- iamdave 18y agoIn this up and down economy I’m outsourcing my wardrobe (namely shirts) to corporate america and you! Whoring out. Awesome.

- bprater 18y agoQuick, hackers: what the algorithm for the maximum amount of money he could earn in 365 days?
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agoquick, person who doesn't read articles at all where it states that amount a few times: 66,795
- snprbob86 18y agoHe was asking for the _algorithm_ not the solution. The constant time approximation is (count^2) / 2 365 * 365 / 2 = 66,612.5 I'm sure there is a constant time exact solution as well :-)
- jd 18y agox = 365; ((x + 1) * x) / 2 # 66795 For x > 2 and odd.
- eru 18y agoIn this case the solution is also the algorithm in a technical sense, because algorithms solve classes of problems and we can just define the class to consinst of this sole instance. Then 66795 is the algorithm that works for the whole (singleton) class of instances.
- gaius 18y ago>>> (sum(xrange(1,366))) 66795
- sobriquet 18y ago"The "Wear your T-shirt" craze is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" ideas that's taking off faster than a sweatshirt in the summertime." barf
- bemmu 18y agoI did think of it, but deemed myself not hot enough to pull it off. There's also http://www.girlinyourshirt.com http://www.girlinyourshirt.com
- iamdave 18y agoSo I'm kind of wondering, does he plan on doing anything with this money? He quotes a bad economy as the reason for doing this, pocketing it after making such a statement would be a rather dick move.
- helveticaman 18y agoThere's no business in doing this more than once, but you could definitely have a squad of gorgeous young people wear the shirts as a campaign effort in Palo Alto or something.
