This article seems to ignore the fact the point of a game isn't about reaching the end, its almost by definition about the journey. Just because someone didn't tick that particular checkbox it doesn't mean that there was too much in the ga

Now I am in the honors college of a fairly good public school, and I am surprised at how many of my fellow honors students smoke. The only ones you notice are the ones who fit the stereotype. How would you even spot the rest? Thing is, t

I used to just ask someone to keep it down, but now I can do it in a less effective, higher effort way that also makes me a gigantic passive aggressive douchebag too? I'm already printing!

Oh heavens! An ugly html file? We can't have one of those dirtying up our monstrosity that poorly attempts to turn a document into an application.

This article seems to boil down to the idea that because plus isn't a 1:1 copy of the mental model and concepts of facebook and twitter, it has to be a failure. It builds on a bad assumption right out the gate, that automatically reposting

Reddit's google analytics (Jan '11) puts their number of uniques >10x higher than compete and their Jun/Jul number is around 8x larger than compete's. I guess thats what you for looking at a website that pretends a 1% sample is represen

From a security conscious perspective it is a bad idea, but too many people undervalue noncritical data and don't secure it like they should (That's part of why infosec is such big buisness). A prevelant lack of security sense is basically

It feels good. It doesn't necessarily accomplish anything, but it can force the other driver to reevaluate the appropriateness of their actions.

What? You mean without a backup plan to substitute in for the platform with known reliably issues? Yeah I guess that would suck. Edit re your edit on dogfooding: supposedly they use the same tech, just not the same servers, so their AZs are

There is a difference between adoption and if it is mainstream or not. People knowing what twitter is but not giving a shit about it enough to have an account doesn't prevent it from being mainstream. I'd say Ford is pretty mainstream, bu
