Gosh I hope they are controlling for time-of-day, day-of-week, and weather considering how closely packed together those 300 interviews were.

Most people assume that it's horrible up here but to give you a "sort of" average idea for the whole country, you are looking at a range between a hot month of 30C and a cold month…

Is it a fluke that when I clicked the NYT link from HN, I hit the paywall, but when I clicked it from NewsDiffs ( http://newsdiffs.org/article-history/www.nytimes.com/2014/08... ),…

Peanuts and hot sauce/peppers? I realize that's not all Thai food, but a lot of people start with a dish containing those things. Like when someone says Korean food doesn't agree w…

I bet pregnant women would like a version of this which supported their body weight sporadically throughout the day, especially in the late third trimester. Hell, I want one to hel…

a simple version to start could be stat1_stat2 (8 7)

my goodness I am slow today. some combination of my browser and dev environment mashed your page so i only saw the first kind of stats. okay, so start charging money :D

i like this idea. add cumulative stats and charge money and you've got a business

I think you only don't get the 15 rep for selecting your own answer as the correct one. Upvotes still give you rep.

I'm simply glad you turned your thinking around. I've applied at startups and other companies that seem disappointed I can't immediately point out for which team or project I'd lik…

Only when there are "calm magnetic field conditions?" Not that I know what calm vs stable MF would be. I wonder if it correlates with something else other than sun's position?

Thanks for the high school reading list flashback :D

Agreed. I think this should have been anonymized outside of Buffer. There are so many possibly repercussions with family, friends, and outsiders, in addition to the things brought …

Personally have no interest in the product (not a smoker), but I am curious about a few things: 1. how long does a refill last? how do you quantify it? in # of normal cigarettes? m…

"These findings could have implications for formula, which could be tweaked to optimize development for both boys and girls." As the father of a little girl, I find this sentence m…

Agreed. Not only more R&D in Ottawa but the fact that a a tech company's HQ is here is a positive. So many tech in Ottawa for R&D, but with their leadership silo'd in Toronto or an…

While I agree that some better hinting is necessary, there is an About link at the top and it's not that hard to get some details about this project through it. It's pretty intuiti…

I like this a lot. My wife and I have been having fun coming up with names for the past 15 minutes. It does need a bit of polishing but not to the degree some commenters here are s…

It's interesting how often people talk about looking for the scrolling hint. Until (sort-of-)recently, the presence of the _scroll bar_ was the hint, and it worked well for the mul…

Can someone explain to me why BlackBerry gets so much negativity for trying to regain relevance, whereas there's much more positive thoughts for startups trying to pivot to do the …

That sounds fantastic!

This reminds me of my dad teaching me how to make a "poor man's burger" when you don't have any beef. Basically you just toast the bun and then throw on all the condiments. It's su…

I remember a time roughly 20 years ago when this was commonplace. Newspapers folded up into quarters (roughly today's tablet computer size, actually) and held on the lap waiting fo…
