Hahaha.

I hope this is as true as it sounds.

I would love to know how much Powell getting the NTCA gig depended on his deregulating them while at the FCC.

Some uncanny valley effects at points, but fun idea.

Nice clean explanation of their match algorithm.

Heh. I always liked Hermione. This is an amusing alternate take on the series (especially the bit about not obscuring the author as a woman).

Nope.

Massive regulatory failure - and probably no one will pay for it.

"Geekdom is not a club; it’s a destination, open to anyone"

I suppose I am a purveyor of this belief, and I have the means to do so; it helps that one thing I love is also relatively lucrative in our society.

A great point - all of these devices have to avoid the VCR programming problem for regular users.

English is pretty weird!

I don't expect this to change anything. Hopefully the water supply is declared safe soon.

I know they say "you're not a target", but that is so not the point.

It's pretty clear to me that games like SCMRPG! are a new wave of cultural artifact and commentary. It makes me sad that they're so vilified.

I love seeing theories confirmed by observation. I wonder how this interacts with that recent star system discovery.

Neat little story. Pretty art, no dialog. A lot of mysteries.

Some good points, especially that you can "fake it" if you look in-place.

Another set of anecdotes from a former Dish intern. He makes a good point about gay male bloggers being similarly targeted.

Two I've played and loved, plus one I've kickstarted. A number of others I need to check out.

Amusing that one of the burglars posed as a Swattie to case the office.

A tension between speech and harassment. I definitely don't know how to protect women online without building a system that could also be abused to suppress speech. I'm not sure which side is worse off, either. My inclination is to go after the culture that makes some men think this behavior is a good idea.

A beautiful machine, inside and out.

Very cool chance to test gravity out in space.

Interesting tale of duty.

Interesting connection behind Cards Against Humanity and one of the creator's work for Obama.

A case of epistemic closure. Can't even consider the question.

Glad to see the "paper of record" acknowledge his critical role in revealing these abuses.

Interesting thought. I definitely get a rush from making things, and I am blessed to be allowed to make things as part of my job. I am also easily distracted from the things I want to make.

Some cool data on Netflix's unusually specific film genres.
