I believe that a fairer method of districting would be to generate a Voronoi graph where the size of each cell is based on population data. Each cell should be centered around a population centroid and should contain approximately the same

I really want The National Enquirer and other tabloids to have a "For Entertainment Purposes Only" banner on top. And if I see Dr. Oz gurning at me from a "health" magazine one more time, I'm going to get a permanen

My favorite section from the essay was that it highlights the problem with a lot of modern news reporting: we typically don't see a resolution. An incident happens, we froth over it for a while, and then we move on to the next. Maybe I

I don't think this is isolated to VR. The effects of playing conventional video games can lead to a similar syndrome (I never drive after playing driving games for this reason). There's even a psychological experiment where you ca

As a game designer, I find casino "games" frustrating, because they are designed to not only mitigate skill, but also luck, in favor of the house. The fact that the casinos have roped in John Law to steal back their winnings afte

Why is it that causes of death like this are simultaneously ridiculous and horrifying? Is it my brain reacting to the horror accounting for the hilarity, or is it just that molasses seems so benign?
