In the future, I hope there's a blood test to check for susceptibility... There is already talk of a gene that many people who get fluoroquinolone toxicity have in common.

I had a single pill of levofloxin about three years ago (for pneumonia). I woke up the next day, barely able to walk, with mass tendonopathy (tendon loss) in my arms and legs. I di…

As an "anti-fluoride person", I just want to go on the record to state that it's ridiculous to be more concerned with riling up a particular group than having safe drinking water. …

All these physics-debunking conversations seem to assume a single source. I naively assumed that UBeam will work sort of like the Gamma Knife ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radios…

Well said, Josh. It's about constant iteration and improvement.

Likewise. It amazes me how long it's lasted. I agree with your sentiment about famous people. It feels really generic. I'm sure there's something better. We tested lots of interest…

I wrote this flow about 3 years, ago, and my face is still the Twitter teacher (see twitter.com/finkel). I haven't worked at Twitter for over a year. A few things. At least when I …

Love this essay. I read it years ago when my brother was working with Paul Lockhart, who deeply influenced him as a math teacher. My brother and his wife have since started an orga…

That's a great solution, actually. Think of it more like a credit card processing fee.

Anyone tried snapixel? http://www.snapixel.com/ Looks like it could be a decent Flickr alternative.

What card is that? (Just curious--sounds like a great deal).

I've been happy with Backblaze. Good cpu usage, and I restored files easily with a nice web interface. I switched from Mozy because the client was much more efficient. If you're lo…

I agree that this is a crap study, but I still wouldn't be quite so dismissive of any possible effects of WiFi just because it is so low energy. Why? Because the assumption that ev…

San Francisco, CA Fluther.com is looking for an new designer and a server engineer. We're in the mission, and we love darts. jobs@fluther.com

After a long stint with Vim (and a brief one with eclipse), I too have been using Komodo Edit. The vim bindings are good. The app is OS X is fine. (Though I had to hack the source …

Fluther ( http://www.fluther.com )

We've been using bazaar at Fluther for a while and I have to agree with the author's sentiment for the most part. The whole "Git is better" thing annoys me. Dvcs _are_ better, but …

We've been using a different nagios alternative, zabbix, for quite a while and I'm always surprised how few people have heard of it. The UI takes getting used to, but it's full fea…

Thanks, jimmybot. Yeah, something tailored would definitely be better. Google custom search is pretty weak, but it gets the job done for our users until we find the time to improve…

- We've been matching questions using an a sophisticated algorithm since before Aardvark launched. - We've been using real-time interaction also for years, and more recently added …

I agree with you about the Q&A wars shaping up, but I think you should include Fluther, which falls smack dab in the middle of this fray. It's also worth noting there are a number …

Yeah, I tried to address that in the end of the post. You'll notice links to two other site's data where the chunking is present but not nearly enough to make a horseshoe. Without …
