Out of curiosity, were you perhaps taught with some other seemingly-intuitive explanation? The one given here was the first (and, really, only) such explanation that I received in grade school. It was also my first real exposure to the conc

I understand this particular piece of legislative manipulation is likely the product of some politically-connected dealers or auto lobbies. It does, however, work as a piece with an apparent fringe campaign that has been remarkably successf

I suppose this is somewhat off-topic, but confusion of TLDs reminded me of the following story: When I was still using a dumbphone I figured out that AT&T would let me sync my contacts to the web. I figured I'd try to do that to se

I bet you could get something insightful from plotting "unique words" versus "total words" - That might give a good idea of the amount of repetition over time, the length or quantity of output, and the total vocabulary.

There's a setting to disable "recommended" autocomplete (and only autocomplete from local history). Once at the Google search page, there's a separate setting to [en/dis]able autocomplete, and it may or may not actu

A) Of course, how do you know they'll do so until you elect them? B) Many politicians who get into office are quite busy, so they tend to trust the people they actually talk to, which are often the people at campaign fundraisers. Croni

County-level data is available on a per-state basis from the NLIHC website. I went and downloaded all of the state data spreadsheets and merged them into one big spreadsheet. It took maybe 20 lines of python. Here it is, for anyone interest

This has been in the console for all NYT pages since the new-site launch (I want to say it was there during the pre-launch beta). I spent some time trying to determine if the 0's and 1's meant anything, but I came to the conclusio

(OT) I am given the idea that popping up a banner soliciting an address for e-mail updates (as this site does) is a standard practice on many blogging platforms, and that it is apparently quite effective at retaining users, but as a user I

Let me make this explicit: I am not trying to address whether Snowden is lawful, chaotic, good, bad, or neutral. That is left as an excercise to the reader, though I guess I've proposed some of my ideas above, since that's apparen

Assuming for whatever reason that these things need concrete proposals and takeaways, and that criticism and analysis are not sufficient, maybe the idea is to suggest individual corrections in the readers' responses to things like this

I'm still confused why anyone would be using the tab system - a good set of filters will do the same thing, be more customizable, and won't take up another 30px of vertical screen real estate. I'm also not sure why anyone wou

Largely, yes, I believe he's done some great work bringing to light constitutional abuses. I am glad Mr. Ellsberg believes him to be his hero. I believe he is a flawed hero, though I also believe that all humans have their own flaws. H

I was under the impression that this was supposed to imply that, because the transponders were off, the pilot would likely be aware of _something_ being awry (if even just that the transponders were acting up). Thus, an informal, nonchalant
