I might try to learn Ido someday. I probably won't talk to anyone in it, but it might be fun. It has one advantage over Esperanto: its vocabulary wasn't chosen by one guy arbitrarily, but by a committee that analyzed various European langua

As we are talking about d3 based libraries, you might want to check dc.js (it's even better: crossfilter is mixed in): http://nickqizhu.github.com/dc.js/ . It allows creating plots using one chain of methods. And it's even possible to lin

I used to go to the library with just Kindle to get away from technology (= distractions), so I guess it might be more popular than you assume.

Huxley also had thought drugs can only make us dumb (like soma in Brave New World) - until someone shown him psychedelics. He even wrote later a book describing utopia (Island) which contained similar things as in Brave New World (drugs use

It assumes average posts would have the same amount of upvotes and downvotes. This is rarely true - people don't care to downvote boring comments, they downvote ones they don't agree with more often. This is why considering views might be b

Clicks and hovers can be done on canvas, using hack that renders on second (invisible) canvas each object with its own, constant color and then checking color of the pixel at coordinates of cursor. It would probably need some kind of scene

This is exactly what I thought. They must know it's going to end in bank run. And they want to see if they can somehow manage it.

Random fact: in Polish "free" and "slow" translates to the same word ("wolny"). Only free as in speech though, free as in beer is different word ("darmowy").

What do you mean? Won't things described here: http://www.centralbank.gov.cy/nqcontent.cfm?a_id=8158&la... work in case of bankruptcies of these two banks?

All banks (at least in Poland) are backed up by kind of guarantees fund, which allows to return some money to clients in case of bankruptcy. (WRONG INFO: It's 100% for amounts < 1000 EUR, 90% for amounts between 22'500 EUR and 0% (no gu

For me it rarely works. I know, what you mean, sometimes it does, doing one thing makes my body follow with others semi-automatically, without thinking about each one. But most often I just do this one thing and then stop. I can then do ano

I'm quite like you, maybe not so severe, but I also can't start doing things before it's the moment I'll be really fucked if I don't. And I'm actually most motivated, when I fuck something up, it's like a guilt motivation - when I achieve s

Is there a RSS reader which incorporates some ML learning algorithms to determine which articles I'd probably like, basing on what others (ones having similar taste) click? That was only thing that would make me abandon Google Reader if it

Absolutely, but not relatively. It's as-good-as-everyone vs better-than-everyone.

That's a great idea and really good implementation. The only thing I'd miss from Google Docs are comments that are not part of a text (in Docs these are rendered on right side of document). You could implement it by come special syntax for
