I have Tile, and I also have Phillips Hue lightbulbs, which I currently have hooked up to email and social media alerts, but, if I felt so inclined, I could easily connect to a weather forecast. Or... I could just have a weather alert app o

I had a little bit of a problem with that question as well. A clever student might just divide 69 by three and take that number, as well as the numbers on either side, as the answer. Is that algebra? Is that not algebra? Is that some sort o

They may be bad at differentiating causation and correlation, however, if they're just using the results as a way to try and predict which candidates will do better in the classes, this seems like a pretty good application. They'r

I don't think it's meant to be a one-size-fits-all technique for ending game piracy. It is amusing though.

This is a scam to get the trial version of your product? If everyone's clicking and downloading the trial version, it's obviously not coordinated (why on earth would one entity to download the same copy of your trial product over

Although you've certainly made it clear that fiverr isn't going to be a good choice for an actual logo, it might be good for logo research. You got a handful of interesting colors, fonts, and concepts from three designers for $15.

How is this a "scam"? How is the person clicking on the ad benefiting from this in any way? It sounds like an unfortunate case of bad campaign configuring.

Maybe they're screening for people who never take vacations and have the vacation time to burn? After a week for the holidays, a week of vacation in the summer, and a couple of three day weekends/miscellaneous days, I certainly do

Another danger is that, if these became popular in places like India and China, it could lead to the abortion of female fetuses in numbers greater than what is already taking place. It's illegal for pregnant women to get ultrasounds in

"In 2009, a court in Italy reduced the sentence of a criminal with genes linked to bad behaviour." Perhaps I'm a heartless person, but this seems counter-intuitive to me. All crimes can be attributed to a combination of genet

He's kind of like a cringe-inducingly awkward quirky friend you can't stop hanging out with, even though you KNOW it's going to be slightly uncomfortable. I feel the same way about Alex Trebek.

Yeah, I also have a 1.5 year old cat who is great at not getting on counters because we threw her (gently!) off of them so many times. In fact, if she gets up on anything she's not supposed to be on, you just have to stare at her and p

This data intuitively makes sense -- the added theme gives users a sense of "this is my product," where before it was "this is a Ghost product that I'm using right now." As a user, however, I'm annoyed by vid

Although the economy suffered a hit, does anyone remember what the job market was like for programmers after the boom? If this article is right (which I'm not convinced of), even to a smaller extent -- how do you think that will impact

I love how you compare "missing a huge chunk of brain" to "having a certain race or gender."

Agreed. For an article that provided so little view of the other side, and seemed to be on the landlord's side entirely, the fact that a huge red flag like that would slip through is, well, a red flag. If a landlord ever said something

Septic tanks are common in rural areas, not just "poor" ones. I grew up in a household that was top 5%, both by personal wealth and household income. Beautiful house, nice property in a fairly rural suburb (100 houses in the commu

As a woman working in startups, this is another reason why I always wear a suit to job interviews. I don't care about having to dodge nerf footballs or beer funnel-whatsits or whatever while I'm coding, but if you're only loo

I posted this above as well, but cocaine is extremely water soluble -- 2 grams per ml of water will dissolve, or a little over 20 times the solubility of baking soda. Even with a low-flow modern 1.28 gallon toilet, it certainly wouldn'

Cocaine is far more water soluble than baking soda. Extremely, extremely water soluble -- about 2 grams of cocaine can dissolve in 1 ml of water (compare to baking soda: About .1 grams per ml of water) You can't clog a toilet by flushi

I'm ashamed to admit that I know this, but Candy Crush uses a similar method of doling out free lives/moves. If you give a bunch of friends free lives, they get asked to give you a free life in return. Always saying "yes&quot
