I like the idea of airport size a lot. You could even generate that by hand with a list of the top 100 airports or something.

I like this; I think your search algorithm for airports could use a little improvement. It looks like you may be prioritizing airport name matches over code matches: "SFO" puts San Francisco International Airport at the bottom.

Nope. They're operating on trust.

That was exactly what caught my eye about this piece -- it's really informative seeing how a completely different industry addresses issues, even when using similar data-driven techniques.

Asheron's Call is going f2p and maintenance mode in a month or two, btw. Still sort of cranking along. Go Turbine!

I don't think "Netflix feels cheated" is necessarily accurate. It's entirely plausible that Netflix's PR stance is not aligned with the internal understanding of appropriate pricing.

FWIW, this is mostly scenario design and writing contributions. Which are of course also important.

I got a refund on one failed project ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/38482230/worldbreakers-... ), and as far as I know all the backers got refunds.

Nah. Ed Nash had the art, he had USPCC print the proofs; the only remaining thing he needed to do was give USPCC money. He didn't. His backer tiers were similar to other card deck backer tiers, so it's not like he didn't get

Sure, but then you have the false positive problem that plagues the no-fly list or any other string based name matching system. It'd work for Judah Sher since that's a fairly uncommon name (his Kickstarter is in the top ten result

I don't know how they'd track it when it's not the same account. I pledged to the Kikori Kickstarter (which, btw, means I've got some bias in this although I wasn't up for any rewards) so I knew who the guy was, and

Yes, I do, because I'm from New England so I don't have to imagine those things. I've lived in New Hampshire: a conservative state within an hour drive of Boston with no personal income tax and housing that's way more af

It's for a more strong separation between rich and poor California. This plan would create the nation's poorest state by per capita income (Central California), and I think Jefferson would also be in the bottom 10. http:/&#x

Don't use a roller bag -- get one of the many soft-sided bags sized to fit carry-on spaces. Your odds get much, much better.

No, argh. Bar charts comparing numbers measuring two different things. Why would you compare total Oscar nominations in all categories with Best Actor/Actress/Supporting/Directing noms? And why aren't the revenue charts

Oddly enough, every bad engineer I've ever worked with has made a big deal of how good their code is, but yet their code has the effect of causing flaws in the product. The existence of people who are bad at their job does not mean tha

AV made a substantial unforced error at exactly the wrong time which resulted in a huge drop in search quality. It wasn't as much a matter of better algorithms as one might think. There's also a pretty big difference in scale. The

I ran the numbers based on voting percentages from the 2012 presidential election. I also added a rough guess at expected House members; hard to guess the breakdown given gerrymandering. Anyhow, yeah, this marginally tosses some electoral v

People have been doing that for a while -- it's very common to put a 1 pixel by 1 pixel image in an email as a tracking bug.
