   1. I like the taste having an even distribution (i'd eat one of each color at the same time). There was a stupid little pattern on how on how I'd eat the extras to get each color to have an equal number. 2. I started a very statistics heavy

   as someone who has kept track of their skittles color distribution over the course of a year, I can attest that there can be wide fluctuations in distribution percentages. I wish I had kept all the numbers, but IIRC, the "typical" bag would

   if you'd like a tufte-esque view on interactive graphics, checkout the PhD dissertation from Ben Fry (the creator of the Processing language). I rather enjoyed reading it, and it isn't crazy dense, it was a nice easy read. http://benfry.co

   science, yes. engineering, not as much as you'd think. Asian cultures place a HUGE HUGE HUGE emphasis on rote memorization. The kind of learning that isn't exactly conducive to creative endeavors like engineering. *edit: I'm assuming you we

   the thing most people don't realize about capital gains is that the same profit was also subject to a 35% corporate income tax rate. Recently the top capital gains rate on dividends went from 15% to 44.6% (nearly a 300% increase!). That mea

   you stole the words out of my mouth. I don't mind being altruistic, I mind being forced to be altruistic, which really isn't altruism at all.

    yes, prime factorization is the predominant method for making cryptography "hard" to brute force. Earlier in it's history, discrete logarithms were also used to make brute force un-palatable, but factorization based cyrptography rules the r

    I was expecting something more along the lines of actual genetics, in which case two ugly parents make stunning children all the time. It is called hybrid vigor. The overwhelming amount of our produce is bred this way. They will inbreed cor

    that would be nice, but there are some practicalities that would make it difficult. Mostly because javascript does not support named groups out of the box :(

    in Iowa, the tickets they issue are civil citations, not criminal citations. Therefore, you have no right to confront your accuser and there is a lower criterion for guilt. Also, if you want to contest it to an administrative judge, it'll c

    If you want better shortcut muscle memory, just unplug your mouse for a couple days. Do this once a year or so. You can thank me later.

    I'll believe it when I see it. Solar power has "been on the precipice" of exponential growth for the past 20 years. Hasn't happened yet and solar is still ridiculously expensive compared to hydro and wind power.

    there is a big difference between rewriting netscape and rewriting the time tracking software for a 100 person company. Netscape was a very large, complicated product written by a lot of developers. Most software isn't like that. I'm not s

    The modolo function is pretty much required unless you have 2^32 bytes of RAM available for each hashtable. Modolo is also ridiculously cheap, especially compared to the hashing function.
