I don't understand the imperfect information thing. The whole game is assuming what the other player is attempting to do. Can't the other player not acting how you predicted be considered a bug? Or is this more formally defined than I'm aware of?

Well I'm sure said things didn't just get thrown away lol

I'm not sure if the imgur people are just expressing their opinions that this is stupid and just assuming that no one can be that stupid or if a few are more informed than a Microsoft tech (awful but not surprising) but the comments there seem to lean toward this support person being incorrect.

This is awesome!

How do these drug tests work? I was under the impression that drug tests only found things that they were looking for. How did they know to be looking for this new drug? I'm googling to try to figure it out but maybe someone is familiar with this process?

Which is why people want to block them completely lol

Aside from ads, mobile websites in general are complete garbage. So then adding a banner to the bottom is just icing on the cake.

Why would you not use it? You can annoy your user with it and not have the concern of being blocked by some stupid popup blocker? Do you want to take a survey? Sign up for my newsletter? I know it's your first time on the site and you didn't even get to the content yet but SERIOUSLY I NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.

The network that picked up that task was just a little wacky. No big deal. Look the other way. Please ignore. whistle

lol

It's not about the fact that the Jeep was hackable it's about the fact that the demonstration was done on a crowded highway with civilians around.

I agree with your move. Not sure who else was supporting you so I figured I'd offer my support. This was stupid as hell and I'm sure was likely set-up/suggested by Wired as a shock film.

Yeah people only want to make their sites flashy and fancy. It's crap. Half of the time the content is hidden behind some stupid fancy animation or modal window.

This!!!!!!! I can't stand these sites!!!!

I've been interested in this but, as of now, it's completely unaffordable. :-(

HackerNews effect :-( Site is down.

I did this plus also testing [1 1.5 2]

You just saying that has elevated my blood pressure. Firefox does the same thing. GRRR haha

Probably too many zeros there. A great deal of Americans would probably do it for $50.

It's like TV without a DVR. It's like "People actually SIT THROUGH THIS SHIT?"

IMO, if I downloaded something that is supposed to block the ads, I don't want the damn ads. I've not used ABP in a while but I'd be pretty pissed if it started loading ads again just because the people had paid for it. They had to figure out some way to make money, though, I guess.

This is what I was thinking as well! The explanation is good but it's the actual steps of the algorithm that are the difficult part!

Amazing!

Way to look on the bright side!

Agreed.

Except for the fact that it's barking up the wrong tree. This likely won't change anything. It'll just make a new programming market. Now, instead of people going "I don't want to learn to code, I'll just hire a developer." they'll go "I don't want to learn to write a website, I'll just hire a developer".

If someone doesn't want to dig in to building something for themselves they won't no matter how easy you make the tools. WYSIWYG editors have been around for decades but programmers still have a job. They've gone from writing crazy cobol to doing .net but they are still doing it.

Haha bubble's site did the same thing. Seems like a stable platform.

No man, who needs engineers now. We can make a registration button that gives an error. That's all you really need to write a website isn't it?

"Ran into a temporary bug..." lol

Yay for frontpage 2.0. All this seems to do is make it easier for people to not better themselves. "What's this? I can make a website without having to learn anything?! Great! Let me put a million animated gifs on here!"

Especially at the rate that batteries degrade. It'll be no time before you're getting 3-4 minutes per charge!
