Given the general attitude toward Edward Snowden in the Valley, I can’t help thinking that a lot of these FBers who are so upset that their dirty laundry is being publicly aired were perfectly fine with Snowden doing the same with state sec

This issue's been around for awhile. See this post ( http://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/ ) from 2007. The problem actually inspired me to create a piece of kinetic sculpture I'll be off

His commanding officer had heard that something called the Manhattan Project was looking for soldiers, and told him to apply. “He knew I was a loudmouthed New Yorker,” said Dr. Bederson, who grew up in the Bronx. “He said, ‘Here’s your chan

I only just logged out to look for those links (and found them). If I'm logged in, I can't find them anywhere. Regarding HN's feed, all I know is, if I reset Feedly and Feedbunch (i.e., mark everything as read), after x minu

You really don't know what you're talking about. There is no evidence that the parachute entices pilots to take greater risks (if I'm wrong, by all means cite some), any more than car seat belts entice drivers to take more r

I'm always surprised by people who view the most powerful job on earth as an entry-level political position. The hubris and/or naivete indicated by their belief in their qualifications is enough to disqualify them from earning my

The bomb that was tested during Trinity was a plutonium, implosion device, completely different from the uranium, gun-type device dropped on Hiroshima. The designers were so confident of the latter that it was never tested before being dep
