Run that by me again.. So you have an algorithm that attaches to a camera in a car shop and can determine the likelihood that a buyer is interested in the car? That's pretty awesome and scary in equal measure..

I really like Marks Daily Apple [1]. He is big on Paleo and some may find him controversial/extreme. But he does back what he says up with a lot of science (maybe pseudo-science, I'm not sure). Anyway following his advice has rea

On a slight, but related side note, is there a way to stop Chrome from auto playing audio when you first open a web page? I'm supposed to be working here - not surfing Hacker News!
