Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Whatever happened with that judge's ruling that an IP is not a person? Did it get overturned? http://torrentfreak.com/ip-address-not-a-person-bittorrent-c...

In reddit's 'hot' ranking algorithm, the first 10 votes are weighted as heavily as the next 100 which are in turn weighted the same as the next 1000 [1]. So maybe purchasing 100 upvotes is optimal for that particular system. [1] http://am

I found this particular article vague and lacking of any necessary supporting facts. I read through a few other posts by the author and found them along the same lines [1,2]. I see no reason to value anything written by Mr Lindzon on the

I'm quite certain Felix Salmon understands everything you mentioned, but apparently since he didn't dress the issue in the way you simplify it, it means he doesn't understand the situation. Maybe do a search on his blog for ratings and try

If you'd actually read the economist over the past year and a half (i.e. acute phase of euro crisis) you'd know the paper has been a staunch critic of the reactive measures taken by the various parties trying to save the EU and that the pap

All I got from this article was that Apple has enough cash on hand to enter the market if it wants to. Nothing much about strategy... iPod, iPhone, and iPad are all portable products that can be used in a wide variety of contexts, but a TV

Good thing he didn't make a sudoku app or he wouldn't have learned the same lesson... good luck taking an iterative approach to that. Seriously though, sometimes it's good to approach a problem using that advice from the chess teacher in S

I love the first book and like the HBO show, but I'm curious what people who haven't read the books think about the plot. Does it make sense? Is it just a jumble of characters that don't seem to have any depth?

Or maybe it's politicians' tendency toward accountability to the highest bidders' interests instead of constituents' that leads to low participation and feelings of disenfranchisement?

You're right about that number being so obviously easy to game, but share price isn't completely irrelevant since many mutual funds won't hold shares with a price < $5 [1]. Also, share prices < $1 can lead to delisting from exchang
