No, it is literally a private company. Which is why we are having this discussion based off of SEC filings. Edit: sorry, I mixed up public company and public good. Twitter is a public company, but not a public good.

In the middle of the article this is literally the discussion about, it literally has a chart showing that young women earn 93% of what young men do when looking across all metro areas in the US.

I'd hardly call the 102% ratio in NYC "more" in this context.

In NYC, young women earn 102% of what young men do. While that is technically more, I would count it as equal.

"Several" is doing some very heavy lifting here. According to the paper cited, it's 22 out of 250 metro areas (or 9%). Another way to put this is that in the vast majority of metro areas, young women DO NOT earn more than you

As a techie, I've always made it a habit to walk out onto the middle of the stage and shout, "Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth! There, now it's done with!" at some point during tech week.

Everything here is at or below 3-sigma confidence, and it's not even clear if that's a local search confidence (i.e. when you know the mass to within a small %) or a global search (where you don't know the mass and are just l

Pullum keeps a slightly updated version of this poem on his website: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/~gpullum/loopsnoop.html It adjusts the phrasing in a few places to make the meter flow more naturally. Apparently it also fix

Bingo. I'm done. It's over. No matter how much I want to hop on and rage about the current issue of the day, I just can't and it's not worth pinging my former teammates there for the Nth time trying to fix it.

I fall into a 3rd category: I used to log into FB once a month or so to check in. For some reason, they decided I was a fake account (despite working for them for 4.5 years) and asked for my ID. The resolution on my 10-year-old MBP was too

For me, the best thing to induce a good night of sleep is exercise. It can be at any time of the day. Some of my best night have been after I finished an hour-long heavy weight workout 45 minutes before going to bed.

I've noticed a similar thing on rentable bikes in SF and NYC. People don't put the qr code over the existing bike one, but they put it near enough that your QR reader might pick it up by mistake and open up the order site for a pi

FB branded Onavo as a free VPN to protect your privacy. Instead, it routed all of your traffic through FB-owned machines so that they could profile your connections and get an idea of how much you were using other apps.

As in most things with particle physics, it's a combination of both. Theory predicts a wide band and then experimentalists come in with the best estimate they can make. Some theories are excluded and other are refined. There are anothe
