   Here's an update from March 2012: http://www.1tv.ru/news/sport/201780 You can hear her speak around 50 seconds in. She says she's very sick. One thing I didn't realise until I talked to my grandma is how famous she is in Russia, but it ma

   I'm in AS. We aren't using a js interpreter and actually I haven't seen them mention such a switch much. That's news to me.

   I'm currently doing SICP with Harvey and to be honest after list and cons in general are introduced I wish the course would abandon sentences altogether.

    Aside from maybe Jessica Linvingston's talk, Spolsky's was the only one that said something very interesting to me, even though it was basically 12 years old.

    Radiolab is incredibly compelling, I agree. I listen to every episode. I can't think of a more entertaining science radio show, but we need to define "better" if you want me to name a better one. There are certainly more scientifically accu

    I'm not sure Wikipedia needs a rebranding, and tell me if I'm the only one, but I use Google to get to specific Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia's actual search and search results need to be re-implemented, but I don't agree about redesign bey

    My favorite part of this mess is that Jad Abumrad (one of the two guys behind Radiolab which, I think, is extremely messy with its science) called the initial ousting of Lehrer when he recycled passages a "cheap moral crusade."[1] [1]: htt

    I thought YC specifically did not do follow-on investments because of (paraphrase) what it'd indicate about the companies they don't follow-on with.

    This is well-executed, but I thought those were happy/sad little pieces of poo for a little while and I'm not exactly inattentive.

    The gimmick-ness of this is just astounding.

    This is why I'm excited about this experiment - without it we probably wouldn't have been able to apply (though we were going to try anyway). It's not like my friends and I don't have ideas floating around, it's just that we have no one con

    Yeah, for example I was looking at NSF funding for grad school research and while your application is based on a research proposal, your research doesn't actually have to be what you proposed.

    A few weeks ago I was at a little tea shop run by a technology savvy Indian lady. When she said she didn't take cards, I asked her if she'd heard of Square. Of course she'd heard of Square. She said she didn't use it because it was too flim

    I know that lots of services let you add to Instapaper, but with Instapaper itself it's impossible to add articles without visiting them. I think I recall Marco talking about the fact that this is on purpose for the previously stated concer

    Ah, so I'm guessing you understand this guy's situation entirely, allowing you to comment on his personal finances without sounding like a jackass. Otherwise, you wouldn't have posted, right?

    I don't understand. Kahneman's whole thing is showing that it's wrong to assume that humans are rational actors. Your second paragraph is exactly the point - the choices are not equivalent to humans.

    I think a big distinction is that the Fire can be a pretty crappy device with a focus on content (which is Amazon's strongest offering), as evidenced by the general cheapness of the Kindles, while the iPad's offering is obviously the qualit
