As an FYI, I've been interested in a similar approach. So far bioinformatics techniques seem to be the best fit. You may want to take a look at libraries that provide BLAST or Clustal/MSA Analysis capabilities, then tinker a bit.

Nit: CLTV/CLV/LTV calculations ignore acquisition costs, and are generally used to determine bounds for acquisition costs/investments - They are, however, essentially calculated as the NPV of the customer post-acquisition, wh

Sure it is. You move from the person moving the hay to the person designing the hay moving systems. This would be a perfectly cogent career story for any engineer working in agriculture, and I know plenty of people who have worked in higher

Has anyone here even worked a minimum wage job?? A few dollars an hour above the baseline isn't enough to compensate for the long term health and career advancement penalties you'll be taking. These are terminal career positions;

I believe you may have some fatal unstated assumptions in there. The co-op concept doesn't require equal distribution of proceeds to participants. Nor does it require that the net distribution of proceeds equal the total value per user

Those involved in technology are often confronted with brutally kafkaesque situations wherein the human and the machine are starkly opposed. Fighting against the machine is often demoralizing, depressing, and dehumanizing - but not always.

The notion that "Google hardly even had lobbyists back during the SOPA blackhout" is incorrect, at least in spirit. Google may have had less 'middle market' lobbying going on, but it is very well known that Eric Schmidt&

Lets be honest here. Wikipedia isn't going to be funding the expansion of internet networks on the basis that it can fund priority zero rating. It will be American or Chinese consumer facing companies with massive bankrolls and busines

The Keith Group, responsible for the article, are an academic group advocating the use of solar geoengineering (aka, putting aerosols and solar shades up to stop global warming, rather than focus on carbon sequestration). This weak attempt

I believe every lawyer has seen the gutting of the newly called associate class - we all know what automation is doing. While databaseing case facts, contracts, documents, laws, jurisprudence, etc. has escalated in recent years, fundamental

I'm not sure why people are praising a kickback that was documented in a set of contracts as clever - The fact that you've read about it means that it was done poorly. All that's left is an illegal and unethical transaction d

Plenty of other jurisdictions have similar laws. Adverse possession is a common law legal doctrine designed to prevent the non-use of resources by an absent owner.

Thank you for the link. This is a fantastic lecture that presents a very accessible synthesis of geologic and atmospheric science. Starts off a bit slow, but I suggest sticking with it. It addresses a number of the arguments presented in th

Taleb is saying that the surgeon being a surgeon itself is the measure of his quality in the same manner that Lindy prescribes that age is a marker for stability. The fact that he continues to be a surgeon provides you with information abou

It sounds worse when you consider the potential for treble damages due to having knowledge of the infringement. Uber's negotiating position is doubly weakened by the fact that they are dealing with a reputation crisis at the same time

It is worth noting that while social media represents a significant threat to ordinary travelers, the potential for significant harm through indirect leaks exists through retained professionals as well. In fact, this situation might even be

Certainly! That's a fair criticism. I just wanted to point out that the statement that there is 'little or no evidence' is not accurate. Many rounds of electability analysis were performed.

A number of comparative studies were performed during the primaries regarding the electibility of various candidates against their counterparts on the other side. Sanders performed very well against Trump on those metrics. There are a numbe

The primary criticism of media from the Sanders camp was a lack of coverage. Please revisit the Shorenstein Center study on this point. The numbers bear this out, and you're welcome to do further homework on the issue, as well as the i

I believe your points were already well addressed, but lets take another stab at this. A number of studies have indicated that media displayed substantial bias during the primaries. That bias was directly in line with Clinton's campaig

If you've performed investigatory work before, you'd know that having a specific incident memorialized in text is often only the visible iceberg of non-compliance. Most agents that are skirting the rules have some notion that they

I doubt you have ill intentions in mind. The idea that one's personal conception of 'fair' and 'just' is sufficient to espouse how the justice system should work is common, but often misleading, as it is in this cas

With respect, this advice is tremendously dangerous. The existence of a helpful theory of the case does not provide you with the protections you seem to believe it does.

There is a lot of legal misinformation in this thread, as is common on HN, both on the substance and practice-in-fact. For readers in a similar contractual pickle, take things read here with a grain of salt. Most assume very specific things
