Although I'm sure it's possible to fool their image hashing algorithm, I doubt this will. Image hashing algorithms are designed to be resistant to small changes in the image and more advanced ones can generate hashes that determi

Article is spot on about mongodb being ideal for online games. We use it as the main datastore for our latest game, and it has worked out very well for us. My main gripes with it has been key values taking up too much space and how dif

Bad comparison because squabbling in China is more like between brothers in that they are trying to gain power over the family, and not trying to break away from it. Chinese Nationalism is probably as strong now as ever, and I think the ch

I'm confused with priceonomics. They seem to be in the business of blogging now? The link to their product is a tiny thing at the bottom.

I think your reaction is mostly an emotional speculation based on your dislike of their technology. As you pointed out yourself, we do not know the financials, their adoption rate numbers or other relevant facts to make a sound judgement o

The result of this experiment would be mostly useless unless the results were stark and causation can be traced back to this policy via other methods. It doesn't control for the millions of other factors that could affect the outcome.

Sigh, I'll bite. Tired of cable news quality comments presenting very debatable opinions as fact, especially without any concrete arguments, evidence, sources or otherwise real facts. On top of that being tangential to the post. Her

You're mistaken on workers rights being a response to asymmetric information, it's a response to asymmetry in power. However, whether or not an IB worker's power position is exploitive is more arguable.

IANAL, but I doubt that threatening someone with actions that are legal is against the law. I can threaten to eat a Twinkie unless you give me one million dollars if I feel like it. Or a more relevant example is a patent troll blackmailing

So is this production ready? Excited about this, but I don't have time at the moment to dabble on things I can't use and the last comment regarding this is a post on Quora from the founder saying that it is not production ready yet. 1.0+

It's not a mental block, it's because it is plausible. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't happen. In the extreme scenario, if technology advances to the point where it does nearly everything better than humans for pr

As a mobile app developer, We've been threatened by trolls before as well. So far non of them have followed through and filed suit and the strategy of ignoring them has worked out for us. However, our lawyer helped us gauge the litigation

Yes, I agree. However, I don't think website designs have as much of a smart cow problem as say pop music, so your "DRM" is more likely to succeed its goal.

Because it makes very little business sense to do so. The upside of selling is near zero because it would not make a dent in their bottom line or their future outlook, while there are many downsides to selling, some of which you have menti

You're right that his mathematical assumptions are wrong, but I wouldn't hand wave away sound financial math reasoning if you want to make informed investment decisions.

Agreed, but you subtracted 30 years of rent from the home sale. Future rent needs to be discounted.

by anatari 14y ago
Your analysis is incorrect because having to spend 25k + inflation 30 years from now is not the same as spending it today. To calculate properly, future expenditures need to be discounted according to return minus inflation compounded over

Another thing that is annoying about it is the fuzzy text when you zoom in. They must be using web views in a non standard way because the built in HTML viewer usually re-renders text as you zoom.

Hate to be a Debbie downer, but I have a hard time seeing the economics of this working out for the publisher although I'm sure it's a great experience for the kids. Most of these apps probably won't break even so they will need to have a

Awesome work! But I have to agree with cantankerous. This is more about programming than computer science. If the premise is that a student should learn programming before computer science that's fine, but the curriculum should be labeled

Don't know anything about the Pet Rock, and you can poke fun all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that this title has significant revenue that is more likely to go up than down under Zynga in at least the medium term due to reasons

Yes, I would pay $200mm for a game that nets $250k/day or $91.25mm/year. Assuming Zynga does nothing but maintain the revenue, it will make back it's investment in a little over 2 years. How many investments opportunities are out there th

I only have limited experience with things like this, but my advice would be to not let them pressure you into anything. As a rule of thumb though, you probably won't be able negotiate a good deal unless you're willing to walk away from it.

Disagree that having a broad incentive is good enough for this case. This is an example of how hard it is to create an effective broad incentive. Since drugs can be created under the shelter of limited liability of corporations, people wi
