"It doesn't do anything useful and it only loads Saturdays at 3am, but it sure has some syntactically awesome stylesheets!" ...Anyway, it sounds good on paper.

They did NOT "slam on their brakes" and it was NOT a large hazard. I understand that, if something had happened, they would have FELT partly responsible. But it's the kind of respo…

I was thinking about how dangerous it was while I was reading it too, but I came away far less concerned than you I guess. The deceleration on the highway was the most worrisome, b…

Oh, and to veer back to being on-topic, I'd likely use it and I don't know of another service like it.

I like it. I agree that there are limits to what can be accomplished in such a short timeframe, but there's plenty of work that could fall within those constraints. I'm often asked…

love tensegrity! I'm working on a springy tensegrity bar stool.

Thank you for a great answer. I've known about this problem for a long time and never had a way to intuitively think about it. I will now be stealing yours. :)

"So our data crawling team built a simple algorithm that would crawl through the Today I Learned subreddit and count how many times a given article was submitted."

Without actually proffering an opinion on the government, your argument has a problem. To the extent that streamlining some bit of the government with software frees up resources t…

Good for Groupon...it's the right thing to do.

Good for him. I'd like to see more stories like this.

I love that he went a little crazy in public and the city residents just went with it.

I saw her speak once in college. She was a brilliant and engaging speaker.

Great article. I was just thinking "whoever told you that was high" when the author pivoted and said it was bad advice. The first comment was spot on...if the current is dragging y…

You really can't blame him for trying. If crypto-currencies supplant state-based currencies, especially if one were to crop up that would be less traceable than bitcoin, whole swat…

"We urge the British government to initiate an immediate and thorough public investigation..." And now, for another caricature of British victim speak: "Pardon me, Mr. Assailant, w…

"In this implementation, to maximise performance, we consider each individual byte of the file separately, and look it up in π."...love it!

I'm all-clear on all of those. Great site, btw.
