I think their marketing is off. It's 10-20% of the price of a segway, and you can climb stairs, and carry them much more easily. They also look easy to put on (unlike rollerblades). If they can sell 500 units, they'll…
Also, not knowing what scope a variable has when creating closures.
Yes and yes. It's still probably the biggest upset ever, but not as unlikely as their model suggests.
I think he's saying it's a souped-up poisson model, not an agent based model. It's not trying to predict individual behavior. A poisson model is probably valid, but it should perhaps be refined a bit. Maybe it should…
Statistically, high paid CEOs are worth less than low paid ones. There's a negative correlation between CEO pay and stock performance.
FTA, it seems she's front-running some approvals requirements and the sales / payola cycle by running a testing lab as well as developing the tests. To IT people, this is counterintuitive. You don't vertically…
Just a stupid question ... what is it? edit: Answered in other people's comments - it's somewhere between HTML5BoilerPlate and Bootstrap - a basic "hello world" bunch of HTML / SASS / js boilerplate code. This one has…
Can you fix it by adding random gaussian noise to the input?
No, the ASU (which is part of the government) is doing its job. Starbucks is forking over a few hundred dollars per worker as a perk.
Ideally, if you can convince a court there's a reasonable chance that the property was legally obtained (using income you legally earned), and that it wasn't purchased with the intent to primarily use it for illegal…
It sounds like the Soylent Revolution will be pleasurable. If you have Soylent for one or two meals a day, then you'll really enjoy everything else. The mechanics of pleasure are well understood - you enjoy things more…
Python 3 isn't really good. It's not really bad, either. There's really not that many magic bullets (other than proper functional programming, maybe, which isn't about to happen in Python). People are leaving Python for…
No, it won't. Unless the economists have seriously screwed up, then capital gains will be done on an accrual basis - 100 people will all be gaining income from their homes.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference, right? Your problem is not really knowing if you can change things. Or whether it's…
Apple Fanboy and MS basher here. Seriously, the Surface is a great move. Aside from the whole Pro / RT naming thing, of course (confusing customers is not good). The Surface is, AFAIK, the only good tablet PC out there…
http://peter-the-tea-drinker.com/pages/longjing-exmple.html Summary - if you don't want to break the web you should do this: 1. If you must use Javascript templating, inline the JSON into the document. 2. If possible,…
