   log(mean_realized_income) ~ log(mean_expected_future_income)

And yes, the paper talked about randomization. It also pointed out the magnitude of randomization required was larger than expected.

I posted this yesterday, with the conjecture that it may have been a sudden sync problem. It's a good read.

   Also how do you meet programming partners.

My advice is to go find find some open source projects that tackle a problem you find interesting and contribute. In the process of working on open source projects, you'll find people that you can work with well. They might be useful in the future.

2) While caching DNS record, when freshing up a stale record,

  if(isknownSeizureDomain(record)) ignore();

If I saw this and was at a company like OpenDNS, I'd start considering saying "No. Sorry. We're going reverting back to the last good record." The federal government might have technical jurisdiction, and U.S. customers might technically be violating U.S. laws but the ability of the federal government to seize internet properties terrifies me because it might set a national and international precedent. (Other countries already do this, but U.S. doing it kinda makes it globally sanctioned.) I'm terrified of a slippery slope, even though I usually find slippery slope arguments dubious. (Plus, I just think this is a dumb seizure to begin with...)

I can't speak of it's quality yet, but the original post lead me to stumble upon: http://www.musimathics.com/

...but maybe it's really about plain, dumb, and irrational nostalgia.

If there was a irc.ycombinator.com with real-time chat topics, it might help separate "the wheat from the chaff," so to speak.

E.G. #japan-nuclear-chat

If not a chat, I'd say focus on something that doesn't fight the size of the community. Personally, I'd prefer if HN was shrunk to like '08 levels, but that's not going to happen. I think adding a service that allows for water cooler talk but keeps it isolated from deep technical discussions would work better than karmic tinkering at this point.
