It sounds like you might not be familiar with the author Jason referred to right before his critique of the current focus on size: Ricardo Semler. In his books he develops a very humanistic look at the role of businesses in our lives. As en

This is unusually straw-mannish of you pg. From the article: "What matters is: Are you profitable? Are you building something great? Are you taking care of your people? Are you treating your customers well?" All of those questions can be an

Oh, I see. People just randomly leave. Of course! No need to look further, nothing that could have been done. That's a big load off my mind. Thanks for pointing this out :)

Sorry about that. I got too caught up in showing that there was in fact an optimal strategy, and there were no hangman paradoxes. In response to (2), that was done in the GGP -- you are selecting the question that for all words gives you th

I buy that information gain is the same as the optimal strategy, so long as you are taking into account your opponent's optimal strategy with a weighted probability distribution. The unexpected hanging paradox is a great link, thanks :) awe

Interesting. Thanks for your comment here and the one above. Although I firmly believe that hangman is a game, and hence the assumptions of game theory are in full effect, I had not considered the information theory take on things :) Since

This is a good insight. To formalize it: each question segments the words into 2^max_word_length groups of various sizes, and we seek to minimize the worst case number of questions still needed, regardless of which answer we get back. Which

What an odd sentiment. There's nothing illegal about looking that up, or knowing how people do it. Honestly, I don't think I've ever met a good chemist that hasn't looked it up -- the kind of ingenuity in synthesis that is born from not h

Trolls don't generally write enough for these approaches to work. From the article, we have a troll writing "Rest in piss" and "Rest in piss, you n *r". I'm pretty sure those won't personally identify anyone.
