alexa and compete both say the lasvegassun numbers are headed downward. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that those services can't do much better than provide order of magnitude comparisons between sites.

This article is incredibly poorly written. Apple did a good thing by investigating their suppliers' practices. Why are they being "taken to task"?

The loose quote mostly. It is essentially, "we can hide the bad reviews a bit if you pay us." Again, IANAL, but it doesn't take much to lose some coin on "unfair business practices."

I agree, but there is more to it. A 50 year old programmer in 1995 likely finished their formal education in the late sixties. What are the odds that their education was actually in a software development related field? As an industry and s

Last year I wrote a paper on the history of Apache for a grad course. Frankly, it's not very good, but I was able to track down some decent sources and old quotes from the original list. http://adhocidiocy.com/JSteverman_Apache.pdf <

I think the intractable evaluation problem is salient for many other fields as well. A machinist might know a particular design can't be built, but may not be able to quantify why. I think it's certainly possible that the universe ends befo

He keeps saying that a cash flow statement is unnecessary but then includes it in his requirements? I agree income and balance statements are useless for startups, but a cash flow analysis will tell you precisely when you won't make payroll

When I was a teen my poor sleeping was because I had to be in homeroom at 7:15. In the winter we had already left homeroom by the time the sun was up. Just insane.

I don't want to change privacy settings, I just don't want buzz. Where is the "cancel" button? Google should be smart enough to not do opt-out.

You didn't actually look at the image you posted did you. It says quite clearly that google autofollowed people. The only button that is there is an "OK". I just clicked on buzz for the first time and I got this: http://imgur.com/ji5lx Th

I live in a college town. Some census tracts get sub 40% response rates. At least 5k students in one college town not counted or counted in the wrong district. There are plenty of reasons to doubt census data.

He might have lent $20 million 12 times to get a total of $240m. 40% apr on 20m is 8m. 5% of the deals go bad which probably eats up a lot of the interest. And who knows what he pays himself and employees.

All objects have the same acceleration (g) but not the same gravitational force. Terminal velocity is reached when Fdrag = Fgravity. Remember F=ma, so Fgravity is (mass * gravitational acceleration).

Anyone can sue you at any time for any reason. Don't worry about this. If a take down request doesn't come from a lawyer ignore it, and get back to work.

The index is mostly useless, just a collection of random quantifiers averaged together with little apparent thought put into variable selection, weighting or statistical methods. It is useful as a collection of data sources though.
