   Not that it provides much statistical evidence, but the wikipedia[0] article (regarding the 19 year old girl) talking about the coyotes specifically mentions how coyotes didn't use to be in that area of Canada, but were likely there as

   First off, I think this technique is completely true, in my own experience. However, I think this isn't the end-all lie detector, in that you have to know what to have the subject tell a story about. Take the issue of national security

   Hey everyone! I just wanted to add a little back story to DB1 I developed DB1 mostly this summer and put a lot of work into figuring how to do the various parts of it. I posted it here looking for as much feedback as I can get on the variou

   To be honest the pricing was something I really struggled with. I finally ended up settling on that price as it was similar[0] to some of the other database clients on the market, and similar to the pricing of other Sublime Text plugins. Af

   Yeah, and that's the thing. If I do have bugs, I'd rather know about them and potentially let someone else learn from them, than simply solving security through it being closed source (the definition of "security through obsc

    While Mediums (Jay Carney's) article has a fair point, in that once you look at article under a microscope its conclusions start to fall apart, I think Jay may have missed what the article is. The authors knew from the get-go that th

    I'd disagree strongly. I think the point of the paper was the evolutionary algorithms. Whether or not the wheels could adequately replace a modern bicycle wheel is kind of a side note. The work was entirely about creating a program tha

    This is cool. I like how simple it is. Also, I just learned about SPF records from this. I didn't realize there was a DNS related[0] mechanism of preventing spam. Kinda neat. As an alternative to this, if you'd like a little finer

    I've been using Anonymous Pro[0] for as long as I've known about it. I think I think Anonymous slightly more than Hack. On a different note, while this might sound like a silly gripe, I really don't like the "r"s in

    I think one of the biggest issues fusion power needs to deal with is whether or not it's worth the money. Renewable energy has gained serious momentum in the past years, and while it takes up significantly more land-mass-mass (things l

    I've been curious about React for awhile now, but every time I step in to play around with it, I get really turned off by the syntax. This is a react render function mentioned in the tutorial (gist with all code here[0]): render()

    I grew up in St. Louis and I found out about chemical testing[0] that went on here awhile ago. I think the scariest part was that I'm sure it was specifically tested in a low-income area purposely, because the people there could probab

    Exactly my point. I'm just excited because It seems to me that this is the first time JPS has open sourced something directly to the ST community, with the idea that they will continue to develop and maintain it. I'd really like t

    I think people started really pushing for an open source ST when JPS kind of disappeared for a year and a half. While he pushed out a few bug fixes[0], you can also see he only pushed out one ST3 update during 2014. Because of this, I think

    Here's the ST forum announcement[0] from June 16th. This is a good step in the right direction for ST. It seems that JPS is increasingly relying on the open source community for ST development, which could lead to some awesome developm
