> clearly guilty as hell I think you underestimate the power of neuroses. Good chance no money was involved.

It sounds like they don't really use it. Their about page says: We’re collecting data to find out if humans' pattern- recognition and puzzle-solving abilities make them more effici…

If a tree is planted, grows, and then for example is burned down and paved over, that'd be true. But if a tree grows and eventually dies in a forest, it'll be replaced with new tre…

I think s/he means evolutionary speaking.

$0. Left a 108k job, now developing recipestasher.com for free and fun on my own. Will probably get a real job again soon...

Living in a city does tend to produce fewer greenhouse gases. But the reason most people live in cities? Jobs.

Why draw the lines by state? Wouldn't income or race be better dividers?

That's like saying: let's ignore 58.55 million voters for no reason other than where they live. More than 18% of the entire US population. States are arbitrary dividers, it's silly…

I mean... He did lose the popular vote. So 'most' people didn't have an influence on the election. Or at least, the plurality of people.

Yeah, that's fair. I'm doing the same thing with recipestasher.com. I lose about $400/yr on it, but I really like using it and so do a few other people. No ads, no clickbait crap. …

I've tried asking multiple times (for non-emergency procedures) and each time they've said they don't know. (Kaiser)

First I thought this was Jim Dale - the amazing narrator of Harry Potter - and was pretty confused.

Apart from perhaps printing a boarding pass and (given security) food on very long flights, these all seem OK to me. Not charging for checked baggage is equivalent to taxing those …

But that's an inherently wrong way of looking at it. If you're traveling somewhere in a plane vs on the road, you're way more likely to die. Even if you factor own your own human e…

To save people time: I created an account but it still doesn't seem to work. Now the URL seems to always redirect to the login page.

Hmm. So the head of innovation at a company in France says that he believes solar (etc.) is in a J curve of upward growth. I'd like to know more about where his 1¢/kwh estimate is …

Yes, a little. A big issue is that people forget you're around, and so forget to include you, which makes you more disposable.

So, the cause of the corrupted photos still is undiscovered?

Yes, there are also quite a few grammar errors. Makes it hard to read.

It's kind of a bummer that she knew she wanted to work with computers the whole time but her parents thought it would be more responsible to be a secretary. Glad she got there.
