This is pretty neat! Dubious conclusion on this particular piece of data though: "The Chipotle there, for example, has seen around 64 percent less foot traffic today than that three-week average—possibly because of the news about its f

I don't get hardly any mail from them, either. It's several times a day "updating" me on my contacts, even after I have unsubscribed several times.

Kerning.js is a really good css/js library to include in your projects if you're interested in this stuff but not a professional. It lets you take control of what's going on with the typography on your site. http:/&#x2F

I really like the people and format of HN. Unfortunately these kinds of posts (random gifs, memes, video links) really detract from it. Luckily they only come up sporadically and when they do they're quickly gone.

As a counterpoint to your claim that being a food source for humans guarantees survival, the orange roughy is a good example. It is a fish that was discovered as tasty and then fished to 10% of its original numbers within 50 years. https:&

Woah, this isn't at all what the poster said, or even implied. In any case, men would statistically make up a higher percentage of child molesters, etc. Saying to have a slight bias toward children approaching women than men is a far c
