The paper touches on this. You could use a number which will become known on a future date. They propose the last 3 digits of a state run lottery. Anything with enough randomness to cover your payout ratio would work. You could imagine taki

Yes, I'd much rather authorize automatic payment to sites… say give the Springfield Shopper the right to pull $0.01 each time I read one of their articles until they hit a $1 limit, or up to $0.25 per week, or something like that. Ther

Architecturally this uses threads, a master listener and some number of worker threads. You will add a couple calls to your program to initialize the web server. The workers use synchronous I/O. You can easily add server side support f

You can beat lead acid on lifetime. I looked into that for a remote installation instead of a half ton of lead acid every 8 years. I elected to do lead acid once more and then hope for a suitable lithium solution. I swear that half ton feel

I believe what a user really cares about is the false negative rate. 10⁻⁵ versus 10⁻⁶ false positive rates don't matter when it locks out after 10¹ fails.

I sort of hate to impose, but since it came up in a parent post… can you translate a joke from your 3 million person language into English which is not funny in English? I promise to use it as an example in conversation and preserve it!

They bid on a job that was only 30% specified. The scope of work eventually doubled when the site was fully analyzed and the price tag almost doubled. Nothing to see here. There is work that is 100% documented in the proposal and in those c

In my industry, and having to make the decisions to fire people, our worst 1% not only didn’t pull their own weight, they were a negative contribution. Getting rid of them and not replacing them actually put us ahead. In most cases the empl

Company's don't get to decide. It is written in law. Check the WARN act, but the key threshold seems to be 500 workers at a single facility. As an employer, getting rid of your worst 1% of workers once a year is just housekeeping.

It is already $14k, the lower price is with incentives. It is 10” smaller than a Smart car, top speed is 62mph, and it has a 90 mile range. That’s rough sell in America even before you try to make it safe enough to pass a crash test. (It mi
