This is addictive but aggravating. I chose Space for the clue Planet and nope bomb card!
I was impressed when we pulled off a victory by GPT correctly connecting Wimbledon to Grass+London the round after it failed to choose London from MI6. Some of its clues are hilariously bad though. I lost a game…
I have played Avalon a few times but never with the Percival mechanic. However I don't think that being "shameless" can be the dominant strategy. If you make it so you must be either Percival or Merlin the opponents can…
Amusingly this can be interpreted as that the vote for which voting system to use uses first-past-the-post so first-past-the-post wins.
>I agree, and I like the size of my smaller house. That said, there are some ways that I think the space could be better utilized... for example, we have 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, all of which are smaller than you'd see…
I just bought an old house(1920s) and so have been doing a lot of thinking about how much better the layout of surviving old houses are. 1. Natural lighting. I generally do not need artificial lights in the daytime in…
I would pay $2 to $10 per month to remove all adds from youtube. I would not bother with this.
If we had powerful enough telescope that we could see a civilization growing up 1000 light years away we could record it and provide it as a gift for when we finally meet. Or maybe there is someone out there doing that…
From a developer's standpoint it does matter. Every OS version, hardware version is another platform you have to support and test against. Even on identical hardware with an incremental version difference it is not…

Google seems to be the expert in heart-warming commercials. Remember their first super bowl ad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ4unnMgiSQ
The issue with linux containers is (or at least it used to be) that it is possible for a malicious user to 'break out' of the container. Has this problem been solved?
I remember you could define an array to be indexed by an enumerated type which was nice. I haven't seen that done elsewhere.
One thing that leaps out at me from the few successful YC applications I've read is some of the informal language used. For instance, I would never write 'Most banks suck at technology' If it was still legal when I was…
That was more or less my point. Krugman provides no evidence that the Google Reader follows that model. It is an opinion article entitled 'The Economics of Evil Google.' After the first paragraph there is no reference…
I am not an economist but I don't see why being a monopoly or not has anything to do with it. Would a not-monopoly be able to make a profit if it had high fixed costs and no ability to price discriminate? That's without…
After reading the article several times it seems to me that it has nothing to do with Google. The idea that a company that can't price discriminate and isn't able to make a profit to provide a useful good is…
If you want to see Moore's Law in action today you really need to look at GPUs rather than CPUs. Increased performance in recent years has mostly come from increased parallelization which has limiting returns on the…
I can't see the point of this keyboard but if it is a good thing to have the letters run from a-z starting from the top-left it seems like the numbers should start with 1(or 0) on the top-left as well.
I think it would be very simple to solve the problems indicated in the article. Just charge some amount of money to send a message on the dating site. It would cut down on the total number of messages and people(men)…
