While these things come in waves, I think there has historically been a massive amount of effort and funding by US state agencies to show the CIA, FBI, and/or DoD in a positive light in mass media. Targeted leaks to "safe" jo

There's a great book about the progression of clothing, textiles, and fabric being scarce and expensive to commonplace and cheap. It runs through the various technological innovations (think cotton gin, but plenty more), culture, and e

There's been some good research into the history of legal systems. See David Friedman's book Legal Systems Very Different From Ours [1]. There's a small section about prisoners. But a new chapter could definitely be written a

I think the reference is MSD partners, the family office (private investment company) of Michael Dell's fortune. They have been described as "patient capital" informally. I can't seem to find any articles using that phra

Wait what? Number 3 doesn't ring a bell. Which report specifically? Was that the exact phrase?

I think your links got messed up, they got cut off at the ellipses (...)

Awesome, added it to my twitter. After refreshing, I wish there was a way to remove "Promoted" tweets still.

Agreed - there are companies that specialize in ad-hoc towers to provide service. Example: Mobilitie in Chicago. Very important piece of mobile data infrastructure, but a rogue tower is still a real security risk.

While I agree with humane treatment of prisoners, that's a very slippery argument. Every prison is technically inhumane enough to send some people to attempt suicide.

I love the Costco Tillamook cheddar and my girlfriend loves the whipped cream we get from there. I used to drink 2-4 cups of whole milk / day when paying off my student loans and bulking but it seemed to affect my stomach poorly. So I

I love this type of list. I'm frugal, super busy (read: lazy), and powerlift so I try to make a minimum-cost, high-protein, easy meal-prep every week. Having a high protein / calorie ratio is primary, but keeping it low-cost is a

For all the people here that are downplaying the difficulty of getting into CS courses or degree programs please make sure to do some research. The article wades shallow in the details. It can be very difficult depending on the institution.

So they used mechanical engineering techniques you would learn junior year or earlier. I'm sure they used FEA on earlier helmets as well. This just sounds fancier. The next version is probably going to be called the DiffEq models. ht

Somewhat relevant: A friend took my phone (playfully) and posted this as a status on my profile a while ago. I left it up because I found it funny. Now that it's easier to delete I may actually just do that.

I'd agree. It saves a click (instead of right click, left click, it's just a left click on the bookmarklet). But it's not applicable for mobile and takes up space on your bookmarks bar. I think the next step to replace the mi

Amazing beer, agreed. Another recommendation: My favorite Munich-style weiss beer is from Franziskaner (founded in 1363). It's in my top 3 beers of all time.

I agree, I think there is a need for one of the big music streaming services to create a geo-fenced (or Wifi-fenced?) jukebox system. Can be used for bars, gyms, house parties, etc. Similar to Chromecast, but with filters to make sure the p

I didn't say that people who wear earbuds don't value awareness. I was just describing my particular preferences. Also, yes it is a viable solution. I've seen it work at a handful of gyms. Those who don't like it wear ea

I'm an avid gym-goer and I like the music on in the background. I don't wear earbuds because I value "awareness". I like being able to hear other happenings around me without them being blocked out. Same idea for public

I wish the author dipped into accelerationist philosophy and its adherents. Most accelerationists nowadays seem to be into Bostrom-esque singularitarianism and the idea of marching forward with unabashed capitalism as an 'optimum resou

I really like the article and it agrees with what we've been accomplishing at my company. Datasets top out at 2 GB and clients ask for "big data" solutions that don't make sense. My only complaint is that I don't fe
