The link isn't NY Times, but it agrees with you; according to Netflix people tend to binge watch 2-3 episodes a sitting. It makes sense, that's roughly the length of a movie. http:…

I just talked with a driver. He said the 80% is correct, gross. Because everyone is a contractor the government takes another 30% on top of it. Plus they have to pay their own insu…

Where are you getting the 80% number? The drivers I talked to have told me it's much lower.

You just have to pay off the few people who report the results.

I think it's because the article clearly names the two researchers, while WIRED is a faceless organization. It's a lot easier to get mad and blame the one with a face.

I don't think he was trying to be snarky. I thought the same thing when I first clicked on the link.

Same experience here. Back when I used Telerik they where some of the largest and slowest components I'd ever seen. Even their own homepage was unbearably slow at the time. This wa…

That was the idea behind ActiveX. Instead of continuing development on the browser, people could just write an ActiveX component. Or A Java Applet.

Don't forget gay marriage and climate change.

Keep the slider and faces, it's the best part of the UI. If it was one of those lame pick a number things, I wouldn't have done it.

Interesting, do you have a source so I could learn more?

I have a friend who's small business was killed by Paypal. He had a board game shop (about five employees), but most of his business was online. He used Paypal as his bank account …

I agree. The definition of nerd is: "a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious."

Serious question: Biogenesis says that Life creates life or, (I'm paraphrasing) organic matter creates more organic matter. The disproval of Vitalism shows that non-organic matter …
