I'm not sure why you're being down voted here but you're pretty close to correct. There have been many recent studies showing fast food really isn't cheaper than buying other types of healthier food. It is pretty close b

Facebook did even more with PHP with HHVM and other tooling. I'm not sure if JS was exactly the same for Microsoft as I saw it more as a cool internal project that got big vs something that eventually became necessary.

I don't think its exactly anti-competitive since you're free to buy an Apple TV from anyone else. This is more about companies with paid for streaming services not allowing each other on their platforms. Often they will restrict e

You only had to walk 5-10 blocks south into Spanish Harlem to get a ~13 dollar haircut but totally agree on the taxes for purchases. I always found NYC specific travel funny. For example, it can take an hour an a half to get from the Upper

I don't think its fair to boil the two points he made into the same argument. He said too many services and timing issues and one thing about Star Trek. His second point is pretty specific to occurrence, companies taking their shows of

Sometimes you need to micromanage, but if you find yourself doing that you better figure out what is wrong with that machine or person and replace it or them after the engagement/meeting/whatever is completed. We're conflatin

At Bridgewater, its not exactly just not micromanaging, that is one of the parts. Its more along the lines of knowing when to manage, specifically where the fine line is between micromanaging and "true managing", removing people w

Yes. I think if you put you and your parent comment together it forms a good synthesis of how to approach the results of this study.

God the internet provider racket could be my least favorite thing about NYC. The infra is terrible, ping is pretty terrible, price rates are terrible, providers are terrible and you probably only have one for your building. Its a real shit

I sold all my ETH at 297 right after it was starting (I make sure to check the markets before I sleep because China is often more market moving than the US/EU). I've been worried about the truth of the recent statements made in Ch

Looks great. UI looks top notch and I agree this is something I might want for personal use. I interviewed at a start up in NYC looking to do something almost identical about 6 months ago, just FYI for competition sake. I looked you guys up

I would say its probably more due to a commitment made by the fan vs maybe not going and the fact the concert/venue/promoter can invest/spend that money now instead of later.

You sure thats not mainstream? NYC banned trans fats starting in July 2007. I learned about them in middle or high school 10-15 years ago.

But that has been happening for years during this cycle, investors willing to pay a premium for future earnings, Tesla, Amazon, the list could go on. On the other side companies with good earnings are still underpriced because people are pr

This is sensationalism at its best and repeats what people have been preaching for years, one big example being Ray Dalio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0 . The fact the US market is probably in the late cycle say

This. Take a look at the listings for them on ebay; they're worth at least a grand. A buddy of mine bought one a few months ago and he's super happy with it. I wish I hadn't been a cheap college student and canceled mine a fe

This is very true. For example I have some family friends that would easily crack into the low end of the Forbes billionaires list but they operate their business legally in the islands south of America (sorry for vagueness, it is intended)

Some of this is responding to you but I think it got a little away from what I originally was going to say :) I agree Manhattan real estate can be crazy expensive but there are plenty more affordable apartments in Harlem, Brooklyn, Long Isl

Builder pattern/defaults. I personally find it much more straightforward/organized than using default values and/or named parameters. Python loves named parameters and sometimes their over usage drives me crazy.

Not quite all; there are still a handful of skills that use a discrete or flat distribution but practically all attack based changes use the pseudo random distribution. For more info: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Random_distri

Although I've noticed that the come down for me feels like the comedown off some anti-anxiety medicines or amphetamines. It certainly works as a mild anti-depressant while the drug is working.

I disagree. If we want to get into numbers sure there is some percentage who first had a prescription. I'm also sure there are plenty of people who started using when they were flowing freely and cheaply as a recreational drug. I know

Yeah. At first is was pong. People figure out how to send fake scores really easily, myself included. It was just an packed js file and you could deobfuscate it, pull in the score generating js and send fake http response to their server. T

They do have apps that reduce this stuff and tie it to a phone number: Nike has SNKRS, adidas has confirmed. All the physical stores do raffles in person and many of the websites do raffles online. Basically, all of your other ideas have be

When a store is selling 20 pairs of a shoe, they will literally look at how the person who bough the pair did their web execution. Using a something like python requests is faster sure, but most of the time looking more "real" is

I agree with you with respect to representation. Pattern/sequence generation is something most DAWs don't have outside of something like Cthulhu which the languages can do easily. Another thing I've been dying for is an easie
