So it's clearly a bug or intentional misfeature by Apple.

The dashboard is probably manually updated.

Sadly, that isn't enough to convince me to switch from the Podcasts app. (I also don't have a Windows or Mac box to run iTunes.)

Can you compare/contrast this with the Apple Podcasts app? Why is it worth manually reimporting my entire list of subscriptions? :)

Really? I thought email is used for that.

You're right that under the assumption that the OkCupid algorithms actually work , the best strategy is to just answer the questions honestly. If they don't really work all that well, just gaming it to give good results would be

More complex jobs cause the nodes to fail and it gets into infinite loops of restarting the nodes, replaying the job, and them dieing again. This is probably a bug in your code. Debugging these cluster applications does t

You seem to be assuming that "random" must mean "uniformly at random". A weighted die that 99.99999% of the time comes up "3" is still random, but not uniformly random. The outcome of the die roll is nearly cer

I think it's just a (clever) part of their branding; Switzerland has long had an explicit policy of neutrality. Not a super-reputable source, but succinct: http://www.wisegeek.org/why-is-switzerland-regarded-as-a-neu...

Except it's conceivable that having virality baked into it (e.g. being a "joke/meme") could actually help its adoption move much faster than it otherwise would. And once you have a cryptocurrency that has a lot of buy-in

Is there any more information about #1, "listen to what your body has to say"? I've come across this idea in several places lately and want to understand it better, but haven't found any good resources. Maybe something f

Why would there be ~40M credit/debit card records for a single day's transactions? Sounds more like they were hanging onto this information long-term for some reason?

This is clearly not the real problem. It's supposedly a symbol of the real problem, but I don't understand what that is. Supposedly something to do with entitlement and income disparity. I was most able to understand this on an em

GPS by itself could be easily spoofed. It's a well-known protocol that is broadcast in the clear.

Really? I thought the vendors just can't sell to Iran, not that they have to build in lockouts that enforce compliance by their customers.

I was merely asking because this did not align with my experience of Citibank in the US, so I was wondering whether it was a foreign division of Citibank. FWIW, I'm a Tamil-speaking Indian American. I am aware of the fact that not all

And now their website, http://trigger.io , is also not working. Just takes forever then returns a message saying "Sorry, there has been an error".

Agreed. They should stay put, not run away when I try to click one, and then I have to stop to think about what the text of the thing I was trying to click was, then find where it moved to.

Seems that having a more free/playful upbringing would have allowed him to explore his interests more. Being turned into an equation-solving robot seems to have crushed his soul.

Hm? Currencies are primarily used as a means to store and exchange value. The other things are secondary features that you may use to do things like pick between two currencies.

Why distinguish between legal and illegal transactions? I guess the assumption is that value grounded in illegal transactions is inherently volatile due to the risk of it getting shut down?

Wei Dai is another relevant person, with his b-money ideas and bitcoin's use of the crypto++ library. But who cares?

But this isn't a question about Vermeer's use of light, it's a question about the physics of light and the psychophysics of visual perception.
