The Washington Post and the New York Times both seem to have excellent engineering teams and both of their websites are in my opinion some of the best news sites that I've seen on the web. (Vox is also very nice in my opinion though th

Fascinating article. Forgive me for being ignorant about this, but how often do they need to encode video? I would think that it's only done when new titles are added to streaming, and once the video has been encoded into all the requi

I once watched every episode of every season back to back consecutively (over the course of a month and a half) in order to test a thesis that I have about the long term themes in the show. I and a friend of mine had an informal theory that

Thats why you don't use that blob. I'm not saying that I trust the study, only that I don't see anything wrong with the author accepting money in exchange for writing it. Continuing the analogy, I don't see anything wron

1. I said nothing about "what science is supposed to be about" Research costs money. If I chose to fund a study about the positive effects of a coal industry on the lower class it is within my right to do so and in no way excludes

I have some questions about this "sting" that were unanswered in the article. It would be one thing if the academic were paid to have a certain opinion, its is another thing entirely to pay an academic to falsify research suppor

Why do companies do this? I would love to see a breakdown of the bandwidth costs they pay for something that enrages most visitors and is tolerated by most of the remaining. I have never visited a website and said "man, I wish that vid

We also bombed civilian targets because the destructive power of the bomb was still relatively unknown and Hiroshima and Nagasaki had not yet been bombed as they were non military targets. If we had bombed an area that had already been atta

I've often found parallels between the death star and the atomic bomb. Both are weapons of incredible destructive power that would be difficult to use without deliberately killing untold numbers of non-military citizens. The justificat

Not being able to find private space in your multi-million dollar open floor plan modern home is one of those good kind of problems to have. If you want to live in a home with private space it isn't exactly hard to do. Since when did t

I've wondered if the charity Claire Underwood works at in House of Cards was intended to be a commentary on this sort of thing. Claire takes a huge salary from donations by corporations, then Frank spends it. They seem to be intimately

Amazing. I only had a chance to read the README.md but my question is this. What happens if you ask it questions that it could not possibly answer, as in if it were given a picture of the man playing tennis and you asked it what the score w

The documentation for this project (pixi.js) is excellent. I look forward to working with pixijs and I hadn't heard of it before. http://pixijs.github.io/docs/index.html

Anyone know of an open source implementation? I've only had a chance to scan the document but it appears to only go into the theory.

I honestly find Jawbone products to be much higher quality products than Beats. Their design aesthetic seems to fit in with Apple more than Beats as well imo. I have a Big Jambox and while it isn't an audiophile's dream, the sound

In my home town of Lynchburg VA the indoor mall just outside of town was on the decline so the nearby Liberty University nearby bought most (if not all) of it and turned it towards classrooms, and other university purposes. There is still a

I think he's talking about PEP 0484. As I understand it they go into separate files and there is a gradual typing system. The inspiration came from mypy http://mypy-lang.org/ and the point is mainly for IDEs and conven

It's easy to port to python 3 but I think the holdup with some libraries is that they want to support both 2 and 3 with the same library so that devs who cannot upgrade the python on their system don't get left behind. Supporting

cnn.com gets 95/100 on mobile user experience which must be a joke of some kind. My own page (the development version) gets a similar score in spite of loading much must faster. reddit.com also almost fails the desktop test. This is a

If you are using something like browserify you could create a module that defines the variables you want to use for theming or something and then import that module to achieve change once/ show everywhere. You could also just not do in
