It's evidence to show people (family, doctors, etc... and yourself). It's harder evidence than flaky human memory or "impressions" of how I slept, in any event. You can literally see how crappy your sleep is, on a chart.

They need to get the battery life above "1 day". I think that's what's stopping MANY people. In my case, I almost need sleep tracking (diagnosed with a sleep disorder).

IQ of 148 here (not that I put much stock in it). Ballmer is an idiot. What he lacks in idiocy, he more than makes up for with... lack of leadership, lack of charisma, lack of ethics, and just raw lack of coolness period. Anyway, that'

Well, forcing gas to be cheaper had some unintended side effects in Venezuela: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873240007045783867... Anyway, I don't see how such a tax would single out the poor more than

Correlations with eye color may also be _facts_, but this does not mean that they are important. And (hopefully by definition, since these are all just physical attributes), such correlations (as ridiculous as it sounds) should be no more,

Computations can't be just "parallelized" in any automatic fashion. The code has to be written in such a way that it understands it's running concurrently. So splitting up an emulation of a single machine into multiple e

Has banning anything provably resulted in a long-term good? Because all it seems to do is 1) push it underground 2) hurt communication. I think Prohibition is a case study in banning vs. regulating

Thanks for the clarification. Also, constraint of side effects at the language level allows powerful things like... time-traveling debuggers (does GHC provide anything like this, btw? Because it probably could...) http://elm-lang
