Great article. However in my experience, using the Euclidean distance in RGB space can bring about some really weird visual 'matches'. The best color space I've found so far for this type of task is the L A B color space. And

I applaud your efforts, but the selection of games I see (at first glance to be honest) does not seem to appeal to me. Is it a coincidence the first games I see are all 'scantily-clad-chesty-wizard-princesses' themed games? Wishin

I think your questions assume a lot of things: - Women do most of the shuttling of kids? I've yet to see any evidence of this. - There are differences between the genders, but 'genetic behavioral differences' is a very broad

In case of a popular channel: maybe the subscribers to a channel could be 'polled' in order to vet a channel's content? If the majority of subscriber's vote confirms the content then the channel owner could be given a 2n

Some so called 'assholes' are in fact really good mirrors and amplifiers of our existing insecurities. Is it fun when someone is able to 'push our buttons' and make us feel worthless? Rarely. Is it useful to further expl

Lisp has many parallels with Ayahuasca: Both are tough to 'swallow' and not everyone comes out on the other side 'enlightened'. No doubt about the potency of both though ...
