I also notice that on the SugarString website one of the front page stories is about anonymous browsing with Anonabox, so the DailyDot article is very suspect.
From what I can tell the policy was expressed in an email TFA references: "Downside is there are two verboten topics (spying and net neutrality)"
Every media outlet has an editorial policy that you need to know, whether it's New York Times of Fox News. I'm kind of okay with a Verizon backed site not covering those topics, since nobody would believe anything they reported anyway. Plus there is plenty coverage on those subjects elsewhere.
You'll still be off by 5%, and you've had to talk to 4,000 people instead of a million people.
Plus with a statistical approximation you can tweak the estimate as needed to give a different population when you want to gerrymander a congressional district (e.g. allowing for commuters to avoid an over count in cities).
Yea, they really shouldn't call it a census; the article refers to it as "population density". But it does provide an interesting view of where people are during the day or on certain days (workdays, holidays, weekends, etc), something a regular census can't provide.
Meaningful Competition Drives Progress: a vibrant, diverse marketplace, with transparency in offerings, pricings, and policies will spur innovation, increase investment, and lower prices. Communities, residents, and businesses should have a meaningful choice in providers.
I don't see how a government takeover will enhance competition. Mostly it will increase the cost of cable TV, at least until some other group decides that watching prime time TV is a fundamental human right.
American English would usually use "burned" as the verb (measures calories that were burned) and "burnt" as the adjective (measures burnt calories). It the article's sentence it seems you could interpret it either way.
British (and Americans who think it sounds more sophisticated) tend to use "burnt" as the verb.
Both New York and New Jersey are quarantining people who arrive from west African countries where Ebola is present. So it's as much as a Cuomo (D-NY) quarantine as a Christie (R-NJ) one.
But as with all statistics you have to check the small print, in 1970 I was drafted for the military (10% of males) and the average length of conscripts was already 1m86.
I don't know how men were selected for the draft, but I suspect there's some selection bias if only 10% were picked. But you make a good point, boys growing up in the 50's through today certainly had better nutrition and healthcare than those growing up during the Depression and WWII.
IBM is a marketing company. Their product line is a hodge podge of mismatched technology from companies they bought that doesn't work together, so they also sell consulting too.
It's correct to account for both direct and indirect costs. Gross Margin, Operating Income, and EBITA don't mean all that much; if they're negative you have a real problem, but if they're positive you can still be losing your shirt.
This article looks like an attempt to reopen the discussion about libraries in Canada discarding some old manuscripts. Nice try, but submitter picked a poor example.
schools still run on a nineteenth century industrial paradigm
It's worse than that. It's okay for a school to spend extra time and money on slow students, but getting extra resources for top performers is discrimination.

Apparently one of the books in your library is An Essay on the Principle of Population. Somehow people manage to come up with alternatives to starvation.

This seems more like a couple of design firms tossing out ideas, kind of like what we used to see in Popular Mechanics.
That they run on the same lines by the same companies is not part of the conversation
You can't separate them. Take away half of the revenue that the existing connection brings in the other half will need to make it up.

Wouldn't it be more cost effective to build your house underneath a high voltage power line?
I like how Mass Effect realized the difference between AI and VI
How could anyone not understand the difference between Artificial Intelligence and a text editor?

CNN says she was " put in an isolation tent inside University Hospital in Newark"
Christie did everything right after the hurricane by working with FEMA. Blanco and Nagin did everything wrong by keeping FEMA out.

Shouldn't the 19th and the 20th say dinner was a Repeat of the day before?
Agreed. I was thinking this is more related to unreasonable search and seizure - Fourth Amendment.

Unreasonable search and seizure is a different issue. Submitter mentioned "just compensation" which has nothing to do with these seizures.
Just compensation has nothing to do with this.
She already has a lawyer, and I'm sure he's going to get a very substantial settlement.

Apparently the publishers didn't want to exercise that right.
