There are persistent bugs in common functions also. E.g. in messages attach a photo, press the left arrow and then come back to the conversation. The photo will be messed up (XS with the latest update).

Very sad news. Dr. Lederman was an excellent teacher in addition to being a researcher. He encouraged lecture participation and making educated guesses (I had a freshman year class with him and I didn't even know he won a Nobel until t

I've had to deal with a copyright issue recently and the answer to questions like this is usually a solid "maybe." E.g. the New York district court recently disagreed with the Ninth Circuit about the "server test" (

I'm assuming you've tried basic earplugs with white noise generator at full power? When I used them to block out building construction noise, they worked well. Maybe even too well - I was wondering if I'd wake up if a fire al

The article mentions Gothamist and DNAinfo but the NY Daily News also recently laid off half of their staff.

It's not that difficult, just a bit annoying, to get the full Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains running locally and create a database-type access. You will probably spend more time waiting for the download to finish than actually writin

Being able to analyze people's play in hands would be very helpful to anybody but the play data is mostly available just for online play and even then it's hard to collect and likely against the rules of online casino. I'm qu

It's a possibility that Dr. Konnikova just played NY Times like a flute! That would be legendary. I'll repeat my comments about this part: "When you see someone looking a certain way, you assume they play a certain way. So on

Cyclists? There are 450k daily bike trips/day vs. 170k in 2005 ( https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/30/nyregion/new-yorkers-bike... ). There are new Citi Bikes and new bike lanes. The cyclists seem to be

Your data on the number of daily rides seems quite outdated. It was 400k/day for Uber, 112k for Lyft, and 300k for taxis in the latest article I saw ( https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/nyregion/ube
