Of course! There are professional poker players who run bad for months at a time even. Variance is a cruel mistress. That doesn't negate the fact that talent certainly gives you an edge in poker or in the startup world. It's eas

Succeeding in the startup world is luck like succeeding in poker is luck. Sure, there is an element of luck undeniably involved, but in the long term, raw talent should play a significant role as well.

Thanks. I was merely arguing that based on the article, we don't really get clarification on whether Townsend was being compensated. When I replied to your previous post I didn't realize you were the author of the port.

My impression (based on the article alone) was that the author of the ios version is pretty much benefiting from the sales exclusively. Perhaps I missed something or there are sources that provide more information on the matter, but Townsen

Shouldn't it be open source under the terms of the original game's license? ( https://tldrlegal.com/license/mozilla-public-license-2.0-(mp... ) Or is a port not considered a derivative work?

Hard drives are generally pretty cheap nowadays, so I'd think it would be more like 1-2 weeks of pay for a minimum wage earner, perhaps even 1-2 days pay for someone doing technical work. But even still, your point is valid.

I liked this story, but there were a few things I didn't quite understand. How did they manage to get latency to roughly the speed of light? And furthermore, wouldn't emails be routed through a series of intermediary SMTP servers,

One important thing to consider (and I'm not sure that the survey does) is that a lot of this weight may come from cached sources, such as javascript libraries sourced from CDNs. While more libraries = more total content weight, using

As long as Gavin holds the key to the 'panic button' for the entire network (which I don't think is necessarily the worst choice), he will have slightly more power over the direction of bitcoin than anyone else.

There's a difference in that analogy, though. You don't want to overconsume calories; you do want to consume as much information as possible. If we were trying to maximize calorie intake over time, corn syrup would probably be the

To be pedantic, it should be noted that the contrast to polyandry I believe you're looking for is 'polygyny'. PolyGAmy refers to any practice of having more than one spouse, regardless of gender.
