One major issue is that the "standard" favicon size has historically been 16x16 pixels... which, in the age of high density displays will render either comically small or comically blurry. There are other meta tags like Apple's "apple-touch-icon" which has some higher resolution options. But already you can see the logic here isn't trivial.

Following up, I plugged in the data from here into Excel: http://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-historical-prices/table/by-yea...

Some observations:

  -there are 122 24-year windows in the dataset
  -not a single 24-year period had a negative return
  -the lowest average return for a 24-year window was 0.15% in the window from 1874-1897
  -there have been only two 24-year windows since 1876 with average annualized returns less than 2%
  -every window since 1912 has been at least 3%
  -every window since 1968 has been at least 7.1% (the author's assumption)
  -every window since 1971 has been at least 8%
Note that this doesn't take inflation into account, but also does not factor in the returns from reinvested dividends. Those effects would probably approximately cancel each other out, but hard to say.

I know right? I can't believe poor people don't just ask for more money. Then they wouldn't have to be poor! It's so simple!

You can totally scroll the month view in OS X Calendar in Yosemite and center it on whatever week you want (might require a trackpad / magic mouse).

"they won’t be able to communicate again until the game is over."

Clearly, this would be a form of communication between the prisoners.

Very cool alternative to PHPMyAdmin. They'd have to add support for foreign keys for me to make the switch though. Also, I'm not sure it actually uses any AJAX at all (at least not that I've noticed). Lots of pretty JavaScript though. shrugs
