I'm not sure I see the business opportunity here. For one, the Groupon business model has been universally panned here on HN. Furthermore, the grocery business is a notoriously low margin business (both for the stores and the brands). Even

I don't think it means there are less programmers on HN, rather I think it reflects the drop in the programming skill of the average user as HN has grown.

That is incorrect. k has no relation to n. k is the size of the range of possible values in the input and n is the actual number of elements in the input. To illustrate, consider sorting 32 bit integers. If the radix is one bit (i.e. radix=

Technically the sort algorithm from the article is called counting sort, not radix sort. While both radix sort and counting sort are O(n) they are fundamentally different algorithms. In practice radix sort can be used for larger domains of

I use a similar technique (although I didn't make a script for it). I fail to see how it is "less good" [sic]. My password for every website is unique (15+ characters, mix of character cases, special characters, etc), it is not stored anywh

I think a little more instruction to the user would be helpful. I kept picking which picture I would rather be in a fight against until I came here and read the comments.

I am familiar with the stock market, but I am far from a sophisticated investor. One thing I always had trouble understanding is what is value of holding shares in a company like Google? You have no voting power, no dividends, and an event

Well in all fairness those are probably pretty good passwords. I would guess they are both extremely uncommon passwords. Furthermore any brute forcing algorithm is probably going to leave trying all 28 character passwords for the end since

I'm always astounded why so many companies seem more willing to lose a loyal repeat customer than take a small hit on the bottom line for a particular transaction. Companies like NewEgg, Costco, and Zappos have demonstrated how being willin
