Yeah, I think people tend to make assumptions about the competence of others with regards to the tools that they personally are so adept at using that the action has become mostly subconscious. I do it myself all of the time. It seems to b

> 60 words a minute is still very slow, when it comes to thinking speed. Well, undoubtedly... Although I don't think you can apply a 'word per minute' count to thought in any accurate manner. After all, words are just a me

There's a 'format' option in the top left, you can select text/image/pdf. Here's it in text form[0] [0]- http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/mqrarchive/act2080.0035.002/10?v...

That isn't necessarily true... If you add the conditional, "and other businesses in that vertical don't subsidize in the same manner"; than yeah, that's closer to a true statement, although still not entirely so.

Is this sarcasm? He clearly knew that earbits.com was the desired destination, he's just pointing out how un-intuitive the process of getting there is for a potential new user. You know, someone who might have wanted to try-out/ex

Can't help but see, MLIABO, AIAQC as an initial-ism of My Life Is All But Over, And I Am Quite Content, or some permutation therein. Likely false. Also interesting how that sideways '<' shape with an X through it appears t

Then why is it so onerous to tick the 'never translate this language' option and then simply right click and click 'translate' when it's needed....

I don't how this could be seen as something going wrong? From my perspective the vast majority of programming is solving issues that have already been solved multiple times. It's not like this is the first solution there's ev

No, it was because incognito tabs don't have access to browser history. This web-app's functionality is based entirely on browser history and has nothing to do with 're-marketing cookies' or other 'markers'. No

What do you mean? These red boxes are links to sites you've visited in the past, they aren't showing up in Firefox or Safari because you don't have any of those sites in your browser history. This works by showing you a grid,

I think I disagree. I see no definitive/logical reason for establishing an upper-bound on innovation. The past several centuries are a testament to the fact that biological evolution and human innovation have a symbiotic relationship^1

Ha, nice; sometimes it seems as if any concept I internally stumble upon(albeit only tangentially related in this case) has already been thoroughly fleshed out and eloquently described by a more intelligent mind than my own. You are gloriou

It's interesting how 'we' as a society build up archetypes about the different sciences(and, well, everything really) and instead of fostering and promoting innovation in those areas we oftentimes question/demean/di

I'd say product releases could introduce a significant amount of variance.

Yep, this very possibility is stated near the end of the article. "That’s probably not the full story—immigration and fertility changes play a role too, after all."

Yeah, I dislike comments like the parent comment. The statement is clearly based on his/her own intuitive understanding based on anecdotal experience; something that can be useful in forming-opinions/developing-understanding , but

The best trolls are those that are identifiable to the well informed observer while remaining seemingly genuine to the community at large.

Nice! I like that a lot better, in terms of my comprehension. I get your point, can see that you have an understanding of the subject matter as well as anecdotal evidence to support it, and understand your thought process in reaching that c

I didn't down-vote you(in fact I don't have the karma to do so), but I think the reason you were down-voted is because the intent of your statement is unclear. What I think you're trying to say is that while false captioning

Haha, this is a late reply, but you got me parsing that statement correctly, thanks :)

What does 'leveling' mean in this context?

Sorry for the tangent here, but I'm curious; how were they previously tracking customers paying with cash? Was it some form of membership with the store that would need to be provided on checkout?

Are you sure? I think it's definitely a significant enough amount to be mentioned with the others either way. Not to mention the fact that a users interaction with Facebook is completely different from their interaction with Apple. Mos

I found your terrible formatting far more bothersome than the parent comments name.

I'm curious as well, specifically how would you go about tailoring those metrics to different features as they're released. Seems like that could be a pretty awesome/multi-faceted question to see the raw data behind. That sai

Here's the talk[0] for anyone wondering; I'm watching it now. Thanks for referencing it, glad I watched it. Edit: So far this is a talk comparing computer systems to the human genome in a somewhat abstract manner. Sussman is the

The company site has zero reference to his past and is registered under his birth name(different from his stage name), so I don't think that's a card he plans on playing. Do you think he could really have an opportunity to receive

Agreed(that grouping consumers into a single entity is bad), sorry for the (aggressive? condescending?) tone of my comment.

Could you use the expression in context? If you're saying e.g., "I got this pdf offline", I would argue your usage is incorrect and that saying, "I downloaded this pdf","got it online", or some variant wou
