So GDN CPMs will likely increase a material amount depending on number of auction participants (IS bid lost will probably correlate with how much more you'll pay?) and this kind of gets swept under the rug. Now there isn't any saf

Monte Carlo simulations are invaluable when it comes to creating tissue line odds. For one of my horse racing projects, I can come up with a range of how an individual horse is likely to perform-- which isn't much use unless compared a

Just like Google will charge you for up to 2 clicks from the same user on a single search query, since that makes so much sense.

Having worked in academia as part of one of the bloated administrative staffs, they probably do little to nothing. Maybe spend 6 weeks making Powerpoints that <15 people will see, then lots of pointless meetings. Everything takes 5x long

I didn't say C# was exclusively used by boring companies. I made no claim that it was a bad language, quite the opposite (I would probably have it in my top 5 back end languages). I'm not using boring as a derogatory adjective-- j

If you step outside of the HN language of the month bubble, you'll see lots of boring companies using languages like PHP and C#. They're not flashy, but they're used everywhere and aren't going anywhere. Sure, they'

So the tides have turned. In the late 1970's a high tech company by the name of Nikon hired Giorgetto Giugiaro, known for designing a number of Italian cars, including Ferrari, to design their flagship F3 SLR. Now Ferrari is hiring som

I had a similar problem that was resolved by changing some obscure Android setting. I think it may have been the restrict background battery usage setting, then another where Signal has to have a persistent tray notification, but it gets hi

Who is to say that it isn't working as intended in building a higher wall around their ad garden? There should be a way for them to accept mail from self hosted users, or even provide some sort of testing tools (perhaps validated by cr

In conjunction with eliminating their ability to trade, yes. Otherwise it will be like trickle-down economics-- they'll just use their higher salary to trade on even more inside information and make even more money.

Yes, but is it more effective to catch and eat a 10lb trout, of which there are plenty and they're easy to identify using established laws and technologies (tip: they hang around Jackson Hole), or try to dip net and fillet 300 creek ch

At least the government has already gone after the big fish and common loopholes that corporations and the ultra-wealthy perpetually exploit to maintain single digits tax liabilities. Oh, wait....

Drop it from 35 to 21, no problem from anyone. Try to split the difference for the nominal value (Dutch/Irish sandwich means even lower effective rates) of what it was for nearly 30 years? Heresy! Won't someone think of the poor c

In America, money is speech-- especially in politics, so unfortunately maybe this is a "fitting" use of the word.

Perforated cutter pans (e.g. Pizza Hut thin'n'crispy) pans or screens (like $3 at restaurant supply stores) on a well heated stone, combined with a low moisture dough will make a great cracker crust @ just 550F, too. I guess pizza

I've just started looking at this on mobile and it looks correct for the artists I've checked so far. I'm guessing it was manually curated, since fairly prominent artists such as Canibus and Immortal Technique are absent? Mus

I've debated getting a cheap/tiny phone like a Unihertz Jelly Pro with a Redpocket sim card to just keep in the car for emergencies. So far I just leave my phone at home unless I'm going on a longer trip.
