Consider me admonished! I enjoyed the article and wouldn't want author to think I found fault with it. Maybe author would be amused that someone noticed the extra food at the table, and, in fact, intended it as an easter egg?

The beginning of an article showcases a photo of a man eating by himself and is captioned: "Not as sad as it looks." Well, wapo, that depends. If the other two extra plates of food next to him are for imaginary friends it puts a t

They're also (arguably inappropriately) broadcasting that you passed some sort of bizarre, arbitrary profiling heuristic.

When I moved to the west coast one of the first things I did was go to an AllPowerLabs open house! They have these very regularly... if you're interested in this sort of thing you should drop in. Oldie, but a goodie. The gasifier power

Speaking to your question about "what the long term effects of these drugs are": My wife put together a together a pretty interesting video about the "faustian bargain" which is IGF-1 (used as a proxy measure for growth

Thank you!!!!!! Grrrrrr..... Nail polish failed me miserably.

Great point. Positive changes like these resulting from social backlash are what make so-called "ag gag" laws particularly disturbing.

Please continue working on the non-aesthetic fundamentals. I reported this query previously to you guys, and it appears nothing has happened. It concerns me because it's so nonsensical it erodes my trust in your results, and it has per

Serious question... why can't I SMS 911? This article focuses on geolocation data... which is fine. But what about cases where a person is unable to speak verbally because of either physical impairment, or because they are afraid or ot

Since you're listening... I've emailed you guys before about a bug I found while working through your ruby module and hit radio silence at your contact@codecademy.com address. Got a more appropriate area for bug reports?

Looks like an aesthetic novelty rather than something functional.

Your last point is a good one, but if the person we're talking about doesn't complete projects what's the point of blowing a trumpet about it? Not disagreeing with you, just offering another perspective. Like I said, I think

> BRAG UNTIL YOU FAIL See: http://lifehacker.com/5921478/shhh-keeping-quiet-may-help-yo... In my opinion, the truth may be somewhere in the middle and is probably context dependent (surprise!).

I wonder how much visibility on HN it requires for the switch from "not a bug" to "definitely, for sure a bug" to happen?

Sounds like a description of what stem cells generally do. Which part makes you skeptical?

Even if the intent is actually enhance user experience, I think by making these decisions manually instead of algorithmically that a pretty reasonable assumption could be made of human bias inadvertently coming into play.

I'm confused by this. I thought this was already established fact based on declassified documents? http://www.theshillongtimes.com/2013/09/27/nsa-spied-on-us-s...

There is a pretty easy solution to this. Customizable settings that indicate that you need the battery at X capacity at Y and Z times of day. More concerning is battery wear (in my mind).

The problem here is inherent with anything that can be fairly characterized as "prosecutorial discretion." Human editing is going to be inherently biased, and it's unfortunate to see a move away from the use of clever algorit

This is what you get when you take the shortcut of moving away from a strict algorithmic ranking: obvious abuse of prosecutorial discretion.

Sort of amusing that it's the lack of fixed schedule that really rattled him. Dude sounds like he could use a sabbatical himself.

Number of participants in secret santa might be a nice metric to throw in with the growth metrics too.
