automated incompetence I'm going to start using this term.

Well, the certs were legit. So I guess yeah, in hindsight only allowing certain IPs to be associated with a cert or something would be cool, but damn if I know how to do that on a Windows machine.

Yes. In fact, years ago it was suggested that we do that for the San Andreas Fault to prevent a catastrophic "big one" release. I read occasionally that fracking causes earthquakes, too. While there is controversy around frackin

Wow! That's wicked cool- thanks for the tip! EDIT: I'll add for others that this keyword is stored as a bookmark, so you can find it in your bookmarks and edit/delete/etc.

!mdn uses mdn's search and returns their results, but I actually prefer ddg's. And using only mdn has the side-benefit of including relevant SO results (and others) lower on the front page sometimes.

A duck duck go search of something like <what I'm looking up> javascript mdn give me developer.mozilla.org at the top every time. It's somehow better than site:developer.mozilla.org for some weird reason.

Agree. Also, "billion" is ambiguous across countries. So, 10^{-9} would have been great (or is it 10^{-12}?).

This is exactly what I have observed among today's students also, and I am desperately trying to help! Smart students actually get hit harder because they cruise through high school and hit the wall in college. Then they may have a s

I love stickers- I think they're cool. What can I say? I'm pretty old, though, so maybe it's brain damage or something.

I'm much like you- with a new fitbit charge 3. The thing is positively addictive. I still wear a sailing watch for sailing, but for everything else I use the fitbit, especially for heartrate when I work out and for sleep tracking, wh

As long as they don't discuss business, no problem. Things like this come up all the time. People inside a business can't discuss insider trading stuff at parties. But any talks that are explicit efforts of lobbying should be pu

This isn't something I spend a lot of time on. I settled on Dia long ago and it works fine for my purposes.

Or even put into the comments section of your code... great tool!

He was also the crew-cut guy running demos in film loops I saw in school when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s.

Not allowed to here in MA AFAIK; have to register with a party to vote in the primaries.

That's what makes it an interesting problem. How can we reduce the influence on government that money allows? I think all meetings should be public, with publicly available transcripts and/or recordings. They are free to meet,

This is more like I'm not allowed to keep whole foods milk in my sears refrigerator- I'm only allowed to shop at Walmart stores.

I went to settings (gear thingy->settings) and set "conversation view" to "off."

They should just make that a configuration option. I prefer it works like Thunderbird, where no new mail is collapsed (but I can thread them if I wish). EDIT: Hmmm. It appears that I CAN change that.

This is what my wife did. She is a physician, not an MFA graduate, so she workshopped and wrote short stories for years, and even continued to do so while she worked on her first novel. By the time she published her novel, she was quite g

I use chrome for gmail, and Firefox for everything else. And it's quite quick on Linux. In fact, with that send.firefox.com bit that was talked about earlier, I just sent them a message and asked them to build that link directly into

Before I saw this submission I posted from Chronicle of Higher Ed. But I don't know if it's paywalled or not since I subscribe to that (and to WaPo, fwiw).

I think this is a really cool mind-hack. I'm glad to see it worked.

So, I've seen admissions described by three doors: Front Door: Student performance (scholastic and academic) Back Door: Family donations Side Door: What this article is about. Part of the ruse was faking athletic credentials to get

Is that really a privacy issue?

It really only plays as a branding message- like a superbowl ad. I've never bought anything immediately after seeing a superbowl ad, but the brand (Doritos, whatever) is in my brain now (as I eat my Tostitos of course).

I have an Asus (Model UL50V) from 2009 with an Intel Centrino- 4 GB RAM. It's my everyday machine. It is getting slow at many things (but a recent hack to Thunderbird settings helped a little). I dual boot Linux Mint 17.2 (Ubuntu 14
