For such a well-trafficked site, Reddit keeps its number of employees relatively low and uses an unapologetically retro site design, yet it's a near-bottomless source of news and humor for the Internet-at-large every single day.

The company doesn't have its own dedicated space, but instead operates out of a San Francisco co-working space that seems to mirror the positive, low-key vibe of the site.

Reuters recently came through and took the some pictures of the Reddit workspace.

A sign on the door warns of nerds who shouldn't be allowed to escape.

Reddit's red-eyed alien mascot greets you when you walk in.

These appear to be the previously mentioned nerds — Reddit employees pore over their computer screens.

Reddit programmer Keith Mitchell works beside an image of the Reddit alien piloting a giant robot.

The office is littered with images of the company mascot. Here's a large one:

But there are smaller ones all over the place.

Reddit saw 713 million unique visitors last year, and it did it all with a small team and alien mascots.

Sarah Bergbreiter is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maryland, and she and her team build tiny robots.

Just how tiny? Bergbreiter calls it "ant-scale," but said, "That's really just a PR term. Our robots are built on the millimeter scale, less than 1 centimeter."

This all happens out of the university's Microrobotics Laboratory, where they develop technologies that aim to make tiny robots that not only function properly, but will one day be as handy and useful as large robots.

"The immediate impact of this research is on the fabrication process," Bergbreiter told us.

Small robots don't have nearly the capacity to carry around sensors and batteries that make robots conventionally useful. Consider the human-size Atlas robot by Boston Dynamics. At 6 feet tall and 330 pounds, it's more than capable of carrying powerful sensors and its own power supply. Bergbreiter and company don't have the luxury of working without such constraints, so they're constantly evaluating how to adapt larger-scale technologies for the smaller scale.

Bergbreiter is focused on efficient robot movement, especially over rough terrain. We asked her if it's better for microbot locomotion to imitate nature or to aim for something totally new, and she says her team has tried both approaches. "Biology lets us look at solutions that exist in the natural world. We’re inspired by them, but we've also deviated significantly from nature to build robots that jump, for example."

Over the next 10 years, techniques from UMD's Microrobotics Laboratory will lead to improvements in larger robots: "Actuators designed at a small scale can be into a larger scale system for more control than you would normally get," Bergbreiter told us.

There may even be private business interest in such small-scale fabrication and actuation. "We're concerned with precision and low power. It's not all that different from what you'd want in a zoom camera."

In the longer term, there's a lot of potential applications in the medical field. "By combining small actuation mechanisms with low power, we could stand to improve things like camera pills, or catheters," said Bergbreiter.

Check out this great YouTube video from the University of Maryland's robotics department that gives us a look inside the Microrobotics Laboratory.

Consider how agile small insects are — ants can move up to 40 body lengths per second, cockroaches can get into impossibly narrow places.

Professor Bergbreiter's work aims to make similar behavior possible for robots of a similar size.

Here's one such robot — a small six-legged creation that walks around under its own power.

Developers usually make apps for the iPhone first, which means updates for Android and other platforms can take a little while to get to users of those platforms.

But there are quite a few awesome apps that Android owners can use that their iPhone-using friends can't.

Hello SMS is a great app for sending texts.

Hello SMS replaces the messaging app built into most Android phones. The app utilizes a tab system to organize chats so you can quickly alternate between conversations with a single touch. Time Stamps give you the ability to quickly respond to messages as well. Plus, you can send an assortment of emoji to spruce up a boring group chat.

Price: Free

Aviate emphasizes the "smart" in smartphones when it comes to apps.

Aviate 's goal is to deliver you the right apps at the right time. The program learns your habits and can customize the apps on your screen for certain situations. When you wake up in the morning, Aviate can immediately deliver the traffic reports and reminders about calendar meetings right to your phone.

A host of politicians, world leaders, nonprofit powerhouses, and creative minds call the nation's capital home. It's where global change takes shape and history is made.

Those changemakers eat, drink, and shop like the rest of us, and local businesses serve up all they could want and more.

Washington, D.C.'s bustling small-business scene has everything from a Prohibition-inspired gin distillery to a coffee shop that uses technology to roast its beans to perfection.

The Big Board

421 H Street NE

What it is: A bar that prices drinks based on current market value.

Why it's cool: The Big Board treats beer like a commodity: The price of beer changes depending on the current supply and demand in the market, just like stocks. Beers are listed on a big board — hence the name — that displays the prices in real time, so if you're lucky you may pay less for the same beer than the guy who walks in after you.

