This model doesn't take into account orthogonal interest, which is what a recommendation engine would be most useful for. Say I like programming and knitting. Probably the similari…

I'd say it's to emphasis the actual output. Ideally, everything should be possible to do in the left window. If you go see someone building a house, the main object of interest is …

I like that they include a cute cat as a point of reference, so I can tell how outdated IE9 is by comparing it to Peak Lolcat on Google Trends[0]. I realize this is a bit unfair to…

Am I the only one who thinks this whole sharing business has gone a bit too far? Honestly, how many people would say that finding content is one of their biggest problems today? It…

The "Responsible, Serious and Altruistic" bit was a bit of a straw man I must admit. My point was basically that: 1) if pg doesn't have some well thought out and articulated perspe…
