I thought this type of research had been outlawed. Glad it still occurs. I see a lot of potential for this sort of stuff both in term of developing new therapies, but also in the sense of doing controlled experiments to better understand p

All I know is that at school when I'm on public computers, sometimes I'll accidentally use bing without noticing, do a couple queries, get frustrated by not finding the link that I'm looking for (often a course website), notice I'm using bi

I was told to do this in a psych class I took freshman year in college. I emailed my second grade teacher, who was probably the person that got me into reading. She was extremely grateful, and a decade later still remembered everyone in th

The one potential problem with going down this road is that even fewer people will have a broad understanding of what is going on in complicated experiments as labs are increasingly encouraged to specialize in a technique. Without some ince

Just because the average quartile in the US falls in the bottom quartile in Singapore doesn't mean that the top quartile falls into the average quartile in Singapore. While on average here the system is pretty bad, the US also tends to prod

Bug? In chrome when I try to design a shirt, I can't figure out how to change the fabric design. Mouse overs show the description, but then I don't know what to do.

It might be that the people that are reading the "new" stories and thus effectively making the decision which stories get at least a brief chance to see a wider audience, are not actually interested in the same things that the core is inter

Never mind you are totally right. Definitely nothing about crying or killed. He says his name very quickly which was throwing me off. I don't know if its fake, to me it almost sounds like the the people on the radio are repeating what he

So you heard the part I couldn't make out. I think I made out the entire thing, but I was fuzzy on the last word. I hear: "K narodom nashe rodie, prakldavuyu chilvetchistvu put k Kommunizmu, bifshi cosmonaft umru?" The first part translates

by thefool 16y ago
The bit about the translation is misleading. I speak russian. The audio is very fuzzy, but I think at the end he says something that roughly translates to "the former cosmonaut is dead" Before that he says something about the people, I can'

Your "friends list", sure google crawled that from your inbox, but surely you are aware they have that information and have in essence authorized them with it by using their service to email people. The "friends of friends" bit is the one t

That said, burst speed is what matters if you are streaming or doing something else that is similar. The typical user has no need for sustained output unless they are torrenting things, being used as a supernode for skype, ect. I do like th

All the information is publicly avalible on the internet. They are simply organizing things you could find by other means.

Because it feels like your being cheated when you are sold something that the person that is selling it to you broke on purpose. It doesn't really matter if the practice actually lets more people use a product, it just feels dirty.

All other things aside, people actually had a huge amount of freedom when it came to job choice in soviet russia.

This is super not intuitive, and there's no way that I can see to revert back to the original state.

A professor of mine once gave a pretty compelling argument for why we are still a long way from using pictures in ATM security. Imagine you have an ATM account, you fall down and cut your face, maybe break your nose. Now you need to withdra

It depends where his costs lie. If the ratio of piracy/buyers remains constant, and he is making money right now. Greater volume -> greater profits.

I disagree that this idea is incompatible with this usage profile. You could have your personal computer do alert processing on the box itself, and either setup a system of unencrypted alert messages, or have it ping you every once in a wh
