From my experience doing reviews and having my code reviewed the most important thing is to understand: - What the intention of change is (what is this trying to achieve) - What is the code actually doing There are three levels of

If the hash is stored with an account, then an attacker attacks each account by performing the hash on each potential password (dictonary, exhaustive search, etc) and checking to see if it is equal to the stored one. If the hash is stored i

I'm certainly not trying to say that every example is like this, but I also don't think it's fair to say that sellers can never consider fixed costs and that imperfect information makes the reasoning impossible. Another inter

Describe one I've heard examples where there are fixed costs for the producer/seller. Suppose to produce something it costs $1000 plus $1 per unit. Suppose there is a buyer A that values it at $800 and 500 buyers (B) that valu

Sorry if I've used the wrong term. I'm picking them from intuition, but I haven't studied the field. If the proper term is surplus, just use that instead. The question of how to divide that surplus is very interesting and e

This analysis only works when all buyers get the same price. There are cases where more value is obtained by having each buyer get a different price.

by ddlatham 12y ago
Suppose the seller produces a good at a cost of $10, buyer A values the good at $13, and buyer B values the good at $16. That means that selling to both can add $9 worth of value. Who should capture that new $9 of value? How should it be

Absolutely, but that's true of most information as well. For example, the information in the article is relative to the context of understanding our language and the body of assumed knowledge and references of a reader of the New York

Oops, thanks for the bits to bytes correction. It is simply incredible to me that it could be so small (in an information sense). This article (gzipped) is 22KB, more than 4 times as much information.

A sample of the Ebola now raging in West Africa has, by recent count, 18,959 letters of code in its genome; this is a small genome, by the measure of living things. Does this mean mean Ebola is essentially about 38 kilobytes?

For a good answer, you need to provide a lot more detail in the requirements: - What do the writes look like? If they are coming in a stream how many writes per second do you need to support? If they are a bulk load how large and frequent

In some uses of the CRON format there is also a seconds field at the beginning of the pattern. In that case, the CRON expression is a string comprising 6 or 7 fields. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#Format

It would be great to also list the next few datetimes that this would occur on as examples. It would also be great to support the seconds field.

You're in the wrong ballback here and off by a factor of 1000 - it would be $100B/yr for $0.05 per session. Of course, $0.05 per session for mobile analytics is not reasonable to begin with.
