In order to stay safe from the government, 1. Don't buy sparkling water if you're a college student 2. Don't bet with friends because an arbitrary threshold of about $2k warrants your execution 3. Don't tell American cit

Anyone notice the parallels between this and the transcendentalist movement?

It's only illegal for him to say such a thing if he also has a few machine guns and other preparations ready to go. Such statements, even with the appended "jk lol," deserve question. But I don't see how authorities mana

Haha, yes. Their "We don't mind if you exercise your rights this time" attitude is unnerving. Actually, it's pretty funny. What's the other option (besides not even acknowledging the demonstrations, which is the m

When I read the title, I thought, "Hey, that sounds just like me." But after reading it, I realized that his use of "perfectionism" as an excuse is just incomplete. Perfectionism can explain underperformance, certainly.

Can an unbiased person explain to me how this revelation is a threat to national security? Are terrorists going to stop saying, "Ok we blow up white house tonight!" over Skype or something? Are people just afraid of the bad public

My grandfather died of ALS a few years ago in his late 70s. It's sad and ironic, but he was a runner until the last three or four months of his life, when the disease rapidly crippled him and took his life. He was the sort of guy you w

Yeah. Flat designs are boring -- I never end up on the floor, convulsing, when I scroll through a flat website.

It's a brilliant design (far beyond its aesthetic novelty), and quite frankly I could care less that they lock things up or spy on me. Make sure to copy and paste your little comment on every Windows PC/phone/tablet announcem

Am I an overly-cautious nubcake, or do any of you also refrain from clicking the link when it says, "We've been compromised. Come visit our site!"? If I were a mean dude who hacked into some prominent site, the first thing I would do is su

Does anyone know how they do this, technically, and to what extent? Does Google just feed them billions of emails, or what? Do they type my name into a form on Amazon.com to get SSH access my EC2 server? And how the hell do they see my fina

Your last sentence explains it all. Basically, the majority of people cannot appreciate art. Abstract ideas and brilliant commentary are simply not valued by the majority as much as a working system, even if it's as obvious a concept as Fac

You ruined this masterpiece with the Taylor Swift reference. Actually, just kidding. You couldn't ruin this if you devoted a paragraph to explain, out of the blue, that Taylor Swift is a superior musician to Thom Yorke. And if you did, I wo

Sorry, didn't mean to come across like that. I'm an introvert myself. I just respect people who are comfortable with themselves more than I respect those who hold envious contempt for others and make excuses like "I'm just above everyone el

Your second paragraph is freaking me out a bit. I don't want to believe it, but it makes sense, and history seems to support it. My theory, though, is that the smart, courageous, creative, curious, passionate people with a strong "EQ" aren'

I hope they can patent this just so they're not ripped off by big generic companies. It's a great idea.

I'm impressed that the student thought it through, but people are giving the grader too much of a hard time. If the question was instead, "If a machine can produce 2 cars in 10 minutes, how long does it take to produce 3 cars?" the teacher

That's awesome. In most MMOs, you would be permanently banned for doing something like that. And EVE actually encourages it. In the world of MMOs, that's great publicity - it really sets them apart, I think
