It definitely took a lot of attention at my local game shop away from traditional table top role playing.

Depends on the institution and their relationship to the borrower. For instance, if you are a servicer who bought the MSRs to a loan portfolio and a large cut of those borrowers pay off early, you may not make back your investment on the MS

Definitely have the same feeling after QuakeCon or music festivals as well.

And we are lucky that with software we have the flexibility to rebuild without many of the costs other disciplines face. If I want to rebuild a skyscraper in its same location for the same purpose, I can't build it offsite and then qui

Here's a hypothesis: people are more likely to buy a product when they see it has a large number of reviews and ultimately Amazon cares about moving product.

Motivations are certainly different now. I do wonder if kids today still have that "wild west" feel when messing with computers. I remember when I was young, writing programs and making computers do simple things seemed really imp

I agree. Fox is a factory that happens to make movies. A corollary here would be to say that "fashion as an art form is truly dead" because Wal-Mart sells mass produced graphic tees for children.

Or, in many cases, people have done the mental calculus between free, powerful, entertaining services and their privacy rights and have chosen the former.

Yes! Felt like an actual adventure and less of a roller coaster on rails.

This is why Everquest was so great for me. Leveling took a long time and you really got to explore the world. It would take teaming up with people just to make perilous journeys - this is something I don't think exists anymore in games

On the topic of old email addresses, make sure your old email provider doesn't release your email address after so many years / months. This is a common way to get access to accounts by creating a new email account with the same a

Linear algebra is probably my favorite part of math from a practicality standpoint. I'm not in a math heavy field, but knowing how to use matrices to solve optimization problems has been very helpful.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find those jobs as they would be exceedingly rare. FAANG companies can typically offer those salaries because they have the pipeline / structure to make new developers valuable and have the bankrol

This reminds of me "Typing of the Dead". It's like the arcade shooter House of the Dead, but instead of a light gun, you use your keyboard and shoot zombies by typing words to kill them. Pretty fun way to work on typing speed

What would be a viable alternative? I don't think they can just ignore the issue and, as you mention, can't review every single story. They'll have to rely on some form of sampling for the reviewers. Would it be better to jus

If it's not handled appropriately, you're potentially making a really poor-taste virtual roller coaster. It could easily be seen as making a spectacle of a national tragedy.

There's actually a start up that does this for AirBnBs called NoiseAware (I have no affiliation with them). I could definitely see that being interesting for more permanent rentals as well. Probably hard to get tenant consent though fo

Just curious - what sort of data would you want to track on tenants?

I'm sure some unfortunate developer in Japan has made this mistake as I've seen datetimes stored as strings in America. There's also probably logic in UIs somewhere that uses the string representation for something more criti

The address extraction piece would make an awesome API that you could charge for if it's effective. I imagine a lot of aggregators would pay for something like that.

I like this idea a lot, but not able to check it out due to 502 errors. Would like to see it when it's a bit more built out. What are you using for address extraction?
