It reminds me of American Bandstand, MTV summer shows in the 90s, etc. Just aim cameras at teenagers and get paid.

From the blog posts, it looks like they were still deciding what language to write this idea in.

First look deals with production companies never went away. The first one coming to mind is The Weinstein company had a first look deal with Disney (yes, Disney turned down lord of the rings).

My family left Richardson Texas in the mid 80's. Among my few vivid memories of being there are seeing gun racks on cars, holsters on angry parents at the grocery store, cigarettes everywhere (that was nationwide), and my parents being

I'm anti all of these alt-coin things. They're just beanie babies that use absurd amounts of resources. Their value comes from hype and limited availability. Why not buy and sell stock? That's basically another set of alt coi

Pfizer and Moderna are both effective to within the mid-high 90's, was my understanding.

If the host opens the door with car, and asks you if you'd prefer to switch to the unopened door, then you have a 100% chance of being wrong, as the door with the car isn't one of the choices. But, sure, my second point still stan

The fact that the host never shows the car is critical to the solution. You choose a door. There's a 2/3rd chance that the car is behind one of the other doors. Monty is kindly going to show which of the other two doors not to cho

Your comment was awful, and completely unnecessary. It feels mean for the sake of being mean. Take a child to Muir Woods, and see them stare in awe at the massive trees. Then, ask them where the mass of the tree comes from. When they figure

My take away from this is don't go "all in" on every bet. There is a floor of $0, and the probability of N bets going the wrong way is always nonzero, even if it is small depending on the game. And with repeated "all in&

I was a friend of a friend of Jessica, and your impression of Zach is the same as I had of Jessica. I am shocked. I wasn't close enough to feel like it made sense to reach out.

Youtube made it trivial to embed videos into other websites. While Google Video didn't prioritize that at all for too long. So there was a time when youtube videos were embedded in pages all over the place. I remember that being why fr

While that may be true, my experience was that you immediately see folks assuming you're using the 'sugar' macros, and then I went to do something with JSON and that was macros as well. Honestly curious, while .4% of all def

Just to add on to what other folks are saying in reply to your question, I studied french in school for 7 years (middle school, high school, and lit in college). At the end of all of that my reading comprehension is really good, my listenin

I played with Nim a little bit, loving it for a while, and I quickly ran into the same issue I had with Julia, which was that I had trouble staying in the basic language . Both Nim and Julia's documentation, and many modules/impo

Recently, Stephen Colbert commented to a guest "Anyone who calls them 'the terrible twos' hasn't had a three year old". Similarly, this author seems to be ignoring that perfectly normal (expected for the age) teen f

Two posts about sscanf today. I'm surprised how much people apparently use it. I basically never use it, though I've used strtok a lot.

Well, the executives, and the cult mentality within those companies, will tell the developers that they don't deserve more, and that they couldn't find better if they tried to leave, and that they are also easily replaceable. It i

Grossly oversimplifying it, but it is what my lawyer uncles say, and is consistent with what I saw as a juror on a civil trial involving many topics I'm personally an expert in, expert witnesses are paid to lie on the stand. At the ver
