While it may be true in this instance that they intended to leave that interface open, assuming that being a successful company implies that all their actions are deliberate is taking it too far. To paraphrase...somebody- never ascribe to competence what can be adequately explained by indifference.
the only information needed to make this mathematical method work is that the serial numbers be sequential. As in auto-incrementing. Which is not data in a serial number.
but nevermind the facts, let us reconsider instead the choice to use or not to use 'intelligent' serial numbers back in 1942. Because it matters.
The world must know if the Nazi were bad database designers as well as genocidal sociopaths. Possibly the two are causal? No? Well, It was a theory.
Maybe some of the tradeoff costs have changed in the last sixty years or so? Maybe the costs of data storage or data retrieval have changed?
We'll never know. Hitler took the master copy of the Nazi database normalization guidelines into that bunker with him and they were never seen again.
My take is completely the opposite. I *want* to work in a high speed, high stress, high dollar business with a bunch of rum swilling pirates as co-workers. I don't mind being yelled at when I fuck up. I'd vastly prefer that to some pussy 'putting a note in my HR folder' or some passive-aggressive shit. Most of the time, the so called 'professionals' who can't take a tirade are way too narrowly focused, insecure, easily distracted, with a poor work ethic. Not all of course. There is a thin layer of zen-masters at the top of every high stress industry that has transcended yelling. People think they can become them by aping them, but that just ends up being pathetic.
Still, LARPing during an interview is totally unacceptable on the grounds that it is phony, annoying, and generally un-manly.
OK, that seems reasonable, but here's the reality:
If gas prices go up, 1. all the politicians are out of a job at the next election. We'd rather have another Bush than pay more for gas. Seriously. 2. That's if we're lucky. If we're not lucky we have riots and assassinations. 3. 'whinging' is seriously un-American. We'd rather be accused of murder than accused of 'whinging'. 4. The 'petrol' stations have no space to compete in-
a) Most of them are franchisees of oil companies and charge whatever they are told to charge.
b) The rest will be paying those same oil companies an amount that guarantees they can't compete on price with group a.
c) All the 'competition' occurs at the oil company level.
>salting after cooking is as good as or better than salt during cooking
This is wrong. Changing salting time can cause grossly non-linear effects depending on what is being cooked. food and salt are not independent variables.
Consider the humble legume. I soak it for x minutes with and without salt. Seriously, you think for any given x, the beans have the same amount of water absorption? Do you think it will cook the same at the same temperature? Of course not. Madness.
There were 16000 test subjects, and only 74+51 =125 contracted the disease. 125/16000=.0078. 0.78% =/= 68.8%
This is less than the 0.93% we could apparently have expected from this self selected population of volunteers, which is understandably less than we would expect from a truly random selection of non-volunteers; volunteers on average probably being more aware of the risks than non-volunteers.
and 2 sigma ~= 95% (assumes gaussian as someone noted, but usually is a reasonable approximation) This is a very typical confidence level for reporting data. (the next typical level up being 3 sigma or ~ 99.7%.)
It means there is a 5% chance the difference is purely accidental.
That's exactly what was reported on the BBC this morning.
As an aside, why doesn't the summary give credit to the people actually leading this study?- namely the US Army.
They would 1. Stop targeting 13-18 year olds. 2. Produce more album oriented music 3. targeted at 30 year olds 4. who regard their time as more important than money.
I third? Zebra. I work in a manufacturing plant where we have ~30 Zebras, mostly 90Xiii, working with Oracle running on Linux. Very solid unless you have to print vertically oriented barcodes.
Don't blame human nature 'cause you can't close even with the so-called 'objective' facts in your favor. You and your whiny emo pessimistic chicken little bullshit attitude are why you can't even sell sand to an Eskimo.
You are mistaken regarding points 2 and 3 being significantly less useful online.
Even live, what a winning player does most of the time is correlate patterns of game actions with cards. I don't mean mathematically, though of course we do that too. I mean real 'reads'. Looking for twitches, blinks, and Oreo cookies is mostly silly movie stuff for rapt consumption by amateurs. The betting patterns are the real story. When the story makes sense, we believe. When the story doesn't make sense, we raise. Likewise, what you call 'hiding your tells' mostly is really only the ability to tell a consistent and believable story.
The truth is, most losing players lack patience, the willingness to learn very basic odds and let them override their guts, the ability to listen carefully and honestly to the story their opponent is telling them, and the ability to tell a consistent and believable story themselves. If they can't regulate themselves enough to do these relatively easy things, what on Earth would make them capable of the close study that making use of behavioral tells requires?

that will be illegal of course.

It's the only way to be sure.

I read milliTorr, a small unit of pressure. 1 Torr = 1 mmHg, 7.5 mT = 1 Pa.
People with pixel level graphic design obsessiveness and Labview definitely do not mix.

Pretending that USA=CHINA=RUSSIA is taking cultural and moral relativism right over the rainbow with the shark.
Obviously the government couldn't be behind it, but What about the Boy Sprouts or the Gnomes of Zurich?
Could you please stop with the 'teabaggers' thing?
It was kind of amusing once or twice, but continuing to use it even in casual, non-confrontational discussion is, excuse me, fucking rude.
Would you really call a stranger a 'scrotum sucker' to their face? over, and over and over again?
China was never going to let Google really succeed anyway.
If there was any actual danger of that they would send in their cybergoons first, and their meatgoons second.
To which Google can either bend over and take it and become a de facto arm of the state, or can leave.
Might as well leave with a splash.

Cluetrain Manifesto.... Dead. Slashdot Confirms.
I'm personally not interested in what comes out of any organization's public orifice because it always looks and smells like BS.
When they shut down their non-public orifices they become more and more useless. They lose value. real, actual dollars value.
In a way I'm more worried about this from a public organization because they have a monopoly on governance
and when they're doing it wrong they can keep doing it wrong a lot longer than a private company.
I read "vehicle which will knock up satellites" and imagined a giant penis being launched into space.
Which is kind of accurate in a metaphorical sense.
The goatse guy would almost be ontopic.
