Robert Wood in a 1909 experiment proved more carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere reflect the sunlight and reduce sun heating. Quite the opposite of what t…

We did hire a prostitute for a depressed friend to make him feel better. Not openly. I have no idea how it works for your company, that's why I wrote "maybe". Your trying to be jud…

The author is from Britain, which is much better mapped in OSM than the US.

I agree with the commenter who points out that the culture is not dominant, and if it's that bad, it won't have much acceptance. And all who care of the sexism in IT, geek culture,…

The fed money transfers from Moscow to Caucasus and nat. republics are huge, and that's their deal: Moscow pays, the republics' rulers provide near 100% votes.

In this case it's an obvious fraud, but technically such an outcome is possible and legal: voters can take a special paper and vote at another spot, rather than their home one (say…

Not at all. The majority of the people aren't that fool. I'd say you can't fool others at all: earlier or later this gets discovered. A small number of the ruling party supporters …

I don't believe in these numbers. Badoo's strategy is scraping other social networks and spamming you and your friends with emails, pretending they sent messages to you and you to …

This looks impressive, but I think an SVG image would be just enough and the right tool for single-color logos like those of Adobe, Twitter and Nike. For Nike it will be just a bac…

I agree that even this book is good enough. The main thing is try thinking of what others get from you, and curiously thinking of what you thinking of yourself. I can recommend the…

No I can't :) But some societies have quit drinking hard or smoking, so getting off a widely accepted addiction is possible.

As Paul Graham noticed earlier, computers became something like TV on the working desktop, smartphones are even a more danger. I hope in my lifetime I'll see something new to displ…

I work on a private project, a set of tests for polyglots. I plan to commercialize it in the future, but right now it's unclear when this happens. Right now it's a website with a m…

I am really disappointed seeing the "yet familiar" argument behind the C-like syntax. It takes a day to get used to Python syntax, and another day to make it subconscious, that is …

Python has a great, clean, compact and expressive syntax and a lot of syntactic sugar. Erlang does concurrency and error handling well. A mix of the two would be a great language t…

This was the most useful episode of the series that I've seen. Basically, before watching this I had no idea of the most fundamental feature of Javascript, which is events loop and…

Here's a set of videos on YouTube with Monderman on site in Drachten explaining what's been done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo3KWHqmDhA&feature=relat...

This article seems too simplistic and an immature viewpoint to me. 1. People do note if you are interested or not. Speaking all the time mostly equals to being self-centered. Makin…

An irrelevant degree takes some years that you could invest into a working experience, and more importantly, it delays maturity. But it can give you a valuable knowledge (of course…
