Came here to reference Deming myself. One thing I've noticed in Deming's work (especially 14 points, sicknesses) is that by contextualizing and properly understanding the use of st…

I agree that many of your points present legitimate difficulties with the use of public transit in the US as it currently exists. However, I think that the first two points are jus…

Am I the only one who thinks standing for shorter flights of < 3 hours would be healthier and more comfortable? I work regularly at a standing desk, sitting for too long makes me f…

I haven't read all the comments in this thread, but I'm surprised at the outrage over a one-nickel tax. This seems like a fairly simple, straightforward rule. Is anyone going to de…

It's relevant for at least two reasons, in my opinion. The first is that video games, like novels, are stories told through the the protagonist/s. If this character is always male,…

The question that needs to be asked here is how to get all installers using MSI. MSI is a secure, declarative format which runs off MS code in known directory. Because it's declara…

If this can be made practical at any scale, I think the most exciting applications will be in long-range space drives. Although it sounds as though immense amounts of energy are ne…

It's ironic that an article about the awfulness of js on the modern web is rendered unreadable by javascript and/or flash: http://imgur.com/8Iikyd7 . The page literally crashed my …

How much of this could be avoided if the application didn't use mongo? Needing to run a three-nice cluster out of the gate seems like a big part of the problem. Sure, you want back…

What if the pallets formed a mesh network? They would only need to have low-powered antennas (< 100m range) to network effectively with one another, and some kind of reader that ta…

Surely if Zuck got half the world signed up for a network that does nothing but suck our eyeballs in return for money out of advertisers pockets, we could get a few million, even s…

Maybe someone could research and patent a fungus or virus that only attacks roundup-ready plants? I wonder how much Monsanto would pay to bury that...

linux is completely described by its source code.

Check out GNUCash. I've been using it for about a year. Entering all your stuff is tedious, but it's open source and integrates with some banks (also import from Quicken and CSV).

Only the state of California may issue phony currency, apparently.

It happens that 9 AM Brussels time is midnight pacific time. I'm sure Google is running some maintentance cron at midnight thinking "This is a low demand time," and it is, across t…

Can someone torrent this? I couldn't finish downloading the entire thing.

Assuming it did cost them $2300, that would have only been about 1% of color.com. They got a steal.

As I write this, the value of bitcoin is at an all-time high. I dispute that this article has actually "killed" bitcoins.

How does an article with 71 points that's been up for 2 hours beat an article with 300+ that has been up for 1 hour?
