I came here to say this except for Clojure. While not as pure as Haskell, it has amazing parallel programming primitives like atoms, pmap, software transactional memory, and more that are extremely easy to us relative to trying to accomplis

Disclosure: I work for Apple but not on anything related. I think there are reasons to believe there is some dark purpose behind this, but I think there are also reasons to believe its just Apple continuing its privacy push and not wanting

The "era of Artificial Intelligence" doesn't seem like it's a new software stack to learn when phrased like that to me, but to each their own.

I think it’s important to mention that Elizabeth Warren is displaying a blatantly false ad to illustrate this exact point: she thinks that it’s ridiculous that Facebook is airing obviously false ads and has no accountability.

I'd like to add to not saying "you're so smart," you should say "wow it looks like you worked really hard at that." Makes the kid realize that's what's important, the effort.

Pretty sure the escalating violence in Hong Kong would be a sign that things aren't going flawlessly.

Just because the victim is the same class of people does not make those equivalent or make us hypocritical.

The Chernobyl death toll estimates have been widely criticized as wrong because of the influence of the Soviet government trying to hide the problem. Some estimate the death toll to be at least an order of magnitude higher, and the area is

While I would expect repercussions when swinging at police, I think being physically present in confrontation shows a level of commitment that a weaker protest movement might not show. Sure, if you die you aren't going to be protesting

Godel has nothing to do with this. Chinese organ donation is well documented across many news organizations. There are some crazy facts regarding how quickly you can get a new liver, for instance. It can take people months or years in most

I feel like all the people who are involuntary organ-donors might disagree if they weren't dead. China has a way of disappearing people who don't like it. I wonder how many people would come out more vocally if you weren't di
