Eventually it will become illigal to have randomly generated data stored somewhere.

And don't forget random number generators. They are just evil sometimes.

Nice methaphor. 3.75 million is meaningless. I'd rather compare the 3% eaten by sharks to 0.0...1?% slipped and died on the bridge. And I'd rather trust these statistics than the architects (assuming I can trust the ones who colle

I'm someone with 15+ facebook accounts and who knows how many stackoverflow accounts. I don't really care. And if I try to comment and don't have the 15 points then I just leave.

It should be a game. Try to hit the center. 2 points for 45%-55%, 1 point for 35%-65%. And the last question should be: Do you think your score will be better than the average?

It depends. x = {} + 12; x has the value "[object Object]12". So, it' not always 12 :P

No. Intention does matter. If the host chooses the goat by chance ( with the possibility to choose the car instead ) then my chances to win are 50% ( switching or not ). But we are talking about Monty Hall after all. So I could be wrong :P

> websites ranking other websites I can imagine how competitors are going to rank each other. Everything is about reputation and trust. If reputation is solved then many other problems become easy.

I wonder why they decided to use -1. Why not undefined or NaN or even null? The -1 produces bugs which go unnoticed for a long time.

So, it's a market failure? Nobody has predicted the shortage, stockpiled and sold for 1000x the old price?
