It's disappointing that they're already sold out, less than an hour after this link was posted. After last year's debacle, I was expecting Google to prepare appropriately for the release.

Has Change.org ever led to an actual change? I just don't see the utility of petitions. They never seem to work. Consider the utter ineffectuality of the "We the People" petition site. Thousands of people signed petitions to

As a former Blackberry user, I feel sad watching their slow decline into irrelevance. I really enjoyed the Blackberry Pearl back in the day, and the 9900 had the best keyboard on a mobile device that I've ever used. It's sad to se

I find it incredible that someone would publish a web browser claiming to be safer: a) without publishing the source code, and b) acting surprised when people don't trust it. Seriously, what was @jeremiahg thinking?

Hey, I'm a math major looking for jobs/internships in data science. Any chance I could ask you a few questions about your experience finding work?

I found that Facebook was really bad for this. I'm a math undergrad, and I applied for a bunch of data analysis positions with them. I was asked, as part of my application, to take a programming quiz. The quiz consisted of a graph theo

Is it possible to build this (or any other 2.x) with homebrew, or do I need to build it manually?

Pandoc support would also be fantastic... this would be ideal for taking notes in comp sci/math courses!

Have you tried a 9900? To me, it felt like what the Torch should have been like.

Hey, just an FYI, to denigrate means "to criticize," so although I understood what you meant, you might want to reword that (not to be pedantic, I just know that if I misused a word, I'd want someone to tell me).

Are there sources for the $30 million? I've only seen it mentioned in secondary sources, never in an official Yahoo press release (or similar). I suspect that was leaked, and the real price was much lower.

I only answered the first one, but it was my impression that 1c was generated by the computer as it used weird greek letters; I have never seen eta used in that setting before, and I doubt that a grad student or an undergrad would be inclin

The latter. I'll check that out, thanks. I built a basic app with web.py that I'm trying to make pretty. I'm thinking I'll need to add some CSS, but I just have no idea where to start.

Seconded! Especially for web apps. I'm trying to learn how to implement something with a GUI, and struggling to move beyond the basics.

This is fantastic. I suspect that school that implement this will see positive externalities in the form of improved scores in math and science.

So, what makes this different from Gmail's 'Important' inbox? The site just seemed to be a pile of buzzwords. I signed up for the beta, and it seems interesting, but I have no idea what it does differently than other email services.
