$5/hr * 40 hrs/week * 50 weeks/yr = $10,000/yr salary is not really enough to survive. $15/$5 * $10,000/yr = $30,000/yr is. The point is not to make minimum-wage workers rich -- just enough so that they should be able to survive without hav

What similar things would people like to be able to do using a photo? Does anyone know of other fields where people have to identify things using a cumbersome book, etc.?

It's sort of grown slowly but steadily for me...I mean I started with a few bands I had heard at friend's places or heard good things about. Then I went to their live shows, where I liked some of the openers, or read some review where they

I'm probably going to come off as a pretentious hipster by saying this, but I completely disagree -- I think there is more high-quality music of all types being made now than ever before. The difference is that the good stuff is now rarely

But this is only the latest in a long list of events that has flooded twitter with useless/false/panicky/retarded comments. Do they censor/moderate all stories? Or none? It seems hard to draw a line in between (blatant illegality aside)...

Yes. This is fairly common in the sciences, because all the good people always know the important problems in their field and are constantly trying to figure out how to tackle them. Then, when a new technique is discovered (perhaps in a sli
