I always like Tim on the show, but he did seem so much more reckless than many of the other "Chasers"

He was actually known to be one of the safest in the field. They just have to add a little bit of drama for television.

It would be interesting to see if this is viable as a food source for genetically modified bacteria to convert into biofuel.

The article describes that it already gets converted by non-engineered bacteria into a biofuel - called methane. it's just that building processing tanks and methane capture equipment is expensive. Not like nuclear power plan expensive, but a million bucks is a lot of capital investment for a farmer - note that some farmers already do this to process animal manure.

Wow. I was iffy on the OP to begin with after he basically proclaimed that he had reinvented online dating by essentially cloning www.mysinglefriend.com, and this just confirms it.

This whole post smacks of arrogance. Essentially you want us to pat you on the back for giving a big, public “F you” to a competitor because you ASSUME that him wanting to chat means they want to acquire you? If this is how you act in casual online encounters then I’m starting to understand why online dating hasn’t worked out for you.

Well, online dating really is a gigantic clusterfuck. I'm not in the market (found my partner, of three years, on OkC), but I despised the process while I was doing it.

I read the initial post and thread about it and was skeptical, but my thought was mostly along the lines of "go for it! There must be a way to significantly improve online dating, and I certainly don't have any better ideas."

Now I just think he's a dick, though, and emotionally root for his failure. Why the hell be nasty to someone for no reason except free PR?

It's very hard for someone to know they're acting in a creepy or inappropriate way, so people blame the tools they're using very often. Also the founder here probably feels it's a great disadvantage to them to give any credit to okcupid.

Frankly the post confused me at first because when I used okcupid a year or two ago I found it to be easily the best tool available for what it does, and the post claimed there was a consensus that okcupid was terrible.

So she was born in 1908, but Facebook changes it to 1928, yet lists her as 99 years old? Something doesn't add up there... Sounds like some BS journalistic license has been taken.

The least they could do is get the name of the product correct.

I used to work for a company that used a series of excel sheets to calculate the price of investment funds. Sure, it was a primitive technique and sometimes a real pain in the ass, but it gave us the flexibility to make adjustments as needed.

While I was there they were beginning to transition to a Microsoft Dynamics based system, which turned out to be a nightmare. Maybe it was a case of bad developers, but the guys working on this system seemed oblivious to the actual mechanics of what they needed to build.

When you’re working with time sensitive data, making a few adjustments in excel rather than logging requests to have some code fixed or updated can make a lot more sense.

How can someone who is a designer choose such a poor font for their won website? Specially given that he is talking about designing text graphics

I thought I was the only one who suddenly felt like I needed glasses. Very blurry/out of focus looking
