It terms of feasibility it should be popular because everyone wins either an hour of their life back or wins a chance to really make a difference.

(Starting out a vote by randomly selecting a smaller set of participants is called "sortition")

Also I think the fact that songs can get stuck in your head suggests some kind of mental reinforcement exercise for patterns over time.

1. Why do we like pieces when played forward but not backward or inverted?

2. Why do certain sounds evoke certain emotions?

3. How could you write a program to pick out music that people find especially good (versus music that has surface similarities)?

In other words, why does a particular sequence of sounds A, B, C lead to a mental state M that has particular internal qualities?

It's not incredible. Most space isn't filled with people.

LOWELL, MA–Jeremy Novato, a recent graduate of a well-respected Lowell high school, has secured a position with the McDonald's Corporation, a high-ranking Fortune 500 company. "I'm tremendously excited to have this opportunity to work with the world's number-one restaurant chain," said Novato, 18, pouring ketchup into a large metallic pump dispenser at the $41 billion company's Exeter Road branch Monday."

How much money do you think you made from your review which was written to make it seem like you weren't affiliated with the product? However much that is is what you sold out for.

My opinion: Friends and family is above the line. Reviewing yourself or paying people is below the line.

I'd like to see a blind test for that. And who cares anyway if an expert can detect a certain "feel", other than for status?

I hypothesize the reason humans perform worse after failing a hard question versus passing an easy question is that by keeping yourself down, you avoid getting into trouble claiming a higher status in the tribe than you can pull off if it comes to a confrontation. But you feel bad so that you keep looking for an opportunity to claim the higher status/more resources position. Perhaps explaining this (if it is true) and that this doesn't confer any benefit in our current environment would be just as effective.

Or if you could get a good shadow you may be able to do it with just one other card with the 2 comparison cards aligned and the shadow card tilting down.

Edit: Or just use table corner. 2 cards along edge and line drawing card on other edge.

Winning Mega Millions Jackpot: 1 in 175,711,536. $12M paid over 26 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Millions)

A lottery ticket costs $1 and isn't worth it. A 1% chance to "win" $10 million would arguably be worth $100,000. I wouldn't say it's close. (And that's not even counting that this is annual revenue.)

"If grades and enthusiasm are waning, it’s time for parental intervention. But not too much. And not too little. Really, you know your daughter best, and it’s important to talk about what’s going on at school."

i expect better writing from Wired

"A nod-aware phone would make my daily communications that much more humane, and technology that much more human."

Even if you ignore the insurmountable downsides, it doesn't sound all that human to me.
