:-) One can argue about the validity of "tiobe", but still...as much as people would like to see that "C and C++ are on the decline and they're just going to get smaller," it somehow just doesn't happen. ;-) Even in my case, I was happily c

I've been chatting with a few people and they confirmed to me that outperform football market long-term (by statistical model or any other way) is indeed very difficult, and most professionals currently do tennis and horses. The reason is t

I think the reason is that you can launder money this way. What is also interesting to me is why the internet betting is prohibited in USA, but buying stock or forex trading is not prohibited. So you can't bet on sport outcome, but you can

That's cool, was it long-term profitable? I traded under 3.5 and 4.5 (manually) in a few matches with quite a good results.

Did you try to write some bot yourself? If so, for which sport? You can also PM me if you want, I do have interest in this area.

It works like this: for example, you bet before the football match that the result will NOT be a draw. Then, when favourite scores a goal, you can place a second bet, this time you bet that it WILL be a draw. But after the favourite scored

But where does the bot obtains current live score? Or will the bot "watch" only the odds movements? I started recently to trade tennis on betfair, but not sure how it could be automated without the bot knowing the current score.

It seems to me this is a generational thing. I live in Europe, coming from a not-so-rich family, and my 30 years old sister is exactly like that guy - if the job is so-called boring or "inferior", she would not even consider it...she prefer

World Cup is very difficult, if impossible to predict. For example, I was watching Slovakia-Italy yesterday, and in around 95 minute, Italia had a good chance to equalize to 3:3, it was a matter if the player will hit the ball correctly - I

Jacob are you planning to add some formatting options? What you consider to be the main use cases for notepad.cc?

How can a computer know what my beliefs are? ;-) Overall, I agree with you. It should be possible to define some objective criteria about what is interesting, and then some algorithm could check all the new articles from mainstream dailies,

Yes, I would be interesting about the technical side, like how the publishing backend works, how do you manage the large number of submissions, etc.

This was also my idea..I would like to see more documents from totalitarian regimes like Iran, China, North Korea, etc. Maybe Russia. On the other side, that guy is not American, and he is not responsible for U.S. national security. Is he o

But have you thought about this: Why it is that no one with the mentality you are presenting here was able to solve that millenium problem? Maybe it was solvable only by someone you would call "insane". Same with Tesla - if he had taken mon

Depends. If he can now spend all his time doing what he likes to do, why he would want an additional burden of managing all those money? And even if sometimes in the future he will be in a serious need of money, many math institutions or un

He didn't actually say "immediately". I understood that he needs $2000/month "as soon as realistically possible," and asks in which kind of software is such a goal easiest to achieve. It's just his question is hard to answer when he seems t

Can you, for example, work for a competition in your spare time? I have a contract which forbids me do that (but I respect it since it seems reasonable to ask for this).

Such spiritedness is very rare on HN, and such comments can be downmoded to invisibility, which I think is enough.

In Zuck case, I think when you are very good at "Does the CEO know what to do?", you can naturally know how to lead those below you, and those people can then work on that "build a high performance organization" goal.
