My favorite part is when they align the golden ratio to get the white curve "just right"... and then just do a bunch of other random shit w/ the stripe. SCIENCE!

It was definitely that for me. I was a few years younger, and my dad's office (University campus) was the only place with networked computers I had access to. So we'd get in there and fire it up on a couple of Macs. Initially, the

At first I was thinking of posting a joke about missed timelines, but then I remembered that nobody else is setting audacious public goals quite in the way that Musk does. So instead of a joke, I'll tip my hat to that and hope its true

In my youth I was too impatient to make it far, but I remember this fondly. And Spectre. Multiplayer Spectre was amazing.

That video. I'm traumatized, yet I can't look away.

Sometime in mid-2015, my old aggregation reader got shut down I had to jump ship over to Flipboard. The most annoying part of this journey has been the total reset of my blacklist of news outlets and topics. Content farming, hat-tipping and

Confronted this when looking at Hamilton tickets recently. The thing that is crazy for venues and artists is how much of the value they are losing to scalpers via StubHub. If venues forced non-transferability (or some better limitation) and

The total impermanence of so much of our architecture is depressing. While I'm glad people are moving to more walking-friendly locations, this is just more detritus to be demolished or forgotten.

That picture kind of breaks my sense of perception. When I first looked at it, I entirely mis-categorized the scale, and thinking it was looking North from San Bernadino, I was able to place the lakes and landmarks in order for it all to fi

BART in the Bay Area is also a two-track system, and we face the same problems. This is the reason given (here in CA) for not running 24 hours, and the limited window for maintenance slows down all track work. It also prevents anything like

Design is a bit more than the 'color of the packaging' but I do agree it feels odd to try and get it in w/ the STEM. It calls attention to a certain anxiety within the design community about their own value while at the same

For anybody who wants to check out more of his work without a trip to the comic shop, he just wrapped up a weekly series in The Guardian which ran for a year. http://www.theguardian.com/books/ng-interactive/2014&#x

A bunch of cut up PDFs is a rather frustrating way to release something for free. That said, these galleries are pretty fantastic.

"2) Do more to cut costs, companywide. (“The most valuable long-term dollar to an organization with declining revenues is a dollar you don’t spend.”)" This one worries me. I don't have better proposals to save the industry, b

Salt Lake City's approach seems to be going pretty well [1]. On another note, naming these places 'Dignity' and 'Opportunity' seems, at least to my ear, to sap the residents of both. Why not give them more innocuous

I faced a similar dilemma when purchasing my (now) wife's engagement ring. We were both familiar w/ the con, but she likes the traditional ring, so I wanted to find a diamond I could live with. Ended up with a vintage diamond ring

I fear that the browser itself will live forever. At least in my parent's basement where the PCs are like Mr. Burns' indestructibility: https://vimeo.com/96581518 So IE6 it is.

I'm generally a fan of anything to remove cars from the city center, it is really an improvement and transitions us from the inefficiency of single-occupant transportation to group movements. As you point out, it also introduces logist

From that Wikipedia article: "Gator's end user license agreement attempts to disallow its manual removal by prohibiting "unauthorized means" of uninstallation." Reading the word Gator really took me back in time. Ne

They do make a couple of generic bins. ($0.61/brick on Amazon) and you can pick up clean lots on eBay. Though I've not seen it myself I'm also told you can buy from bins at the Lego stores. I know what you mean though, as non

That is a bummer, makes me wish I hadn't let the unread count from The Dish grow so large in recent months. Not too many writers who can argue so eloquently and respectfully on politics. When I didn't agree with his perspective I

As the son of an architect, I must somewhat dispute this characterization. There are tremendous constraints in that craft which are sometimes parallel to those of software development. Budget is the first constraint, which limits the availa

We are fairly quick to erase, forget or forgive the racism of white leaders, but seem to have a harder time doing so for those who oppose the majority's cultural status quo. I fear this has been used historically as a way to marginaliz

I don't entirely disagree with your sentiment, but I think there is a fair distance between Zynga and its ilk and the unregulated penny stocks. Zynga has had trouble demonstrating much of a profitable plan, but every investment bears r

This is a big test for IV, but I am uncertain that it will individually change the course of affairs for the general patent question. The second This American Life episode cited by Reuven includes a good indication of why. These cases seem