Bits of Thread

1794 Columbia Road NW, #6

What it is: A sewing studio out to revive D.C.'s crafting scene.

Why it's cool: Bits of Thread is proving that crafting is not a dead hobby. This Adams Morgan-located sewing studio teaches group and private sewing lessons, holds open sewing sessions, and sells all the things you need to make anything out of fabric. It's also bringing more kids around to this fun and useful skill with lessons designed for smaller fingers.

The Codmother

1334 U Street NW

What it is: A combination dive bar and fish-and-chips shop.

Why it's cool: Inspired by punk, this underground pub place pays homage to The Sex Pistols and Sid Vicious while serving up some of the best beer-battered fish and chips the capital has to offer. It tries to serve only female cod, which it says has better meat and also perfectly complements the cheap PBR/whiskey specials.

Imagine if your dining room was 15,000 square feet and contained eight miniature restaurants, staffed by world-renowned chefs serving artisanal food and drink, all day, every day.

This is the unusual amenity enjoyed by tenants of Gotham West, the new luxury apartment complex tucked into the back pocket of Hell's Kitchen.

Click to go straight to the tour » 

Located way out on 11th Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets, Gotham West Market is a large, glassed-in food market spanning the ground floor. It exists because of the building's inconvenient address. When the developers were designing it, they wanted to include a high-quality, immersive dining experience for tenants (and to lure prospective renters so far west).

They reached out to several specialty grocers, who were all turned off by the odd space configuration, said Christopher Jaskiewicz, chief operating officer of Gotham Organization, Inc. "So we decided to curate our own market," Jaskiewicz told Business Insider. His team spoke with 50 operations before narrowing it down to an elite nine, which would set up shop inside (Little Chef has since left the building).

So far, it's working. From the moment patrons walk through the glass doors, Gotham West Market offers an immersive experience, allowing visitors to watch as their food is prepared before their eyes, and providing direct access to the cooks' encyclopedic knowledge of the menu. It has become not just a convenient dining option for tenants, but a destination for all New Yorkers, including the business lunch crowd, weekend travelers, and tourists.

So if people are going out of their way to sample the gourmet purveyors, is Gotham West Market really a food court after all?

"We never use the word 'food court' because of the connotation it has,"Jaskiewicz says. "But if someone wrote 'the best food court ever built,' we'd take that. Maybe we are."

Gotham West Market gives neighbors and tourists alike a reason to venture deep into Hell's Kitchen. It's located way out on 11th Ave., between 44th and 45th St.

This dining destination exists because of its inconvenient address. The developers of Gotham West, the new luxury apartment complex sitting above and behind the market, aimed to lure renters by providing a quality, one-of-a-kind dining experience under their own roof.

Forget your preconceived notions of food court fare. Gotham West Market features eight premiere artisanal food purveyors, plus a bike shop and beer locker.

Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas is living a lavish lifestyle as he continues to get paid even though he hasn't played an NBA game since 2012.

He made $22.3 million this season, making him the 30th highest-paid athlete in the world.

The Orlando Magic used the "amnesty" rule to cut Gilbert and remove him from their salary cap in 2011.

Under the rule, he still gets paid.

So even though he's out of work he can afford to spend money like crazy.

He spent $100,000 to landscape his $3.5 million mansion.

Aside from being known as NASCAR's unofficial hometown and having near-idyllic weather, not a lot is said about North Carolina's largest city.

But Charlotte, home to Bank of America, is actually the second-largest banking center in the U.S., after New York City, and is a hub for many other banks and energy firms.

And the city has a lot more to offer than chain restaurants and shiny skyscrapers. Here are some great attractions to check out next time you find yourself on a business trip to "Queen City."

For a hearty southern breakfast, try the Terrace Cafe. With locations in both Ballantyne Village and Southpark, it should be nearby no matter where you stay. And if your morning is packed, no worries — they serve breakfast (including red velvet waffles) all day long.

4625 Piedmont Row Dr, Charlotte, NC. & 14815 Ballantyne Village Way, Charlotte, NC. terracecafecharlotte.com

Have a break between meetings? Drop by Ballantyne Village, a boutique shopping center in south Charlotte. It includes an art house theater, dozens of restaurants, and a fitness center, in addition to high-end shopping.

Nik Freeman has created an awesome map that shows the areas in the U.S. where absolutely no one lives.

