While it's a fun turn-the-tables idea, because government is so much bigger, with more power and resources, this would still be incredibly unequal. You might be able to track a dozen government officials; the FBI could track every member of

In addition to the delightful Little Schemer, I'd also recommend Project Euler problems, maybe work up to working through SICP or interesting bits in Art of Computer Programming.

Funny, I have a personal wiki page with a couple hundred words of notes about doing exactly this. Please drop an email when you want beta users. :)

I was at a comics store (Chicago Comics) yesterday when a pair of startup guys came in to pitch what sounded like a loyalty program. (I didn't catch the name, but they said something about users getting points called "pixels", if anybody re

Indeed, it may soon be impossible to make money selling buggy whips, and we should not ignore that.

"Find people around you app - Nobody wants to find people around them and meet them. Trust me." I've been runing a site the last five years for tabletop gamers to do exactly this. It's busier than ever, I'm spending my nights and weekends h

I certainly haven't been exhaustive, but after reading Taubes' Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat I pulled a couple dozen studies to read. Most were because I found his claims implausible, a few because they were just interestin

Without any clarification, this sounds like perfectly normal wiretapping. Is there any reason to think the police didn't obtain a warrant?

The fairly magic particles in Xenocide are based on Mormon theology, so if that's not compelling to you, the exposition of same in CotM is going to be pretty boring.

This was a problem for me, too. I found that naps over 16 minutes knock me out as you describe, naps under leave me very refreshed and alert. I set my alarm for 16m in a quiet environment, 17m if I'm in a noisier environment or heightened s

Instead of including if/then/else logic in the template, templates are duplicated for each branch and the logic is pushed up to the controller. This takes on hand-managing duplicate code (because there will discrepancies between the "logged

The author is Reginald Braithwaite; the movie has a character named Braithwaite who begins the plot. I wonder if this whole post is autobiographical or if the Williams/Kelly is just an old joke and Braithwaite is a coincidence.

I do origami. I especially find modular polyhedra, folding simple one piece over and over to assemble something beautiful.

I replied to one saying "Thank you for your continued interest, but I am no longer interested in having an employer." Maybe not those exact words, but close, and that short. Haven't heard from them in nearly two years, when it used to be ev

You really need an example on the homepage. I read the opening description and still don't feel like I understand how it works. What kind of mail would I get? Would I be able to turn it off? You say 'social network' - so, do I have friends,

What is it that makes the iPad a possible laptop replacement, but the Fire not? The iPad has an SDK and app store. The Kindle has an SDK that's been in closed beta for something like two years and a bookstore that also happens to sell app
