Im going to guess bernoulli

It is Bernoulli (mentioned in the comment I replied to). I just failed to guess that myself :)

Sliding Doors the movie comes to mind

To my recollection "sliding doors" was already a meme (in the Dawkins sense). The movie was based on that. I swear I remember explaining to my then girlfriend the term, as I'd read it on the internet?

Wikipedia says the term came from the movie. Obviously the idea didn't; but it's my recollection wrong or can anyone show that Wikipedia is wrong here?

I guess a search on Usenet archives might find something?

reminds me of health care industry

Yik Yak is still very popular on my campus and it's one of the five apps that I use everyday. Very sad to see them go.

Which university is that? It died at ours already a few months ago :(

The link seems to be broken now. From Google Cache I was able to read the article and found out that BoA reached out to the author after the blog post got traction. I wish the post has remained to get more readership and serve as a reminder for BoA to act put together.

Perhaps distillers should be the reviewers of top publishers so they can have more power.

The New York to Italy example in the article is a bit confusing to me. Seems that there's about 6 hours difference between Milan and New York, and the flight itself is 8~9 hours. Leaving New York at 6PM, arrives Milan at 3AM EST, 9AM Milan time. "Instead of shifting you earlier to Italian time, it makes you feel it’s even later — that the night is over and it’s already morning." Does the body choose to this because shifting to "already morning" is smaller difference(6 hours) than "still not night time" (18 hours)?

The anonymous thing is really messed up. The manager sounds super unprofessional and shouldn't be a manager.

This will really monopolize ISP in many places including my town.

This sounds really annoying.
