I wonder if there's any Monsanto-esque funny business going on in this debate about EM radiation and cancer. If there was, how could we tell?

Multi-core is priced for big financial institutions, though. Only thing you or I could afford is the 32 bit single-core.

Yes! I'm imagining a value proposition where APL is as fast as C or Fortran, on distributed systems, because at that point it would probably evaporate most of Matlab, Mathematica, and probably TensorFlow's users. Can you imagine?

I can imagine that a fork of GNU APL, re-written in FORTRAN with multi-threaded and maybe distributed computing support, would be an amazing mathematical tool. Something that's super fast and scales really well, and makes mathematical

I'm somewhat familiar with 'homeschooling', and I wonder if a lot of the problems described in the article re: social integration could be mitigated with a one-on-one education where a parent is working with the child. Since
