Why did the title get changed to "psilocybin" when the article is clearly about both psilocybin and MDMA and even mentions the original LSD title?

Squirrel, like all Java software I have ever used, has this bad habit of getting in to an inconsistent state where it needs to be restarted to use.

He does a lot of things like this. Look at the "main" picture, the graph of storage breakdown. Instead of aligning the sections, he makes it intentionally misleading with that orange block on the right. I'm not sure why he's being so mislea

This is a great technique, but I am concerned that instead of augmenting good, flexible responsive design, it will replace it. It has the negative side effect of creating a lot of ambiguity (what does the checkbox mean without the label, di

I am strongly of the opinion that even if you got a non-significant result doing your A/B test, assuming we're testing something of no cost to change (like a web design that has already been deployed for the sake of the test), your point es

Which is still better than 50%. After a split test, your point estimate, whether significant or not, is still your best guess of the effect.

Thank you for this. You are awesome.

The current "standard" appears to be: connect to the Bittorrent swarm, see how many people are connected, multiply by $OBSCENE. That's assuming this ends up peer to peer, I guess that's a bad assumption given that it will be government-sanc

I don't understand why? I mean, other than WBC being a bunch of trolls.

It's not just getting her fired, but also the public shaming as an end in itself. Political figures, who are in a position of an incredible amount of power/leverage over the rest of us, need to know that they must do only what "the public"

I don't understand why this is published on Techcrunch. Maybe I don't understand the Arrington relationship though.

You have to store the key with the data. These contracts are silly. :(

Yeah, I definitely expected code with missing braces/brackets or something. This is pretty clear why it compiles.

Sorry, if I could I would edit it to be more clear. We definitely need to show that no algorithm can exist with poly runtime for all inputs.

I wish I had the mathematical background to comprehend this. It's very involved. My understanding is that he has shown that CLIQUE (a known NP-complete problem) takes exponential time and thus is not solvable in polytime, this would mean th

Found Widom very difficult to pay attention to. The material was good though. Lots of theoretical stuff with questionable value for any application.

This is basically unusable with a mouse pointer because the bounding box is too small. The user interface is also non-obvious, at first I didn't know that I could move my mouse around and I would not have discovered it if this wasn't a tech

I think this is pretty awesome. Suggestion: the face cards need to be redone in SVG or something scalable.

Why does WinRAR have it's own VM and what does WinRAR do when it creates a .rar file? I feel like this is missing a lot of elucidation.

Clustering across what you've previously "liked" ala Netflix is the solution to this problem, I think. The problem is fundamentally that single number ratings don't capture that people are non-homogenous.
