Interesting. This was all learned while I played Everquest. I'm glad I never got into WoW. It seems like all the same. In fact if you subsitute "Everquest" with every reference to "World of Warcraft" in this art

The same mental shift could be attributed to R as well. For instance use the *ply function (apply, lapply, sapply, tapply) if you want to loop over vectors of data instead of using "for" loops.

That validates my theory. I always thought that there is such a big advantage to a single backhand vs double backhand. I haven't watched tennis is a while but I was a Becker and Connors fan.

The last of the great single backhand tennis players. Is the double backhand really that much of an advantage? Does power trump lateral range? I'm not a tennis player but I was a fan watching Sampras while growing up.

I didn't read the article but the first thing that jumped into my head is why are they comparing the size of a continent to sizes of countries?

As an aside tracking cars is being done now for collections and repossession industry. Right now its done by scanning parking lots or places of high density and comparing to databases of records.

I think WWIII sim is probably a better description. Or could go with the 1985 War Games "Global Thermonuclear War". Just nitpicking. The simulation is awesome.

What did they do? BUMP: those downvoting. It's a serious question. The article doesn't explain the student's methods. I really don't know what they did to game the system. Is it well known?

This is something I love to think about when driving on the highway. I've read so much on it. I've also had some thoughts on recommendations to solve it 1. Divided lanes for 3+ lane highways. Basically a modified HOV lane but

It depends of your definition of MVP. I believe MVP is just enough to show you have a working concept that could have the potential for revenue. Since I'm a data guy I'm always going to say more data is better.

Here's my opinions on the matter. 1) Build a MVP prototype with the scraped data. Don't worry about the business model. Yet VERY IMPORTANT make sure you are allowed to scrape the data in the first place. Work out an agreement t

I may be mistaken but I believe airline cockpits were made to be able to lock out people from entering in the event of a terrorist activity to take over the plane. This was initiated after 9/11.
