I'm torn on this. On one hand, screw all the rioters. On the other hand, what exactly will they do with these pictures? The second shows a guy with his arm around his friend, holding a bottle of soda in the other hand. His face is uncovered

I've been following design and construction of the Clock for years now and it's great to see such progress being made. I can't find them now but there have been a number of very interesting articles through the years looking at finding 10K

I'm glad to see an actual "famous" person respond to this. Even as a "normal" person I find this approach insane. People don't like aggressive pan-handlers following them asking for money, I don't see why anyone would like aggressive over-e

I agree with the other commenters, I love PadMapper. Helped me find a great place when I moved to San Diego. Has CL shut down people who used their data but played by the rules of not overloading their servers or other API rudeness?

I've always thought that our conception of "free will" is flawed. In the case of the article you list, I don't see that as evidence against free will. There's no homunculus in your subconscious making decisions for you that you don't have a

Where did you find this "co-founder"? It really sounds like what you want is an employee you can boss around. Did you ask around for a geek you can give requirements to like so so many other "business guys" do who think they have a great id
