Really amazing live cover.

Many varieties of nothingness.

Your code will be punished.

I've always said code is art. Now code can make a lot of art, even without a lot of formal CS training.

Date standards are hard.

Inclusivity will always win.

Absolutely fascinating, and even more compelling than the Freakonomics abortion paper. Crime may just be yet another environmental problem.

I think this gets close to why I've never really liked the show.

Recomendation from Andrew Crusoe (5by5 jackal) for an editor.

Method for optimal compactness in Congressional districting, at the level of Census blocks.

It needs to be regulated like other utilities, but there's enough money in telecom lobbying right now to hold it at bay for years.

Nice arrangement of the Dwarves' Misty Mountain song from The Hobbit.

Spot on. You can't fixate on one without considering the context of the whole.

Sam makes a very good point about some of the reactions regarding mental health in the wake of the Newtown shooting.

Cute little homage.

An interesting idea, but the Constitution is way too tied up in our national myth to be replaced with something more modern.

The internet wins again.

Spot-on analysis of why this is (well, was) my favorite podcast.

Cross-marketing!

Really good study showing that many past studies showing a correlation with aggression used poor methodology.

Even though they reverted the TOS, it proved I can't trust them. I'm glad I left.

He's an interesting guy. I'm looking forward to Django Unchained.

This is probably my favorite of his since 2009's "Blame it on the Pop". I like the "tonight" theme.

Some good points, especially that introspection doesn't imply blame.

3-D definitely results in much weirder visual bugs than 2-D.

I mostly agree, but i never felt that sense of plodding, probably because I was trying to absorb every moment.

This is interesting data, and probably up-to-date enough (after Tucson shootings), but I think it misses a huge factor: urbanization. Almost all of their correlates are. as far as I know, strongly correlated with urban vs. rural.

Reminds me of Gaiman's "American Gods".

I disagree with most of this review's points, on both story and filmmaking technology.
