How does anyone afford 180% the value per year? It seems like it would make buying any car more than a few thousand DKK only possible for a very small rich few.

Given NFL players tend to be carefully trained and I would assume as strong as possible, why do they tend to have shorter than expected life expectancy? Or world class athletes in general? Doesn't that show that going to an extreme and bein

HSBC wasn't really prosecuted nor were the hundreds of billions of cash that they laundered seized, I think its very selective enforcement in many cases.

The payout to the users would be greater or the payout from the company to the lawyers would be greater? The latter I agree, the former, I doubt given the paltry amounts that most class actions suits return.

Given the biggest "trade secret" on OkCupid is the matching algorithm and its laid out so that anyone who wanted to would be able to implement it, I bet he would be pretty excited to hear that 300M people in China found his idea awesome. Al

Has the relative income of the residents changed since then? I.e. if the average income in 1937 was on par with the national average and now its 200x that, perhaps there's greater demand for a luxury service such as cabs from a greater slic

That seems to say that stock pickers and fund advisors have no skills, not very much about professional traders. whatsoever. I've read some stuff that said that the military has studied pit traders at NYMEX due to their skill in handling va

Are those trees the stereotypical tall strong oak type trees used in most examples? I agree its possible but you don't usually see what most people think of as a "majestic" tree standing alone in those sorts of conditions. Normally they see

In some high profile cases, people haven't even lost their jobs (e.g. http://readwrite.com/2012/05/03/10-executives-who-lied-on-th... ) and the damage was limited to their reputation and bonuses. I'm surprised there weren't more shareholde

Does that actually work on B2B products that are in the hundreds or thousands dollar range every month? I don't think that cost is really an issue in that world if its delivering value at a large multiple, its more integration/implementatio

Just using rough numbers: 33% federal income tax 6.2% on the first 113K for Social Security 1.45% for Medicare 9.3% for CA state income tax Plus any local taxes? Gets to about 50% there. I know in NYC when the company I was with sold, my to

Yeah I didn't understand that either, unless as the other commenter mentioned they allow you to do a cashless exercise as you vest, however you are still possibly subject to AMT. AFAIK all ISOs are possibly subject to AMT whereas if you con

I don't know too many startups that need to scale in minutes as opposed to hours. Even sites that have taken off have usually had growth over a period of months or years. I do think it makes sense if you are doing something massively cpu in

So your total spend on 1 reserved EC2 m1.medium instance is $579.92 a year, not including any bandwidth or EBS storage. On the other hand you could go to OVH and get a dedicated server with 8gb of ram and 2TB of disk and significantly faste

Or you could just engineer your systems to take that into account and realize that you can't trust the data center's power so you have to be able to quickly and easily shift all the load to another one.

The stoplight indicator and a few other things were done via client side js with non obvious variables names. Once that Greasemonkey script came out it was quickly moved to the server side since there was no reason not to do it there. I bel

Trains are substantially more efficient to move freight. I don't think that self driving trucks will be able to compete insofar as bulk movement of freight goes.

I think coal plants are vastly more efficient than they were in 1913 from improvements in materials technology, higher pressures and more efficient combustion.

Yeah from my understanding everyone was on rations in Europe and the civillians got the short end as far as quantity and quality goes. That is a good point though, I wonder if the lack of food was due to long supplie lines and a decrease in

Yeah you would think the cost savings from EC2 and the 60K they spent on New Relic would cover paying for a quality sysadmin to run that stuff.

I thought after the war the victors (at least England and the US) treated the refugees and immigrants quite well. Admittedly not as well as their own troops in the area but humanely. I know France and the USSR treated the refugees very hars
