Though it might also be worth mentioning that Tumblr is a total pain in the * to use precisely because of that customization. Every dang page is different and I never know what to click. Worse, Tumblr is so slow that every wrong click is an expensive loss of time and patience. On the rare occasion that I find a Tumblr worth following, I just use the RSS feed because the site is too frustrating.

This was discussed in the book "Flashboys". The real challenge with high speed trading in the long distance communication between the stuff on Wall Street and the commodities action going on in Chicago. That long distance communication is what many of these towers are being used for.

I've been using Duolingo to learn Italian. It was awesome up until about 40% fluency, then it lost its effectiveness. It was a great way to learn basic vocabulary and sentence structure, but after that I learned more by just reading my news in Italian.

Yes! This cannot be stressed enough.

Not just for car accidents, but this is true for emergencies in general. Always check your surroundings!

For example, if you find a guy laying on the sidewalk, he could have stepped on a down power line, slipped on ice, or recently gotten attacked by some punk who might still be nearby. If you don't know why he is unconscious, proceed with caution.

What, if any, effect might this have on Android, given that its all Java?

I came here to ask about that too. From what I've heard elsewhere, it sounds like Google is smart enough to figure out if you are posting unrelated content just for SEO purposes, and that engaging in such practices is a good way to get Google-smacked.

If it's just JSON, can't you do this:

head -10 myfile.json

My thought too, especially when I noticed the typo:

"...similar tastes to extrapolate how much the you will like some other movies..."

Headline bait. I was expecting some exciting breakthrough in nuclear reactor technology or something.