Using statistics from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, Freeman used green to color in census blocks with no reported residents. (We first spotted it on The Washington Post Know More blog).

“The United States consists of 11,078,300 Census Blocks,” Freeman explained on his Tumblr. “Of them, 4,871,270 blocks totaling 4.61 million square kilometers were reported to have no population living inside them. Despite having a population of more than 310 million people, 47% of the USA remains unoccupied.”

Most of the green shading highlights areas where human habitation is either restrictive (lakes, rivers, floodplains, mountains, etc) or prohibited by social or legal convention (wilderness protected states, recreational areas such as state parks, and more). 

“Ultimately, I made this map to show a different side of the United States,” Freeman wrote. “Human geographers spend so much time thinking about where people are. I thought I might bring some new insight by showing where they are not, adding contrast and context to the typical displays of the country’s population geography.”

You can see more of his maps on his Tumblr or at his website.

Ever felt like living like a member of a dynasty? This Florida property, originally christened by a member of the Carnegie family, can give you that feeling for just $5 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

According to the listing, the home was built for the nephew of steel industry tycoon Andrew Carnegie in 1924.

The four-bedroom river-front mansion sits on 22 acres, boasts 22-foot ceilings, a billiard room, ice cream parlor and its own private dock.

This historic home is listed with Deb Duvall of Water Pointe Realty. 

The waterfront home is located in Stuart, Fla., and was reportedly nicknamed 'Lucinda' by Mr. Carnegie. Citrus, mango and avocado trees surround the approximately 8,170-square-foot home.

Another view of the entrance.

A lovely aerial view of the property.

Jon Stryker, a philanthropist and heir to a surgical and hospital supply fortune, has sold his duplex penthouse overlooking Central Park for $42 million, according to The Real Deal.

Stryker originally listed the property back in October 2013 for $48 million. The identity of the buyer remains unknown.

The 5,600-square-foot apartment is at the top of the Prásadá building on New York's 65th Street and Central Park West.

Stryker originally paid $12.8 million for the two neighboring apartments back in 2002, which, at that time, was the most expensive apartment purchase in the history of the Upper West Side.

The home, which was sold through real estate agent Brown Harris Stevens, has 12 rooms with plenty of windows, as well as two terraces that look out over the park.

This is the Prásadá building on the Upper West Side. It was built in the French Second Empire style.

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri is now trying to distance himself from his Times Square restaurant, Guy’s American Kitchen & Bar.

The chef has been making the media rounds for the opening of his brand-new restaurant in Las Vegas, Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar. He was asked by Las Vegas Weekly about his infamous New York City outpost, and the scathing, zero-star New York Times review written about it by food critic Pete Wells back in 2012. Here's how Fieri responded (emphasis ours):

I only do things the best I can do them in the moment that I'm doing them. Have I learned from that experience? Yes. But I was doing the best I could do. Also, remember it's a licensing deal. I'm the chef, I make the recipes, I make the idea and I give it to a group.Let's be realistic about what this was. But there was nothing realistic about what was being said. You know, you take it; it hurts; it's a bummer. But whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

The gist of his argument is that though the recipes and the idea for the restaurant were his, after that the restaurant's day-to-day operations (and food) was out of his hands. The actual cooks in the kitchen weren’t under his control.

And while this is technically true, Grubstreet is quick to point out that Fieri's latest quote is in direct contrast to what he originally said about the restaurant. He even took a redeye flight to be on the TODAY Show when it opened in 2012. At the time, he claimed to be instrumental to the NYC restaurant, saying, "Not only did we design the restaurant, we spent a year in a half doing this. We wrote the menu, brought my culinary team in to work with this team here that’s on premise all the time. I did the training for the front of the house, I did the training for the back of the house. I was here painstaking hours."

“This is more heart and soul,” he concluded to Savannah Guthrie. “This is not just a name stamp.”

Guy Fieri's other name stamp — Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar — opened today.

Nearly 200 musical acts gathered last weekend for three days in Indio, Calif., for the first of two weekends of the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Some of the musicians there are more well known than others, but everyone puts on a show for the thousands of fans who traveled from near and far.

In case you don't have the chance to attend this year, we put together the most awesome photos of musical performances we could find.

Lana Del Rey engaged the audience during her set on Sunday.

Debbie Harry joined Arcade Fire for a duet of a punchy version of Blondie's "Heart of Glass."

Arcade Fire ended the festival Sunday night, and continued playing an acoustic finale after their midnight curfew.

