Thank you for mentioning this. I would have likely never heard about the tour in time otherwise; an upvote isn't enough good karma for you, sir/madame!

I think this is an approach that will serve you well in leveraging the SO ranking--cedsav mentions at least three skills that it demonstrates, and you should be able to expand on those (knowledgeable enough about Python to be able to unders

That indictment doesn't really provide much information other than what's in your third paragraph ("Ad Min" and "Dallas Smith"). It doesn't really serve as a refutation of anything in the petition, either

IIRC from a podcast interview with one of the founders, you swab a bit of your used toilet paper for the gut sample collection. The concept sounded pretty interesting, and it's on my list of things to do this year along with 23andme.

The auction had a reserve price of $10.25 billion, with optimistic expectations at less that half of the ultimate closing bid total. The spectrum available for bidding was in the 1695-1710 MHz, 1755-1780 MHz, and 2155-2180 MHz bands.

That is pretty slick. I've had a Squeezebox for years, but it's not too helpful for Youtube benders. For now, I've just got audio out from the TV to the stereo which works fine for casting. The audio's not hi-def but

This is a good point--I would phrase it as whatever over-arching organizing value set or decision-making framework you choose to use (whether it be "go with your gut", Rationality Uber Alles, WWJD?, "don't be a dick&quot

Ah, well I wasn't trying to throw any stones at Denmark or Sweden. My point, probably phrased with too many words, was just that nobody would go to Denmark expecting chickens in the street or no civilization, but wifi just wasn't

Free wifi is likely less available there than we are used to in the US. I went to Europe last year for vacation and it was hard to find free wifi, too. I almost got stranded in Denmark one day because my credit card didn't work in Eu

I thought this was a well-written piece, as well, and threw it into Pocket along with my other "regular review" articles that I use to keep myself motivated. I clicked through to the blog and it looks like that's your first

The statement "there's evidence that a vegan diet increases testosterone, by providing more of the precursors" could use one, or better, two, supporting citations: one, to the evidence that a vegan diet increases testosteron

They've got "enhanced multi-factor authentication" on their roadmap for 2015. Not sure if that's "true" 2FA, but it's on the way, FYI.

Their email sync is definitely superior to Google Apps, and now that they're adding DAV support the only thing really holding me back from switching my personal domain email over to Fastmail is email tagging. Gmail is, as far as I can

Having worked in identity management and access control, I can't emphasize enough how important your second paragraph is, and why Fastmail's approach of leaving authentication out of the protocol is the right way to go. Over and

I know what you mean. Fastmail sync is definitely superior to Gmail for me, and DAV support may push me over the edge to switch my domain to FM. For Google Docs etc., maybe a private cloud provider that lets you add apps--ownCloud or some

I've got a current-gen i7 XPS 13 as my work laptop, so I haven't put Linux on it (gov't clients need Office docs grumble grumble), but I can vouch for the quality of the hardware and battery life. My linux book is an Asus wi

Are users able to add a domain to the list? I didn't see that option to add mine, unless it's behind the login (and I wasn't going to create a login just to find out). I know you could end up with a lot of noise if a provid

I looked into these when I was shopping for a laptop, in hopes of avoiding problems with hardware compatibility. Between lackluster display specs on a couple of models, some very mixed reviews of build quality, and no way to check one out

I'm running an Asus U38n, which has AMD chipset and graphics. I picked it because I liked the Asus design, AMD made it substantially cheaper than the Intel Asus Zenbook, and it allowed me to upgrade RAM and hard drive (unlike the unib

For-profit law schools aren't the problem, law schools are. For-profit students at schools like the one in the article may be "subprime" as far as earning potential or the ability to pass the bar goes, but for graduates of s

The clinic in question is part of the students' legal education, so referring to it as an unpaid internship is misleading--they are "paid" in school credit. 75% of my third year law school course credit was via working in a

That quote, and the mentality behind it, used to drive me to obsessively parse my language to avoid having something twisted out of context. Since then I've realized those efforts are largely for naught: anyone who would judge you bas

I have a Sony Vaio for work, and was completely unable to get it to run Linux even with a live USB or CD. My research turned up the issue you've identified--their UEFI software doesn't work right.
