That's one possible explanation. The other explanation is that investment firm XYZ is wrong when they say that a particular asset is undervalued.

Exactly. In most cases, pagination isn't about performance at all, just page views.

Which is what confuses me. How can there be a consensus that something is undervalued over a period of time ... wouldn't the markets just correct the price quickly?

Interface is very nice. Well done. The main challenge when doing this is the quality of the data, and that's where you still seem to have some issues. It's a hard problem though.

You do what statisticians do ... take a small sample and estimate. Spend 20 hours each doing 10 different things, and then pick 2-3 of them to spend 200 hours doing. Then pick the one. While it may take 10,000 hours to be truly awesome, y

In short, practice is necessary but not sufficient for awesomeness. In particular, this implies: "If you have not practiced, then you are not awesome." So to be awesome at X, you need: 1) some natural talent for X, varies based on the fiel

Loving what you do is necessary, but not sufficient. What you do should be at the intersection of what you love and what you're good at.

I run Windows & Ubuntu, and I would shudder at the thought of having to ship my laptop in. That's a lot of time to be without my computer. I've honestly never encountered a problem that required the manufacturer's support. More than a

Maybe, but that's besides the point. Seems like the weekend was worth it for the lessons learned alone, regardless of actual failure or success.

Another equally important thing is choosing your battles: you have to not only work hard, but work hard at the right things . I could practice basketball for 10,000 hours, but there's no way I could do it professionally. You have to figu

Pretty cool. The ad was all about Loopt and they didn't even have to pay for it!

Next step: use some simple data mining to recommend other movies I might like, and link to a site where I can watch/buy.

There was an article on here a while back with a great description of the CTO role: "The CTO's primary job is to make sure the company's technology strategy serves its business strategy"

I would argue that it's not Apple's role to weed out subpar developers. It's the market's role to do that.

You're right, being good at arithmetic isn't a substitute for training in axiomatic mathematics (for someone who is interested in math). Programs like this are about making sure everyone can make change without a calculator & and do ba

Being a Putnam winner doesn't automatically mean you're productive, just that you're damn smart ;-)

No, that's when the retrospective "This is how [Obama|McCain] won" articles start about who was best organized, who used technology best, etc :)

It's $180 to apply. Even beyond the large amount of money, the fact that they're asking for money from applicants (read: potential award recipients) undermines the credibility/prestige of the award.

That's not crazy. It has always been very safe to use a credit card, because if some fraudster uses your credit card to pay for something, you're not liable . With cash, checks or a debit card, your money is already gone . With a credi