In many languages, a single word describes a concept that might require an entire phrase in English. 

Like Japanese, Russian uses a  different alphabet (Cyrillic) than English and has lots of words that just don't translate.

Here are some words for which we wish there were an English equivalent:

Тоска (tas-'ka)

While this Russian word roughly translates as emotional pain or melancholy, native speakers continue to claim Americans can't possibly understand its depth. Vladimir Nabokov, the famous Russian-American author of "Lolita," put it best:

No single word in English renders all the shades of "toska." At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.

пошлость ('poshe-list)

In Anton Chekhov’s short story “A Lady With a Dog,” the heroine cries out after sex that she has become a "poshlost" woman. 

"This one word encompasses triviality, vulgarity, sexual promiscuity, and a lack of spirituality," Harvard professor Svetlana Boym explains in "Common Places: Everyday Life in Russia."

From 1860 to 1960, Boym also notes, Soviet Russia embarked on a battle against this particular form of banal obscenity.

бытие ('bwi-tee-ye)

Post by themedved on /r/doesnottranslate, this Russian noun hints at hyper-consciousness or an objective and analytical mindset. Russian-to-English dictionaries might translate it as "being." While the word does stem from the Russian verb for "to be," the exact meaning contains a metaphysical property English can't relay.

Proz.com, a forum for translations, also defines the word as "enrichment of one's life."

переподвыподверт ('per-e-pod-'voy-pod-'vert)

Reddit user deffun on /r/doesnottranslate defined this noun as "to do something in a complex, incomprehensible way." 

The word kind of embodies itself, as it has four prefixes including one that repeats itself twice.

беспредел (bes-pre-'del)

Posted by Reddit user Izgoy on /r/doesnottranslate, "bespredel" literally means "without limits or boundaries," as New York University Slavic professor Eliot Borenstein defined in his book, "Overkill: Sex and Violence In Contemporary Russian Popular Culture."

The word also conjures images of chaotic violence, and Google translate says it means "lawlessness." When this state is in place, an ordinary person is at the mercy of somebody behaving without regard to law or structures. 

почемучка ('pa-che-'mooch-ka)

This refers to a person, normally a child, who asks a lot of questions.

While English-speakers might use "busybody,""pochemuchka" doesn't have the same negative connotation. In fact, parents or grandparents often us it as a term of endearment because of its relation to a children's book called "Что я ви́дел," or "What I Saw."

сушняк ('soosh-nyak)

Like English, Russian has a slew of words to convey states of drunkenness: various levels, hangovers, and more.

According to a post by DragonFilet, it means "that really dry feeling you get in your throat when you wake up after a night of drinking."

It can also interpreted idiomatically as "the cat pooped in my mouth," as noted by The Arioch.

Недоперепил ('ne-do-per-ee-'pel)

Another drinking-related word, posted by Pavswede, this means "under-over-drunk," as defined on Proz.com. In other words, someone drank more than he or she should have, but less than he or she could have (or wanted to).

белоручка ('bel-a-'rooch-ka)

This word describes someone who doesn't want to do any dirty work. The first part of the word, "belo," is a variant of "white" in Russian. As noted by the Moscow Times, Russian includes tons of black-and-white meaning good-and-evil references.

There is more interest for the iPhone 6 than any other iPhone we can remember. 

Perhaps this is because Apple is reportedly going to offer a 4.7-inch version of the phone. The current one is 4 inches.

Apple is also reportedly going to do a 5.5-inch version of the iPhone, but that seems less likely right now.

This is the last major physical change Apple can make to the iPhone. For years, Android phone companies have been producing phones that are 4.7 inches and bigger. iPhone owners have been lusting after a big screen, and now they are going to get one. 

With all the hype for the iPhone 6, illustrators are making renderings of what they think it will look like based on leaked schematics and rumors about the screen size. 

Designer Martin Hajek (follow him on Twitter at @deplaatjesmaker) decided to do his own renderings of what the iPhone 6 will look like. They're probably the best attempt at it we've seen so far.

A little less than one year after he bought a $2.2 million condo in Miami Beach, Alex Rodriguez sold it for $2.575 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

A-Rod put the condo on the market back in December for $3.2 million.

The condo is in a luxury building with plenty of amenities and gorgeous views of the beach.

Rodriguez is suspended from MLB for the entirety of the 2014 season for alleged violations of MLB's PED policy.

