Your theory cannot be true, because legal writing is equally dry and opaque in non-adversarial settings: - litigation, where the aim is to persuade a judge - court opinions, where the aim is to persuade the parties and other judges - I'd ad

This is a pretty hard one. Perhaps: - it's a tool for making small web apps. The web apps can be run locally or pushed out to a public URL (so other people could run the app, or if they had the platform, could download it, run it locally, a

The only facts quoted in the article are: Tiger woods in dominant, and "[w]hen the superstar entered a tournament, every other golfer took, on average, 0.8 more strokes. This effect was even more pronounced when Woods was playing well." Bas

This could have a completely rational explanation: If you find yourself overmatched, then it pays to take risks. If I found myself playing golf against Tiger Woods, I'd try higher risk / higher reward shots, because if I stick to my typical

Seriously. They could have fixed this themselves by ... Option #1: add "(ends Nov 1)" to the tweet. Option #2: be cool, roll with the publicity - "We've had such a great response that we've decided to have two prizes. Thanks for the support

Having browsers mean X apps that run other apps, not 1. I think it is sort of a dystopian vision to have the OS be the only party responsible for rendering apps. Having IE, Safari, Firefox & Chrome (and Flock, MobileSafari, Opera, ...)

Think contract law, not copyright law. By signing up, you are making a contract with geoapi. If you violate that agreement, then they'd (potentially) have a case for breach of contract.

The downside of yield management is that it upsets the buyers. A couple times a week I go to my favorite lunch spot, and I know exactly what I'm going to order and how much it will cost. If one day I walk in at it costs $20 to buy a burrito

That's a really nice service. So, how much is this going to cost?

Really, you can't tell? To me the difference in quality is really far apart. Just look at the first paragraph - which one makes you want to read more? "Things looked bleak for the Angels when they trailed by two runs in the ninth inning, bu

It gives a readable account, but still needs some work. Compare the auto-generated article to ESPN's account: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=291011102 Also, how did the auto-generated article get quotes from players?

Often these requirements aren't literal. If you've got a background that is otherwise a good fit they might give you a look anyway.

First, don't conflate adsense with advertising in general. If you want to run ads then you can set up redirects so that ad sense is your remnant provider, but you'll get higher eCPMs if you can into an ad network. If you do want to run ads

"Another is to group related websites together and run ads evenly across all of them. This is how most smaller ad networks work." I help design ad ops software for ad networks, and ads definitely don't "run evenly" across ad networks. Some

Nice. I like how each page links back to the source that generated it.

Agreed. I've been playing around with web development with Scheme and Arc, and it really is a joy to use. Do you have any sites that are live right now that run scheme?
741.
by idoh 17y ago
It depends on what you want to use it for. I've found that doing exploratory web development in Scheme is really painful. You are basically on your own, and have to develop everything from scratch. For example, if you want to make a simple

I'm a non-practicing lawyer in the tech space. There actually is a lot of technology in law. For example, eDiscovery is a really hot field right now. The basic problem: given a multi-terabyte corpus, which documents are legally relevant? In

I'm having trouble coming up with a legal theory where users could sue the 3rd party acquirer under contract law. As an alternative, how about IP law? The user could own the information, and grant a nonexclusive license to hunch.com to use
