It depends what you think the goal is. I expect Google's goal with searching is to get you to the source data. What is the point in going to an aggregator for a query? Isn't that what google is in a nutshell? I'm not advancing a positio

This used to be impossible for me too. Even on adderall this would have been fairly challenging at times. Recently however my stress level was getting so bad that I started looking for ways to remain calm, even under extreme pressure. Lo

What basis are you using for saying this is StatArb? Typically that involve hundreds or thousands of equities where you can use the laws of large numbers to your advantage. Buying one item that is below the average price of something and

Properly speaking, this is not arbitrage. There are two criteria for arbitrage, it has to be riskless and self-financing. Looking at an item and saying, I should be able to sell that for more is not an arbitrage. If you were able to loca

Wow - that was a fast response. I updated my comment, I looked at the wrong account. Sorry for the confusion, and I appreciate the rapid response.

When I looked at my account it only shows 100,000 data points now. It was 500,000 prior to this "upgrade". update, my mistake, I was looking at the wrong account. I also have 600k now.

There are two categories mentioned. Josh Groban and Mozart are based on some level of "skill" where Strongest Man and Tour de france have a physiological or genetic component. That may or may not be present within singing. As mentioned i

I'm sure most of the people hanging out on HN have had experience with the word "computer genius". It's one of those terms I love to hate. People who make that assessment typically have no skill in the area so really have no basis for com

How do we know if we were in the 500k group? When I purchased it last night it was very clearly still labeled as 500k. This was just before 8 pm PST.

Summarizing the article: "Genius is just hard work? Prove it, you have 10 years to produce genius level work. Any takers?" On this subject, the best book I've read is talent is overrated. They discuss this subject in depth and provide a

That's actually not true. There are two ways to look at economic production in SC2. You can spend your time and money producing items that will do damage (e.g. units), or you can spend money on things that will increase your production rat

The reality is that each minute the phishing site remains up, another account may get its information stolen. Imagine if you are the person that had your bank account information stolen and drained during the "grace period" for the company

I cringed when I saw this link, because I was a regular on comp.lang.python at the time. I remember very clearly this discussion and the ensuing flame war. This was when it dawned on me that these types of discussions live forever on th

I am attending the University of Utah Executive MBA. Based on student feedback, the incoming class will all receive a laptop and an iPad with their readings and e-books pre-loaded on them. I already have my own iPad, and that has been my

I don't have those side effects, so Adderall my just not be a good fit for you. Have you tried something else? What did your doctor say?

I wish you the best of luck. I really hope it works well for you, it has been such a positive experience for me that I really have a hard time explaining it without sounding like a "fanboi".

My regular doctor prescribed it - he's a general practitioner. It is quite expensive if you don't have insurance. It's definitely something you'd want to talk to your doctor about, and they will monitor you closely when you go on it. If i

My experience was pretty similar. Except as mentioned in one of my other responses I had a pretty strong personality change for the first week - probably similar to the robot idea. It went away pretty quickly though. I honestly think I w

When I started taking it, there was a pronounced impact on things like my personality and creativity. I think that was mostly from the drug effect. I was super focused and pretty euphoric for about a week. There was some residual euphori

I used to use techniques like this to maintain my focus. Let me toss something out though that might be a bit controversial. Perhaps having to do this is a sign of ADHD. For me it was. There are many signs and symptoms, and unfortunatel

User satisfaction includes all of the relevant issues for a person, and in this test they were testing reading, so eye strain would matter to people. People absolutely buy the iPad to read books. It may not be the only thing they do with it

Unfortunately that's not necessarily true. A normal distribution is just vastly different than an exponential distribution. Using the central limit theorem allows you to expect the mean to be normally distributed around your samples, but

The problem with this approach is that it doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the market for your product. It only tells you whether or not you understand how to market or sell the product effectively over the web. Your first atte
