From the article: > But [the app] doesn’t do so by hacking into Tinder, or even by “scraping” the app manually. Instead, it searches the database using Tinder’s official API, which is intended for use by third-party developers who want t

I agree that the US has its own problems. But they are on a totally different level from China's. If we lived in China, we couldn't even have this debate about problems, let alone advocate for them to be fixed...

I really like Scala. It is a really interesting language, and a productive one for me to program in. However, I agree that implicits are a bad feature. 90% of the confusing bits of Scala are because implicits exist and are, well, implicit.

I disagree with that sentiment. Constant to me implies decided at compile time. The reason we should use "val" is because it is a short abbreviation everybody gets. It also has symmetry with "var," as "value" a

As far as val vs let goes, I actually prefer val, because it has symmetry with var. That is to say "variable foo" is more similar to "value foo" than "let foo," since "value" is an adjective like &quo

I'm not sure it really is as pandering as you make it out to be. In some places I wasn't sure what the author thought of TED at all. For example, this sentence is particularly pointed: "Where an audience that gave a standing

I think you are slightly misrepresenting the author. His sarcastic comment about "bulletproof moral guidelines" seems to indicate that he isn't proud of this particular moral transgression. And while I don't think he was

I feel like this raises an interesting question. I feel like it is a good thing that one can read the source of any of the code running in your browser, since it is all Javascript. However, I also don't like the fact that Javascript is

If I'm not mistaken Ramanujan received a PhD at the age of 29. Sure, he came from a non-traditional background, and did some amazing math before his PhD. However, it was only after he studied at University that his writing was clear en

This article seems a bit aggressive about its point. Sure, the "Google Car" was super overhyped, and probably will never be a consumer product. However, there is no doubt that Google's software has pushed the idea of a self-d

That's really interesting! I have only a passing education in quantum computers, which is why my comment is so devoid of detail... I really should learn more.

To address just one of your points, quantum computation is not a silver bullet. It does not work the way one might think it works. Not many researchers are saying that they will replace classical computers, and for good reason. For many, or

I think his point is that the Sweden Democrats are perceived as being terrible people, so no one wants to be on their side of this issue.

I think it is a little more grey than you are describing it. The article notes that there was a "points" system among students, for who could collect the "best" nudes. I think that is pretty wrong. I also feel like peer

I'm torn about whether or not sexting is a legitimate problem... Very many teens do it with mutual consent, and for older teens it really shouldn't be illegal at all. But I do think that, to some extent, younger teenagers need to

I don't think this a case of the car being so careful that it got pulled over. It mentions in the article that Google artificially capped the speed of the prototype to 25mph. That implies that the car is able and willing to go faster,

I read the paper before I finished the article, and I really didn't like the abstract. Reading the original abstract in the article, it makes me sad that it was made so much worse.

I'm sorry, the cofounder's testimonial cracked me up: “Floobits works pretty well most of the time.” In all seriousness, this looks like a pretty cool Atom plugin. I've been using Atom as my editor of choice for a while now.

Wow, what stupid/terrible thing to do. I can't believe someone would seriously think that assaulting Tesla's employees is a good strategy to escape being prosecuted...

This is an interesting presentation of a non-trivial problem. Does anyone know of any good resources for learning more about color spaces?

As an aside, it annoys me when people straw-man economists. It is of little consequence, but obviously any economist who studied the situation would understand at once why producers are incentivized to do this.

I don't think that people should label disorders diagnosed by real psychologists as "pseudo-diseases". As far as ADHD being a US disease, can I link to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC15

I think that the chance of this becoming prevalent is low. While it has its merit as a representation, floating point is already "good enough" for most computations. More importantly, it is ubiquitous. Additionally, I don't k

I quite like anltr4's ALL(*) parsing. It always seems to hit the spot between reasonable speed and user friendliness. http://www.antlr.org/papers/allstar-techreport.pdf
