Easily 5x as useful as Google Glass. Though, still not that useful.

What's the right metric? Pre 1.0 typically means the software is still in beta. I realize node.js is used by many sites and large sites, but if it is stable/reliable the versioning should reflect that.

Node.js has been out for 4 years and it's only at 0.10.23? At this rate it will be 50 years before they get to version 1.0

Wish there was a better sales page explaining what it does instead of having to download a trial. Importing/parsing a .csv file isn't hard in Python. What else does it do?

The problem is that Congress doesn't represent the people. It's biased toward the older, wealthy, white, Christian male. Everyone else gets marginalized. Voting =/= representation. Math gave us the solution on how to get a re

I'd be more hopeful if it was open sourced, and not built by a company that has pioneered DRM...

The design is open source, anyone can build it. As opposed to the et3 concept, which requires a 5% royalty if you build it.

All mass transportation is heavily directly subsidized by the government. "Much is made of the $30 billion spent on Amtrak over the last 30 years, but in that same period the federal government spent $1.89 TRILLION on air and highway m

The hyperloop is open source though. Even if it wasn't, 20 years isn't a huge head start to work out all the bugs and build very many lines given the cost/time to build 1.

"Pettis likens it to the US railroad boom in late the 1800s. “Most of it was very, very wasteful and the companies eventually went bankrupt. The railroads shifted to new owners who bought at a significant discount. That meant they coul

Mass transportation has always lost money. Most of the original railroads in America went bankrupt. Today, ~90% of the cost of building railroads are subsidized by the government. In Japan, they over-invested in trains and it produced a hug

So then you couldn't use a CDN to load your JS files, which might kill your performance gains. How does this change loading partials? I disagree about the complexity. I've build Angular apps with a RESTful backend that couldn&#x27

When will google hire a decent designer? Who thought it was a good idea to go crazy with parallax and take control of your scroll wheel half way down the page? I feel like their javascript just puked on me. Great gallery at the bottom... lo

You can read more in-depth evidence in the book, "The Greatest Show on Earth. Evolution is not a hypothesis, it is a fact. It's not even debated among biologists. If you have some evidence against it (or for creation), submit it t

Genetic similarity is more precise than a generic toolset. We can tell relationships based on how similar their genes are (assuming you don't deny paternity tests). Genetic evaluation tells us that dogs are 100% descendant from wolves,

I recently moved to Orlando from Hawaii for the cost benefits. Pros: - Florida was the hit the hardest by the housing collapse, so it's like houses are having a 50% off sale. - Lots to do. Many cities here like Orlando and Miami were b

Are there any benchmarks out there for the different prediction engines out there?

Almost everything complex we see in the universe has a simple explanation. The galaxies/stars/planets formed because of gravity. Evolution is small gradual steps. Most science equations could fit on 1" of paper. Why would the

Invoking a god for creation creates more problems than it solves, because now you have to ask, who created god? Since a god must be more complex than his creation, you created a bigger problem to solve. I believe the current thinking for th

There is equal evidence for both god and the tooth fairy. Just because your parents paid for your tooth, doesn't mean there isn't a tooth fairy out there. A parent's word alone is pretty weak evidence compared to the overwhel

by JDDunn9 13y ago
The burden of proof always lies on the person making the claim. The null hypothesis would be that god (or the tooth fairy) doesn't exist until we have sufficient evidence to prove it does exist. As for macro-evolution, there is a mount

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe if you're going to fix an election, it should be done with lots of money and empty campaign promises! The public must be involved. Not in a meaningful sense, just as pawns in a larger corporate agen

Most robots would be confined to one store/space. Especially considering legs double the cost, likelihood of failing, complexity, etc.

I think there's plenty of room for more robotics in the real world today. No C3-PO yet (which was technically a walking google translate), but even something like this robot making food ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

This doesn't seem like it will do much to advance robotics in the private sector (wheels are fine). I'm more excited to see more results from the DARPA arm program ( http://www.gizmag.com/irobot-darpa-autonomous-rob

I hate IE compatibility too, but there's still a lot of people using them; ~5% use IE8, ~2 use IE7. What business is willing to give up 7% of their revenue?

Unfortunately, I didn't see improved documentation in their future vision... I'm not sure how a lot of those ideas will work with compatibility with older versions of IE. You already have issues using the element tags for new attr
