I had only met him in person once, but he was clearly a great human being. I'll remember the drinks we shared.

Frankly I find refering "30 kay secs" (for 30 killoseconds) easier and more convenient than "3 myriasecs". Wolfram Alpha does support myriaseconds, and abbreviates as "mas" which isn't bad. I actually find

Initially I thought that the same sort of thing can be accomplished with something like JsFiddle, but then I realized that for more complex libraries or frameworks that require multiple files this would be much better.

The Israeli military uses these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitznefet_(Israeli_military) They're big floppy hats that go on top of the helmet to prevent the classic helmet silhouette look. Works better because human bodies aren't quite

A lot of the conversation around this talks about the Internet. Note this from the article: Raza said he lost what few friends he had in the fallout, and had to change schools. “In the common room, students climbed onto tabletops to i

The last several months in Silicon Valley I do not remember the last time I went outside for more than 5 minutes and not seen a Tesla. I noticed about a week ago I stopped caring, much as I do not especially remark on noticing a Honda or a

Most private health insurance in the US is provided by employers. Thus, the people paying for the services are not the patients but insurance companies, and the insurance companies are selected by employers not the patients.

Yes... they change it to the original unless it's really clear the original change was super necessary. In cases when the original title tells you nothing of the content, they change it to something useful. Seems like a pretty transparent

I've finally put my finger on what's been rubbing me the wrong about these. Although these are mostly factual and non-sensational, they smack of cable-news disease. The sort of preoccupation with a continuous update that has people glued to

This "transparency" of Flask is exactly what made it my go-to web framework. I can do common things easily, and when it's time to do uncommon things I can figure out what Flask is doing at every level of abstraction. It also seems designed

I think this wasn't a case of middlebrow dismissal which you rightly rail against. The original comment seems to be directly complaining about the style of the author rather than just dismissing it off hand. When it comes to Morozov this is

I like a lot of this approach. But, please replace the pie charts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_chart#Use.2C_effectiveness_... Humans aren't that good at telling more than very rough ratios in angle rather than length. Yes, when the d

I think it's clear in this case Violet Blue isn't a cause or direct antecedent of drama, regardless of her history. Her post above, to me, sounds like she was basically talking to a middleman who didn't convey the message from the Ada Initi

Mods, wefunder, whomever: the similarity of your names is making people think this is the home page of Wevorce rather than an article about the founder and company. Either make it clear at the top of the article page, or in the title here.

The translation of the Facebook wall post seems incorrect. It's also in Russian and not Ukrainian. Here's my go at it: You damn egoist, pick up the phone. Who will take care of [your?] mother?! At least sell your source code and fuck off to

I really hate to be a "genre pedant", but Dubstep is a descendant of garage, dub, drum and bass and a few other styles from the very late 90s early 00s in England. "Early techno" is Detroit in the 80s. If you're correcting someone on nomenc

I think it's more likely that Vayable just "grew at the same rate", where "rate" should really be "amount". 30% of 70 is 21 and April 2011 is about 86 weeks ago. 21*86 = 1806, so a rough projection of 1876 guides. The vayable website promis

Several admissions officers at Ivy league universities have admitted that because they get so many applications of similar-profile asian-americans (high grades, similar extracuriculars) they hold them to a "higher standard" than similarly-a
