So if I read that right, if the company I'm working for wants to use this system then I have to give Abacus direct access to my bank account. Why wouldn't it integrate with the company's existing system? I hope that's

It is a different way of doing business in the industry. For a typical lawn care company you: 1) Call to schedule a consultation 2) Person comes out, looks at your yard, gives you a list of options and schedules. 3)You select the options,

My biggest gripe about the list: since when did it become acceptable to alphabetize using leading "A" and "The". You're supposed to skip those.

I can see both sides of this. On one hand, it would severely degrade the quality of HN if it became a sounding board for complaints against Ycombinator funded companies. One the other hand, there was a chance for a completely germane disc

I've been thinking along these same lines. It's going to be very tricky to simultaneously get the rich language required for interesting reading and make it sufficiently interactive. It will be pushing the state of the art in na

Many doctors also don't have a nuanced understanding of statistics. They can quote you the survival numbers you can read elsewhere and they can quote you other people's interpretation of them, but if you have a question that devi

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought Netflix already did this with their DVDs. They would see that certain DVDs were near the top of the queue in certain areas and move the DVDs closer. Works especially well with more rare items.

A very informal proof: Let X = 0.999… Then 10X = 9.999… 10X - X = 9.999… - 0.999… = 9 = 9X Therefore X = 1. Being able to do the subtraction infinitely is a little hand-wavy, but should suffice as a demo for middle and high schoolers. More

I went to a very good public school system in Maryland. More than one math teacher taught me that while we suspect that there are an infinite number of prime numbers, we can't prove it. I found out later that there exists a relativel

First, are you still 17? If so, then you will have an even harder time freelancing because your ability to enter into contracts is questionable. There is established law regarding underage employees but not so much regarding freelancers.

Does anybody have any experience with selling books like this outside of the software realm? By which I mean publishing beta books as you go or bundling other resources. and charging a premium. It seems to be something that the software c

Would it be rude of me to ask what the business model is? This doesn't seem like the type of venture that lends itself well to the standard ways of making a profit off of open source, ie consulting or support.

I don't know about the one mentioned, but I've used very high end CNCs. The ones that I used are VERY carefully calibrated by the manufacturer on site. A slight change in the slope of the floor could throw the calibration off.

Your .506 is right but the arithmetic problem that you set equal to it is wrong. I think you meant to type 1024/(1024+1000). (BTW, it should be 1024/(1024+999) ).

I've used a similar question, but with two coins. I think if I am ever in a position where I am hiring again, I may follow-up that question with this extension to 100 coins. What is the most common answer? Typically, I get either bla

I'll second that with caveats. "The Elements" requires quite a bit of commentary to make sense and most editions seem to aspire more to translational accuracy than mathematical understanding. But if you can get past that it
