   I think my experience and satisfaction with Facebook has steadily decreased in a linear relationship with how many friends I have on my friends list. My guess is because: 1) the more friends I add, the more likely I am to add that guy on

   I know it's not exactly the same thing, but reminds me of this video from a while back: This App Turns Your Photos into Music If You Want to Do That For Some Reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpNgsU9o4ik

   Agreed that the post length limit shouldn't be removed. However, I am fine with a limited number of tweets instead. Perhaps not by day, since some days there are so many newsworthy events that there might be a lot of possible quality t

   I'm not sure how you define threaten, but I think that firing missiles over the island during election season ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Taiwan_Strait_Crisis ) definitely counts as a threatening act. Chin

    Very long read. TBH I only read the beginning and end carefully, and skimmed through the middle...200? pages. What really stuck out to me was this line that explains how racism benefits the Chinese government: "First, the Han Chinese p

    As skeptical as I am with Uber, I'm still hoping that something will come up with the investigation. It also encourages me that more people are speaking up. The more bad press they get, the more pressure they'll have to have their
