I was fascinated with sleeping patterns in college, and I came across that book. I decided to try out the sleeping pattern, and it's really an incredible experience. The time between first sleep and second sleep is really cool. Very me

OP is probably right. Though it doesn't seem radically different than what's happened with journalism before, as alluded to regarding TV. I'm sure it happened with print, and I'm sure it happened with whatever existed be

Ditto with not wanting to be tracked by "targeted advertising." It's like, the one thing the Snapchat CEO believes that I agree with - it's just plain creepy.

Uhhh what? "Added support for Jepsen tests" shouldn't mean "we sent Kyle a pull request" That seems like deceptive marketing to me. Once the pull request is merged , then you can make that claim. Here's the op

Context: I never did too well in statistics, and in general I was always pretty bad at understanding simple Math notation like sigma notation, multi-variate calc, or linear algebra. Here's the Hokusai paper: http://www.auai.

Same reason I mentioned sexual orientation - they factor into how people are treated. And yes, different permutations are affected in their own unique ways as well. For the record, I am also a non-white male.

There's some commentary here that's helpful, and some that's not. I don't think it's fair to say "Facebook sux lolz" when many of us work, have worked, or will work in companies that suck just as much if n

The reason why "trolls gonn' troll" isn't an acceptable excuse is that straight white men don't get told that people are jerking off to their conference talks. Just google "Kathy Sierra" and see why.
