I'm only marginally familiar with etcd (which I understand to be something like a worse Zookeeper) and CoreOS itself (which I don't see the point of at all -- I gather it's based on ChromeOS?). I would love to know if there&#

It's not purely that simple. Ideally, the farm owners are trying to hit the price point at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. If the demand curve was perfectly inelastic your explanation would be sufficient, but most con

Play probably is the JVM world's best answer to Rails/Django, but it's neither as complete nor as frictionless. Source: I use both Rails and Play at my day job.

It varies by state, but I just looked up New York, California, and Texas and they are surprisingly uniform. Getting a 72-hour hold is pretty easy, and a psychiatrist can tell the court if s/he deems it necessary to hold for an addition

Birth order has been correlated with the statistical likelihood of an individual being gay (i.e., the more older siblings you have, the more likely you are to be gay). This could definitely pose an evolutionary benefit to a stable populatio

This is a really scary movement, not only because he's blatantly straw-manning both Dawkins and Darwin, but because he's a populist without proper scientific credentials subtly pushing an agenda -- we could call him the Glenn Beck

You don't know what you're talking about. Joe Asshole can't lock random people in the hospital on psychiatric hold, but a psychiatrist can.

Not really. Smoking went down as it became less socially acceptable to do so. Case in point: cigarettes are $6/pack in California, but very few people smoke because those who do are seen as unhealthy louts. Meanwhile in New York cigare
