I would recommend the events posted in the CouchSurfing.org forums. Or, if you prefer, can also contact people directly on CS and suggest meeting up.

Google Babble would have been exciting a few years ago. Right now, however, I'm already on iMessage/WeChat/Skype/FB Chat/Whatsapp, which is too much, really. Since I don't already use any of Google's chat platforms, I'm going to avoid Babbl

I don't have a moral problem with suicide. Like I mention elsewhere, in my country euthanasia is sometimes administered to people with certain types of depression. I think that's fine (if weirdly bureaucratic). Thing is, often people who ar

I don't think Japan and the USA are very comparable. In fact, I think insofar modern countries are concerned you'd be hard pressed to find two countries that are more different than Japan and the USA!

Wow. Am I get downvoted for pointing out a fallacy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_fallacy

It doesn't mean you have to make it easy to do impulsively. You can also legalize euthanasia in case of severe, chronic depression, like in some European countries.

I would imagine that to be the case. Witness how many people report being unable to distinguish people from ethnicities that they're not used to interacting with.

I disagree. Allowing more people to see a post is already possible by adding people to the circles that you shared the post with.

Bing is great… unless you travel. It fails for many countries. Even for major cities in China it will only show the main roads.

I'm a big fan of Clojure but I think this is true. I expect that in this decade we'll start seeing a shift to programming languages with so-called algebraic type systems. Java, Python, Ruby, and Clojure will seem outdated just like C++ seem

Really, really cool! I've toyed with the idea of doing pattern matching (and graph rewriting) on the GPU before but this looks like it's much more advanced than I thought was feasible. I'm surprised they went with CUDA instead of OpenCL tho

You probably mean Reeder instead of Reader. It's my favorite RSS app. FWIW, the author has stated the app will continue working after Google Reader disappears. I don't know about the details.
