They're actually CO molecules, not individual atoms, but still pretty neat.

This feels like yet another misapplication of CFAA. I can't really feel bad for someone figuring out a smart way to play an already rigged game.

Similar to his PAX East keynote from a few years ago. Great points from a nerd dad and nerd celebrity.

More depressing than surprising.

A huge step - this guy's coming out story makes the front cover of SI.

Fascinating how strongly this correlates with real-world census data, and that where it deviates it has an obvious explanation in the design choices of Facebook.

Hahaha.

Our incomplete understanding of how humans perceive faces may be hindering advances in automated face recognition.

Reasonable URL-finder.

Bite me!

More just goofy, especially the hair.

Not surprising, but... le sigh.

Amazing.

I expected him to sounds like the Simpson's stamp museum version.

Some great points. I agree we're in transition, and I too hope that the end of the TV business model (disruption, yet again) doesn't mean the end of shows.

I can't tell if any of the administrators involved in this are in serious trouble or not. I had never heard of the case from the '90s.

I'm confident Swarthmore will learn its lesson, but it's disturbing to me as an alum that it's taken this long.

We are called to not hate, and to be merciful, but damn it's hard.

I like the Requiem for a Dream reference and the commentary on oil usage.

I like that each individual band has the same pattern, and careful alignment produces low-resolution text with patterns. The art critic description is ridiculous.

Pretty cool test.

The civil justice system can handle terrorists as criminals. I also find it amusing that Graham advocates for Tsarnaev's enemy combatant status while having written the MCA amendment (I got confused on dates) that explicitly forbids that.

Justice, I think.

The key point: "America is so secure and free from suffering that people have the luxury of indulging in deliberate suffering in the form of excruciating physical exertion".

Stay away from shooting, don't video it.

Encouraging indeed that the military wasn't needed.

This is great reporting (I read the pieces out of order), but holy crap is it depressing. Trigger warning.

It is both shocking and not surprising that this gets mishandled by an institution that prides itself on care for the whole community, like Swarthmore.

We're not going to get any progressive legislation until we get the money system out of the hands of the few.
