I remember an LA Times story where they compared the top 10 shows black people watched versus ones white people watched, and they were very different (60 Minutes and Friends, not so much). So there might be opportunity in a better-curated V

Here is an interview with them, from July: http://www.dumdumzine.com/text-message-interview-with-witchs... Their personalities seem pretty effervescent. This might also have contributed to the need to create a persona who j

This essay is just bad. In section 1 the author presupposes that the facts presented in the original post are false (but then fluffs on presenting any evidence for this). Maybe he's right! If someone else writes that piece, it would be

Between this and their terrible search and filling up all the white space with ads, it's clear that a FB replacement is nigh.

Usually tedium is what happens when literary novelists experiment with Sci-Fi. And the same when SF novelists try to get too lit'rary. Atwood has a couple of corkers though.

I worry that this could cause Slack to use a lot of memory.

In my case I'm pretty sure a horrible yellow-brown shag carpet was the reason I paid less than list for my house (I removed it as soon as I got the key and was delighted to find hardwood floors underneath).

It's neat to think of the buildmasters coming up with a part count of (say) 1985 and realizing, "Hey, we could..."

It seems like a nothing to me. He didn't say, "publish any thing with p>0.05," but rather, "see if there's something interesting."

In the Bay Area, at least, shows will have multiple supporter mentions which are basically brand endorsements, a la, "Brought to you by ADM, Supermarket to the World! And GE, bringing good things to life."

The spoiler is pretty general, but if you've already decided to get the book, the rest of the interview can be skipped. They don't reveal the contents of the Voynich manuscript or anything.

One way to start "spreading high-paying technology jobs around the country" would be to advocate for distributing H1-B jobs via auction, rather than lottery. Perhaps the union could work on this!
