A side-note on the smart people: Nick Patterson, a cold-war cryptologist who had worked at Renaissance for a few years, talked a little about how they had employed some very smart people doing some very basic things like simple regression,

More people find articles discussing what is possible more interesting than a summary article. Xavi was interested in ketosis, read about the subject, saw that runners like Tim Olsen had done well on a paleo-type diet and wondered about lon

Do you think that's more due to how it works or due to the kinds of people who currently spend time on each?

A free version of the "Wolfram Language" (I can't help but still think of it as Mathematica) runs on the Raspberry Pi, which makes for not only a fast way make little hardware prototypes and tinker, but also a cheap way for s

Solving this is one of Matt Wrock's goals with Boxstarter. I've been experimenting with it recently and found it quite nice.

Good luck! Just remember: don't decide to quit while going uphill. Hardrock has a high finishing rate because each of the 140 starters has already completed a difficult 100 mile race and likely years of lottery attempts to get in (Krup

Those are the official mountain bike trails at Theodore Wirth park. Google Maps is bad for finding mountain bike trails--it doesn't show the other Twin Cities trails at Lebanon or Murphy-Hanrehan either. They're the sort of trails
