Came here to reference Deming myself. One thing I've noticed in Deming's work (especially 14 points, sicknesses) is that by contextualizing and properly understanding the use of statistics he humanizes people in an organization. W

I agree that many of your points present legitimate difficulties with the use of public transit in the US as it currently exists. However, I think that the first two points are just as true for ride share as they are for public transit. Rid

Am I the only one who thinks standing for shorter flights of < 3 hours would be healthier and more comfortable? I work regularly at a standing desk, sitting for too long makes me feel lethargic and often causes headaches for me (it'

I haven't read all the comments in this thread, but I'm surprised at the outrage over a one-nickel tax. This seems like a fairly simple, straightforward rule. Is anyone going to decide not to Lyft/Uber over 5 cents? I don&#x2

It's relevant for at least two reasons, in my opinion. The first is that video games, like novels, are stories told through the the protagonist/s. If this character is always male, you miss out on a whole class of stories which ar

The question that needs to be asked here is how to get all installers using MSI. MSI is a secure, declarative format which runs off MS code in known directory. Because it's declarative, it can also be queried and tracked. I recently pa

If this can be made practical at any scale, I think the most exciting applications will be in long-range space drives. Although it sounds as though immense amounts of energy are needed, not needing to take along matter to eject in order to

It's ironic that an article about the awfulness of js on the modern web is rendered unreadable by javascript and/or flash: http://imgur.com/8Iikyd7 . The page literally crashed my browser on first view.

How much of this could be avoided if the application didn't use mongo? Needing to run a three-nice cluster out of the gate seems like a big part of the problem. Sure, you want backups and redundancy for any database, but there are situ

I wonder if anyone has run the data using body fat percentage instead of BMI. BMI is a very coarse metric that will sometimes label short and/or muscular people as overweight/obese when they are quite healthy (think football playe

What if the pallets formed a mesh network? They would only need to have low-powered antennas (< 100m range) to network effectively with one another, and some kind of reader that talked to one could know all the other pallets that that on

Surely if Zuck got half the world signed up for a network that does nothing but suck our eyeballs in return for money out of advertisers pockets, we could get a few million, even say, 10-20 million people using PGP. Remember that Tor was on

Maybe someone could research and patent a fungus or virus that only attacks roundup-ready plants? I wonder how much Monsanto would pay to bury that...

Check out GNUCash. I've been using it for about a year. Entering all your stuff is tedious, but it's open source and integrates with some banks (also import from Quicken and CSV).

It happens that 9 AM Brussels time is midnight pacific time. I'm sure Google is running some maintentance cron at midnight thinking "This is a low demand time," and it is, across the US, but not in Brussels. These are old instances, and Goo

Assuming it did cost them $2300, that would have only been about 1% of color.com. They got a steal.

Can someone come up with a way that any of the Zynga stuff (or even better, Facebook-generated content) genuinely infringes on their rights? If they start getting takedowns for things that make them money, that might make them think about r

Perhaps they could take more responsibility, but they certainly aren't worse than Apple. Remember how Apple was very hush-hush about the exploding/fire-catching Macbook batteries? That seems a more apples-to-apples comparison to a product t
