Looks nice. I would like to see more links to original sources, to find out what exactly the event is about. For example, the "Blackbird New York" events at this theater are not live music performances: https://etrigg.c

We did similar experiments while looking for houses. One of the most surprising findings was that noise from the highway is much louder on cloudy days. Our theory was that clouds (or at least low altitude clouds) reflect noise back. It was

There is valid criticism to be made, but the negativity in this thread is out of proportion. As somebody who worked at Google for 5+ years, I'd like to emphasize a point: If you sustain good work [1] for a few years, you will be reward

The comparison with MTV is insightful. But what do you see as the equivalent of "dozens of access/consumption points" in sports? (I'm not following any organized sports)

Naturi yogurt has even lower sugar. (But looking at their website, they don't seem to be available nationwide -- east coast only)

There is always residual sugar, which doesn't get fermented no matter how long you leave it. If you really want to avoid all sugar, then you just have to avoid these drinks. I don't think there's a way around it.

Same here. For things like vacation houses, VRBO has been much better. I feel that there is a lot of high-end inventory there. Plus, house owners are familiar with the site, so they stick with it, even if the experience is not great. There&

This is fantastic news. I wish more companies would get into this. Google, Facebook, Microsoft. Every company that has a ton of cash should consider doing it. Tesla proved that it's viable, so the hard work has been done. And building

It's another way of thinking of the graph. Basically, the points on the graph are the points that satisfy y = f(x), so in that sense "the graph is a picture of all the points that make the function true". From there he genera

To play devil's advocate: The starbucks.com store locator is presumably up to date, so one can find openings and closings relatively easily. Additionally, Google is now providing wi-fi for Starbucks, so they really should have all the

That's an exaggeration. The Hilbert curve calculations are also done using bit flipping. They are harder to understand, but are not that cpu-intensive.

It reminded me of this[1] recent Tyler Cowen article that is basically arguing that France and other European countries will have long-term negative growth, mostly because they are over-regulated and hence cannot adapt to changes. [1] http

I would argue that if they gave you the money they spend on food in the salary, you would not be able to eat as well (or even half as well). The cost of the food that I get at my company is ridiculously low per person (this might not be tru

Don't lump them together. Tripadvisor has lots of high quality hotel reviews. I can forgive a lot of annoying ads for that.

That's been my experience as well. The article claims it isn't true, but I know for sure it is, since I remember researching a particular hotel extensively -- I really wanted to stay there -- and Expedia was by far the lowest price. This wa

That's an interesting observation. Intuitively, I believe it, but do you have a source?
