Not much math necessary for the explanation. Follow the link jaylevitt posted:

When the PIN authentication fails the access point will send an EAP-NACK message back to the client. The EAP-NACK messages are sent in a way that an attacker is able to determine if the first half of the PIN is correct. Also, the last digit of the PIN is known because it is a checksum for the PIN. This design greatly reduces the number of attempts needed to brute force the PIN. The number of attempts goes from 108 to 104 + 103 which is 11,000 attempts in total.

Split into four ordered leagues. Let the leagues last one week. In each league, promote the top two and relegate the bottom two.

If I produce 100 apples this year and 100 apples next year, my rate of change would be 0.

If you produce 5 apples this year and 10 apples next. You will have double your output.

However I will still have produced more than you.

It appears that there are two methods: 75% of the time it is PBSC, which is the 6 hour long blood donation. 25% of the time it is through surgery under general anesthesia. The doctor decides on which one based on the patient.

0.01% of 712M is 71200. </pedantic>

Your observations are pretty accurate.

I'd like to add that something similar to Urban Dictionary has existed for a very long time now (10+ years): eksizosluk.com. They had their fair share of trouble with litigation but mostly managed to protect free speech. In fact it is so successful that it spawned many clones, which themselves became very popular websites.

Content is the main bottleneck. Something like UD exists because it generates its own content, whereas HN or Reddit clones don't exist because there isn't enough Turkish material on the web. A good part of population doesn't understand English, and the ones who do, choose to assimilate in the more interesting English space (ahem).

The obvious question to your obvious question is that if it was possible, wouldn't there be one already?
