There's a big drop off, which would indicate an algorithm change by someone (statcounter, google?), but also a slow decline since then. Maybe Jeff has been busy with StackExchange and Discourse and hasn't been posting as much?

I got interested in bot activity and culture on Reddit recently, so I wrote a little thing about them. This is an interesting and somewhat shadowy facet of the otherwise very public community - and I thought it was interesting. I've be

Your ISP/you don't have to fork over an upfront cash subscription/ppv to watch youtube. Institutional journal subscriptions can run to 100's of thousands of dollars a year+.

Currently all of the Google Maps data for the US (and increasingly, other parts of the globe) is generated in-house by the street view cars - they don't just generate the data for street view, they also generate most of the data for the act

Anyone using this editor should install this plugin first: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control It's fantastic and gives you a simple in-editor way to add/remove other plugins, direct from their github repos, without needing

Wow - k5, that's a blast from the past. The sensible comments on there seem to dismiss this as not such a big deal, DRM wise - any thoughts?
