Because often you are not hiring a team, you only have so much work/budget. And if you do, odds are you will need to break up the team a short while afterwards for some other needs. And you want to merge them into existing teams anyway

Yeah that's fair. It was sloppy language from me. The point I wanted to make was that you play hands where your odds of winning is <50% a large amount of the time.

A good h2h limit strategy probably plays 95% of buttons and 70% of big blinds or so, so at least 30% of the hands you play are neutral EV at best (symmetrical game, so at most 50% are +EV preflop and you play at least 80% of all hands). Onl

Limit means fixed size betting. Typically 1 big blinds preflop and flop, 2 big blinds on turn and river, with a max of 4 bets total on any street. The algorithm sounds like it basically identifies the path with the least negative EV for any

I use my email inbox. Many people will say that is wrong. :) I dont think it matters, as long as you have something that works for you. Paper, some app, email, whatever.

Probably because it is used in Ericson switches etc? A lot of stuff has been sold on the back of Erlang even though it is probably a niche language in terms of users/popularity.

There's not that many places where you end up biking through deep snow, on ice, in -20F for a long part of the season, right? Normally its one of the other (really cold, or ice) - if you have long periods of -20F then you have packed s

Of the classes I've taken, pure math classes are what have taught me the most about thinking. Physics a bit less, chemistry even a bit less. Chemical engineering less still. Computer science varied depending on language - when it was H

I would love some far east too - I have no experience with that though, so if someone has some advice I'd love to hear it too.

More notably to me they are all western. There's a lot more diversity missed out on due to not having say Lem and the Strugasky brothers than on old and male imo. Eastern European sci-fi is well worth spending some time on.

That is on about 3-4B revenue or so though, so its actually a pretty good profit margin.

Is that because of pricing or because of company structure/setup though? Ryanair is currently predicting 510M profit on 81M trips in Europe for 2014. Not saying they are a model company in any way (the main thing I disagree with is som

They're buying an IP for the future. Attached to that they also get a company with some staff (some of which are excellent at what they do). If they have a solid idea of how they want to use the IP, it makes sense. It also comes with a

I'll second that. College football (through whatever means I can get over here - i.e. most likely espn player this year) and twitch makes up 90% of the TV-style media I use.

This isnt a boss problem though, right? It's a problem of interaction between two people, where neither is expressing clearly what their real opinion is. There's a bit more responsibility on the person acting as boss to resolve it

I love getting that stuff. For me, the fun in work is to work on stuff that is hard and fix it and/or make it easy. I will work on easy stuff when it is necessary and stuff just needs to get done, and I recognise that a lot of work is

I think we agree. Thats the thing - the indicators when used right are used for science. Namely improvement of self or others. It gets harmful when they are solely used to determine if you should get a raise or get fired. They can certainly

It is fine to have KPIs. When KPIs go out of control it is a sign of culture issues, or whatever you want to call it. KPIs are just that. Indicators. Temperature is an indicator of good climate. If someone's answer to "it is cold

Yep. Swedish post codes define mail delivery areas as well. You can effectively sort on partials and get high accuracy. For instance, the office I used to work in handled all of 421xx, 426xx and 436xx, as well as a few of the 430xx range. S

Give the expansion a try. I am thoroughly enjoying it now, where I only played 2 characters to 60 and then stopped with the core game. Most of the things that put me off playing are now fixed.

I mispronounce my own name most of the time. When I'm speaking English (which is 99% of the time I guess) I just use the English pronounciation, because it is easier, and who cares, really?

By your reasoning Amazon are crazy for keeping as low margins as they are. They are leaving money on the table in the belief that as long as they stay somewhat profitable their future earnings will outweigh the short-term benefits from the
