While McMaster shipping certainly isn't free, it's always overnight, and often less than 100% of cost, so if Amazon is actually 2x price, McMaster still makes sense. Side note: McMaster has, hands down, the best/most useable site I've ever

When discussing data-portability of social networks, Facebook's data download feature is sometimes brought up. I periodically use this feature, to see if it has improved any since it's initial disappointing release. As of a few weeks ago, i

One minor quibble: "sexual content" is a set that most definitely does include "homosexual content". There's no need to grant Happeh the idea that they weren't properly warned. It seems to me that we should not feel any compulsion to cater

What? The way to fight terrorism is to provide an environment where people not want to be terrorists. Terrorism requires no state sponsored infrastructure. Bombing places to hell doesn't stop the spread of hopelessness, of desperation, of t

And indeed - by declaring yourself mature enough to handle a startup at a young age, you're also declaring yourself mature enough to act like a human being. Young people in prominent settings shouldn't get a free pass - if you want to be in

Perhaps, but if we can continue to make it known that inappropriate behavior is unacceptable, it will be impossible for them to miss the signs. Women shouldn't have be the only ones calling out their peers for making othering comments - eve

While I think this is a great idea (and similar to things I've been slowly working on in spare time), I don't think that the execution really does "Fair" or "Fact based" justice. The facts that are presented are pretty minimal - while I may

A lot of people seem to be surprised about the ToS for this. It sounds to me to be clearly a tool for fans , not "Entepreneurs". I know tons of people who would love to analyze sports data for enjoyment, not profit. Since the data is so

I'm worried that in presenting math with visible, tangible intuition dominant will do more to silo the knowledge inside the ivory tower. N-variable calculus isn't something that you can draw a picture of. Lots of (very practical) Linear Alg

$1 Billion in profit => $1/(user year) in profit for 2011, correct? That's pretty darn good money, but not a huge amount more room for user-growth. They'll grow by having new businesses/making current ones more profitable. New business

Now I know what Android users feel like when people announce endless iPhone-only mobile apps. I was super bummed that I missed the last Humble Bundle, since it was chock full of games I had been meaning to buy. This one is smaller, though

One of the reasons Tesla is better positioned than other makers to do well in electric cars is how they've designed the Model S. It's from the ground up designed with being electrified. The consequences of how they can lay out the architect

I've long wondered how well using a DOM serializer that was a reasonable inverse of a browser would work. I feel like it appeals to my math-y "generalize everything" side, but might not work out well in the "many pages have special needs" r

This announcement in particular stood out as meaningful to me, because it seems with the iTunes U app, Apple is taking on Blackboard. There are few products that, as a student, more directly inhibit education than Blackboard. Ripe for disru

Absolutely. The dissonance caused by re-implimentations of standard UI elements has caused me to uninstall many phone applications, several desktop applications, and avoid purchasing a few mainstream applications. If you don't think the

That is a fairly disappointing rebuttal by him. Hopefully we can simultaneously absorb the good of a nuanced discussion of the issue and condemn bad arguments about it by the same. In what is a largely evidence based/logical culture, it's

I wonder how much of this acknowledgement can be done effectively as a group vs. as individuals. It seems like individuals can change their behavior very well this way, which eventually trickles to the community, but I've come to be a bit d

This is true - the Google Voice app is now much much better, but it is worth pointing out that there were tons of bugs that weren't fixed for over a year, like: * freezing irrecoverably when opening the app/going to inbox very often * l

The the code the article links to for zipmap.c ( https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/unstable/src/zipmap.c ) is rather literate. I haven't dug extremely deeply into the sources for many F/OSS projects; the code I'm interested in reading

The Nobel Committee is indeed one of the people who is destroying the meaning of important words, in this case "Peace". As I said, I do agree that transparency is most often on the side of right, but I believe that making statements like

I think it's highly detrimental to peace to equate "bringing sensitive government documents and other material to light" with making the world a better place. I agree that it very often is, but if we make this equation, then yet another ter

On the page I link to, Amazon says "We've refactored and rebuilt the browser software stack to push pieces of the computation into the AWS cloud. This lets Silk do more work, more quickly, and all at once. We call this “split browser” archi
