   Little do we know, this entire post is an April Fools joke. Better not agree with the guy, or you're in for a world of trouble tomorrow!

   At the expense of a few rep points, this site is going to fail not because it isn't a good idea, but because finance people are just so frequently miserable human beings.

   For 300 miles? Or are you proposing spacing hubs out along the journey, in which case, wouldn't frequent reconnection be an issue?

   Are you? I wouldn't rule it out, but personally I think getting an outside signal into a sealed capsule which is moving so rapidly that it must use battery power rather than a physically connected power source seems more than trivial.

    I live in downtown Los Angeles, and I built this site out of my own frustration with not being able to find a cohesive way to learn about and keep up with all of the city projects and developments happening around me. Problem is, I'm n

    The culmination of this article was just as obvious and unsurprising as the very ads it describes.

    I can partially agree with you here; The way we perceive the present is certainly not the way it comes through on camera. However, I don't believe that adding a filter to an Instagram photo brings the photo any closer to the way we exp

    So basically this guy is saying he'd rather remember his life as a distorted story that airbrushes away reality in order to embellish an element of perfection that never actually existed than as the actual real-life moment he experienc

    I'm sure this is the case. They probably keep track of all the accounts that have been logged into from your computer via a cookie, and then suggest friends based on those accounts. Creepy, but understandable.

    I once had an interview in which I solved the entire esoteric question with relative ease, and then proceeded to entirely forget how Ruby's block syntax worked. Literally couldn't figure out how to use max_by. The dear in the headlights syn

    I'm in love with this idea, but I'm concerned that it wouldn't work on a grander scale. If everyone in the country had the same basic income, wouldn't the cost of goods and services naturally rise just high enough that the basic income beco

    If the rest of the internet is presumed to be linkable with a specific identity, I challenge someone to figure out who represents http://www.banksy.co.uk/ . And Pest Control doesn't count. And if it does, then that's a pretty easy way to h

    This is going to sound insulting and I don't mean it that way, but does anyone ever wonder about the fact that managers are frequently considerably less intelligent than the people they manage? I think that's what drives the frustration a l

    Frustrating? Yes. Shocking? No. Did anyone really believe that taking a job as a police officer somehow suppressed these people's natural desire to drive fast? Hell, that's probably what make them join the force in the first place. Sure, it
