It was more or less a thought experiment on whether it would be possible to sell negative chickens.

Yeah, selling chickens in the morning promising afternoon delivery and then buying up all the surplus chickens after lunch at the reduced price.

For extra credit, a forth chicken trader came to the market that day with no chickens and came home with $90 in profits. How did he do it?

Think of whole chickens. The second guy sold a+6 chickens after lunch for the price of a chickens before lunch. Likewise #3 sold b+10 for the price of b. Since the price difference is constant, the common denominator is c+2 chickens for t

I'm sorry, but when you see the huge drop from "none" to "less than daily" in men you know there has to be something else going on there that only happens to be correlated with alcohol consumption.

The strength of dandelions is in their tap roots. One theory is that dandelions do best in poor, hard soil that other plants have a hard time taking root in. Let the dandelions grow and they will breakup compacted soil and you will eventu

In the time I spend writing e-mails for one turn in an on-line game I probably could play most of a face-to-face game.

When you tell your neighbors that it is your first time, they will gut you ever so quickly. New players are usually just too unpredictable and unreliable to trust. Best you can hope for is to promise to be someone's slave and do exac

But if you don't like the food he might get a smaller tip and the chef is not listening to his recommendation. If the waiter mentions the scallops without you asking he is probably being told to push them. Then if you ask for his rec

If you are hiring math PhD's I would think most of them would find the question almost insulting, or at least assume that you had tougher questions to throw at them once they spit that one out.

That's the one I thought of once I wondered how hard it could be. I was more amused by the idea of the question appearing in Businessweek and wondering how many of their readers attempted to answer it versus the average HN reader.

"For any prime number larger than 3, prove that p^2-1 is always divisible by 24." That seems like an easy interview question.

This seems buggy to me, but I'm not familiar with the algorithm. In my test case, neither roommate agreed to pay more than $562.50 for room 1, but the result was that roommate A had to pay $578.13 so it seems kind of arbitrary. Edit:

I have always felt that the 31-30-31-30-31 pattern from March through July, Repeating August through December, and then starting again in January was significant. I once wrote an extremely short assembly language routine (PDP-11 I think) f

Here is a longer list: LLVM assumes a register-based target LLVM assumes that pointers are integers and it can only vectorize counting loops whereas the Mill does while-loops too.

Ivan has said the problem is that the LLVM treats all pointers as integers.

The compiler makes the first branch prediction table. (It's actually smaller than a branch prediction table, because it only needs one exit point for each entry point.) The table can be updated (in memory) during execution if needed.

Offhand, I would say maybe one difference is that your model is trying to predict where the belt will be in the future while the Mill is looking backwards to find where the belt was in the past. Another issue is that you would have to proce

If he got 32768, that would seem to be the highest unless you could get the following 16 squares which would collapse to 65536: 2, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768 You could theoretically beat that if

Probably more accurate to say the company was named after the RSA algorithm that was named after its inventors.
