This post was shared nearly half a million times in the U.K., but the story got hardly a mention in the U.S. By my read, it is an exaggeration to say we had any involvement in "fuelling" ISIS. But it does show that when the govern

What I want to know is, how has Yahoo lasted so long? Google has beaten them at search, maps, email, and news. And their homepages is still confusing web 1.0 jumbled mess. What do people still use Yahoo for anyway?

Gave the post an upvote because it is interesting from a theoretical perspective, but I have a hard time imagining a real life scenario where averaging a 99 percentile will lead you to the wrong conclusion. Perhaps I'm wrong, but whene

Because most people have never experienced it, I don't think they realize how much of our legal system is at the discretion of judges and their own personal views / mood. The chart in this post shows the relationship between court

Won't disagree with you about Dawkins. But he has a point. Looking back at it, I feel sort of ashamed for jumping on the bandwagon so quickly. Really, other than possibly connecting a few wires, the kid didn't build a clock. He to

Didn't say anything about it being narcissistic. I only meant to say that people use Instagram to see photos, which is something that appeals to everyone, myself included. People use Twitter, on the other hand, to convey ideas, often h

There is actually very little difference in the functionality btw Twitter and Instagram. The real difference is in the "personalities" they have taken on by virtue of the people who use them. People on instagram are looking for in

Agree, the name change does change the meaning. So it makes sense that more people are using it. As a blogger, Twitter favorites/likes are, and always have been, meaningless. Facebook likes, on the other hand, do have actual value. 1.
