As an engineer at Yelp it's really difficult to sit back and listen to people lambast your product or business practices as unethical, especially when they claim that we take actions requiring capabilities that I, as en engineer, know do not exist. At any rate, via one of my colleagues, here's a reasonably balanced article that stands out amidst the absurdity. 2009-02-20T17:52:40+00:00 694 2009-02-26T02:18:49+00:00 http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10168065-93.html?tag=newsLeadStoriesArea.1 via rhettg 2009-02-20T17:43:42+00:00 692 2009-02-20T17:43:42+00:00 http://www.drunkrepublic.com/humor-articles/97-when-your-credit-card-signature-fun-backfires motion pictures re-imagined as novel covers. 2009-02-19T22:09:51+00:00 691 2009-02-19T22:09:51+00:00 http://spacesick.blogspot.com/2009/01/i-can-read-movies-series.html "In a blast from the past, NASA reports that Spirit's solar panels have received a much-needed cleaning courtesy of the Red Planet.

The rover uses about 180 watt-hours per day for basic survival and communications, so this increase roughly doubles the amount of discretionary power for activities such as driving and using instruments." 2009-02-18T18:01:42+00:00 690 2009-02-18T18:01:42+00:00 http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/02/18/1943214&from=rss awesome. via audrey. 2009-02-10T19:49:46+00:00 686 2009-02-10T19:49:46+00:00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0977910601/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link despite the fact that it's in USA Today, this is supposedly not a joke. 2009-02-10T13:51:19+00:00 685 2009-02-10T13:51:19+00:00 http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/02/tv-report-eight.html "The state's 33 prisons were designed for 84,000 inmates, and they now hold 158,000...The rest of the 170,000 in the correctional system are in out-of-state prisons and other facilities.

To Chesterfield, singular focus was not merely a practical way to structure one's time; it was a mark of intelligence... E-mails pouring in, cell phones ringing, televisions blaring, podcasts streaming--all this may become background noise, like the 'din of a foundry or factory' that [William] James observed workers could scarcely avoid at first, but which eventually became just another part of their daily routine. For the younger generation of multitaskers, the great electronic din is an expected part of everyday life. And given what neuroscience and anecdotal evidence have shown us, this state of constant intentional self-distraction could well be of profound detriment to individual and cultural well-being. 2008-06-23T15:24:48+00:00 526 2008-06-23T15:24:48+00:00 http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/23/0211244&from=rss A little window into the lives of people with different hobbies than me 2008-06-19T15:31:30+00:00 521 2008-06-19T15:31:30+00:00 http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/010315.html I would really, /really/ like to have a drink with this guy 2008-06-19T15:27:57+00:00 520 2008-06-19T15:27:57+00:00 http://valleywag.com/5017424/stewart-butterfields-bizarre-resignation-letter-to-yahoo Very thorough review of a bunch of moleskine-like notebooks 2008-06-19T15:23:37+00:00 519 2008-06-19T15:23:37+00:00 http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2008/06/01/sweet_decay.html Includes a nice graph of the value of a first gen iphone over the last year 2008-06-16T17:40:49+00:00 512 2008-06-16T17:40:49+00:00 http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2008/0609_investing_st.php by way of mstop, an interesting new hashtable algorithm with superior performance. 2008-06-04T16:53:44+00:00 483 2008-06-04T16:53:44+00:00 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckoo_hashing 2008-05-22T15:58:37+00:00 231 2008-06-01T15:40:55+00:00 http://www.conservation.org/fmg/pages/videoplayer.aspx?videoid=30 I wish all my programs achieved their design goals so spectacularly 2008-05-15T13:46:38+00:00 232 2008-06-01T15:40:55+00:00 http://hop.perl.plover.com/cover.html courtesy of evan k. 2008-05-08T16:21:55+00:00 233 2008-06-01T15:40:55+00:00 http://www.revisionism.nl/Moon/The-Mad-Revisionist.htm via DISCOVER Magazine 2008-05-08T11:00:47+00:00 234 2008-06-01T15:40:55+00:00 http://discovermagazine.com/photos/01-each-grain-of-sand-a-tiny-work-of-art?dupe a street art monthly 2008-05-06T00:16:18+00:00 235 2008-06-01T15:40:55+00:00 http://oddwall.com/ From the website: <em>The financial district, Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf, Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill and Nob Hill San Francisco as viewed from across the bay in Sausalito.
