    I love the effort, it is absolutely worth praise. That being said, this is one of the last things I expected to show up on the internet.

    What is more interesting is that I can see anyone who has had their accounts breached. I now know that I can collect one of my friend's cell number from the snapchat breach or that…

    27 would be correct if each side were independent random variables rather than the cube of a random variable. The way the problem is set up you are suppose to solve for E[a^3] (the…

    I can understand google trying to protect their revenue source, but actions like this undermine the openness of the platforms that they are trying to promote. Open and free platfor…

    This is a very cool use of html as a medium to tell a story and keep the player involved. Defiantly want to see more games in a similar style!

    It was really only a matter of time before this happened, regulation of trade (and the taxation thereof) is one of the main tasks of a government.

    Pretty cool project, but I feel kind of dirty having js and html being so tightly bound to each other. Do you have a specific use case where pithy would perform faster or be more c…

    Awesome idea to help make capturing data more easy, but how will you deal with the problem of the curse of dimensionality? As you start to capture more variables you data begins to…

    I have not read this book, but I can say that javascript powerful when you ask the question: what can I do with a closure?

    Be careful to not get caught up in making something too pretty. It might help get some initial sign ups, but people will leave quickly if the app is not useful.

    The author's argument for this post is rather poor. He states that the raw data plot is noisy and weakly correlated, thus no relationship can be drawn by averaging the data into se…

    Just as a heads up, I cannot scroll to the bottom of your page. I keep bouncing as I hit the bottom and end up with 'Start using Squash' being cut in half. Screen res: 2560x1440

    Regardless of the message the Microsoft is trying to deliver here they could at least make a website that does not make me close the tab in the first 10 seconds. What a mess.

    I use an adblocker for everything. I do try to buy stuff from the stores of websites that I like to support them and encourage a revenue model that does not annoy me.
