Thanks! I had the impression that it could be thought of data compression. I'm more skeptical of your f(t) idea. Sure, it could be thought of that. But could you calculate that function in any less time than it would take you to run th

>you are unwilling to learn a new trait I think you meant "trade." But your mistake is quite illustrative. You can't go to school to acquire (in this example) supermodel looks.

I don't think many jobs during the Golden Age of Piracy would be considered safe and free from threat of death or injury.

Sure, that wording would be better. I wasn't sure exactly how to say it. I think we tend to do that though for better or worse: we identify new people by one or two odd facts we know about them. And that alters how we communicate with

Whoa. I met Noah at a very small game dev conference last May. I had no idea who he was until this moment, nor was I aware that anyone else did, but I could be wrong. It's interesting to think how that interaction would have changed, p

So I was on Glassdoor just yesterday and saw a little note "Your trust is our top concern, so companies can't alter or remove reviews." Is that just a flat out lie?

I had a business idea much like that when I was a kid. Send people to deserted islands and let them survive on their own for weeks. However, I assumed it would only be for the ultra rich. It's mind boggling to me that the rates are act

I would advise against this attitude in general because even for the same person it varies . When I was in college, I once slept like a baby after taking an evening time 4 shot espresso drink. I tried the same thing a few months later and

The site has always given me that vibe. I'm not sure I understand the point of a bunch of people getting together to celebrate how smart they are. Especially since they're pulling statistics out of thin air and using unconvincing

Seems fairly simple to me. Tightening up the odds and the trip-to-trip 20% discount means he would be seeing a nearly 10% return on every visit. Those odds don't sound like good business. Re: the card counting thing, is it really that