Robin Williams has relisted his 653-acre estate in Napa Valley for $29.9 million, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The actor had previously tried and failed to sell the estate, nicknamed Villa Sorriso, for $35 million in 2012.

The 20,000-square-foot home has five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and six half-bathrooms. Amenities included a library, theater, elevator, a wine cellar, and an art gallery.

The vast property, which has both vineyards and olive trees, is crisscrossed with roads and trails.

Meredith Galante contributed to this story.

Welcome to Villa Sorriso.

The property is 80 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Williams built the home himself in the early 2000s, according to The Wall Street Journal.

On quiet nights in college in the late 1990s, New Orleans photographer Frank Relle went out with a friend at Tulane University and strolled through the neighborhoods of his hometown. The two would concoct stories about the imagined residents of the city's unique homes, both the ornate mansions and decrepit houses (colloquially referred to as "shotgun shacks"). 

When Relle returned in 2004, after 3 years away from the the city, he began looking for a way to tell the the story of New Orleans through his camera. He soon realized his excursions in college had the answer; he decided to document his hometown through its unusual houses.  

New Orleans has long been a city of haves and have-nots. As recently as 2011, the U.S. census bureau reported that New Orleans had the 6th-highest income inequality in the United States. At no time was this more apparent than in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when poor low-lying neighborhoods were devastated while mansions built on high ground suffered little to no damage. 

When the storm hit, Relle had already been photographing houses for nearly a year. Discouraged and forced to moved to New York, he thought the project was over. Then he realized the project had just begun and returned to photograph the homes in the aftermath of Katrina. 

Relle shared some of the photos from New Orleans Nights here, but you can see the rest at his website, where he sells prints of the work.

Most of the mansions that Relle photographed have been standing for more than 100 years and are considered "historic." Some, like this one, have not been well-maintained.The mansions were built on high ground, because when the houses were built, the city did not have the means to pump water out of the low-lying areas. This means the city's grandest houses were not as affected by Hurricane Katrina as those in other areas. This house is located next to New Orleans' City Park, a large public park that is 50% larger than Central Park. City Park holds the largest collection of mature live oak trees. Two can be seen here.This house is located on Charles Street in uptown New Orleans, also known as "Millionaire's Row," due to the number of 19th century mansions that were built on the road.When Relle began the project, he would sneak around the city, plugging his photographic lights into the outlets of nearby houses and photographing the homes without the owners' knowledge.Now, Relle hires a police officer to come with him on shoots and help close off streets. He also works with the property owners to ensure that they are okay with the shoot and cars are not left in front of the house.While there are a few affluent neighborhoods of mansions, there are many more neighborhoods of "shotgun shacks" like these in Bywater, one of the few sections of the Ninth Ward to escape flooding during Katrina. The shacks are distinguished by their long, narrow structure.Many of these less affluent neighborhoods were devastated by Katrina. The Lower Ninth Ward, where this house is located, was by far the worst hit section of New Orleans.Relle calls New Orleans "a massive outdoor museum, because the architecture is a representation of the history." Even the impoverished neighborhoods show that history. The "shotgun shacks" became popular in New Orleans as early as the mid-1800s.

While many areas were devastated by Katrina, most of the homes are far more affected by, what Relle calls, "the slow-hand of humidity," rather than flooding. Neglect and poverty are also to blame for the deterioration. This house is located in Tremé, a famous neighborhood historically associated with African-American culture and the city's robust brass band tradition.This house is located in the Lower Garden District, which was largely unaffected by Katrina flooding. That house is still in utter disrepair.

Every iPhone owner wishes Siri could be more useful. Fortunately, a group of college kids found a way to make that happen.

University of Pennsylvania freshmen Ben Hsu, Ajay Patel, Alex Sands, Gagan Gupta created a program called Googolplex during the college's annual hackathon.

Googolplex is essentially a replacement for Siri that can sync with third-party apps. You have to adjust some settings in your iPhone to access Googolplex though. After that, the app will launch instead of Siri whenever you hold down your iPhone's home button.

Googolplex can play music from Spotify, turn up the temperature in your house through the Nest Learning Thermostat, and even unlock the doors on your Tesla. The developers plan to build more functionality into Googolplex, but it's already impressive that they were able to hack Siri with such a simple setup process.

Check out how you can get Googolplex running on your iPhone below. You need to have an iPhone 4S or later model running the latest version of iOS, iOS 7.

Go to the "Settings" option on your iPhone.
