Ryan, or Susan? I like that Ryan is a composite of many Turkers, but don't see why he should be played only by men. In fact I bet women would be better overall at text-flirting with other women.

I'm a sucker for these kinds of stories too, but after a little reflection I'm usually just left disappointed. I don't think he's really using scientific principles, unfortunately. Science would require a constant attem

I like Russia just fine, though their current aggressive stance in the region is off-putting. My question is, why do so many Russians like Putin? I'd think they would have had enough of the autocratic dictators from generations past,

Just saw this reply, a couple weeks late, but: Yes, and no, at least not initially. I believe they repeated the test and it came back positive at a later date. So it seems likely that she got something from the tick, probably in part Ly

Perhaps the most interesting point is in the last paragraph: > Moreover, the deep web’s denizens will continue to adapt. Jamie Bartlett, author of “The Dark Net”, predicts: “The future of these markets is not centralised sites like Silk

My mom was bitten by a tick in Colorado and given a 2 week course of antibiotics when she started to feel ill. She got better then promptly got worse as soon as they ran out. Over the next six months she progressively worsened until she co

I bought a couple of the cheaper USB miners earlier this year just to play around with...have spent quite a bit of time since then mining alts. Bitcoin mining is absolutely a fool's game at this point. The hardware vendors have a ter

Indeed, couldn't that type of sleep deprivation alone account for the memory issues? I know it would for me. That and the hormone therapy seem like huge red flags. I know that the diagnostics for dementia-type illnesses are usually

Kids are made to care. I don't remember my graduation from grade school being a big deal -- I certainly don't remember having a ceremony and I doubt that there was any sort of fanfare surrounding it. This June I went to the neig

Sure the problem defaults to the package maintainer, but historically popular and/or useful packages have seen their way into the main GNU distribution. Just leaving the possibility open has some long-term consequences for the project

I still think the "why" of the watch was missing from the presentation, and a lot of his points were spot on. My wife called me all excited about it and I kept asking her what it did and she didn't have a clue. But I'm

What a well-written article - good lay description of the problem and the results, doesn't go off the deep end with wild speculation of technical jargon which may or may not be entirely accurate. I'm not terribly surprised by the

Great article. The only problem I had with it was an IP address being analogous to a bitcoin public address. Stripe.com is vouchsafed by a certificate authority, so when you go to the address either by typing or by a link, you have some rea

This is certainly true for some applications, but originally when Amdahl's law was formulated, people made estimates based on e.g. 95% of an application being parallelizable, and thus fairly rapidly reaching a point of diminishing retu

In all fairness, most pop music is pretty vacuous. The Wall annotations are pretty good, a nice mix of references from the movie and personal anecdotes of the band members, e.g. http://rock.genius.com/Pink-floyd-nobody-ho
