    Why Do My Comments Disappear?

    I've noticed that any comment I submit is visible for a short while, but after several moments, disappears unless I am logged in. Why is this happening? Is this some kind of modera…

    My first thought was, "Holy Shit - this is awesome!" After the initial geek high wore off, I started to smell bullshit. After reading through his glossed over description of the D-…

    Hardly a "new instrument." A new interface != a new instrument. Typically, a new sound is the necessary condition for that label. As someone who works with music on a daily basis, …

    Thanks for asking for clarification; it seems many have totally missed the point of this. For okcupid to employ such a method, they must then be making assumption #4. However, peop…

    Interestingly, the universal answer set of these questions, from all of the women I've seriously dated, would be full! That is, every possible answer would be in the set. And I am …

    Judging physical attractiveness on dating sites isn't even a partially solved problem - I invite you to name the sites that you have found that are close, as a counterexample. How …

    Uploading photos isn't what supposedly sets okcupid apart, right? They aren't using physical attractiveness in their matching algorithms and that is the point I was trying to make.…
