This is pretty trivial to implement in GA. I could see why people would want this service
He still could. In the AMA he seems to like Sanders a bit, but Lessig advocated a different approach that he "thought" would be more effective. Now that Lessig has realized it didn't work, I wouldn't be surprised by an endorsement.
The macbook is absurdly light. The Surface book weighs a little bit less than the 13 in macbook pro. The surface book competes with the macbook pro 13 more directly in terms of performance and price.
I'm skeptical that the core issue with twitter is abuse. It is certainly rampant and should be addressed. I'm skeptical an average users with 130 followers(a guess) experiences any abuse.
The on boarding of new users and the echo chamber effect seem like a much bigger issue.
intuitively people with higher incomes should more to charity. However, a recent study found the rich DO NOT give a higher proportion of their income to charity. Incomes of $25,000 or less a year gave away an average of 4.2 percent of their incomes; those with earnings of more than $75,000 gave away 2.7 percent.
There are certainly a number of things that could explain this.
totally on board with something like this. I never understand why people say market forces will solve global warming, pollution and the future of energy.
Pollution is THE textbook case for an externality. By definition it cant be fixed by the free market.
I haven't heard about that. do you have a source where I could read more?
It was MUCH worse before. a 27% reduction in poverty is pretty impressive in 4 years
Alaska solves this partially solves this problem by setting a timeframe. You must live there for 1 year. Same idea could potentially be used (but maybe extended because of larger $)
the z-indexing on this is maddening!
This actually looks really useful.
Only thing I agree on in this article is that equity based crowdfunding is a bad idea
totally broke when i tried to snip.ly the medium post

Checking my twitter feed, a new tweet with an image appears(bottom). It previews the middle of the image. On refresh the image preview is now cut around her face. Is twitter using facial recognition for better image previews?https://www.dropbox.com/s/owxk49rksp6fcsg/twitter-screen.png
wow this is eerily similar to what we are doing at Purdue with The Anvil Cowowrking space:
