You're really, really overthinking this. How much does it cost to assign a word to $SEO_PHRASE? Nothing. How much money magically flies out of their bank account whem they pick up the phone to talk to a customer? Nothing. However, if t

Way smaller scale but back in 2011 I heard about bitcoins and crunched some numbers. I realized that at the current price (~$16), I was able to make profit mining them on my desktop since it would only cost about ~$12 in electricty per coin

Currently with more market cap than Marathon Oil which hasn't posted a single quarter with less $250M in income since 2008. Totally makes sense....... right?

Fantastic tool. It pops up constantly on StackOverflow and I've found it incredibly useful for interviews. I noticed recently that the Execution Plan was added which just opens more avenues for teaching & interviewing.

It's admittedly hard to follow the writing style, but it's mentioned many times that these are read only queries. I agree it's a little misleading, but at the same time if you're really in a readonly DW type environment

I think you have valuable insight here and you've got some helpful anecdotal evidence, but the whole dollar sign before the ticker thing made me immediately think of the "M$" people. I'm assuming you're giving the t

I really hate these comparisons. What is the Model S trying to be? A luxury car? A sports car? A trip vehicle? Every article I read compares the Model S to some abhorrently expensive vehicle that does some specific thing poorly in compariso

While we're doling out "Did you read the article" comments, the article also mentions that HBO is in a league of their own when it comes to distribution. They have their own streaming network (HBO GO) and new espidoes are rel

That's a fair view. My view is that I'm sure the garbage gets emptied, and you're left a dirty bin in the fridge. Maybe it's not the cleaniest thing to do. To me having this guy complain about the (in my opinion) small t

I feel the same way. I looked at the review that was posted and I didn't see anything that was really that bad about the pizza place. He kind of blew up a few things, so I can see why the owner would be upset. Of course the owner pro

I (unfortunately) think you'll find that this was due to it being in beta. Hopefully I'm wrong and the community stays relatively decent, but I'm not confident in it yet.

It depends. I have a lot of fun toying with the market and writing apps to leverage APIs to make me money in game. If I'm station trading (Which I have been a lot- this is similar to playing the stock market in that you sit in one place and

As someone who starting in January, I would disagree with this. The most HN relevant things that are awesome about EVE are how open the devs are with data. The developers have released their databases (Items, ships, stations, etc) which I h

You're taking this way too seriously. Think of it as someone tinkering with a specific algorithm who happens to overlay it ontop of NES games to show that it's working. It's a cool project. If this is nothing compared to the things you've d

To be even more pessimistic you could point out: 1. Read Committed is not that restrictive to be honest. If you're short on memory it can be an issue but even in a high frequency system it should only lock at the row level. Beyond that, why

I agree with you, but I think the main sentiment is that after just 6 weeks you can't come to any conclusions. For example smoking is probably one of the worst things you can do for your health long term. I can smoke two packs a day and hav

Looking at the value of AAPL we can see that this is not the case. For us, sure. I don't have time to get into the details of AAPL and why I may or may not want to buy them. I honestly don't have any idea if it's a good buy. However, it's 6

PS3 was $500 for the lower version, $600 was for the bigger HD. It also didn't sell well. PS3 didn't start to pick up in sales until the price started to drop, and at the time of release PS3 was incredibly powerful. I can't imagine someone

A little bit of a side story about something that really opened my eyes last week. I ordered a package that was shipping through UPS and when I called I was dismayed that there wasn't a way to enter my tracking number (It was 15ish alpha-nu

My point was, it's all relative. Even poor people spend money on non-necessities. I watched a documentary on how being able to afford a Coke is a sign of status in many third world countries. They obviously don't need Coke, but having it

I buy plenty of things to make me happy. I don't need the internet. Either do you. I also don't need to eat anything other than bean tortillas, but I will. I could probably get through my life wiping with single ply, but I'd rather have

As others have said, this is probably easily solved by calling and just explaining the problem. It was mentioned multiple times in the article that this case was a fringe scenario (he had old software, first gen, etc). It doesn't even sound

He'll probably say something along the line of "In '97 Amazon had market cap of $291M, in '02 it was 3.5B, in '07 it was $20B and today it's $100B. I don't know... seems to be working."

I quite enjoy no longer having to sit in a car for 2 hours a day. That's 40 hours a week I've gained back. Excuse the mostly pointless post, but how many days are in your week? :)
