that is why you never should trust the average anything


Or have more accurate valuation techniques. "Last settlement price" is a really, really, bad way to ascertain "value". They should be looking at the market depth of demanded prices, etc.


Well, it wasn't last settlement price, it was average. It's just that nobody traded in these items so completing even a single transaction practically sets the price.


Somebody from teh c-level said, cmon we need to release the addon. Don't waste your time on mathematics ...


here is the installation url: https://reddittimemline.appspot.com/


author: "So I go to work today, and think to myself, today I’m going to be productive employee, attend a few meetings, make that deadline, commit some code, but NOPE, gotta click all those Reddit links. Then there’s Glass, with no compelling reason to use while at the office or work, it sits tucked away inside the desk drawer. That’s all about to change, because now you can get pictures of cats and memes and _gonewild beamed directly to your face without anyone suspecting a thing."


Google or someone on kickstarter should make a clip for google glass, so we can put it on and off in a matter of seconds. Don't want to carry a second prescription glass around


Google has said they're working on Glass hardware that'll clip onto regular prescription glasses.


yes people were wondering if it was only code for the future hardware variants on google glass but Mike did it https://plus.google.com/116031914637788986927/posts/MsVDT735...


The Hacker/Developer says: "It's a very different experience taking a picture of someone with Glass vs a phone or even a plain old camera. Looking directly at a person instead of through a viewfinder has a huge psychological difference."


take a standard text and replace [keyword] with any trending topic, make a landing page


yes of course. There are many people without a car, mobile phone or a pension. There are many ways of live that can be enjoyable. But everything come with a certain risk that can be minimized with technology.


looking at the stars and taking pictures while holding your girlfriend with both hands and not fiddling with your camera


Certainly a winner at the "hyper competitive dickhead" experience.


it is the same thing with being able to google really well.

I was about 1000% more efficient than my coworkers at new things, ways and information because I googled fast and found the information.


This. The ability to Google efficiently is severely underrated.


Do you (or someone) know about any tutorial or a book for learning how to google? Is "how to google" only about phrasing queries, using correct words, improving query using results from its previous version, using quotes, and so on, or is it something more?


Using my google-fu ;) I found this link which may or may not be any good(http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html).

I have never used operators myself, I think just the way you structure and choose your words wisely has the most impact.


!true! and people don't listen when I tell them to learn and try to google everything before trying to find your own solution. You better improve on what other people already did and thought about


The fact that Googling efficiently is a skill that matters is a clear opportunity for a Google competitor.


How so? Any Google competitor will either have similar syntax (so the "google-fu" will translate and you might as well just use Google), or different syntax (and then you have to learn another search engine who probably has worse results anyways).

(To) Google nowadays is so generalized as to mean "search the internet for something". That's a valuable skill no matter what your engine of choice is.
