Not a website, but I miss IRC from the early/mid 90's. I managed to discover it via mIRC and spent a lot of time chatting with other kids from around the world (in lieu of face to face communication of course). It exposed me to a

It sounds like lonely people are adapted to being lonely by reducing viral defenses (unnecessary without people around) and increasing bacterial (inflammatory) defenses. It would be interesting to test this in a third group of people whom I

I'm a big fan of Skeptoid ( http://www.skeptoid.com ). Brian does a great job of telling the story of many popular pseudoscientific/conspiratorial/unexplained things and then addresses them with evidence and scienti

Yep, that's where I'd go if forced to. I've seen some pretty nice screenshots from the newest window managers of late. I value design and ease of use quite a bit though and the number of complaints about things not working or

Wow, what a torrent of negativity on this thread, I didn't see a single positive comment reading through the top level. This is excellent news, I'm chugging along on a 2010 Mac Pro and was very disappointed when the Apple Displays

This is advertising, it doesn't belong on a discussion forum. It makes me much less likely to use Google Cloud.

I am really really excited about lab grown meat making it into the mass market and ultimately becoming cheaper than traditional meat. The environmental benefits will be insane; how much of the earth is currently devoted to either raising an

I've received several thank you's from musicians after purchasing their discography for like $15. It really feels like you're directly supporting them and is one of the main reasons I love Bandcamp!

I've been an IRC user since 1996 and still going strong. There have been many chat networks that have come and gone, but IRC, by virtue of being a protocol rather than a commercial venture, lives on. These days, I use Textual on OS X w

This is a shame, I love using Evernote but not enough to pay $50USD/year for it. I use it as a reference point for various software/commands and it's quite convenient that it sync's across all my devices. The encrypted t

I've been very happy using DuckDuckGo ( https://duckduckgo.com ) over the last year. I find I need to refer to google for maybe 1% of my searches, usually for specialized technical topics.

As a kiwi living in Australia and quietly working on a bootstrapped startup, I'm keen to hear more about this. Is NZ really a good place for a startup? Is there any government support that doesn't involve giving up equity?
