Um .. heavy boots will help to be more rooted to the ground (because of the additional momentum necessary to move them) and thus will help achieve a more natural walking experience, right? Am I missing something?

You only remember about 20% of what you read at best. So the optimal approach would be to pick the 20% you want to read. Skimming over dull parts and reading the start and end of paragraphs helps. I've also tried EyeQ and AceReader and felt

They talk like that because you want them to. These people are defined by their success. Audiences want to hear about it, often looking for insights. For obvious reasons nobody knows exactly what they did right and thus end up sounding as i

48% of the class of '06 at MIT were female (up from like 2% back in the day) and most of them were serious hackers. Yet today almost all of the girls who didn’t go to grad school are working for either a large corporation or an investment b

PG should keep track of votes and see if there are statistically significant differences depending on the color of numbers. It'd be quite interesting if the same article gets more votes when it has a red number, as opposed to green.

Does anybody know the percentage of coders in these numbers? I doubt the job security/demand for a good programmer has changed at all.

I’m talking about how much the logo alone by itself communicates. Lets see, 1.The ‘O’ symbolizing Obama. 2.The colors of the flag. 3.The unification of red and blue, indicating cross-party unity. 4.The sunrise image aligning with the ‘ho
