If you develop or market products which are intended for use by humans, you should read this. http://www.amazon.com/Design-Everyday-Things-Donald-Norman/d... It is not sufficient to make you an experienced designer, but it is a serious st

Damn. All the "I work on my startup" responses in here are depressing. We need a startup that's a time-off matchmaker for the startup-obsessed.

I think you're working with an overly simplistic model if this page is accurate. http://www.memrise.com/about/science/ I also found it difficult to navigate to something which actually shows your product. When I realized that the Mandarin

So is Amazon going to sue over this? (I kid, hopefully.) Still, I wonder how this will work out.

For most universities, the transfer credit is evaluated manually at time of admission. For-profit schools are likely to be the major exception. Solve that problem, and you might have a good idea. Absent a solution to that problem, any imple

Two problems, IMO. One, there are a bloody lot of social media services out there now. Why you? You've got a pretty page, but you don't answer that. Two, "simply reply to our daily emails" doesn't sound very simple. You should give a more s

Either once or about six times a year (guestimating from Google) depending on how you want to interpret that. It depends on whether you want the oldest person as an individual or as a class. Good riddles shouldn't be forked.

In the beginning, there was light. On second thought, do we have to count "the beginning" as the moment of the singularity or as the time when the universe became transparent to photons? Gonna end up with a holy war over that one. Wait, it'

Because when you mix a lot of random variables together, the variance tends to decrease.

Most likely, that will just end up wasting everyone's time when it turns out that you do not, in fact, have any experience whatsoever with business development or product design.

Simple arithmetic says yes, there would be more competition for jobs. But you're talking about a dramatic change in US public policy. A first-order approximation is not sufficient, and higher-order approximations depend heavily on what gues

Okay, it sucks. What do you want me to do about it? There are not many obvious sustainable solutions that don't involve the government suddenly deciding to reallocate pork funding to major public works or otherwise taking unlikely actions w

There was some real science done. Then the media took it and ran with it. Spoilers: the real science did not in any way involve time travel.

That would be a great argument, if not for the fact that Google doesn't need to get that information from Plus. They most likely already have it.

Mostly I see improvements in my creativity when I stop letting myself get distracted. And when I spend a lot of time immersed in whatever domain it is that I want to "be creative" in.

You're right, my error. I haven't used IRAF in a long while, but I'm still going to have to chalk that up to "stupid things I said in the absence of sufficient coffee."

Congratulations, Oracle! Not only have you completely failed to eradicate that information from the internet, but you've just made arguments to estoppel 10x more effective.

Packet latency, for example. The general idea is that there are many noise sources which technology normally needs to route around. To find random number sources, you reverse this.

I've always been a fan of using electronic noise. It's not complicated to build a device which does this. Weekend project to "hello world" scale if you're not too picky about specifics. Easiest way is probably with a webcam, which will also

Unless that's a time machine in your pocket, the only thing useful to take away from this in 2011 is that we should work towards more open and accountable voting methods in the future.

Agree on the tan. It feels like the attentive draw between the main and side columns should be better managed. As it is, it's too easy to drift between the two, which detracts from what you're trying to present in the main column.

If you set easy goals, meeting them is easy. Now if you can just learn how to break seemingly unachievable goals into easy goals, you'll be all set.
