Splendor

So this is essentially persistent DRAM?

Not all of the ice is water ice. Some is methane ice, carbon monoxide ice, etc. That being said, I've definitely heard members of the New Horizons team speculating about water ice being responsible for some of the mountains they've seen and even the idea of Pluto having an internal ocean at some point.

I would add Google's Python Class to the author's list.

And it has a cool light speed mode in the bottom right which really drives home the fact that even traveling at light speed isn't enough to get humans very far.

I prefer the interactive solar system on Josh Worth's site.

With a 248-year orbit around the sun those must be some long winters.

Exactly, I think the success of this crowdfunding campaign speaks more to the opportunity present in improving the durable medical equipment marketplace than it does to the promise of this particular device.

As of right now 5,365 people have registered their (non-binding) interest in $21,462,675 worth of shares -- making the average reservation ~$4k.

API Tellum?

I dig the idea. Nice work.

I would suggest settling on a single font for the top section of the landing page. Having different fonts for the logo and the text directly below looks a little strange to my eye (latest FF on Win7).

One additional variable would be the cost to replace any assets lost on the 1 unsuccessful launch, although I'm not sure who ultimately picks up the tab for that.

Instead of just letting people 'like' or 'favorite' users' photos, 500px assigns a score to each photo, from 0-100. They have an algorithm that factors in all the activity on a user's photo to assign that score. As the score increases the photo moves to different sections of the site (Fresh, Upcoming, Popular).

My relative posts a photo almost everyday and is always trying to figure out how to get a higher score; different photo subjects, posting at different times of the day, etc.

They're an interesting company IMO. They've done a good job of 'gamifying' photo sharing. I have at least one relative that's addicted to it and pays for an annual subscription.

I'm not sure how well they're doing business-wise. I did notice that they recently pivoted one aspect of their business. They used to facilitate users selling prints of their works; now they've dropped that service and are building a stock photo service instead.

Or let the user click the play button instead of autoplaying?

I'm not crazy about autoplaying video.

What's your favorite sugar-free water enhancer?

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool idea.

I'm fascinated by the digital-era implactions of activities like this -- listening to songs with your friends. What used to be a simple private act now possible involves questions like "does the Spotify account owner's license allow sharing in this context?" or "does sharing the music in this setting constitute a public performance?".

tl;dr: "He will not, however, be printing all 7,600 volumes."

I'm excited to see this type of information from Google but this post seems more like an announcemant that they released information and less like actual information.

I'm interested in why the EFF chose these companies to rate. For example, rating AT&T and Verizon but not Sprint and T-Mobile seems odd to me. Rating Snapchat but not Instagram almost makes sense becuase they're rating Facebook, but then they've rated WhatsApp separately.

This looks nice but until Kindle supports EPUB it's a no-go for me.

While reading about how European car makers like Porsche were toying with curved shapes in the 60s, all I could think about was Corvettes in the 50s.

> "TDS Deducted from Salary"

It would be helpful to explain initialisms like TDS for those who don't know.

I'd be curious to know how Google's decides which ideas are worth defending.

American football scores.

That's interesting. I'm unfamiliar with Operation Aurora. Can you recommend a good source for more information?

In case it matters, a credit freeze will also prevent services like Credit Karma from being able to access your information.
