That's neat! You should add team winning percentage as another stat to see if it improves your results. It might reduce the occurrence of false positives for players like Lillard a…

Andrey Butov from the Bootstrapped.fm podcast developed a cross-platform desktop application called Scribbleton ( https://scribbleton.com/ ) that sounds like exactly what you are l…

I currently live near Dayton and grew up near Pittsburgh. If you don't have ties to either city, I would take job with better benefits and manager in Pittsburgh. Both are nice citi…

Yes the "what's new" section is the first thing I looked for! Does anyone know if this new version supports HEVC/H.265 video? I would upgrade my existing Chromecast if more codecs …

Did your friend share any reasons why the turnover is so high? I've heard Amazon pays well and it seems like there would be interesting work to do. Is the environment bad or do peo…

Your career is definitely not shot. I've known people who completely bailed on their first job out of college within a few weeks and bounced back on their feet almost immediately. …

You will probably want to work with a business broker. These are two that I know of that have a listing of businesses for sale: http://feinternational.com/buy-a-website/ http://emp…

Some people work better with daily accountability and need help breaking up tasks so they don't get overwhelmed. I worked for a boss that managed this way and no one felt micromana…

Develop a process that adds more openness and accountability. Hold a 15 minute daily standup meeting where each developer shares what they accomplished the previous day and what th…

I agree with this approach more than the common wisdom on this site that you should not name a number first. Pick a salary that you would be happy making given the desirability of …

I think Google's history of shutting down products would keep me from picking Google Cloud for a major project. If Google Cloud continues to lag behind the market, you have to thin…

I would start looking for a new job immediately, but stay in your current job until you have something lined up. It's much easier to find a new job when you are already employed. R…

I'm just a college basketball fan that likes statistics and finds it worth $20/year for his analysis. I have season tickets to a college basketball team and I like to see informati…

I'm not sure if this site qualifies as "small" enough, but I think Ken Pomeroy does pretty well with his site kenpom.com. He takes college basketball box scores, runs a cron job th…

Another group that this helps are colleges and universities. Universities love foreign students because they pay full price and have to be able to afford tuition before they can ev…

Interesting! I didn't know that Intel had such a feature. Most vanilla apps will run fine on any Android JVM, but I was wondering how Intel was going to support apps that use the n…

I thought that was strange as well. Any phone or tablet app in the Play Store that uses native code will not be compatible. I'm guessing they did this to make it more attractive to…

I'll bet the average wait time for the line shrinks dramatically if the court rules in the worker's favor. As it stands now, Integrity/Amazon have no incentive to adequately staff …

SQLite is also used in many embedded systems. If you plug in a USB drive to my TV, it creates a SQLite database to keep track of the current position of the video files it plays.

I used to have an HSBC card that offered 2% cash back on weekend purchases. Capital One acquired HSBC's accounts a few years ago and no longer offers that deal.

It was on my old blog which is no longer online. I'll see if I can find the article in my backups and post it somewhere. I should probably do the analysis again since my original t…

I did an analysis on the accurate of Zestimates a few years ago. I took sales data for my county from the previous month (that Zillow had not imported yet) and compared it to the Z…

It's not a web site, but I would recommend subscribing to Jack Ganssle's Embedded News e-mail newsletter: http://www.ganssle.com/tem-subunsub.html . There are usually one or two jo…
