The question of "Does the seller actually own the thing being sold" is interesting. For example, I consider StubHub jerktech, even though the owner does indeed own the ticket. But encouraging people to buy up tickets for resale a

They claim that their backtesting mechanism accounts for the spread. Your guess is as good as mine whether they do so perfectly.

On the question of long/short gains, you are certainly correct to say there is a difference, but it's also likely that rebalancing will only trade a fairly small portion of your portfolio. A neat way to do this would be to use you

Then I suppose you will be happy about this youtube change if it helps Google show you an author's comments? Perhaps because you +1'd them on google plus? Or because you bought one of their books? This change, like it or don&#x27

Do you suspect this was in preparation for the inevitable day when Google would require real names on youtube comments?

Four years is a ridiculously quick time to recover the entire cost of an apartment, and that limits the risk a lot. For example, if this gets stopped somehow in the next year or so, he would only lose out if property prices also fell more

Agreed, this is either amazing, or crap. The suspicious part of me assumes crap. But I'd like to be wrong. This could do utterly amazing things for our understanding of nutrition if there was an easy way to monitor everything that s

We load a normal (non-retina) page the first time we see a visitor, and then we set a cookie if the devicePixelRatio is high. After that, pages are rendered with retina images directly in the src attributes. Imperfect, but that seemed like

http://www.sunrisedomes.com/ I talked to them once and it sounded like they can ship the materials in a fairly compact way. I helped put up a fairly large one - not so hard, but we needed scaffolding.

ArsTechnica has a nice article out that seems to lay out the strategy pretty clearly. Unbundling apps, and an uber service that can do just about anything, constantly updating. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/0

Agreed. There's seems to be a semi-automatic title change process that can make wildly poor decisions. "Bugger" is an absolutely useless title.

Why would that be? Do blinked things ever leave the flow? I didn't think so, so layout should be unaffected.

Yes. We did not find a good one when we looked, so we mail a lot of checks manually for now.

Yes. This site had exactly as much content as its url.

Pretty neat. A simple transform, but I prefer this style and miss C's static in some cases. The doc says that the transformed variable name uses the method name for a suffix to avoid name clashing. But it needs to use the signature, right?

The supercharger network doesn't really help all that much if you don't have ranges like the S. Let's suppose you only have 100 mi range. If so, you have to stop for fairly long time (on the order of a lunch break) in order to recharge.

What "makes sense" is that a ranking system that surely depends a great deal on reputation finds schools geographically closer to it to be "better". (In particular, I'm comparing the ranking of Stanford and MIT in surveys from the UK and As

That's a little unfair. Toward the end of the article, there are stats about monthly television viewership, and monthly viewership of content on computers. In particular that there are now more people who watch TV on a computer once a mon

My sister had her children trained. If they whined, she would ask, "What do whiners get?" They had to yell back, "Nothing!" (Or the siblings would do it, if the whiner was too pouty.)

Do these installations just pick the best single angle and stick to it all year? It seems like you must be able to get a reasonable benefit by adjusting your panels say, once a month.

Use 'height' (and maybe blocks instead of rocks, because then it's clearer they stack).

Well, consider the alternative. Suppose Google says, "We have 78,354 instances of prior art, we'd like you to consider each one in turn. If one of them is good enough, we win. If none are, we lose. Sometime next century." Since it only t
