   It's not only the odds but the magnitude of the bet that matter. Because losing $1000 wouldn't bother you much, you're happy to do it. But scale the proposition up enough, perhaps 10^3, and you wouldn't be so relaxed a

   Continuous availability is good, but we also want markets to connect buyers and sellers of various sizes as efficiently as possible. Efficient not in the CS sense, but in the sense of paying the middlemen as little as possible. Discrete ma

   It's not directly a problem for Google — it's primarily a problem for sites that create original content.

   Thanks for using the wonderfully evocative phrase "Penumbra of Fear". Googling the phrase led me to read "Terms of Service" ( http://projects.aljazeera.com/2014/terms-of-service ), a great read. And

    The copyright on the site suggests that citycreator goes back to 2002. If that's so, then why is it being posted now in 2015? It's a neat site. And yay for no flash.

    Great question. Hypotheses: a) 70s culture was a brief moment where geek culture was also pop culture, e.g. Monty Python. So geeks will forever adore that moment b) mass culture underwent a big shift when TV emerged, so that people after
