What is the source of the term "luck surface"? It's a good one.

Oui--heartwarming, and not a post-apocalyptic nightmare scenario. I'd like a low-powered computing device that (a) observes my habits and emulates their neighboring variations in a sandbox and (b) I can unplug if I choose, so as to carry th

As appealing as the opportunities appear, my naive guess is that "neat" is superseded by "regulated" but this makes me wonder... while finances are about as graphically personal as information can be, the optimization potential for billions

Nope. In an ideal world people would honor each other as individuals and prosper in civility, not fight murderous, destructive ideological vendettas. You can consider profiling to be the collateral damage from the aberrant behavior of unche

The thing is, wood trees don't share (or trade) leaves, but abstract trees can.

Racialist generalization. There is a "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" aspect here, and frankly the TSA's, and the average anxious air traveler, have an appreciation of irony I could only describe as absent. I wouldn't be surprised at

What about a Jeffery Jalaluddin? As an adult white American-born male who's subjected to the same "security theater" idiocy, I have to discount this sort of racialist argument.

From a brief look at the spreadsheet, seniors (65+) much more often "used the internet today" than "use the internet." Something is badly wrong with this data.

Sounds like a steady setup. How packagable is it? With AppEngine, you could make this an easier transfer by consuming a short list of URLs in a textarea (homepage, resume, blogA, blogB, profileA, profileB) and simply spawn a clone. Seen any

How about a simple Bayesian classifier for legitimacy? Parameters: account open date, date of first comment, date of last comment, karma, std dev of time between comments. Good for drawing crooked lines between accounts of a similar age, eg

I don't get that more is implicitly better. It is pretty clear from a naive glance at the list of leaders that there are diverse average points that correlate to diverse posting styles. If you want it scaled to fit a continuum of "bigger is

7+- is a recognizable red herring. There is a better metaphor, but the title led me to think directly of the concept "mentally uploaded". I visit all of the top ten listed, and twenty or more others pretty regularly, but the idea of a set o
