I'm not surprised Portland would be interested in trip data from Uber. The city recently licensed data from a fitness app company apparently to help better understand cyclist habits [1]. I'm just glad Uber and Portland were able t

Key statement at the bottom of the article: "In a statement reported by the San Francisco Examiner, Uber said its policy is to terminate drivers who refuse to transport service animals." The problem is some Uber drivers (who are i

Troll 2 used to be the worst-rated movie on IMDb until it became a cult favorite and garnered tons of 5-star ratings. If you're interested, there's a really interesting documentary about Troll 2 called Best Worst Movie, which cove

Renditions of John Cage's 4'33" [1] are on Spotify. It is definitely the encouragement of abuse by fans that Spotify had problems with. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4%E2%80%B233%E2%80%B3

If Frere-Jones loses the lawsuit, he should just release his own versions of Gotham, Whitney, etc. After all, in the United States, typefaces are not subject to copyright [1]. There is legal precedent that provides protection for font files

Byrne's Elements is pretty remarkable. It's an interesting juxtaposition of old 19th century typesetting (complete with initials) and comparatively "modern" graphic design. Some pages look like they could be right out of

You can't argue with the aesthetics of backlit keyboards, though.

You can take my TI-89 from my cold, dead hands. It is dramatically more portable than a laptop, the battery lasts forever, and you'd be surprised how powerful it is. Sure, it takes a while to learn how to use it, but once you learn how

One reason they might require this information is they need proof you live in the USA, otherwise they will charge you VAT.

From what I remember, pro cyclists are simply too expensive. It's better to have an amateur who is 80-90% as good as a real pro, but is genuinely interested in the project and would be more dedicated than a hired pro.

I thought this was well understood for a while now. Has anyone advocated static stretching prior to exercise or sports in recent times? I'm in college now, but ever since I can remember, dynamic warmups were done, and static stretching was

This comparison isn't very useful without display PPI, NFC, thickness, etc.

I also really liked the XSS levels. I thought it was clever how they used PhantomJS to simulate a victim. It kind of makes it more fun than just a regular exploit. On level 6 I got around the quotes limitation by using eval(String.fromCharC

Does it have Retina display support? I'd download this in a heartbeat. It's frustrating how long it is taken Adobe to update their software for Hi-DPI.

The zoom was great. Shift-queuing was good as well. The mechanics and UI of the game is probably still one of the best of any RTS. I just didn't like the actual gameplay that much. It didn't feel like TA at all. The factions, the units, the

Total Annihilation is probably my favorite RTS. I love the resource model and unit/structure construction model. I was really stoked about Supreme Commander but it really just wasn't as good. I've played countless hours of TA: Spring and th

Oregon law is pretty clear about public nudity. Nudity is protected free speech as long as there is no sexual intent. There's large naked bike rides in Portland. In this case, it is clearly political speech, with no intent to arouse. There

The point being made is that public-key encryption techniques assume that it is difficult to factor large numbers. Even with modern computers, this takes a very long time. But this wouldn't be true with quantum computers.
