Exactly. So far they've demonstrated nothing more than a camera.
One Intrade commenter from London claimed he was set up to earn about $20,000 in arbitrage against Betfair. If you expect the manipulation to continue over a period of time (which I certainly did, and wished I could…
But what happens once people get used to the new duration of the yellow light? Do they approach it based on what they're used to from all the other yellow lights they've ever seen? Then the longest yellow light in the…
Given that three people posted a link to the same parody video within three minutes of each other, I'm forced to assume that Adam Curtis is a brilliant filmmaker.
I had no idea you could get faculty from another institution to be on your thesis committee. More importantly, I had no idea PhD students could do summer internships to supplement their measly stipends. If I knew that I…
What separates Rothko and Pollock from the artists in the link is that other people have tried to capture what they captured, and failed. I never got it until I finally saw other rectangle blobs and other paint…
Tell me when they can grow me a new inner ear and cure tinnitus. I want to experience the tranquility of true silence, and I want it from something other than the cold embrace of the grave.
I think he's referring to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPILhiTJv7E
Does he mean he's writing a book about this experience? I guess it will be like Flowers for Algernon, but inverted.
It's easier than general relativity, is that good enough?
I've been wondering how easily a situation could arise in which an underdog could try something like this on Kickstarter and give up, and end up having done nothing but provide free research into market demand that a…
Am I really in a <1% minority of people who right click site logos to open the main page in a new tab and start a separate browsing path?
I think that one could be interpreted as merely warped.
I don't think the exclusivity was a long-term strategy, but rather a natural progression from its beginning as a site for Harvard undergrads. It was really useful at providing specific needs for college students at the…
Maybe it would work if you designed a language with structured editing in mind from the start.
Now I'm disturbed by the lack of parens. What about situations where I have one pair of parens exactly contained in another, like in a one-argument defmethod? Edit: Now I see that I didn't notice that this situation…
You can see R movies as long as there are no Mormons in your class. Poor Mormons... I bet none of their friends called them for at least a month after the big movie-watching week at the end of each school year.
I'd like to see a controlled experiment. Are you willing to take the Pepsi Challenge?
Why now? It doesn't escape my notice that an influential British magazine is majorly dissing the Argentine government just as Britain and Argentina are getting into another tiff over the Falklands and a bunch of oil is…
Nobody's mentioned tiling? And then also tiling. And then tiling and more tiling, and then the good part is coming up and--tiling. And here's the big play and it looks like they might just make a touchdow--tiling. I…
Maybe it's like FFVIII, where the monsters level up as you do.
"Warning: Life is addictive but unremunerative." That's how I feel about lowercase life so far.
I have to wonder how much benefit you're really getting from that coupon program if everybody is getting them. At grocery stores you basically have to use a club card to get the same prices you could have gotten if the…
No mention of an OpenGL update. Still waiting out this stone age here...
The fact that the previous article created a stir is precisely why the WSJ published this one.
