   That's the most awful suggestion I've ever heard. You want a test to introduce MORE randomness just to please 1 group of people on a test that is supposed to measure your math ability including the ability to understand their simp

   I just showed you it wasn't an arbitrary choice and that it has a mathematical basis. Someone who has the ability to eliminate at least 1 choice understands the question better than someone who doesn't know what the question is as

   The penalty is designed so that you will not gain more points than you deserve if you guess and had no idea which answers were wrong. If there are 5 choices and you randomly guess, you have 4/5 chances to get -1/4 and 1/5 cha

   I don't see what's wrong with the guessing mechanism. If you cannot eliminate any answers, then your average expected score gain will be the same as not answering. If you can eliminate choices, then your average expected score gai

   And just how do you prove each user is tied to 1 person as opposed to one elite running a million copies? You can't.

   You should know that control over bitcoin is given to those with more than 50% of the total hashing power and this is not really equivalent to 50% of the users.

   Has anyone benchmarked the infinite storage? Unlimited transfer seems too good to be true.

   Kimsufi seems to be continually out of stock for the past year if you haven't noticed.

   I don't understand how people could say bitcoin is instant. It makes me think they've never actually tried buying anything with bitcoin. All the bitcoin stores/processors I have used require 3 or more "confirmations&quot

    Everything you've suggested requires all networks to cooperate/spend extra time and money, or that no one makes an exploitable protocol in the future (as likely as humans never making mistakes). If you can already get all networks

    20ms is not fast enough for requests served from memory. Many routing implementations are awful, comparing the URL to every single entry instead of using a trie can add up.

    I didn't downvote you but I can see why they did. The way you act is similar to someone running a contest to disprove Turing's proof on the halting problem. If your bandwidth is being filled from the other end, it doesn't mat

    You aren't going to make ddos attacks go away by offering prizes for a miracle software solution. It amazes me that there are so many programmers here who don't understand this basic principal. I think the only way we can get peop

    That money comes out of the company which came out of other people. It doesn't come from thin air. I know you can create "value" when currency changes hands, but we're talking about beating the average returns. And for s

    I don't understand why people think everyone has access to the same amount of information and that the efficient market hypothesis holds outside an academic setting. In the real world insider trading is everywhere, and people pay big b

    I have thought about this myself, but I thought that elongation being permanent or difficult to reverse was intuitive. If you stretch a piece of a plastic it stays that way. I believe the prevailing theory is when you focus near, your lense

    I hope this leads to an actual cure for myopia instead of burning off your cornea to compensate.

    Seems like this could be summarized into 1 sentence. Think of ideas, prioritize them, and test them. This is too broad to be considered growth hacking. Real growth hacks are things like AirBnB spamming Craigslist, Reddit creating the illusi

    Then how could you possibly think I have "shifted the goalposts there from "has value" to "value for the economy as a whole""?

    So you are saying that drcode means cryptocurrency has value as a ponzi scheme?

    I was using Go recently and I ran into some simplicity issues. It is not straightforward to create a map of net.IPs or manipulate netmasks. You will have to copy to and from a separate array/integer.

    A ponzi scheme has a net value of 0 or less at any point in time. Just because some people can get out more than they put in doesn't mean a ponzi scheme has created any value for the economy as a whole.

    Just because something is bought for money doesn't mean it actually has value. Ask anyone that has been in a ponzi scheme or stocks that went to 0.

    Is there a good solution to resolving name squatting for web apps? It seems like the system is broken if someone has to do this.

    For IT, I find that most of the useful answers I get nowadays are from Nixcraft and DigitalOcean. Not to say that there aren't a few useful answers at ServerFault/StackOverflow, but the moderation and design has made it hostile to

    Why wouldn't I want that? If I am copying and pasting code from a website, it usually goes to my editor and I don't want to have to delete the line numbers from it.
