How do you deal with minified JS (which is what you normally have in production)?

> The parent is correct, the claimed relationship being y ~ rank^a for some a<0 You clearly don't know the difference between exponential and polynomial relationship. rank^a is polynomial. a^rank is exponential. The

The parent is obviously wrong about power law (like e^x). It's not even e^(e^x), it's something that grows more rapidly, like x^x, or x factorial. I'm too lazy to figure it out.

That's not true, only if the distribution in both directions is exponential, which is not the case here. The horizontal scale is just the rank, which is linear.

I charted the LOG(video views) here: http://i.imgur.com/WubeX.png What's really interesting is that LOG(LOG(video views)) looks pretty much the same: http://i.imgur.com/NnSrA.png So I'm not sure what law the distribution follows, but th

Exactly. When shit hits the fan, expensive contractors go first. Then the executives that lost to other executives. Low wage workers rarely get cut first.

Picking on AMD is just weak. You have to realize that Intel is 55 times larger than AMD (market capitalization). It's actually amazing that AMD can compete with them and keep Intel's prices (relatively) low.

They are in Romania, why would you even care about their silly threats? Repost the article all over the internet, inter-link, and your links will show up first in the search engines.

And the investors should care about that why?

That's such a WTF answer. Who gives a shit if you have a couch?

It's not just you. Their graphic designer is clueless. He can draw pretty pictures, but has no idea how to deliver the message effectively. All it needs is a bullet list of what the app does and maybe a screenshot.

What's the point of "Map" and "Set" in Javascript? Objects can already act like either.

Trades are pretty much anonymous, only the exchange itself knows who the participants are.

If anything, this shows the fault tolerant design that works.

Because then they will look sharper. You have to sharpen when you downsample images. Web design 101.

This is so wrong. 1) He didn't sharpen the small images. 2) He only displayed one type of image - very bright with no shadow detail. This theory breaks completely if you actually compare apples to apples. Like these two, both 80KB generated

Fucking finally. I hope the rest of the country follows. p.s. It's pretty sad this obvious move is considered "groundbreaking". All it took is a pair of balls.

Sure, Google, couldn't figure out how to make it cheaper than $100K per vehicle, but ChuckMcM on the internets sure can do it for "a lot less than $40K".

Even if you view them by genre, it makes little sense. Like in sci-fi, Avengers is #1 (which I thought was a boring movie full of cliches), whereas the brilliant Watchmen is ranked #1780. WTF?

Yes, you listed (some of) the components. Building a working scalable system is something else though.

Considering how much Bing advertises and Google doesn't, it must have cost Microsoft a fortune to increase Bing by 4.2%.
