) OR is intentionally 'attacking' or 'harassing' (because there is no gray area to debate for the histrionically 'self-deified' -- it's impossible to debate across parallel 'Absolutes' -"God does not play dice";)

Heck, at this stage of ferment, she is all but accusing (the almost freakishly fair minded) Chad of misogyny :D

You can't win a gun battle with the United States government. What you can do is to be armed and force the government to kill you (and risk being killed). While Bundy shouldn't have been anyone's poster child for the 2nd amendment, when armed men rallied around him, the government backed down (and gave him his cattle back) rather ran risk a showdown. When the government faces a group of 30 citizens with AR-15's, the government has a choice to make: fight, and a lot of people die, or back down. That's the inherent value of the 2nd Amendment as a balance to government power.

Steinhardt, an early advocate/expounder of inflation, now has a major bone to pick with the theory. His opinion piece is more nuanced than attacking the BICEP result directly; his major point and criticism is directed at inflation.

Whether BICEP has resolved B-modes or not, his main point persists. Whether he's right or not is yet another separate issue, but he has compelling points to consider.

If BICEP's foreground subtraction contains an error, the situation will be resolved soon after Planck's release later this year. The already-running follow-on to BICEP2 will provide an independent check.

since we've established the data is not public, and is in fact restricted and controlled, how is it anything "mostly like" hacker news? hacker news does not store your NYtimes username and password, scrape the NYTimes site for an auth token, make a login request on your behalf to copy that article and display it, in full text stripping out the NYTimes attribution and branding, on hacker news.

what would happen if they did is a thought experiment i'll leave up to you.
It points out a pretty well established effect that repeating the same story in the news several times is internalized by people has several different instances. So when a plane crash is covered again and again, and then you ask people if plane crashes are up they will assert that they are. Similarly with child abductions and other "high impact" stories.

>The OP did not subvert anyone's revenue model.

Irrelevant. Saying "you weren't making money off of it so I decided to copy it and do so", isn't a valid argument.

>Simply aggregating data is not violating any copyright laws nor protections.

Yes it is. No high-traffic news site does this. Maybe you are confusing this with news sites that pay for the AP feed and the right to do so?

>To use your book example. If the copyright holder of a new book posted the text in full on their website with no restrictions or payment necessary, and I reposted that text, provided attribution and a method to access the original content, then I would not be in violation of any law.

Nope, you are still violating the copyright unless they explicitly give permission to repost it. You are conflating someone deciding to charge for something and someone keeping the right to prevent redistribution. They are very different things.

A copyright is automatic in the US. You have to explicitly license content with something like the creative commons license before people can safely copy things and repost them.

Thanks. Fixes a mildly annoying thing for me.
Ahh, good, yes CTE is at least a more interesting critique. However, I believe the non-concussive theory is purely a conjecture at this point. This is one of the authors of that Boston study:

"While it remains unknown what level of exposure to brain trauma is required to trigger CTE, there is no available evidence that occasional, isolated or well-managed concussions give rise to CTE," one of the study's co-authors, Dr. Robert Cantu, said in a press release.

So basically, you're just stuck with your priors on this one. As far as I am aware, CTE data doesn't provide you with any additional evidence for non-concussive effects beyond what you could have conjectured pre-CTE.

Of course, the media has breathlessly reported on how NFL players are all commiting CTE-induced suicide despite the fact that the NFL suicide rate is less than half the rate of the general population...
