404 is probably for the best. It's one of those sites that immediately starts playing loud video when you open it. EDIT: omg, it's a unicorn of bad web design. The video loads on every page of this website.

This is true, but one still wonders why government officials haven't pursued a criminal case.

Obama has just been at Nike HQ arguing for the deal and fast track. Check out the video... he's criticizing legislators for being ignorant of a deal _that is kept secret from them_. All I hear is "just trust me," from a polit

I apologize for not responding sooner. LCD displays operate by partially blocking or completely blocking the backlight to produce an image. The blocked backlight photons are not used to generate the image. As opposed to a CRT or OLED displa

Depends on how you define the phrase "self-powered." Today, an "electric-powered" car may not necessarily mean to the exclusion of gasoline as an additional power source. If a backlit device harvests the unused light fro

That's a really interesting thought -- after all, the "off" subpixels don't have a job except to sit and block light from passing by.

I've consistently heard the following two claims about thorium reactors: 1. They offer a number of advantages in safety, efficiency, input materials, byproducts. No comparative disadvantages. 2. The United States is not actively pursui

What you're describing is the point in time when an entity exits the free market. How does the government control the market aside from whack-a-moleing individual entities? How does whack-a-mole have a controlling effect on entitie

I noticed an issue with the music : There is a monotone guitar riff in the background that clashes with the main melody at times. Listen carefully and I think once you notice it, it will not stop bothering you.

I think I watched a talk by Michael a few years back about the basics of columnar databases but now I can't find it. I recognized the names of the companies he founded from the article. At least I think it was him that gave the talk! D

I work in an office with a mix of highly professional, low-ego workers and highly dismissive, high-ego workers. No history of freelancing there that I know of. One group is multiples easier to work with... guess which. If I were to try and

Thank you for this link, here's a great quote from there: > The Stakhanovites were responsible for organizing the two-hundreders movement (Russian: двухсотники, or dvukhsotniki; 200% or more of quota in a single shift) and one-thous

I don't like to think about it this way. I think it's silly to go all out and insist one is always objectively "better" than the other (it's a tradeoff), but to have this discussion is illuminating. Look through the

I think this is a more viable (and beneficial to society) product than the generic RealProblemHunt site that is presented to us. The generic site is, in my opinion, vulnerable to the Dunning-Kruger Effect. A more focused tool like this coul

Don't you require some sort of "trusted" status to post a job? I think that level of trust would mean the same accounts should be able to moderate their own postings.
