You can get the next ISS flyover for your location on your phone if you sign up for this, http://twisst.nl/what-is-twisst It works really well for me, with the direction of the pass, expected brightness, whether the moon is up and so on.

And they probably won't bother to trace actual Anonymous folks exposing this information but may end up targeting random people who are into computers, or even heavy social media users.

I'm not sure if you're joking and I hope so, but she did give talks on coding, and then after giving one talk about women in tech that was quite successful and changed a lot of people's thinking, a lot of other conferences invited her to gi

When we document what MikeeUSA does, or participating in documenting his emails and actions and talking in public (or possibly in private) about being one of his targets, makes us more his target. It makes us more of a target for other har

Similar actions don't have the same force or effect systematically when they are applied to groups who have different levels of power in society.

I think that was probably me with the stickers. Skud and I had vaguely similar hair for a while. I am the one with the wheelchair so while people have confused us, actually it's quite easy to tell us apart!

What's being described is not slash and burn agriculture in the way it's practiced now, or "deforestation", but a regular seasonal burn-off of prairie or savanna. It prevented trees from taking hold in very wide areas. The book 1491 has goo

People are worried he might be suicidal and are concerned for him. It is a fairly unusual act for someone with such a strong Internet presence to delete it; I would think it is a warning sign, like giving away all your things.

I think we'll end up with some planned and edited screencasts, and some "live coding" streams that are great (with 95% of the live streams being dull.) So there would probably need to be some kind of reputation system or way to look for co

Therefore, it would be a good thing to educate more web developers and the public in general about what it takes to make sites more accessible.

I like it too, especially the opening paragraphs. Headlines only wouldn't be enough text!

I would think that online poker players or other gamblers figured this out a while back.

I think part of this comes with age. We realize we don't have a lot of time left, we've accumulated a lot of cruft in our information input habits as well as in what we produce, and there's a strong impulse to focus. Writers and philosopher

I would interpret their answer as being annoyed with you -- not as ashamed!

Piecing information is what people do, whether they're reporters or not. Many reporters do great work, but we all need to develop the skills of detecting misinformation, rather than depending on a professional class to do it for us.

I use it along with a team of people who tag stuff according to a particular taxonomy. My scripts pull a bunch of those tags out through the api and cache them on a local server where we can do whatever we like with them to show them to rea

I'm glad to hear it won't be going away - I built a huge api-based service off Delicious that my whole team uses, and I really like how it works.

Looking at 14 year olds isn't going to help the 30 year olds who did stick with STEM and are here right now. It's great to help girls, but I have to wonder that that is so often the answer when grown women point out there are problems.

Literary and artistic fashions are quite different across cultures and across time. They're a poor data source to come up with an essentialist view of gender, if you pick one time and place. If you look at how, say, romanticism was gendered

Neat, thanks. I just learned the word "aliquot" from that article.

That's really horrible victim-blaming site. It also presents men as out-of-control animals. Sort of rape-robots who have to be placated at all times so as not to lose their thin veneer of civility.

So, just to be clear. If you or one of your friends did this, would you think it was okay?

I agree that is a good way to deal with these situations. React immediately, in the moment, and enlist the people around you. That turns out to be very hard to do. It's difficult to have the presence of mind. I've done it many times, but ha
