My thinking on it is that they'll become popular fast because as we become more connected to our phones, smart watches are a much less obtrusive and disrupting way to look at notifications. Basically, you can add a screening device ont

Is it just me or is there kind of too much going on in this essay? It moves pretty quickly from a history of famous WASP writers and presidents, why WASPs dominated, to how WASP dominance declined, how America is now a meritocracy, that mer

I really think this will be the year of smart watches. Smart glasses look so absurd, I think this year there will be a number of options for glasses in market, but they won't gain popularity 2015-2016. Smart watches, however, don'

Great summary. "The NSA was deeply concerned with the public adoption by Americans of cryptography that they couldn’t break". Kind of a crazy concept, the agency tasked with our security can't let our own personal security be

Right that's what I mean. Your odds go up in those situations by changing your name.

Whenever I read about this, I wonder at what point it's worth changing your name. Your name is kind of a weird thing, even though it seems like such an ingrained part of you, you can legally change it to something that would freakonomi

It's totally fair for people to go crazy and "turn ugly" on her on Twitter, she has cultivated her entire professional image via Twitter and other social media. Live by the Twitter, die by the Twitter.

I posted this in the comment section of that article when it was posted here earlier, his response in 2010 made me love the dude, even if he couldn't see 15 years into the future: "Of my many mistakes, flubs, and howlers, few have

The author, Clifford Stoll, owns up to it in 2010: Of my many mistakes, flubs, and howlers, few have been as public as my 1995 howler. Wrong? Yep. At the time, I was trying to speak against the tide of futuristic commentary on how The Inter

Right. What time of year was it in the first case? I would think it's easier to get over if it's the summer or around Christmas when people are going home for vacations.

Are you there with friends at all? I'm just curious because for me I always want to be near friends and family, but know that for some people they would rather do something new and exciting.

How did those deaths affect your workplace? Do people try to hang out and talk more or do people generally just carry on normally?

Interesting, I never considered how that could spoil the surprise. I guess the most straightforward solution is to do private browsing when shopping for gifts. Pretty annoying since it won't have any of your saved data (logins, saved f

Definitely true, good to keep that in mind. Clicking up-vote doesn't mean you're calling the hotline.

Yowza. I guess it's true that the majority of people investing in Bitcoin saw it as more of an quick-flip play than a long-term value investment.

CL Rideshare is funny because like you say, it works for 18-50 year old males that are willing to research the "few simple rules" perfectly fine, so about half a million people. There's no way that half a million people, out

Very cool way of illustrating it. It looks like you just used iframes for the animations so they were in separate pages with distinct stylesheets, JS resources, etc., why did you do that rather than having the Jquery animations happen in th

Great response to Franzen and Eggers article/novel, she articulated a lot of the feelings I had about their works. In general, you can pick any innovation in history and find naysayers at the time: “The automobile as a death dealing in

Very interesting. The only thing I don't get is that if the government knows it can't enforce these red-light and speeding camera tickets, why implement them? Is it really because they know that the majority of people will just pa

This article reminds me of "Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", specifically when the author explains that he really struggled with the idea that as we learn more, we gain a better understanding of how little we know. As A
