GMail was definitely best in class for web mail when it rolled out, and if something has taken its lead, I don't know what it is.

I'm not sure I would go that far. Some considered Slotin's methods dangerous: 'Enrico Fermi himself had warned Slotin that he would be “dead within a year” if he continued'.

It's easy to understand. Open plan offices have the advantage of being cheaper, and the disadvantage of harming productivity. The cost savings are immediately apparent and easily attributed. Productivity hits (or gains) come later, a

I dunno, if you have been gestating a foal, you might be a little undernourished at the end of the process, so a placenta's worth of nutrients might then be "vital."

"Third, a city-level analysis such as ours does not suffer from a common problem with individual-level studies, namely that individuals exposed to lead typically come from poor neighborhoods with both low-quality housing and high crime

From the sound of it, "do nothing" would be no less effective, and a bit cheaper.

Why do you need data for somewhere the car may never go? The car knows where it's going; it can get the data it needs when it needs it.

Oh, man, the comments section on that article is a dog's breakfast.

I think that's a neat idea, but I personally would be nervous about smearing grease all over my tablet, or spilling fluids on it, or dropping it -- something that happens to almost every other tool at one point or another. As a referen

You might want to pick up the Chilton's or Haynes manual for your vehicle and start from there. Most of these manuals will have a section describing how you perform basic maintenance on the vehicle. It's how I learned.

That's the lovely thing about this piece. Often times when I read these thinkpieces, I know a bit about the author and his or her biases, and have to exercise some discipline to not let that color my opinion of the article too much.

The latter won't matter if they do as my pack did, where each race had three heats and each car raced in all three lanes. But yeah, get your wheels right and polish the heck out of your axles.

It takes only a small amount of induction to conclude that given the number of death row exonerations pre-execution, there almost certainly have been innocent persons executed. If you hold out for conclusive proof, you will probably not fin

Yes, of course. However, the primary evidence we have that Glossip ordered the killing is the testimony of the guy who actually did the deed, and who avoided a death sentence in exchange for that testimony. It's a little fishy.

Not the founding team. Some guys who contributed 10-20 hours one time. The guys who built the MVP .

That grant would be bigger than anything any subsequent engineer would earn, and it's beyond dubious to think the contribution of this guy -- who's patting himself on the back for figuring out a CRM schema -- is worth more than t

It's almost like attempting to traumatize the kid and his peers for no good reason and for what? That's pretty simple -- their "authority" depends on never, ever, admitting that they were wrong.

The old, grim joke was "a tactical nuke is one that explodes in Germany." But yeah, small and designed to be delivered against enemy troop concentrations, as opposed to the larger strategic weapons that are designed to be used aga

The technique is known as "running the stops." There's a description here: http://www.mypivots.com/dictionary/definition/121/running-th... Basically, you don't know the stops are there; y

The same "not sticking our noses into other people's relationships" was the root of the Family Values crowd in the 80's saying that domestic violence is a family issue, incest is a family issue, etc. Where do you draw t

Seriously. I love me some beer, but would not tolerate a group that expressed disapproval of a refusal to drink.

Yeah, it's obviously that and not anything to do with the attitude you project.

Oh, the star-bellied Sneetches bear blame, all right. How they found out about the plain-bellies doesn't change that. What does change is who else might be responsible, and who among them bears blame. Your neighbor is responsible, bu

Let's say that the star-bellied Sneetches are rounding up the plain-bellied Sneetches and sending them to -- well, you're not exactly sure where they're sending them, but none of them have ever come back. Needless to say, the

It sounds like the Impact Team can't get their story straight on what their real intent actually is.

I think there's enough moralizing dripping from Impact Team's preamble to the release to support Thomas' suggestion. "We have explained the fraud, deceit, and stupidity of ALM and their members ." "Chances are

Yes. I've heard this compared to the recent "Fappening" where celebrities' private photos were stolen. I'd have a hard time justifying the AM leaks without justifying the leaks of the stolen photos.

If I understand correctly, these are planned orders that are un-planned days if not hours before they go out to the exchange, not orders that are sent to the exchange but cancelled before they can be filled. The latter is what the market ma
