You can use some form of leverage to allow the possibility of 1000x jackpots by using leverage - options, leveraged ETFs etc.

You can get a 30 mortgage, as long as you have 20% down (so you don't need CMHC insurance).

The real reason why shorting the banks won't work is that with less than 20% down the CMHC insures that the lender will get their money back. For thenon-insured mortgages, the banks can also go after other assets since all Canadian mortgages are recourse loans.

The IRS doesn't pass laws, it's just issuing a guideline on how it will interpret existing tax law.

Here is a simple model for hedge fund fees:

1. There are some people who can reliably generate alpha -- returns in excess of the market return -- but those people are rare.

2. It is somewhat difficult to tell who those people are; in particular, at any given time, there are more people who look like they can generate alpha than who actually can.

3. If you are one of the people who can generate alpha, you should charge a fee for your services that is equal to the alpha that you generate.

4. If you are not one of those people, you should charge a fee equal to the alpha that those people generate, because then investors might think that you're one of them. "

It sounds like they have made the pump pump at the same time his heart beats.

To get the diversification benefit from holding the bond fund, you'd need to rebalance (every few months to every few years).

It sounds like you don't even need the hard part for a viable product: range extender for cell phones targeted at people engaged in outdoor activities but parked somewhere with cell phone reception.

Insurance companies would start charging more for letting potential buyers drive your car.

I use a mobile app for Anki, and I have audio for some of my flashcards.

The fuel requirement was pre-assigned (for every other model of plane in the Air Canada fleet) to the flight engineer. Who that requirement was assigned to for this one model of plane wasn't really clear in the article.

Free market basics would be "this it the current price for your services, would like you like to provide supply at this price?". This is more like your boss telling you to get back to work because it's busy.

Obvious next step: compress and pad to original length.

He owns the negatives. I don't think the article discusses the copyright.

It could happen if pushed by the companies that make the ATMs, rather than the banks.

Actually, it's pretty simple to use Markov chains to calculate the expected time spent as each property in Monopoly.

I think Dropbox should pay developers to do this. You already have n apps storing x MB of data on Dropbox, sign up now for a free account!

Somehow I don't think spending $500000 on these t-shirt designs would be a good idea (compared to generating them with an algorithm).

You don't need their database, you just need to record some background noise (assuming that you can replace the hum in your recording with another one).

You seriously expect your car's auto-headlight-dimming feature to be regularly inspected?

The result wouldn't have been same according to testimony from the article: some people that would've fled due to the tremors stayed due to the reassurances.

It would have to an extremely powerful magnet though, since it can't be right below the router.

Is it clear that Padmapper is bound by the TOU of CL? Padmapper probably has a contractual relationship with 3Taps, and Google probably has a contractual relationship with CL. I'm not sure 3Taps has entered into a contractual relationship with Google by scraping their cache, but even if they did, what is the legal agreement between CL and Padmapper?

You can sign up for MSN messenger with any email address.

It doesn't. But the alternative, not watching the show, doesn't either. He also never claims that his actions would benefit anybody. (You probably have the moral high ground here, I just don't agree with this argument.)

It's not bad for the client. They wanted to short, and they did. Also, there are now non-existent shares being traded which artificially depresses the price, which is good if you shorted the stock.

No. If someone bought all the traded shares of overstock.com at a particular point in time, they would've bought 107% of the available shares. So it would be impossible for all their shares to get delivered.

If the bounds are specified, just run the forward problem once to get two lists (3,5,6) and (fizz,buzz,fizz), then find the "substring" you want in the second list.

Edit: you don't even need to specify the bounds, just run the forward algorithm for a large enough range (length of input list x 15 will be more than sufficient).
