Isn't that sort of a given, though? If two people are otherwise equal, and one is better at something that will contribute even the smallest gain to your business, why wouldn't you choose him? There can be no other criteria, as they are oth

Ya that's the problem. Here's what I originally intended to write, but couldn't think of how to do cons in haskell so I used list addition. With cons (:), you can't rewrite it with the arguments swapped, so no simple mechanical transform wi

I believe this has some issues if the operation isn't commutative. For example: blah 0 = [] blah n = (++) [n] (blah ((-) n 1)) -- blah 5 -> [5,4,3,2,1] blah2 0 acc = acc blah2 n acc = blah2 ((-) n 1) ((++) [n] acc) -- blah2 5 [] ->

No problem. The air travel sector is quite complex, so I understand the confusion. I interned at ITA for a summer a few years ago, so I have a little first hand experience with it.

Not that I'm aware of. Anyway, my question (not directed to you, but to everyone) is why does everyone bring it up as this great point to his credit, when it was never released or used?

Gotcha. I'm not a mathematician, but your comment made me feel like I'm running out of time to make a difference, and I'm only 24. It also gave me a bit of confidence that I can. Anyway, better get to it!

Erdos took amphetamines (speed, Adderall, etc), not methamphetamines. They are related drugs, but meth is much stronger and dangerous.

As a general rule, "gut feel" doesn't predict the outcome of legal battles all that well.

Is this used by anyone, anywhere?

Enough to suck every last morsel of humor and joy out of the concept, and then a few more.

My buddy actually had an interview just like that at a California company (much smaller than Google) and he did get paid.

Good point, but on the other hand, if you're already in control of yourself, how can you gain more control?

Many of those people read this site, however.

"Can something of this magnitude even ever be completely cleaned up?" Likely no. Certainly improvements can and will be made, but there will be irreversible damage, at least on a human timescale.

It probably isn't, however. Alexa, for example, relies at least partly on the Alexa toolbar to get their figures. I'll venture a guess that most people with the Alexa toolbar installed aren't terribly web savvy, while reddit's audience, for

Ya, I read that as well. But even if they changed their mind (which is extremely unlikely. Google always seems willing to compete), it wouldn't be the end of all those sites, though it would be a major setback.

Orbitz isn't part of ITA. They use ITA, as does Bing and several others, but they aren't part of them. They could potentially switch to SABRE or something else, if Google actually went so far as to pull the rug out from under them.

Agreed. Superior depends on what metric you're measuring by, and the public chose the one most important to them. It is over-simplified about Atkins, however. I'm not going to argue that Atkins is necessarily the best way to eat, but it was

In this day and age, primarily looking good (to a point). But being strong helps maintain better posture, and helps to prevent RSI and other injuries.

Good point. If I may wager a guess on why _why left, it's because of the worship-like behavior that people are still directing at him.

He had his Internet removed at 12 due to a nasty staph infection.

Agreed. That little aside nearly ruined the article for me, as I mentioned in a comment of my own.

This almost made me stop reading: "We see such effects in fields ranging from consumer fads (think Atkins—everyone knows a meat-and-cheese diet isn’t healthy for you!), science (like global warming), and technology (VHS beat BETA in the vid

Can you provide more info on burn-out? What it's like at its worst?

Makes sense. I should have considered that possibility, but being featured in articles is something I haven't had the chance to experience yet ;)

I realize most people aren't terribly fit, but in what sense do you think physical strength is underappreciated? I think most people are well aware of the benefits, they just don't care enough to bother.
