Agreed. I dread having to use Algolia search on documentation these days. The search results feel pretty naively selected, and the UI is pretty poor. I get that people want to deploy static sites, but can we please find a way to bring back search _pages_?

Do you mean Museum of Pop? (not Rock & Roll Hall of Fame)

Who are the cronies that are benefiting from the L-train shutdown?

The article makes it seem like the company is forcing pescatarianism (not vegetarianism) down people's throats. But unless you're eating the majority of your meals at work events, I don't see this as being the case. This new policy seems pretty consistent with policies which limit how much alcohol (if any) one can expense.

> The German proliferation of knowledge created a curious situation that hardly anyone is likely to have noticed at the time. Sigismund Hermbstädt, for example, a chemistry and pharmacy professor in Berlin, who has long since disappeared into the oblivion of history, earned more royalties for his "Principles of Leather Tanning" published in 1806 than British author Mary Shelley did for her horror novel "Frankenstein," which is still famous today.

In the absence of copyrights, and with plagiarism being rampant (as the article claims) how could authors command favorable royalty agreements? Could a rival publisher not just print the same book, sans royalty agreement, and undercut the original publisher?

These bikes that end up in the water are presumably not being thrown in by bike riders, but by vandals and pranksters. Is it possible that some of the poorly-parked bikes are also the work of individuals just looking to cause trouble?

Though I like the UW's efforts to improve the situation by creating designated bike-share parking, and having the companies enforce it via GPS, I suspect the long term solution to badly parked bicycles will be for these companies to abandon docklessness.
