I know almost nothing about Quantum Mechanics, this seems to provide an interesting model for all particle behavior. I realize it's just a model, but why isn't anyone attempting to explain the actual 'fluid' part? What

I believe this is also called 'business as usual'... but you actually put it much better.

It seems more than coincidental that many of these problems began around the same time insurance companies began large health maintenance organizations (HMO's). It's clear that the original intent was to keep costs lower for the

absolutely true. For the poor and the elderly, the money comes from the government (as you noted). Tapping into that should be straightforward, but it must be incredibly difficult. Otherwise, it seems that VC's would have invested

Great article. I use Python and Java a lot today, and C/C++ quite a bit over the years. Recently, I have been dabbling a bit in Go. Sure, Go builds static binaries, and it's generally performant, but I simply cannot get away f

a serious issue and an impressive indictment of the NEA. We spend an incredible percentage of the tax 'largesse' on education and yet we're still behind our peers (as defined by international assessment standards). Why? I

we built an iBeacon app for a party we threw last Christmas. It was pretty cool, actually.. although Apple gave us a hassle accepting the app for whatever reason. Here's a write up.. http://objectlab.github.io

It's frowned upon to take any time off in the US. I've seen it viewed as a sign of a lack of commitment or even laziness. Consequently, we take less time off because we're scared we're going to lose our jobs. No one is

"Just use the parts you need". (sounds prosaic, but actually well put). I've used C++ over the years off-and-on (depending on what the clients required). You don't really need to use every 'exotic' feature in

I find it interesting that the author states that essentially mathematics is formalized 'pattern matching', yet rails against the insidious imposition of these very patterns in the pedagogy (in the form of rote exercises). Isn&#x2

I like this change.. 'box' is obviously more letters, but cognitively (for some reason) seems to enforce the operation better.

The one saving grace about automation is that there Is rarely enough time to automate everything. The automation software will need to be tweaked to manage the infinite variability of the future. I think getting rid of, or reducing payroll

true. there is a shortage of inexpensive programmers in the US. More people coding = more entry level programmers that are cheap (because, ya know, outsourcing overseas is a bit of a hassle, H1B is a mess, etc, etc). There are probably too

I like ObjC. It's true that what people generally use it for are the Cocoa features, but it could be a really good server language too (particularly with additions of blocks, GCD, and ARC). There are a lot of nice functional feature

awesome. I continue to be amazed at Google's breadth of ambition. If it works, which I assume it mostly does, I think it will be beneficial to most. Some (perhaps even some division of Google itself), will do something totally asinin
