Using the 1.5 * IQR (Interquartile Range) rule of thumb, there don't appear to be any significant outliers. Q3 = 400 Q1 = 200 IQR = 400-200 = 200 1.5 * IQR = 300 300 + 400 = 700 200 - 300 = 0 (can't have negative y

I hope you don't mind, but I just mirrored it on Github ( https://github.com/seancron/kathack ). You can use the following javascript to load it from the mirror. javascript:var i,s,ss=['https://github.com/seancron/kathack/raw/master/k

Great job! This could definitely be useful to find something people already want, especially if you could keep a tally of the most wished for ideas. What did you develop it in? I also like the logo of the two birds talking. Did you make it

Why should Google not have a Buzz tab? Edit: Also, you can show or hide the tab. So if you don't use Buzz and you don't want that tab shown on your profile, just hide it. However, this way Google can let their users that still use Buzz disp

No, it's the updated Google Profiles as discussed previously: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2282094 ( http://googlesocialweb.blogspot.com/2011/03/decide-what-worl... ) And as I said in the previous discussion, the reason profile pag

Could you explain what you mean a bit more by big O notation not telling the whole truth? Are you referring to the fact that algorithms that look the same in big O notation might have drastically different constants, which can affect real-w

While I doubt there are many individuals with the space or need, although there certainly are some, there are certainly a lot of hackerspaces that I'm certain would love to have and/or build this. http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacke

Very nice...or should I say evil? The slowly fading text is a nice touch, and the blurry text just makes it even more evil since it makes it that much harder to read. It reminds me of a quick script that I wrote to prank a friend. It makes

Do you mind explaining more fully how this is useless? I'm sure there are many people who don't have a Facebook account who have a Google account. Such people could use this to create their own profile page. Also, while you can make your F

I think the reason profile pages tend to use the same layout is because it's an established design pattern now. People already know what to expect when they see a page with that layout. Edit: Also, Google profiles have had that photo timeli

Just scraped all 345 of my saved stories and exported them to Google Docs using the Scraper Extension[1,2] and the XPath: //*[contains(concat( " ", @class, " " ), concat( " ", "title", " " )) and (((count(preceding-sibling::*) + 1) =

Judging from the comments in this post, I don't think many people knew about the saved stories feature to begin with, and if they do I doubt many upvote a story purely to read it later. There are better services to do that like Instapaper.

Doesn't GMail already allow you to export your contacts? It also has a contacts api and IMAP support, so why do I need to use this website to scrape them? Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by scrape?

From my understanding of Vipassana meditation, it's not about the 'buzz' or feeling happier and more relaxed. Those are side effects. Vipassana is mindfulness meditation. It's about becoming more aware. It's about fully immersing yourself i
